So, I guess I need to start one of these blog...

So, I guess I need to start one of these blog things lol. I just booked my surgery in the DR with Dr. Fatima Almonte based on two friends going to her and looking GREAT! I have heard nothing but very positive things, and I NEED nothing less than "all good feedback" if I'm going to a different country to get surgery. I've had previous lipo in the USA, on my mid back rolls, upper back, flanks/love handles, bra roll, and on the back of my thighs. I've also had my breasts done, which I chose 800CC silicone gummy bear implants. In regards to the lipo, the dr did a good job, but I wanted more dramatic results. They are so conservative here with fat removal. I feel like Dominican Doctors dive into the swimming pool there American Doctors just get their feet wet lol. Just an analogy for y'all. I am already very hippy, with a big fat butt lol but I want it bigger! I'm getting lipo of the full back, full stomach, waist, flanks, arms, and inner/outer thighs, BBL, and a tummy tuck. I am, however, reconsidering the arm lipo and inner thigh lipo, as I'm concerned about loose skin. I've been working out with a personal trainer 3 times a week but I'm still concerned my arms won't be toned up enough in time. But I also don't want fat ass arms with a tiny middle since my waist to hip ratio is already pretty dramatic. Anyways, I'm going to upload some pics of me before and let me know what y'all think :-) I got my hemo level last Friday and it was 13.2 so I'm already surgery eligible :-) that made me happy because I've been anemic in the past. I have to get these vitamins kick started! The results I'm looking to achieve are a tiny tiny waist with thick thighs and hips. I want a big ol Kim Kardashian booty or like those video vixens! I just want it BIG! Lol

As promised... :-)
So a quick update: yesterday I received the confirmation for my surgery date from Lesley. I'm sooooo excited!!!! It stated that I need to start taking Folic acid, iron tablets, and vitamin C twice a day to prepare my body for surgery. I had my bf go out and buy all of those vitamins right now so I figure 2 months is plenty of time to get myself right. Especially since my hemo level is already at an ok level. Yay!!! She also said that insurance is now mandatory to have.... It's an extra $150, but uhhhh... I already have insurance. DOUBLE COVERAGE. So I'm curious what's up with that?! I haven't received a response yet but will let you all know as soon as she responds. Also, if you have your flights, you need to forward a copy of your itinerary when you get them. :-)

good luck with everything where did you get the lipo and the implants

August 21, 2014
In Beverly Hills, CA. Girl I spent sooooo much money! I was, however, 100% happy with my results! I just think Dominican doctors shape people better and they provide more of what I'm looking for.

I'm with you I had smart lipo with fat transfer and it did nothing but mess me up I'm considering going to DR for my second time I'm just a little scared lol. Btw you already look amazing I jelly of your body. Unfortunately my body is shaped a little weird so even if I had hella work done id never have the results I'd like

August 21, 2014
Awww! You gotta start somewhere babe! You just gotta keep going until you achieve the results you want! I do NOT mean only with surgery. I mean, working out, eating healthy, etc... You can and will get there! I just hired a personal trainer and omg it's SOOO different than anything I've ever experienced in the gym before. You should look into one! Ty so much for the compliments though :-)! Ok so wth is smart lipo? I thought that was like laser or not surgery at all? How was that!!? And why did you choose to have that done over regular liposuction?

August 21, 2014
I don't think your body is shaped weird. And I don't think you wouldn't be able to get what you're looking for! Dude.... You're working with something! You look cool right now! If you want more curves, you'd just have to get some aggressive lipo in your waist and back and possibly some fat injected into your hips and butt. You look GOOD tho! I like your legs and butt! I need to go read about why you got a revision instead of making you repeat yourself. Brb

It was honestly just the price and to be honest I loved the way I looked after lol but once I started gaining weight is when everything went bad even though the surgery wasn't the best I still felt like a million bucks and you're right maybe if I lost the weight with what I'm working with now I'd feel like that again. Sorry sometimes we need to hear nice things from someone else LOL super corny but true

August 21, 2014
You don't even look big though or overweight wth?! How much weight did you gain back? Lol in MY situation, I get TONNNS of attention sometimes too much and very unwanted, and every single time I tell people I'm obese. Smh! Which I AM!! That stupid bmi thing is real life... :-/ TELLIN me I should be like 135 lbs or somethin. Uhhhh that will NEVER happen lol. And yeah, after my surgeries, I gained weight back too and it went to my arms and upper tummy! Not much but it was still super weird AND annoying !
August 21, 2014
After I healed from lipo I was 110 lbs I'm only 4'11 so every single pound counts lol I'm now 135 so I may look ok but like you said the bmi thing I'm obese too ugh the struggle lol my arms bug me the most tho they're big but I have big muscles no jiggle lol so manly lol


August 22, 2014
Awww! You will get there babe. I still think you look good. Real talk. Any idea what made you gain all the weight? Alcohol is my weakness lol

August 22, 2014
Birth control was the devil LOL no but seriously that's how I started gaining weight since I wasn't getting a period my doctor put me on Depo shot and that's what happened and because it made me so hungry even after I ate wouldn't feel satisfied so I did it to myself really I just couldn't get control of my eating but I'm off it now and I did lose weight so maybe everything will go back to normal. Hen and coke is my weakness I try to drink Henny straight and I can't lmao ill end up a ratchet mess LMAO

August 22, 2014

Partying
Dude :-(( I party toooooo much. Which means I consume entirely TOO much alcohol! I have to stop because it makes me gain weight Sooo quickly! I need to find something positive to do with my time :-/ Another thing I have to do is stop taking my adderall 20 days before surgery which is instructed specifically by the anesthesiologist. I thought that was WEIRD because with all of my other surgeries under GENERAL anesthesia, I even took my adderall up to the day before surgery. I feel like dysfunctional if I don't take it, so I know I'm going to REALLY struggle with that. Does anyone else take adderall or have heard of this being an issue?! Also, here are some wish pics.

I take 20mg of adderall daily. For the surgery I had oct 2013 and the one I'm having aug 27 2014, all they said was not to take it the day of the surgery. Prob just some anesthesiologist who has something against the use of adderall. I've met couple other types of Doctors that had weird hang ups about it.
Best of luck with ur surgery!!

August 21, 2014
Thank you for the support darling!! Yes, I take 30 mg a day and thought it was just straight up odd that I have to stop it 20 days prior. In DR, they use an epidural block with dormicum, so maybe the adderall affects it? IDK, but you'd think their anesthesia administration method is MUCH less risky than taking adderall with general. Where are you getting your surgery? And where did you get it last year? Same dr?

August 21, 2014
