I've been pretty much obsessed with complete a mommy makeover, and after over 4 years of going back and forth with researching drs, stalking RealSelf and procrastinating I officially set a date! Dec. 2015 I sent a deposit to Spectrum for the BBL procedure n today I finally went ahead and set a date..... 12/1/16 will be the day I start my journey of transformation from oversized wife and mother of 4 to A More Confident Women who happens to be married and has 4 beautiful Children!

No, I wasn't required to lose any weight, but he let me know that I have more than 4 liters of fat, so he wouldn't be able to get me slim slim... So, my suggestion is to loose another good 10lbs if u can so u can have super doper results! I wish I would have... I'm still happy with my results so far eitherway... I am solo happy already!!!
Good luck to u hunni.. I'm gonna follow our progress also. :)

I am so Excited to get my bbl Dec. 1st with Dr. Alverez, but I can't help but still feel a bit down that I can't go to the DR to Dr. Mallol so I could be snatched in a "one n done" full mommy makeover type of healing situation. If Dr. Mallol accepted payments before sugery I would most likely been on my way, but with bills n babies I have sooo much trouble saving so I know that it would be another 4 years before I would have that type of spare cash in a lump so it is what it is... I am equally impressed with both drs. work so I am sure I am in good hands eitherway, so I will continue making these payments.. Then back in a few months for the tt, breast lift!Miami here I come!

How long did it take you to get set up to talk to someone or even to schedule your surgery?

I contacted them through realself and spoke with someone within 48hrs, they got back with me pretty promptly and at that point I made the initial deposit to lock in the price. Then when I was ready to schedule, I called and left messages for awhile, finally the coordinator contacted me back n I paid the other $200 to lock in the date.

Ok. I did speak with the coordinator finally yesterday and she was to get back to me and never called back. I will inquire into another surgeon. Thanks for your reply

Got my Labs done, n clearance from PCP is scheduled for 11/8!! Sent another per payment, n I am nervous yet I'm Soooo Excited to become a Doll if Dr. Alverez. The work I've seen of his is amazing... I'm really getting extremely sad about being away from my babies for 7 days.... It's time mommy did something a bit selfish to make herself happy for once in my life.
But do u guys think I can leave earlier than 6 days post? I never been away from them for more than one weekend (literally ONE)
