Hello there, I am new to this who review thing,...

Hello there,
I am new to this who review thing, but here goes. I am a 26 year old female with a 6yr old and a 2 year old. I have been slightly overweight for the most part of my life. After having my son I weighed in at 180pds. Then I slowly gained weight and weighed in at a whopping 230pds in May 2013 and oh yea I'm 5'3". I have lost 30pds in the last 6 months so now I weigh 200pds. Which she said I should lose 25pds prior to surgery. My goal weight is between 145-160. I know that's still considered "obese" but to me it's just right. I had recently contacted dr. Walkiris, well her assistant Laura. I told her I wanted to get a BBL, TT and Lipo which she quoted me $5350. I only wanted the BBL because I wanted it to get rid of my cellulite. Because my butt is pretty big already I just wanted to even it out a little. But I then decided not to do the BBL and just deal with cellulite for now and just exercise. So I contacted Laura again and told her I just wanted TT, Lipo upper under arms, back and waist when she them quoted the price of $4800. I am pleased with the price but more frightened being that I have never flown anywhere before. Laura also informed me to send a $100 deposit in order to confirm an appointment. It's non refundable but it goes towards your surgery when you arrive for surgery. I am planning to schedule my appointment on March 4th 2014. Sorry if I left anything out but I will follow up with you all. :)

Congratulations on your decision Iam sure it's going to be all worth it ! Iam also in the process of finding my surgeon for my tt and bbl and have 3 daughters in my first pregnancy at 17 years old( I know I was super young) I went from 120 to 180 that's when I gain most of my stretch marks and second pregnancy I gained 35 last one 30 so here Iam at 143 4 months post partum and so ready to fix my body! I just want to find the right surgeon! Good luck on your journey!

Hello. Thanks zulybella. I am so excited and anxious. I am scared but more because of the flight then the surgery. I have never flown anywhere. But yea I have been looking around for almost 1 and a half years now and have been looking at Dr. walkiris's work. From what I've seen she does an awesome job on tummy tucks. I would like a BR or BL but I can't get them done at the same time. Congrats on your weight loss. And kids what would we do without them, besides have the perfect figure...lol. Jk. Good luck and happy hunting :)

Ok well I decided to go ahead and put a few things on layaway for this trip. And man do I thank God and Kmart for layaway...lol. The things I put on layaway were:

*Draw string pants
*Pack of tshirts
*Pack of wife beaters,
*Backpack (I have to do my homework while I'm there)
*Passport wallet
*Pillow and blanket (I always carry one wherever I go)
*U shape pillow
*Button up gown one long sleeve & one short
*Brita filter water bottle (can't carry too much water and don't plan on buying any)
*5 set luggage ( cheaper to get 5pc for $90 then get one PC for $60 )
*Jacket (have no idea what the weather will be like but I just bought a light jacket just incase)
*Small purse (I have mostly large purses and I don't want to have to worry about someone stealing out my large purse at airport or on the plane verses me having a small with long straps to put it in front of me at all times and on my flight back home I don't want to have to carry to many heavy things after surgery.)
*sports bras (there just more comfortable to me)
*headphones
* makeup bag (soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, wipes, mouthwash, deodorant and etc)

I have way more to get but that was just a few things I could out on layaway the other things I will buy as time gets near.

I'm going to santo Domingo overseas. The flight altogether is about 5hrs. Not including the layover the airport may have in between flights. I contacted dr. Walkiris's office and the responded within a few hours and telling me what pics to take and then a couple days later she gave me a quote. They are very quick and prompt with answering emails, so far from what I have seen. The quote they give you last up to 6 months. Her email is info@drawalkirisrobles.com and her website is www.drawalkirisrobles.com/ Just incase you want to check them out to give you another option. Hope this helps :)
