WORTH IT
..So here goes my first time for blogging Hahah I received a quote from Dr Duran fairly quickly within about 2-3 weeks and its definitely reasonable.. Id like to think im like the typical person that jumps on the bandwagon with everyone so im super scared of what can happen when you fly to a third world country for surgery. I called the office today to try to talk with Dr.Durans assistant im Hispanic and speak Spanish and English fluently, the person that answered the phone interrupted me while talking and transferred me to Dr.Durans assistants line and the phone just rang and rang.. So I will try later.. Im not surprised with the lack of communication bc I read that they are busy.. Im trying to see what the next step is in getting a date within the next 6 months.. Im so scared of dying over a vain procedure but I also want my body back . Anyone feel this way? Ugh I know so lame.. Anyways I guess this is all for my first post..

I'm surprise you even got a quote. Many people give up after trying and trying. I got a quote but after calling trying to arrange a date and other things, the phone would just ring or someone would pick up and hang up. So I just said the hell with it.

Yeah some people may think this process is just about vanity but I see it as a confidence booster. I have all the confidence (not cockiness)in the world and a brain that is so knowledgeable my bff calls me a library lol. With all that being said I date below me because of body issues. I have had men if all colors approach me some who are contractors, small business owners who try to date me but I say no because This MFing body. This surgery is not to become a [RS bleep] or wild lady(not loose now so y change). My next journey is a husband lol. Im looking at 8 doctors so far and the closer I get I will post pic with clothes on and off. I love my shape but I just need to be filled up lol. I see this as an investment in me and I know that I will get a return on my investment.

I absolutely agree , same here , my body looks great with clothes on BUT looks can be deceiving .. I need this for myself and confidence as well ..My sex life has struggled tremendously bc I can't accept this body and feel shame ..So trust me I'm there with you ! For me it's an investment on so many levels !

Say it and say it proud. I know that's right. That's how I'm looking at it also, I'm investing in ME!. I'm very self-conscious of my body. I'm educated, work in a professional capacity, but I've been dating below and not fully enjoying my life. Being more confident will improve my quality of life and I need a baller.

Definitely not lame, serious scary issues. I believe most of us have done extensive research before making the decision, I know I have. I have family who have personally made this journey and although nervous for them, their outcome were AWESOME. OMG, if only we could easily get our body's back..LOL I think we are all scared and nervous, but these blogs allow us to be more comfortable as we follow other sista's on their journey. GOOD LUCK!!!!!

It will just make sure you ant drinking alcohol or on any drug that can mess up the surgery. Many do not say they have drinked liquidor or used a medication or drug one day before surgery. That gives complications the day of the procedure and then doctor get blamed. Yes in many cases it just happens but I read reviews were the doctor does everything to get things done right.

So I know I've always had sort of a booty naturally but I really want a rounder fuller booty, and mainly a tummy tuck . I have my tubes tied , 3 kids , ready for the next chapter .. I've had 2 c sections and I feel like a tummy tuck can only give me the desired look I want . DR Durans work is gorgeous ! So weird telling strangers so much lol !
