Hi I am half dominican and middle eastern . I Use to have the body but after my first child 5 years ago and almost 150 lbs gain , it's not the same. At the moment I am in a toxic relationship that I am looking forward to get out of. I am ridiculed everyday on my body. I don't plan in having children anymore, I am focused more now in advancing my career and taking care of my daughter. I have top surgeons I am interested in including Dra. Duran , dr. Cabral, dra. Yily and dra. Baez. My favorite has been Dra. Duran

yes they are..also Doctors have a regulation now they wont perform surgery if your BMI is 35 wgich is Morbidly Obesity, due to complications to the patient in the event they have to put a breathing tube down your Esophagus tubes it can be risky. Also Thrombosis can occur during surgery. So weight is a big problem when contemplating surgery.

I'm sorry to hear you're in a tough spot- You are courageous to take things into your own hands and give that jerk something to regret. I am going to Yily soon, although having some communication issues, maybe I should let you know, hopefully you won't have the same. Gave my $300 deposit and they received it but wouldn't confirm my date and tell me no details will be discussed until we're in person. Dr. Fisher down in Miami offered a $5200 deal ($6k reg) if you put down $1k deposit. I still think Yily's the jam though.

Hello, I just wanted to tell you that I was in the same type of relationship and I am glad I have taken myself out of the situation, however I did not have any children while married. I have had a BBL in DR (my husband was from Santo Domingo) so that had a major factor in why I chose Republica Dominicana. I have done a lot of reading and as exciting as it is make sure you go into surgery healthy and have a physical by your doctor before your surgery. A lot of women have to have blood transfusions after. I stayed in a recovery home and one of the women there had to get a blood transfusion she had lost too much blood but also she was in her 40's I think age is a big factor. She had her surgery done by Yily and they were about to deny her a blood transfusion because she didn't have enough cash on her for the transfusion. I had a great surgeon he's super experienced but he did not give me the results I was looking for. Please do your research it sucks when you have a bad recovery, and it sucks when you don't get your dream results. Good luck with your search. If you have any questions feel free to ask me.

Be encouraged.. I went through the same thing after an 80 pound weight loss following gastric bypass. A friend once told Mr when you get tired of being TIRED you will find strength from within to do what's best for you.

no problem sister...I notice because i looked at some og the ladies quotes..my take was that the slimmer you are the quote is less..and the heavier set quotes are higher..and just through reviews ladies have expressed this also. Make sure when you email her (not your current weight..however your prospective weight with your images of front, back, and sides.. any questions feel free to ask. take care...

Hello beaut do u have an instagram page for your journey?
January 19, 2015
What kind of corset did get and where did you get it from? Thanks in advance
January 19, 2015
I got mine from true corset . There are the lacing ones, not the pins.
January 20, 2015
Thanks for the information! I love how it looks on you and I think that it should work great on me as well. How did u manage to pick your size. I believe we should wear about the same based on the stats that you just provided. Can u tell me what size did u order?
January 20, 2015
My waist size is 35 . I ordered a 28inch from Amazon. I can't remember where I saw on a website ... But I researched a lot before buying it. It's called tightlacing and helps you achieve a smaller waist by tightening the corset daily. Mines is called Playgirl by True Corset.
January 20, 2015
Thanks again! And good luck with everything. Im also trying to lose weight before I have my xs. It's not easy, specially if you have hormone problems like I do. But the fight isn't impossible so.we will get there

Hi! I was able to find it with your instructions but I do have one more question. I saw another one just like yours same company only difference is that one is longer than the other one I'm 5'5 with short torso so I figure I would get the short one but then I have a pouch on my lower belly area so im thinking since it's short it won't cover that area so my lower tummy pouch is going to look really bulgy. Does that make sense? I believe you said you are 5'6 did you get the long one or short? How does it affect your lower belly are went you're tucked in? As far as I can see from your pics top and waist looks great. Thanks again and sorry to keep bugging you :)

Lol. I has the same problem. Its calles Tummy Ooze. Get a long lined corset . Before tightening up your corset, pull down on it and make sure that the waist of the corset is sitting at your skeletal waist (the squishy bit under your ribs, and above your iliac crest) instead of your “apparent” waist (which is the smallest part of your waist – this may appear higher up on the ribs especially on people who carry a bit more weight around the middle). Once your corset is positioned correctly, start tightening your corset a little bit. Stop halfway through and put one hand down into your corset (under the front of your corset, so your hand/arm is between the corset and you). With that hand, pull up on the skin of your abdomen while with your other hand pull down on the bottom edge of your corset. Since your corset is half-tightened, then the mild tension of the corset should keep your belly in place while you finish tightening up. I follow Lucy on Youtube and she has a website too. Watch how to do it here : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=40rjz-rGtS0

DAY ONE OF TRAINING

Why wait for a new year to start eating healthy, when you can have Mondays! I'm looking forward now to begin eating healthy and changing the direction of my life. It's more of an emotional when you look towards plastic surgery to change your appearance instead of taking care of your actual needs. Early in my post I said I had a toxic relationship... I did. But the thing with women is that we always say one side, and not the other. I'm in an almost 7 year relationship with my first boyfriend that I had a child with and began to become distant in my relationship. Not taking care of my man or my home, whom really did nothing wrong, I just needed that affection again and hearing that I was beautiful from someone else. So he started to sense our relationship take a drastic toll, while my time was being spent on googling plastic surgery and irrelevant tasks... All along I have someone at home who loves me for the way I am! And I realized I have to learn to love myself . And after I began to give love to myself and into my relationship again, things seem to be back to normal. So I'm sorry if I haven't responded to the so many supporting messages; but I'm fixing what I broke. :-) tommorrow he starts college! I helped him graduate high school and it's amazing to see how much he has grown. But today starts day one in eating healthy. It's 8pm now so I'll be preparing my daughter for bed. She has broken her sleeping habit and sleeps late (up waiting for dad to come from work around midnight) , then falls asleep in class and grades are failing :( so I'm focusing myself in being a mom and try to take her mind away from "dad's not home" and maybe try reading books etc etc. it's hard raising a 5 year d and juggling what life throws at you at 23 and have a somewhat husband (we're not married). But I love the support you all give here. There's definitely a sense of home on his website. I'm packing up some lunch for work tomorrow (egg salad on whole wheat, steamed broccoli , and Mozzetrlaa cheese) . Day one I will be trying black coffe no sugar to try to take the sugar craving away from my body! Wish me luck, talk to you soon :-)
