Hello ladies!!! My names Vanessa and im 27 yo I'm a mother of 3 beautiful children! Ages 8,7 and 2 year old! This will be my second time getting plastic surgery done. (Gasp!) I had a tummy tuck and Lipo to my flanks about 2 years ago. I chose a horrible horrible Doctor, I cannot even describe the amount of horror that went on within this recovery of my surgery. You can check out my other reviews if you'd like. Anywho on to the now! So I decided with the famous Dr Pantoja. After stalking him for almost 2 years, when I made the decision to do more work on myself he would be the one no questions asked.

After my tummy tuck, even tho left with a scar that looks as if I'd been chopped in half by a chain saw and sewed back together I still had a banging body. I rocked it! But some where this past year I fell into a bit of a comfort spot, depression whatever you will call it and I gained 30 pounds ???? So with that much weight gain it just made my body look awkward.

So I'm stoked to get my body back!

And improve it even more! Cheers to team Pantoja!

Whaaaa?! Lol that's super exciting! Where are you currently located? What time is your appointment and are you staying at a recover house out there? I have a feeling we will be good friends lol
January 28, 2016
Lol they didn't give me a time just told me to be there at 9 so they could get my vitals and stuff. ..I'm in fontana I'm actually staying at my in laws since she lives like 10 mins away from Dr office
January 28, 2016
I'm in Rancho! What a small world! Yeah they told me to be there at 9 as well. That's cool that you have family out there. I'm not sure if I'm gonna stay at a recovery house or come home the next day. Still have a lot of planning to do.

I'm in Fontana to when's ur date
January 28, 2016
Yeah I'm in Rancho not too far at all. My surgery date is March 15th and he quoted me 5800 for the full body Lipo, BBL and BL with implants. But if I do it separate it's 3,800 each and I'll have to come back in 6 months or more to do the second surgery. This is I'd have to request time off work plus travel cost. So I'm not sure what to do just yet.

But lately I can't seem to stay away from real self and all of Dr Pantojas work! I still can't believe I've scheduled the date for my surgery! It seems unreal. My mom wants me to do separate surgerys, but it's pretty much double in price to do my BL at another date. I don't know what to do. I had a tough recover with my TT so I'm sure she's just concerned, just as I am too.
Plus how will I sleep, I'm not supposed to put pressure on my butt and I'm not supposed lay on my breast if I get them done. So how am I supposed to sleep?
What do you think ladies? Should I do see rate rounds? Cost is a big part not including time off work, transportation, after care and care for my kids. Seems like all at once is what I should do but in the same sense my Heath is the #1 thing.

*Sigh*
What to do....

I'm also having second thoughts on getting the bbl and ba at once - dr P said I would sleep on my back . The recovery for breast ain't that bad . And I've been told by girls that have been through both surgeries that when the doctor is very skilled, your good to sleep on your back the first couple of days . Once your breast are better . You can sleep on your sides . I'm thinking of making my own bbl pillow by cutting a hole off a large sponge that I can sit on

I've decided on just going with the BBL and then scheduling my BL 6 months after surgery. I asked Nadia there and she said it is highly recommended for better results and that its safer to do it that way. Honestly if you think how much work your body has to heal, so I'd rather my body focus on getting all the extra fluid and swelling to go down.

I ordered my passport

Hopefully hopeful
Last Thursday I went in and got my passport card so I can travel over the boarder. Surgery is just about 5 weeks away, they said expedited would take about 3-4 weeks to come in. My mom however got really sick when I went in to order my passport she was supposed to get hers that day too. Kinda worried she won't get hers in time since we can't order it until this Wednesday now. Hoping it gets here quick otherwise I'm SOL.

Anyways I'm looking to buy some vitamins to start taking for better healing. Any recommendations?
