3 Months PO.. IT IS A LOT BETTER NOW....

Ok. Here it goes. I am 46 years old, 5’5 and as of today 213 pounds. I am a mother of 3 kids and the last one was a c-section and weighed 11.4 pounds the day she was born, so you can imagine how my belly looks like. I have been considering a tummy tuck for a few years now, but as soon as I started feeling a little bit scared, I gave up and said to myself that I can get my flat stomach back without surgery and a lot of exercise. (Or at least that’s what closed friends tells me all the time) So I stop my research and thought of something else, or I always make sure that everybody is covered and happy, leaving myself hanging. I have tried many many things to lose weight and get my body back, sometimes worked and sometimes was a waste of time and money. Last year during the month of December 2012, I decided that no more. At that time my weight was 235 the highest I have ever been without being pregnant. So on December 31st of 2012 I made the decision of taking care of myself and get ready for a new life. I have lost so far 22 pounds. My daughter in law told me about Dra. Yily and this website a few weeks ago, so I decided to give it a try. When I mentioned about getting the TT, my daughter told me why I don’t consider a mommy makeover to include BA and Lipo with TT, which is a great idea, but I would like to get a BBL with all the fat I have (LOL). A few years ago I did a consultation with the assistant of a doctor in Miami and she recommended me at that time to go below 200 in order to get the procedure. I know every person is different, but I have done quite some research and I have seen women getting their surgeries with a weight of more than 200 getting great results. Another thing that makes me hesitate at times is my job. I have a very demanding job and most of the vacation times are not allowed due to the magnitude of our responsibilities. So we can take vacations during Oct-Dec, because of the rest of the months is a rush to deliver our work. 

Hello ladies.. so I emailed Yily on Saturday May 4th and got her response back on Monday the 7th with all her instructions, details, do's and don'ts. You all Yilydolls should know what I mean. So I got my quote for $4,350 for TT, lipo on armpits. back, flanks, thighs and abdomen and BBL. At first I was looking forward to go on November, but because my daughter in law (DIL) is going in July, I decided to try and see if my boss would give me the time in July, which it's kind of prohibited.

I was very surprised to meet with my manager and get an ok from her almost immediately. She said, "yes as long as you leave after 4th of July. I need you here the first week of July." I couldn't believe she was telling me that. So I jumped and started filling paperwork to get the formal approval and started looking for flights to see how much would be. When I did this exercise for November, flights were cheaper, for July... ??? forget it.. LOL

So I thank Yily for her prompt response and asked her for July 10th and also asked her if because I was going with my DIL if we would get a discount. My daughter in law also emailed her with the same question. I have not received a response yet, but she emailed my DIL and told her that she was no longer giving discounts that it was just for a limited time. She also said that July 10 was still opened. So tomorrow I am running to make the deposit to make sure I get my date with my DIL.

Until later...

Geezz.. I've been spending hours looking for flights and they are all so expensive that is ridiculous. If I check for 1 stop, one flight takes me to ATL to then bring me back down to DR passing on top of FL. LOL Crazy, right? Then there are others that go all the way to Panama, to then bring me back. We are talking here about 7-10 hours flying and I am worried about when it is time to come back.

A friend of mine, who travels a lot told me that the best time to look for flights is after midnight and between 3 AM. I guess I will have to stay up one night to see what I can find.

On another line... I do not understand why people cannot be happy about the decisions you make about your body and about doing things that will make you happy. I do not have many friends, or at least I can say that I am very selective when it comes to that. When I was very young, I went through a lot with the "supposed" best friends I thought I had. There was always "jealous" in between us all. But anyways, due to past experience, and after I grew up 30+ I can count the amount of good friends with one hand.

So I came to FL 10 years ago and I met this lady when I went to work to this organization. Since then, we have been always very closed. After 3 years of friendship, one day she stopped talking to me without me knowing why. I changed jobs and later I was promoted, ironically, she became my employee. I supervised her and others for more than 5 years. During that time I encouraged her to go back to school and earn her bachelors, when she finished I also encouraged her to get her masters.. which in a few months she will finishing her masters in Finance (Yay for her). Under my supervision, an opening came up in another department and it was a great opportunity for her to get promoted with a lot more $$$. She didnt want to apply, but I told her that she needed to, otherwise I would never speak to her again because she was under estimating herself.

Ohh well she did, and got the promotion. Interestingly she was the only person who applied. A few months later, another opening in that department came up and I applied and got it. Now we are co-workers, which is nice for me. I dont have the pressure of debating between friendship and employee. After all these years I really though we were good friends, besides me being her supervisor. For years I've been telling her about my desire of getting transformed, at least I always talked about TT and she used to say, I would like to do the same.

A few months ago, she came to my office telling me about this website that do laserlipo and it is about $1,250 per area, but you need to schedule 3 or more areas. I looked at the website but was not interested. I always wanted a real sx TT and lipo. I encouraged to go for it if she thought it was best for her.

On Monday I told her about my decision of getting my transformation done. Finally. As of today, 3 days later I've been asking myself WHY IN THE WORLD SHE GOT SO MAD AND TURNED HER FACE ON ME (SHE LOOKED CONSTIPATED) when I told her about what I was going to do. I only had the change of saying TT when her face changed and looked at me very mad. So I didnt have the change of telling BBL and Lipo, etc. LOL

Why there is people like that? It is not her time, it is not her money, it is not her body, it is not her.. why she is getting mad about me doing something for myself to feel better and be happy. I just dont understand people.. and mostly, this is one of the reasons as to why I dont have tooooo manyyy friendsssssssssssssssssss. :(
