Changed my mind from Lipo- the recent deaths from fellow nurses scared the crap out of me. My fiancé thinks it was a sign that I was relayed info about the recent deaths from Lipo , eerily the same reasons why I'm getting mine.

Dr Henao couldn't reasonable answer questions on how he would prevent PE or Fat emboli just sent me pre-op instructions , I think I rather lose the weight and get lipoed later.

A fellow nurse convinced me she had the sleeve done in November and she looks amazing!!

So here I go again with research , my fiancé says he's way more comfortable with this procedure and I already been to Tijuana so????????
