Circumferential TT, BA, Lipo, Hernia and Muscle Repair - Dr. Carmina Cardenas
I have been wanting a breast augmentation ever...
I have been wanting a breast augmentation ever since I was 15. I had my son at age 22 and six years after I have decided it is time to get both. I had a huge pregnant belly and was left with tons of stretch marks so for about 5 years now, I've known I needed a tummy tuck. I have been very patiently waiting. I just started looking at doctors and getting serious about it for 2 weeks. I know not much but I am ready. I booked an apointment last week with Dr. Buenrostro and got a quote for both. I was gonna go for lab exams today and get surgery done April 3 but I came across bad reviews. That is when thanks to Make me heal and Real Self I came across Dr. Cardenas and decided to schedule and appointment by phone and I mailed them too. I got an instant reply by mail asking for my pictures. I booked an appointment for this next saturday anyway. I am very excited and waiting for my appointment date. I hope I can get a date in April.
Thank you all ladies for all your stories, I almost chickened out.

Im so sorry for not updating before but I have...
I will be putting up before after pictures. I will definitely get the surgery.
Went to see Dr. Cardenas 2 Saturdays ago. Everything went well with the consultation. By mail I was told I might not be able to get the TT and the BA at the same time which totally had me upset, but at the consultation I was given green. I only have to pump my red blood cells level and score a 13.
Doctor asked me to drink alot of water, to walk 45 minutes a day atleast 3 times a week, iron pills along with fresh orange juice twice a day, to eat healthy, and tons of iron food (spinach, swiss chard, lentils, beans, beets, etc.)
I was asked to buy body lotion (Keri or Lubriderm for super dry skin) and put it all over my body twice a day. So I am doing all this.
My surgery date so far is April 23! Im sure I will be nervous as hell. Communication so far is fantastic.
I got priced 8,500 for both, including one night stay, medicine, and the faja (sorry dont know the word in english :/)
Before with Buenrostro he included a 4 night stay in his super nice clinic, but oh well. Those reviews killed it.
I think it's all for now :)

I think about it and it kind of makes me nervous...
though... I don't know if I should stay at a recovery home after the surgery, 1 day at the clinic sounds like so little to me for the surgery. The one thing I loved about Buenrostro was that he offered 5 nights and four days at his clinic included in his quote. Any input? I think coming home straight away is too much for me and I want to be safe.
