Thank you... Btw I posted a comment on your review..

Thank you :)

You're welcome. And yes I know!! I literally put all my faith in her SOLEY based on our interactions because there weren't that many reviews on bigger girls. Except this one other review I found where the girl was heavier than me. But I have no regrets. 180 lbs is nothing! I went in 200lbs. 20 lbs heavier and she was still able to give me a big booty, smaller waist and flat stomach!! I should have put the other girls name from the review on here but it was months and months ago, I wouldn't even remember. It's just that Baez isn't that much popular as other doctors in DR. But it's all good, by feb next year, you have more than enough time to loose weight. I'm glad I didn't even at 200lbs cause she was able to take a lot from me to transfer to my butt. Being heavier has it's advantage and disadvantage because of having more fat to work with. I'm not saying don't loose weight tho, cause a disadvantage of being heavier is of course not having a smaller waist line. It all depends on your preference. Like me, I could of chosen to loose more weight, but I like being wide, I love the look of the hips sticking out the sides. Some rather have a smaller waist, I knew the tt would fix that regardless. So again it depends on what you want achieved. I saw your pictures and you look like a got a booty already. I mean me even being a heavier patient I didn't have as much booty as you lol. You're gonna look great I already know it!!!

Thanks... I've been doing crossfit and squats work because 2 years ago I literally had nothing! I'm planning on losing 30 before surgery but no more than that because I want some fat to transfer but my waist matters more than the booty. I had my first kid at 18 and then it was a c-section at that so I've never been able to wear a bikini or anything like that. This for me is literally going to be life changing and a dream come true! Would you mind telling me you're height? And also what items would you strongly suggest taking/not taking?

I'm just not trying to over pack

I'm 5'6. If I could remember you said you were 5'? But from the looks of it regardless I had more fat than you. You seen those 2 rolls of fat? Lol. And I agree my waist mattered more. This is literally everything I suggest on taking down to toothpaste to what surgical supplies I used. Tooth brush/paste 5 maxi dresses (I stood at the recovery house for about 10 days) wore each dress about twice. 1 pair of flip flops Compression socks GAUZE PADS for my tt and belly button... DO NOT use cotton balls like some people used, unless you cover it in gauze because your belly button leaks fluid and when you go to change the cotton ball, it will leave some of it inside your belly button. I had that problem and it took about a week for the rest of the cotton ball to come out. SURGICAL TAPE to secure the gauze. You'll need enough for maybe 2 times to change the gauze cause Baez doesn't want you changing it yourself until after the first visit and it's usually 5 days post op. So depending on how long you're there for, I would change mine every 2-3 days. MAXI PADS to stuff the tight parts of the faja and for more compression, I used 3 packs from dollar tree. Everything I got was from dollar tree. Everything was literally $1. Hair brush Pack of panties 2 sports bra Antibacterial soap Antibacterial wipes Cleansing wipes since you won't be able to shower BUT after the first follow up, Baez cleared me to be able to use bottled water, the RH house should be able to provide unlimited water. So I didn't have to buy any of my own. I also bought suppositories which are these small little skinny things you put in your butt to make you use the bathroom, I didn't want stool softeners because I did not want to ingest extra things and besides they give me bad stomachaches and headaches. The suppositories come right back out cause it will make you go within 5 minutes. It'll be hard to go right after surgery but I was about to at 2 or 3 days post op I forgot which one, cause it's also hard to push. I wish I brought a neck pillow and a bloody pillow for your butt to cushion it because your butt will feel like a bag of rocks!! And the pressure from the hard bed will make it hurt even more. I remember if I had more than 10 pillows on my bed just to make it A LITTLE better around the butt. I didn't bring deodorant because I was scheduled to have surgery the next day and was getting an arm lift and couldn't use any because of how close the incision were. I'm not sure if you're getting one but you won't need it. Also I didn't even use my arnica gel, I still have no clue what it was for. Bruising or whatever. Or swelling who knows. I had tons of bruising and swelling, it went away on it's on. So you can save yourself $10. I didn't use the water pills Baez suggested. It was for swelling, again it goes away on it's own. So that could save you $5 lol. I bought so much unnecessary things it's ridiculous. That's literally all I brought. Hopefully I'm not forgetting anything. But the routine in my recovery house was, you'd wake up, brush your teeth, clean yourself or use bottled water, change clothes, while they wash your faja, eat breakfast, get your massage and then that was it...relax, lay down recovery or walk around. You don't need much. Some of these girls be wasting $100's of dollars. I spent $25 and still didn't use half my supplies. Did you buy supplies yet?

No I haven't but I have a cart full on Amazon, I've just been waiting for a total list of necessities. I wanted to at least get a funnel and arnica gel though. I'm wondering if my TT scar will heal like my c-section one... If so then I'll use the gel to make practically unnoticeable. I healed really well from my c-section and breast reduction scars. They're there but they're both light so I figure with the gel it'll be all gone! I know one person said to get like the adult panties (Dependa or something similar) just in case. I'm am extreme couponer so I'm not to worry about prices because I know I can get just about everything for free but I'm worried about taking to many suitcases, lol. Oh and what is a bloody pillow? Is it just a reference to a pillow you don't mind getting all bloody?

Thank you very informative. I just sent Dr Beaz an email and got a reply within minutes but it never give me quote for what I asked....it included tummy tuck which am not interested in because I have not had any children yet. Would you recommend that I call the office directly to get a different quote.

Also would you suggest using the foam boards over the maxi pad? That's another item in my shopping cart as well

Lmao I meant boppy pillow, it's like the neck pillow but a little bigger, the one you use for babies, you put it around your butt it sit on it. Sorry lol. But I would defiantly recommend foam boards over pads. The pads after a couple uses start loosing shape and would reuse a lot, either or is fine but foam boards are better so you won't have to pack a lot of pads. And the disposable adult panties are a good idea if you don't feel like buying panties since they'll get bloody anyway. But I didn't want them, I bought regular panties instead so that I could wear it under my faja. The faja is going to be super tight in the crotch area, so wearing panties under helped. Some people wear t shirts under their faja also because it's tight and causes burns. I thought arnica was for bruising? I've never heard anyone put it directly on their scar. Interesting. What supplies do you have on your Amazon list?

Thanks :) ...You should send her another email asking her what the price includes and ask her to be more specific. If I were you id what's app her. Her emails more so her quotes tend to be more automated. You don't need to have kids to be a candidate for a tummy tuck. I actually got one and don't have kids. A tummy tuck is nothing but removing excessive skin, sometimes do they tighten the muscles and that's for women who has had kids...their muscles separate. Anyone can get a tt, you don't need kids to have one, even men have tt. You can ask her not to tighten your muscles. Do you have her number for whats app?

Another thing, remember you would have to take off the faja every time you use the bathroom if you choose to wear the panties under your faja. I had no choice since I had my period. The crotch area wasn't big enough for the pad to cover. Having to keep taking on and off my faja wasn't a big deal for me, for some yes but I was used to taking it off multiple times a day because they would wash it everyday, or I'd have to take it off when id get a massage or to clean myself or if I had to do number 2 etc.

Lol...I thought the arnica was for the scar but now that I think about it Baez never did say what exactly it was used for. I just assumed it was for the scar...whoops! Lol... Good thing I have that scar away in my cart as well :) I already planned on getting a boppy pillow and was hoping that's what you were referring to, lol. You have been very helpful and I'll definitely message you if I have anymore questions, don't want to totally blow up your review with my never ending questions, lol!

Lol. It's all good. I don't mind, hopefully everyone else doesn't either because they receive a notification email too lol. But I'm defiantly will be following your journey!

Thanks! And yes I can stretch my arms above my head. I was able to since 2 weeks ago. About 4 weeks post op. Right after I took my stitches out myself. I think it was the stitches because as soon as I took them out, the wound closed. It was that it stood open and at one point it ripped. The stitches were always sticking out and never knew what to do. I contacted baez and she said to take them out. Literally a couple days later it closed!

Good thing it closed,kinda scary. I am a sissy but one time i had to pull stitches out and it freakin' hurt!!! I can't even explain the type of weird sensation pain i felt. I am glad all is well and your healing properly.

Did they provide with the arm garment?

Thanks. I purchased than on ebay, I bought too. One was $16 with tax and shipping. The other was $10 tax and shipping included. The cheaper one is the one I'm wearing in the pictures.

Them* Two**

Thank love, for responding,

Thanks sweetie

Thank you :)

Of course, will PM you right now.

Thank you ! Lol yeah it was a tough decision for me... Who are you leaning more towards?

I am leaning towards Almonte, but still not sure. I just want to make sure I am able to get everything I want in one round because I know I won't do round two. lol how much do you think I can get her to do?

Giiiiirl I hear you lol. I wanted 2 rounds but after going through round 1, I'm like nah chill! Lol but she can do lipo of the full back, flanks, waist, side tit...idk what's that called lol sorry and tummy tuck, with a breast augmentation with lipo of the thighs as well, or an addition area like chin ...that's what I did but instead of the breast I did my arms and I didn't do thigh lipo even though she actually wanted to, and she was willing to for free. To me that right there is the entire body pretty much lol. I know at first before Baez I actually wanted (I forgot her name) she's kinda popular as well and works in cecip...damn I forgot her name she's really light skinned but she had to divide the surgeries I wanted in 2. I said nope and went with Baez.

Really?! Gurl I want everything! Lipo on the chin?!

Yes! So what exactly do you want done?

I need to slip my soul and mind I to a new body! Lol seriously, I need TT BBL flanks and boobs arms and Lipo on my back and Brest augmentation (not sure if I want implants but I def need a lift). Sounds like too much?

Not at all!!!! sounds similar to what I did with a few alterations. Instead of breast, I did my arm. If Baez can do it, any other doctor should be able to, just depends on who you go to. A lot of them worry about the time spent and hemo and all that. My hemo in DR was 12.9 wasn't even a 13 some doctors advise to ATLEAST be a 13 to have something done. I was able to get it all with that. Surprisingly! So you should be good!

The arms aren't bad at all. They ached at first but not now. I was thinking I would be much more restricted but it's not bad. I will post pics once the doctor changes the dressing.

Oops I'm not sure if that question was for me or not?

Ok,thanks. I will stay tuned for arm pics Thanks

It's okay if it was or wasn't, we both can comment lol. Your results look great flat2fat. I'm one month post and still have swelling. They say it takes 3 months or so to see final results. It's been going by really fast, I know the first week it doesn't. My arms are better. The scar is closing up nicely. And there's very little pain, only when I took the stitches out because I'm stating to get feeling back, I have a little numbness only on my back and tt scar. Can't wait for 2 more months when I see final results!! Xoxo
