update
oh my goodness. I can't stop staring at myself. Is that really me in the mirror? Is that girl with the tiny little tummy, adorable little belly button, curvy hips and gorgeous boobs really me? I have wanted this for so long, and I really was excited and a little afraid that I'd be disappointed with the results. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
Lesson learned. It is expensive..yes. And you can find less expensive options...yes....but.....
DONT! Pick a surgeon that you connect with, pick a surgeon who takes pride with each and every patient. For example, as part of my procedure , he recommended some lipo of my hi[s and armpits so that i would have a nice shape. However, when I woke up and started to recover I noticed pain in my inner thigh and at the tops of my legs. While i was on the table, the doctor noticed some fat pockets and realized that he would greatly improve my result with some additional lipo...no extra charge. This doctors main concern was a beautiful result. And not just for me, but I believe because he really takes pride in his work.
For any of you who are are afraid of the results or the pain, or both. If you are worried if it will be worth the cost...I'd like to reassure you. I've never been so happy in my live. I have never looked or felt so beautiful in my whole life. I cry when I look at myself. I am so grateful. I have been reborn! It's worth it...I'm glad to share more details with anyone interested. Life is great!!!!

Sorry for the short response but I'm stlll really drugged up and its really hard to type.....I am seeing double of everything...hahahaha
