Speaker 1 (00:09):
What's a professional Homegirls is shagarl Ebine here and I
hope all it's cute. Okay, now we are back with
an oldie but goodie, and this episode, y'all, I actually.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Recorded in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
This is actually one of my very first episodes and
we're also one of my favorites because you know, one
thing I love about me and my guests we be
key king. And with this guest, it's so funny because
she remembers stating how she vividly remember when everybody started
popping up with asses, especially in atl And. I was like, yo,
me too, Like I remember looking around, I'm like, damn,
everybody got a fat ass. And now six years later,
(00:46):
if you notice, everybody got a little ass.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It's just so funny. But that's another conversation.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
This episode also takes me back to my early days
the podcast, when I would spend days and hours and
months just non stop researcher and DM and potential guests
non stop until I got a yes. And I know
some of my guess were probably like, yo, this bitch
is mad annoying. And it's so funny because I also
remember reaching out to a lady who was actually doing
(01:12):
illegal ass shots, trying to get her on the show,
but she kept curving me, which I totally get because
you know this is not something to play with when
it comes to your freedom. But maybe I'll try her
again now since we can actually alter the voices on
the show. But beyond the laughs and the key king in,
this conversation was so good. My guests kept it one
hundred about her insecurities and also broke down the symptoms
(01:34):
she endured when she realized something wasn't right the details itself,
because I could not imagine going from I believe she
went from her side six to a side sixteen and
she was stating how like her ass was high, she
had a crazy infection and like nobody knew what was
going on until I think she went to the doctor's
office and the nurse was Colombian and she was like, girls,
(01:55):
the ass shots. But you were here once you hear
the episode because it was insane. So if you are
considering getting silicone injections, especially the illegal kind, we don't judge,
but girl, you can go get the real kind. Put
it on Clara, was it Clarina after payment? This episode
is for you, so get ready and let's dive in
because I had my silicone injections removed. Stars. Now, what
(02:21):
was your body type like before?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Ooh, I was I'll say, like a size three one three,
three four and no hips, no, but very tiny and
just have boobs mh.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
So would you go ahead now.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Like a boyish type count disorder?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
So were you in like a little insecure about your body?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
You know what? I didn't know that I was insecure
because I had been on that size for so long
and then it was weird like later on then everybody,
you know, some people would be like, you're so cute,
you know, because I had my short hair and a
little body, and it's like, but you don't have no butt,
you know, so they're it's like, oh, you start thinking
(03:08):
about that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
So what made you find the side to get the
silicone injections.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I ended up getting the silicone injections because I wanted
to be more curvy m and just kind of really
to to match the booths m you know, because it
was kind of like off balance to me. So that's
why I ended up wanting it to get it.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Now that somebody put you onto the to a certain
place or it was a person that was doing it.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It was a person that was doing it. I was
in the actually Atlanta working and I was talking to
my friends and I'm like, it's so weird to me
how it seems like everybody in Atlanta is that what
a butt? Yeah? Is this possible? What is happening?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Like I remember that era because I remember I'm like, yo,
what everybody gotta ask like where this comes from?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Exactly exactly? So I was and they just happened to say, oh,
I know the person, and I'm like you do, Like,
oh my god, like for real. And I was like,
can I get it? You know what what is? And
you know, they told me silicon injections. So I was like, okay,
I wasn't you know at the time, you were not
thinking about health. You're just like, oh my god, I
can get balanced out. I can be curby, like you know,
(04:19):
like really feel like a girl, you know, right. And
I was like, oh, can I get it? And I
talked to the person and I was like, ooh, I
can come back in two weeks.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah, you know, it's so funny. I have a homegirl
I know who got it done. And I was just
like wow, like a lot of people were doing it
at that time.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I was done seven Wow.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
So the shots worried legal Oh yeah, well yeah, But
like you said, I think a lot of people didn't
realize because who care about their health when they're trying
to look good, especially when you see everybody else doing
it and you didn't hear anything about it.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
You didn't hear anything about it, and you didn't I
didn't know. I didn't even think about it, right.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
So walk up the day when you first got your
first silicone injection.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
It was so weird because I was so excited. I
was so pumped up that they was just like, oh
my god, you got to calm down. Like I was
so amped up, like, oh my god, I'm about to
have a shape like I have when I said I
had no but like none. So I was just like,
oh my god, oh my god. Go and they was like, oh,
you got to calm down. So they made me smoke
some weed and I don't smoke, so it was like
(05:30):
mellow me out because I was so amped up. And
when I got it, I was like looking and I
was like, oh oh my god. They was like, can
you be still? But I was like, couldn't believe it
was blowing up like a balloon, you know, and it.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Was just like, oh my god, wait, so what was
the procedure because I know it is because I was
there when somebody got done, so they was it somebody
house or yeah, well it.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Was at somebody's house. And then it was just like literally,
like you know, they were very clean, you know, very
alcohol rubber gloves, like everything clean and insanitary. But it
was just like you just get injection, you know what
I mean. It's just like a needle with the silicone
in it. It was looked like water and when you
(06:16):
see it, and then it just was blowing up like
a balloon. And they was just doing it like in
a pattern. Oh wow, to like blow it, you know,
to blow it up your butt up to make a
shape basically.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
So when you were seeing this happen, it was like
your immediate response.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I was pumped. It was like can you be steel?
But I was so excited. It was just like, you know,
I get really amped up when I know I'm about
to do something. So it was just trying to calm
me down from excitement. And then afterwards they finished and
they just had me kind of blean forward and they
just kind of like duct tape they put it was
(06:53):
like saran wrap, and then they duct tape around for
like the shape.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Go ahead ahead.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I'm trying that thing. You couldn't sit on it for
like eight hours if I remember correctly. And then you
get in a hot tub of water, like a hot
hot bath and you do it like too, you know,
letty cool off rents, you know, rents run it again
for like two or three times, and then that was it,
and it was like magic. It was like, oh my god,
I got a shape. I didn't realize. Oh my god,
(07:25):
you know, how.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Did it feel?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
It felt like regular, like like regular, but it wasn't hard.
It was just like.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Jelly, like yeah, I know, you was filling it.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Oh my god. I was like, oh, this is great.
But you know what, because I was so small the
first time that I got it done, it was like
a normal size like not it was it was it
wasn't big, but it was like something there, you.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Know what I mean. I was going to ask you
how many times afterwards did you? Did you receive their injections?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I got my but done twice and then I was
so thin I ended up getting hips too.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Oh wow. And it was the Hills, the same procedure
as the butt mm hmm, same thing. And was this
is it expensive?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I guess it depends on a person who's doing it.
I mean it ranges from maybe, I guess, depending on
how much, maybe five hundred to two thousand. I think
that's what the price.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Oh wow, it just depends. So when I was looking
at their pictures because I like to go through my
guest pictures just to get a feel who they are,
and like, you know, just to prepare myself for the interview.
And I mean, you are a beautiful woman. They're very talented.
But I can tell the difference in your confidence when
you after you receive the shots because you're not women.
(08:49):
You know how us women are really just do certain things.
But we're feeling very confident, right, So how did it
feel to receive the attention that you were getting at
that time? Because I could only imagine you was getting
like a lot of.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
It was weird. It took a while, an adjustment period
for a long time, like what are they looking at?
You know, it was like that kind of thing, and
then you remember, oh I got a butt, Oh I
got a shape, I look cute.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
It was like that kind of Now you're.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Taking a lot of bus shots too. I'm like, all right, yeah,
it was like I look cute.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Okay, but then you know, so it's like and then
after a while it was just like okay, and nobody's deal.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Right, It's like getting a Christmas gift, Christmas gift and
you be all ecstatic about it. Then after you time
go past, you'll be like, oh, I played with that later.
It was like one of those type bes.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Now, I know you also deal with a lot of
high profile clients and you work in a certain type
of industry. Do you think they played the part in it?
Plus the fact that you always felt like you had
a boyish figure?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
What you mean?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Now, I know you deal with a lot of celebrities,
and I know sometimes, like especially if it's something that
you think that you don't have and you see other
people with it, it kind of like heighten it even
more because you're seeing it so much.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
No, I don't think it was that. I don't think
it was a celebrity aspect of it. It was I
think because I was you know, I had a lot
of friends in Atlanta, so it was like I was
there a lot, right, so I just think because it
was just that's all you were seeing. It's kind of like, oh,
this is the normal, right, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
So how long was it before you start to feel
the pain?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Well, probably around two I was, you know, probably around
two thousand, let's see fourteen, maybe twelve, fourteen, ten, No,
twenty ten, I started having.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Like six years. Wow.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Well, but I didn't know that's what it was. You know,
nobody knew, you know. So it was like I would
have sensations to like cold or you know how if
you lean against some metal rail and it's cold, I
would have like this weird sensation that would happen, and
I was like, ooh, that's weird. I can't sit on
(11:03):
nothing metal, okay, And then they just don't think about
it no more. And then oh wow, time passed, and
I say, like twenty twelve, I started having like like
it would get itch real itchy. It would get like red,
it'd turn like red spots, and then it would go away.
(11:25):
I started having legs swellings and stuff. So then I
went to the doctor and they thought I had an
autoimmune disease. So that was going on for like maybe
four years.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
And then before I first I had my first swelling.
It's crazy because the Black doctors had came on our
show on the rear and I had asked them because
I was like kind of over it. So it was
one of those like how can I get this out?
You know what I mean? Like I was kind of
over the butt. So then they were like, oh, you
know you have silicon. I was yea, and they was like, oh,
(12:00):
you can't take it out. That's something that's perfont No
doctor take it out. So you kind of just stuck
with it. So I was just like dang. So then
maybe a month or two later, I had a first
leg swellings, but didn't know what it was, so that.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
You never thought that it was your bun. I mean,
who would who would have thrown it right?
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Never thought it because I've had it so long that
it just was like a part of me, you know
what I mean. So they kept it kept happening off
and on, off and on, off and on, so each
time it started getting worse and worse and worse to
where it would last longer. It would start off with
like a little pain by my thought, like my quad.
(12:39):
It would it went like sore, and then it would
be like a little knot. And then the muscle started
growing and swelling, and then it was getting real hot.
And it was and I didn't know at the time
that it was infection. Oh wow, and it would turn
like a gray color. My whole leg would start changing
colors and swelling.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Oh, it's not every symptom that you've had with a silicone.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I had it. I had. It was weird. So this
kept happening to go away. Then it was both legs.
Then it would go away, it would come back, and
so it was random. So then that was like off
and on for like four years. They couldn't figure out
what it was. So then it's one particular time I
had walked into my host room and she was like,
(13:22):
why are you walking like that? And I was like,
my legs hurt. I'm having that swelling again. She's like,
let me see, and she touched my leg and she
pulled her hand back. She said leave right now. She said,
you need to go to doctor. That's infection. And I
was like, what what are you talking about? And she
was like that heat like that. She was like, no,
it was hot like that. It was hot like fire
to where if you put a bag of ice on
(13:44):
my leg within two a minute to two minutes. It
was water, that's how hot.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
What made you keep going? Because you had to be
in pain.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I was, but I just was like, you know, it'll
go away. But nobody knew what it was. So when
I went to the doctor that day, I left the
work went to the doctor and I had a different
doctor than normal. So I sat there and I and
it just popped. Silicon just popped up in my head.
It was weird. And I said, do you think I said,
(14:14):
I had silicon injections in oh, two thousand and seven.
I said, do you think it might be that my
body reacting to that? And he was like what? He
was like, no, they don't have nothing to do with it,
and he said I'll be right back, and he went out.
He came back with this long needle and I was like,
what is that for? And he was like, this is
infection right here. We gotta nip this fast. So he
gave me a shot, put me on high dose antibiotics
(14:38):
like eight hundred and seventy five milligrams and antibiotics, and
I had to take them and I had to come
back in a week. So when I came back, I
saw a different doctor again. It was a lady doctor
del Pardia and she she came in and she was
looking at my chart and I said, you know, I
mentioned to the doctor still on the on my pegwork,
(14:59):
he said bug bite. So they're looking, so they constantly
looking for a bug bite. And I was like, I
don't think I got bit or anything, and they kept looking.
So she was like, it don't look like you got
bit and I said, well, I did mention to him
that I had silicon injections in oh eight and that
had something to do with it. He said no, and
she just froze and she turned around and looked at
(15:19):
me and she said, that's exactly what's wrong with I'm
from Columbia.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
And I said what she said, yes, your body is
rejecting the silicon. And I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
So when all this was going on, did you ever
think did you or did you ever call the person
who did it to you?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Just the answer, I didn't because nobody knew what it
was and I didn't know because I never thought about
the silicon. So once I found out and then I
started researching doctors, wow, And I still never called the
person because I didn't, you know. It was just like,
oh my god, let me just see if something. And
(16:10):
then I found that app real self. Yes, yes, And
then Silicon removals started popping up doctor and doctor Diaz
in Colombia and Cali, Colombia and doctor Rio start popping up, right,
So I kept going back and forth, looking, looking, looking,
and I gravitated towards doctor did, Doctor Andrews did, and
(16:32):
that's when goodbody by Jay had her surgery. So then
she had said doctor Mendiata, so I writ, you know,
looked him up and I was like, m that looks
you know, it was making me nervous how he was doing,
you know, the procedure, how he did it, So then.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
How did you do it?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
He was more so like just butchering people, Like I
literally sent a video that he was posting of him
doing Silicon removals to my mom and she called me like,
what is that a fish? Is that a what is
that that he's cutting? But it was somebody's butt because
he was he literally was gutting out the people's whole
(17:11):
inside of their bottom, their buttocks. So I was just like,
oh my god. So then doctor Gallerni popped up and
then I was like, like, he's I didn't like how
he was doing kind of the same thing. And then
he was more so like it kind of became like
a like a insurance type deal. Let me like like,
(17:34):
this is an epidemic, let me get on as much
money as I kind of sort of thing to me
right from the conversations that I had.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
And I feel like over here a lot of people
didn't really know about the side effects because nobody would
have thought that it would have come from.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
The ejection exactly. Nobody knew. Nobody knew Wow.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
So did you have friends that get had it done too?
Because I'm thinking of the express.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
No, nobody was having problems. It was like me, oh wow,
it was weird. It was weird. It was so weird.
So I reached out to doctor dias No. So what
happened was no enough, doctor min Galeri Galerani or Mandy
I one of them, or doctor Tazar. One of them
had asked me what kind of silicon? So that's when
(18:22):
I called the person and they were like, oh, it's
water bass right, So I was like okay, So I
told them, and it was weird because the original shape
that I had all of a sudden over the past
over the four years that I was having problems, I
went from a size ten to a sick my butt,
(18:45):
that butt went to a sixteen.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Yeah. I was about to ask you because I remember
reading all your your posts. Originally before the injections, you
was like one hundred and twenty one, right, and so
then when you got the injections, when you were just
you know, fine, you went from what size were you?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I was like a six, So you went.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
From one hundred and twenty one to a side well
that's like a size two. And then it was like
with the ejection, you was a size six. And then
when you started getting sick, you went from a size
ten twelve to sixteen. Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
It started blowing up. And I was asking my husband.
I was like this, my this is my shape. Looked
weird to you, Something's going on and he you know me,
and they like, it looks good to me. I'm not
talking to you, and I'm like, something is happening weird
because it was like blowing up like a balloon. And
then when I talked to the person that had did
it and they said water base, I was like, oh,
(19:45):
that's why it's blowing up because it's like a bloom.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
But how is it possible, Well.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Your body's your body's trying to get it out, that's why.
So only thing it knows to do, depending on the
base of the silicon is how it's gonna respond. So
because water is just blowing up like a blow So
the hips was getting bigger, the butt, the butt, the
top part of the butt got bigger, the middle and
the bottom. It just changed the shaping change at the bottom.
(20:16):
So the only thing is that it's gonna blow up
and then it's gonna start pushing down, which goes towards
your leg.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
So how did I physically feel? Because that must have
been a lot for you to go from different sizes
it was.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I started having like really bad back spasms to where
I would have to sit, like if I stand up
and work all day, Like if I sit, I would
have to sit thirty to forty five minutes for my
back to calm down for me to be able to
go home.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Hey, you're on your feet all day.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
So my back muscles had become exhausted. So I had
to see a back specialist for that. And then when
I went to him, he was like, what is this
cot and candy looking stuff right here? Why is this
white stuff? Because it showed on the extra and I
told him and he was like, what is that? And
so he was like, explain it to me in case
(21:06):
I run across it across it again and I don't
know what to do and tell people. So he had
me explain the whole silicon thing to him and then
he was like yeah. He was like, you're having promise
because the weight of it put on my back. So
I was having really bad problems.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
So how long before you decided that it was time
to surgically remove the silicon?
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Immediately when I found out it was silicon? And so
I found doctor d Is all day, all night.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Literally were you nervous about going to the doctor in Colombia?
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Not at all?
Speaker 1 (21:47):
So once you found him, you know that you was
like setting stone, like that was it?
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Mm hm. I found him, I sent him a message,
he talked to me through WhatsApp, and then I made
my appointment. I send him the pictures, he gave me
a quote. I made my appointment as soon as we
wrapped from the real and like two weeks later after
we rapped, I left. So I had my first surgery
(22:12):
May twenty eighth of two thousand, and this is a
Columbia in Cali, Columbia. Yes, so you had.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Your first surgery in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
M hm.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
And how was that, Like, what was the procedure with that?
And were you nervous?
Speaker 2 (22:27):
No? I was pumped up again. No, I don't get nervous.
It's weird. I don't get nervous. I just get excited
because I know now I'm about to get help, you
know what I'm saying, so I can get my life back.
So it was it's more so, that is not a
nervousness at all. So it was just the fact that
I finally found a doctor that could get rid of
it and I cannot be sick no more. Because I
(22:49):
was so sick and tired of being sick and that pain.
I didn't want to deal with that no more.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
How many you was sick for, like well almost four
or five years?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
M hmm. I sure wasn't. Nobody knew it. And then
find my friend Melanie Meals convinced it convinced me to
start talking about it on social media, and that's how
it starts.

my cause, it was more so not embarrassed that people
knew because people knew I had silicon, So I was
embarrassed about that. It was just more and so me
emotionally knowing the pain that I was, how sick I was,
(24:27):
you know, So that was emotional to me, and then
talking about it, So it wasn't embarrassed, not at all.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Had anybody, like any celebrities, you don't have the name
or anything, but had any celebrities came up to you
and like ask you questions and stuff just because maybe
they was a little nervous about because I know a
lot of celebrities get it done as well.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Yeah, I've had all types of people, celebrities, right, I
mean just everyday people. People from other countries, people that
have silicon and they knows like it's from Dubai, from
frank Paris, from all over the world world have reached
out and been talking that I've talked to to ask questions.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
But oh, go ahead, No, but I was.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Gonna say when you asked me, go back to when
I first got to Columbia and I met I went
to go. When I got to Cali, I met doctor
Dias was out of the country at a conference. So
when he came back, he came from the airport to
the recovery house, which was Vital Care Recovery House, and
when he walked in, it was like we was friends forever.
(25:28):
And I was like, I just knew right then that
he gave me that he was helped, and he was happy, smiling,
and every time we see each other, literally we just
bust out laughing like it's fun. So he's just that
kind of person to be. And I wanted a doctor
that's gonna be honest, tell me the truth. Am I
(25:50):
gonna need one surgery or two? He said, You're probably
gonna need too because it's so much, because it's blew
up so big. Wow. So when he first I had
my first surgery, he literally removed he removed nine pounds,
which was only the.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Top nine pounds.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
It had blew up to nine pounds on the top.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I don't know how you was walking around for almost
five years. And that's just the top part. That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
That was just the top The top part was nine pounds.
And afterwards and I was just uh and I was well,
he woke me up and I said, doctor, is that
butck gone? And he started laughing and was like you
want to see? So he showed me the pictures and
I was like, oh my god, it was crazy. But
I mean, at the end of the day, make sure
(26:38):
you get the morphine pump. I'm not selling drugs, but
when you get that.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
But that's all I know.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
It was. But you know, you have to have the
pump for four days, and then his process is I
didn't have drains like you see a lot of these
girls walking around with drains and stuff. I didn't have
drains drading the fluid all right, right, to drain the
fluid out. But what he does is you get massaged
by the nurse comes daily and they manually drain you.
(27:09):
So after five days he doesn't want no any more massaging,
but you'll continue to get drained if you you know,
but he wants the body to recognize it. I'm supposed
to fix myself, you know what I'm saying. So if
you got something else that's fixing it for you. Your
body is kind of traumatized a little bit. So you know,
when you wake up, as soon as you fill your legs,
(27:31):
you have to walk like immediately moving because your body
has to know this is supposed to still work, you know,
And you only can have the butt open for six hours.
So after six hours, the butt the whole thing dies off.
So my first surgery was five and a half hours.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
And then, so have you had your second surgery yet
or no?
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Yeah, yes, I have my second surgery July July twenty third,
And how had.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
It and how was it?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
This one was a little more painful because he did
he took out the bottom, so he took five pounds
off the bottom three parts, three pounds off the hips,
so he took the hips out the bottom. He cut
my skin and had to reconstruct the shape of my
butt on the bottom. And then because my body blew
(28:27):
up so big, my boob my boobs was humongous. Wow.
So I had to get a breast reduction because they
were so heavy.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
And that's almost twenty pounds from the silicone.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
It came to seventeen pounds.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
And he took two pounds off my chest, off my chest.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
So how do you feel now?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
I feel awesome, I feel you sounds good. I really do.
Like it's a trip, because when you wake up from surgery,
you literally can tell that it's gone. It's a weird feeling.
And the best way that I can explain it is
I feel clean after this surgery, I feel clean on
the inside. It's weird. And then maybe like five days
(29:15):
after my surgery, my whole skin everything just started changing,
like it just started getting real clear. It was weird. None,
that's good.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Because it's the affection is out of you.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
M It definitely is a great thing, but it was
just how you just don't realize that the things that
we put in our body and do to ourselves, how
much we can taminate our own selves.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
It's all the silicone removed.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Uh, from what I understand, Yes, I'm dumb. Having surgery good.
So what would you.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Say is the biggest lesson you learned from this?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
The biggest lesson is that, Okay, I'm gonna say this.
A lot of people ask me, you know, they try
to make me feel bad because I made the decision
to get the silicon, And I tell people, you can't
make me feel bad about a decision.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
What would they say that make you feel bad? And
that's kind of rude.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
No, but you'd be surprised. I've even had a doctor
tell me that and I had to get her straight
and then she apologized to me because she was like,
I never thought about it like that, you know, and
it's like, you know, like do you feel dumb because
you got that? No, I don't. You know, it's like
why would have because I still like, honestly, if I
(30:40):
wouldn't have got it, I wouldn't be able to have
a conversation with you right now to help somebody else.
I would have never experienced that pain in the side
effects and the reactions and having the surgery to be
able to help lead somebody else to get help. So
I look at it like everything happens for a reason,
(31:02):
you know what I mean. So I just feel like
that's what has happened, Like that happened to me for
me to help somebody else or help as many people
as I can to feel better to not be sick.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Have you ever thought about reaching out to the person
who did it?
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Now?
Speaker 1 (31:18):
What?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Who did?
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I talked to him. I talked to him. Oh yeah,
I mean, like regular you know, it was just like
you know, when you start having problems, why you didn't
call me or whatever? And I was like I just
found out that it was from the silicon, But like,
you know, other people have gotten it done by the
same person, and it's like I'm mad at them, But
my thing is why are you mad at somebody that
(31:41):
you asked for a service for you decided to get that.
I'm not going to be mad at the person because
they did it to me. I asked for it, I
paid for that, so I's a choice. It's a choice,
So I don't blame anybody. I'm not mad at anybody,
you know what I mean. So my thing is I'm
thankful that I was able to get help. And that's
(32:04):
where I leave it at.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
And is it expensive to get the surgery? Because I
know when I was doing my research the price is varied.
It also depends on the situation because everybody situation is different.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Bingo, And I tell everybody asked me, how much did
you pay? I don't discuss money. It's like if I
refer hairstylists, I don't discuss their prices. Everybody is different,
so every situation is different, you know. So I just
tell him reach out to doctor Andrews dis and then
here's his assistant lives and contact as well on WhatsApp.
(32:37):
Send him your pictures if you have it in my ride,
you can send that to I got minds done out
there in Columbia. But and he'll tell you he'll give
you a price, you know, so you can't say what
the price is because you don't know what. Some people
have more, some people have less, right, you know, some
(32:58):
people have a little bit a silicone so they can
get a BBL after So I can't you know what
I mean? I think I do.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Yeah, I think you posted a picture and I'm like,
she's sick. But I was shocked.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
I thought I was gonna be flat like a pancake
like I was at first, and and doctor Dance was like,
you got a cute shape, And I was like what
because I was so swollen after my surgery. I just
looked like two people. That's how swollen I was.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Really.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Oh yeah, my body it was nuts.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
It was.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
It was a lot. It was. He had to remove
a lot. He removed what eight pounds this time.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
And when you say pounds, was it like the sil
was like it was it hard, like a lump or something.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
It was like it's it's like, you know, it's a lot,
it's clumped together. But when you look at it normally,
the silicone is like chia seeds. It's weird. That's what
it looks like. But mine had swollen so much. Today
would it was a side so you can see it
in parts where it has swollen up to like jelly beans.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
So it was just like eight pounds of silicon, you know.
So you know, it's just you know, I don't I
don't know. I'm just happy to be able to normal
and I had that big old dumb booty and them pimps.
I'm telling you, I'm so over it. Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
So, what's an advice you would give to our listeners
about receiving Stull call injections or if they already have
it or thinking about doing it, because it's still popular
to this day.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
No, it is, it is. And I've had people reach
out to me that's only had it for two years
and having problems already. So my thing is this, you know,
if you can save your money, save your money, do
your research. You know, you might have to go and
and the laws and the medical laws and everything has
(34:58):
changed in Cali, Columbia, and they have amazing doctors down there.
They really do their state of the art. It really
is nice down there. And save your money and just
get a BBL. It's better, it's more natural. It's your
own body fat, you know, And just get that they
have care credit. They have you know, medical credit. You
(35:20):
can google that people you know and you can do
it like that and just pay monthly payments. It's ways
that you can get if you want to get that done.
But please don't get silicon. Some people have problems, some
people don't. But you don't know which person you're gonna be.
You don't know if you are you're not gonna have problems,
But why take a chance. When when I got Silicon injections,
(35:42):
BBLS wasn't around, so that wasn't an option.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Yeah, you got it when they first started again possible.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
So that wasn't an option. But you know, if anybody
needs help or they just want to talk to somebody
and figure out what's going on or what they can.
Don't have a problem with people talking to me. I
don't have a problem with people reaching out to me,
emailing me, or whatever.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
You know.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
I just want people to be a help, to acknowledge
that they have an issue. And if you have, don't
nobody in your family know. You have to tell somebody
that you're close to so they can know what's going on.
Because when especially something's going on and something happens, something happened. Yeah,
you have to and be very very very careful with
(36:29):
the doctors that you choose. Do your research, Do your research,
do your research, because a lot of doctors now are
still saying they can life post silicon. Life pol cannot
be sucked through a vacuum. You know what I'm saying.
It's it's just imagine your your your cell phone case
that's silicon, you know what I mean. So you can't
(36:51):
put a vacuum or something in something your phone case
through a two. You have to cut you know, you
have to cut that out.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
You know.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
So a lot of people are getting life pos suction.
And what's happening is the doctors when they light pole,
they're life poding out your good tissue and your own body. Fact.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
So when before I found you, I didn't I was
reading a lot of horror stories about these doctors, the
saying that can do something and they making the situation worse.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Okay, yeah, deadly worse. And now it's crazy because doctor
Diaz and it's weird. We had this conversation when I
was down there. A lot of the girls from America
that have been light pold got lip po suction, and
the doctors that they can take the slight of the
section the silicon out, are now coming to him. And
when they come to him, they don't have anybody fat.
(37:47):
All their good tissue for your body to repair itself
is gone. So now they're just stuck with silicon. So
once he takes the silicon out, we don't have anything.
Now you're the you know what I'm saying, deformed. But
he's not the person to leave you the form. So
he came up with a new technique to help, and
he's amazing. I'm telling you, he's amazing.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Well, if anybody listening, I'm a doctor. She dropped the
doctor name, so.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
I'm telling you I'm You know, you want somebody the
bedside manner means a lot to me. I don't want
a doctor that's gonna take my money and then I
don't hear from you again. Or now when I come
to you, you treat me like crap because I have
the silicon. I don't already know that I have it,
already feel bad that I have, you know what I'm saying,
Like I feel bad about how I feel, I'm sick
(38:33):
or whatever, Like I don't need you to make me
feel like crap. You're there to doctors are there to
help people, right, you know, So that's it.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
You know, well a million dollar question.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Do you regret it well getting silicon?
Speaker 2 (38:52):
No, because I wouldn't be able to be here talking
to you to help somebody.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
There you go. But I think amazing interview. I know
for sure people are going to be emailing me, so
I'm gonna definitely send you their information. If y'all have

What's a professional Homegirls is shagarl Ebine here and I
hope all it's cute. Okay, now we are back with
an oldie but goodie, and this episode, y'all, I actually.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Recorded in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
This is actually one of my very first episodes and
we're also one of my favorites because you know, one
thing I love about me and my guests we be
key king. And with this guest, it's so funny because
she remembers stating how she vividly remember when everybody started
popping up with asses, especially in atl And. I was like, yo,
me too, Like I remember looking around, I'm like, damn,
everybody got a fat ass. And now six years later,
(00:46):
if you notice, everybody got a little ass.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It's just so funny. But that's another conversation.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
This episode also takes me back to my early days
the podcast, when I would spend days and hours and
months just non stop researcher and DM and potential guests
non stop until I got a yes. And I know
some of my guess were probably like, yo, this bitch
is mad annoying. And it's so funny because I also
remember reaching out to a lady who was actually doing
(01:12):
illegal ass shots, trying to get her on the show,
but she kept curving me, which I totally get because
you know this is not something to play with when
it comes to your freedom. But maybe I'll try her
again now since we can actually alter the voices on
the show. But beyond the laughs and the key king in,
this conversation was so good. My guests kept it one
hundred about her insecurities and also broke down the symptoms
(01:34):
she endured when she realized something wasn't right the details itself,
because I could not imagine going from I believe she
went from her side six to a side sixteen and
she was stating how like her ass was high, she
had a crazy infection and like nobody knew what was
going on until I think she went to the doctor's
office and the nurse was Colombian and she was like, girls,
(01:55):
the ass shots. But you were here once you hear
the episode because it was insane. So if you are
considering getting silicone injections, especially the illegal kind, we don't judge,
but girl, you can go get the real kind. Put
it on Clara, was it Clarina after payment? This episode
is for you, so get ready and let's dive in
because I had my silicone injections removed. Stars. Now, what
(02:21):
was your body type like before?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Ooh, I was I'll say, like a size three one three,
three four and no hips, no, but very tiny and
just have boobs mh.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
So would you go ahead now.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Like a boyish type count disorder?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
So were you in like a little insecure about your body?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
You know what? I didn't know that I was insecure
because I had been on that size for so long
and then it was weird like later on then everybody,
you know, some people would be like, you're so cute,
you know, because I had my short hair and a
little body, and it's like, but you don't have no butt,
you know, so they're it's like, oh, you start thinking
(03:08):
about that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
So what made you find the side to get the
silicone injections.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I ended up getting the silicone injections because I wanted
to be more curvy m and just kind of really
to to match the booths m you know, because it
was kind of like off balance to me. So that's
why I ended up wanting it to get it.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Now that somebody put you onto the to a certain
place or it was a person that was doing it.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It was a person that was doing it. I was
in the actually Atlanta working and I was talking to
my friends and I'm like, it's so weird to me
how it seems like everybody in Atlanta is that what
a butt? Yeah? Is this possible? What is happening?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Like I remember that era because I remember I'm like, yo,
what everybody gotta ask like where this comes from?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Exactly exactly? So I was and they just happened to say, oh,
I know the person, and I'm like you do, Like,
oh my god, like for real. And I was like,
can I get it? You know what what is? And
you know, they told me silicon injections. So I was like, okay,
I wasn't you know at the time, you were not
thinking about health. You're just like, oh my god, I
can get balanced out. I can be curby, like you know,
(04:19):
like really feel like a girl, you know, right. And
I was like, oh, can I get it? And I
talked to the person and I was like, ooh, I
can come back in two weeks.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah, you know, it's so funny. I have a homegirl
I know who got it done. And I was just
like wow, like a lot of people were doing it
at that time.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I was done seven Wow.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
So the shots worried legal Oh yeah, well yeah, But
like you said, I think a lot of people didn't
realize because who care about their health when they're trying
to look good, especially when you see everybody else doing
it and you didn't hear anything about it.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
You didn't hear anything about it, and you didn't I
didn't know. I didn't even think about it, right.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
So walk up the day when you first got your
first silicone injection.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
It was so weird because I was so excited. I
was so pumped up that they was just like, oh
my god, you got to calm down. Like I was
so amped up, like, oh my god, I'm about to
have a shape like I have when I said I
had no but like none. So I was just like,
oh my god, oh my god. Go and they was like, oh,
you got to calm down. So they made me smoke
some weed and I don't smoke, so it was like
(05:30):
mellow me out because I was so amped up. And
when I got it, I was like looking and I
was like, oh oh my god. They was like, can
you be still? But I was like, couldn't believe it
was blowing up like a balloon, you know, and it.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Was just like, oh my god, wait, so what was
the procedure because I know it is because I was
there when somebody got done, so they was it somebody
house or yeah, well it.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Was at somebody's house. And then it was just like literally,
like you know, they were very clean, you know, very
alcohol rubber gloves, like everything clean and insanitary. But it
was just like you just get injection, you know what
I mean. It's just like a needle with the silicone
in it. It was looked like water and when you
(06:16):
see it, and then it just was blowing up like
a balloon. And they was just doing it like in
a pattern. Oh wow, to like blow it, you know,
to blow it up your butt up to make a
shape basically.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
So when you were seeing this happen, it was like
your immediate response.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I was pumped. It was like can you be steel?
But I was so excited. It was just like, you know,
I get really amped up when I know I'm about
to do something. So it was just trying to calm
me down from excitement. And then afterwards they finished and
they just had me kind of blean forward and they
just kind of like duct tape they put it was
(06:53):
like saran wrap, and then they duct tape around for
like the shape.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Go ahead ahead.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I'm trying that thing. You couldn't sit on it for
like eight hours if I remember correctly. And then you
get in a hot tub of water, like a hot
hot bath and you do it like too, you know,
letty cool off rents, you know, rents run it again
for like two or three times, and then that was it,
and it was like magic. It was like, oh my god,
I got a shape. I didn't realize. Oh my god,
(07:25):
you know, how.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Did it feel?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
It felt like regular, like like regular, but it wasn't hard.
It was just like.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Jelly, like yeah, I know, you was filling it.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Oh my god. I was like, oh, this is great.
But you know what, because I was so small the
first time that I got it done, it was like
a normal size like not it was it was it
wasn't big, but it was like something there, you.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Know what I mean. I was going to ask you
how many times afterwards did you? Did you receive their injections?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I got my but done twice and then I was
so thin I ended up getting hips too.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Oh wow. And it was the Hills, the same procedure
as the butt mm hmm, same thing. And was this
is it expensive?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I guess it depends on a person who's doing it.
I mean it ranges from maybe, I guess, depending on
how much, maybe five hundred to two thousand. I think
that's what the price.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Oh wow, it just depends. So when I was looking
at their pictures because I like to go through my
guest pictures just to get a feel who they are,
and like, you know, just to prepare myself for the interview.
And I mean, you are a beautiful woman. They're very talented.
But I can tell the difference in your confidence when
you after you receive the shots because you're not women.
(08:49):
You know how us women are really just do certain things.
But we're feeling very confident, right, So how did it
feel to receive the attention that you were getting at
that time? Because I could only imagine you was getting
like a lot of.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
It was weird. It took a while, an adjustment period
for a long time, like what are they looking at?
You know, it was like that kind of thing, and
then you remember, oh I got a butt, Oh I
got a shape, I look cute.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
It was like that kind of Now you're.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Taking a lot of bus shots too. I'm like, all right, yeah,
it was like I look cute.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Okay, but then you know, so it's like and then
after a while it was just like okay, and nobody's deal.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Right, It's like getting a Christmas gift, Christmas gift and
you be all ecstatic about it. Then after you time
go past, you'll be like, oh, I played with that later.
It was like one of those type bes.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Now, I know you also deal with a lot of
high profile clients and you work in a certain type
of industry. Do you think they played the part in it?
Plus the fact that you always felt like you had
a boyish figure?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
What you mean?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Now, I know you deal with a lot of celebrities,
and I know sometimes, like especially if it's something that
you think that you don't have and you see other
people with it, it kind of like heighten it even
more because you're seeing it so much.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
No, I don't think it was that. I don't think
it was a celebrity aspect of it. It was I
think because I was you know, I had a lot
of friends in Atlanta, so it was like I was
there a lot, right, so I just think because it
was just that's all you were seeing. It's kind of like, oh,
this is the normal, right, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
So how long was it before you start to feel
the pain?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Well, probably around two I was, you know, probably around
two thousand, let's see fourteen, maybe twelve, fourteen, ten, No,
twenty ten, I started having.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Like six years. Wow.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Well, but I didn't know that's what it was. You know,
nobody knew, you know. So it was like I would
have sensations to like cold or you know how if
you lean against some metal rail and it's cold, I
would have like this weird sensation that would happen, and
I was like, ooh, that's weird. I can't sit on
(11:03):
nothing metal, okay, And then they just don't think about
it no more. And then oh wow, time passed, and
I say, like twenty twelve, I started having like like
it would get itch real itchy. It would get like red,
it'd turn like red spots, and then it would go away.
(11:25):
I started having legs swellings and stuff. So then I
went to the doctor and they thought I had an
autoimmune disease. So that was going on for like maybe
four years.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
And then before I first I had my first swelling.
It's crazy because the Black doctors had came on our
show on the rear and I had asked them because
I was like kind of over it. So it was
one of those like how can I get this out?
You know what I mean? Like I was kind of
over the butt. So then they were like, oh, you
know you have silicon. I was yea, and they was like, oh,
(12:00):
you can't take it out. That's something that's perfont No
doctor take it out. So you kind of just stuck
with it. So I was just like dang. So then
maybe a month or two later, I had a first
leg swellings, but didn't know what it was, so that.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
You never thought that it was your bun. I mean,
who would who would have thrown it right?
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Never thought it because I've had it so long that
it just was like a part of me, you know
what I mean. So they kept it kept happening off
and on, off and on, off and on, so each
time it started getting worse and worse and worse to
where it would last longer. It would start off with
like a little pain by my thought, like my quad.
(12:39):
It would it went like sore, and then it would
be like a little knot. And then the muscle started
growing and swelling, and then it was getting real hot.
And it was and I didn't know at the time
that it was infection. Oh wow, and it would turn
like a gray color. My whole leg would start changing
colors and swelling.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Oh, it's not every symptom that you've had with a silicone.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I had it. I had. It was weird. So this
kept happening to go away. Then it was both legs.
Then it would go away, it would come back, and
so it was random. So then that was like off
and on for like four years. They couldn't figure out
what it was. So then it's one particular time I
had walked into my host room and she was like,
(13:22):
why are you walking like that? And I was like,
my legs hurt. I'm having that swelling again. She's like,
let me see, and she touched my leg and she
pulled her hand back. She said leave right now. She said,
you need to go to doctor. That's infection. And I
was like, what what are you talking about? And she
was like that heat like that. She was like, no,
it was hot like that. It was hot like fire
to where if you put a bag of ice on
(13:44):
my leg within two a minute to two minutes. It
was water, that's how hot.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
What made you keep going? Because you had to be
in pain.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I was, but I just was like, you know, it'll
go away. But nobody knew what it was. So when
I went to the doctor that day, I left the
work went to the doctor and I had a different
doctor than normal. So I sat there and I and
it just popped. Silicon just popped up in my head.
It was weird. And I said, do you think I said,
(14:14):
I had silicon injections in oh, two thousand and seven.
I said, do you think it might be that my
body reacting to that? And he was like what? He
was like, no, they don't have nothing to do with it,
and he said I'll be right back, and he went out.
He came back with this long needle and I was like,
what is that for? And he was like, this is
infection right here. We gotta nip this fast. So he
gave me a shot, put me on high dose antibiotics
(14:38):
like eight hundred and seventy five milligrams and antibiotics, and
I had to take them and I had to come
back in a week. So when I came back, I
saw a different doctor again. It was a lady doctor
del Pardia and she she came in and she was
looking at my chart and I said, you know, I
mentioned to the doctor still on the on my pegwork,
(14:59):
he said bug bite. So they're looking, so they constantly
looking for a bug bite. And I was like, I
don't think I got bit or anything, and they kept looking.
So she was like, it don't look like you got
bit and I said, well, I did mention to him
that I had silicon injections in oh eight and that
had something to do with it. He said no, and
she just froze and she turned around and looked at
(15:19):
me and she said, that's exactly what's wrong with I'm
from Columbia.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
And I said what she said, yes, your body is
rejecting the silicon. And I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
So when all this was going on, did you ever
think did you or did you ever call the person
who did it to you?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Just the answer, I didn't because nobody knew what it
was and I didn't know because I never thought about
the silicon. So once I found out and then I
started researching doctors, wow, And I still never called the
person because I didn't, you know. It was just like,
oh my god, let me just see if something. And
(16:10):
then I found that app real self. Yes, yes, And
then Silicon removals started popping up doctor and doctor Diaz
in Colombia and Cali, Colombia and doctor Rio start popping up, right,
So I kept going back and forth, looking, looking, looking,
and I gravitated towards doctor did, Doctor Andrews did, and
(16:32):
that's when goodbody by Jay had her surgery. So then
she had said doctor Mendiata, so I writ, you know,
looked him up and I was like, m that looks
you know, it was making me nervous how he was doing,
you know, the procedure, how he did it, So then.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
How did you do it?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
He was more so like just butchering people, Like I
literally sent a video that he was posting of him
doing Silicon removals to my mom and she called me like,
what is that a fish? Is that a what is
that that he's cutting? But it was somebody's butt because
he was he literally was gutting out the people's whole
(17:11):
inside of their bottom, their buttocks. So I was just like,
oh my god. So then doctor Gallerni popped up and
then I was like, like, he's I didn't like how
he was doing kind of the same thing. And then
he was more so like it kind of became like
a like a insurance type deal. Let me like like,
(17:34):
this is an epidemic, let me get on as much
money as I kind of sort of thing to me
right from the conversations that I had.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
And I feel like over here a lot of people
didn't really know about the side effects because nobody would
have thought that it would have come from.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
The ejection exactly. Nobody knew. Nobody knew Wow.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
So did you have friends that get had it done too?
Because I'm thinking of the express.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
No, nobody was having problems. It was like me, oh wow,
it was weird. It was weird. It was so weird.
So I reached out to doctor dias No. So what
happened was no enough, doctor min Galeri Galerani or Mandy
I one of them, or doctor Tazar. One of them
had asked me what kind of silicon? So that's when
(18:22):
I called the person and they were like, oh, it's
water bass right, So I was like okay, So I
told them, and it was weird because the original shape
that I had all of a sudden over the past
over the four years that I was having problems, I
went from a size ten to a sick my butt,
(18:45):
that butt went to a sixteen.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Yeah. I was about to ask you because I remember
reading all your your posts. Originally before the injections, you
was like one hundred and twenty one, right, and so
then when you got the injections, when you were just
you know, fine, you went from what size were you?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I was like a six, So you went.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
From one hundred and twenty one to a side well
that's like a size two. And then it was like
with the ejection, you was a size six. And then
when you started getting sick, you went from a size
ten twelve to sixteen. Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
It started blowing up. And I was asking my husband.
I was like this, my this is my shape. Looked
weird to you, Something's going on and he you know me,
and they like, it looks good to me. I'm not
talking to you, and I'm like, something is happening weird
because it was like blowing up like a balloon. And
then when I talked to the person that had did
it and they said water base, I was like, oh,
(19:45):
that's why it's blowing up because it's like a bloom.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
But how is it possible, Well.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Your body's your body's trying to get it out, that's why.
So only thing it knows to do, depending on the
base of the silicon is how it's gonna respond. So
because water is just blowing up like a blow So
the hips was getting bigger, the butt, the butt, the
top part of the butt got bigger, the middle and
the bottom. It just changed the shaping change at the bottom.
(20:16):
So the only thing is that it's gonna blow up
and then it's gonna start pushing down, which goes towards
your leg.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
So how did I physically feel? Because that must have
been a lot for you to go from different sizes
it was.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I started having like really bad back spasms to where
I would have to sit, like if I stand up
and work all day, Like if I sit, I would
have to sit thirty to forty five minutes for my
back to calm down for me to be able to
go home.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Hey, you're on your feet all day.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
So my back muscles had become exhausted. So I had
to see a back specialist for that. And then when
I went to him, he was like, what is this
cot and candy looking stuff right here? Why is this
white stuff? Because it showed on the extra and I
told him and he was like, what is that? And
so he was like, explain it to me in case
(21:06):
I run across it across it again and I don't
know what to do and tell people. So he had
me explain the whole silicon thing to him and then
he was like yeah. He was like, you're having promise
because the weight of it put on my back. So
I was having really bad problems.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
So how long before you decided that it was time
to surgically remove the silicon?
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Immediately when I found out it was silicon? And so
I found doctor d Is all day, all night.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Literally were you nervous about going to the doctor in Colombia?
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Not at all?
Speaker 1 (21:47):
So once you found him, you know that you was
like setting stone, like that was it?
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Mm hm. I found him, I sent him a message,
he talked to me through WhatsApp, and then I made
my appointment. I send him the pictures, he gave me
a quote. I made my appointment as soon as we
wrapped from the real and like two weeks later after
we rapped, I left. So I had my first surgery
(22:12):
May twenty eighth of two thousand, and this is a
Columbia in Cali, Columbia. Yes, so you had.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Your first surgery in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
M hm.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
And how was that, Like, what was the procedure with that?
And were you nervous?
Speaker 2 (22:27):
No? I was pumped up again. No, I don't get nervous.
It's weird. I don't get nervous. I just get excited
because I know now I'm about to get help, you
know what I'm saying, so I can get my life back.
So it was it's more so, that is not a
nervousness at all. So it was just the fact that
I finally found a doctor that could get rid of
it and I cannot be sick no more. Because I
(22:49):
was so sick and tired of being sick and that pain.
I didn't want to deal with that no more.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
How many you was sick for, like well almost four
or five years?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
M hmm. I sure wasn't. Nobody knew it. And then
find my friend Melanie Meals convinced it convinced me to
start talking about it on social media, and that's how
it starts.

week's episode.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
So I told my story and then a lot of people,
even celebrities, just hit me like, oh my thing, no,
because you know, you don't want to be like that
woe is me type pers I got that kind of person.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
So you so you were you embarrassed? I don't think
I'm the same way with nobody in my business either.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Well, well, you know what, it wasn't so much embarrassed.
I wasn't embarrassed. I just you don't you don't know
what it is. But once I found out what was
my cause, it was more so not embarrassed that people
knew because people knew I had silicon, So I was
embarrassed about that. It was just more and so me
emotionally knowing the pain that I was, how sick I was,
(24:27):
you know, So that was emotional to me, and then
talking about it, So it wasn't embarrassed, not at all.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Had anybody, like any celebrities, you don't have the name
or anything, but had any celebrities came up to you
and like ask you questions and stuff just because maybe
they was a little nervous about because I know a
lot of celebrities get it done as well.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Yeah, I've had all types of people, celebrities, right, I
mean just everyday people. People from other countries, people that
have silicon and they knows like it's from Dubai, from
frank Paris, from all over the world world have reached
out and been talking that I've talked to to ask questions.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
But oh, go ahead, No, but I was.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Gonna say when you asked me, go back to when
I first got to Columbia and I met I went
to go. When I got to Cali, I met doctor
Dias was out of the country at a conference. So
when he came back, he came from the airport to
the recovery house, which was Vital Care Recovery House, and
when he walked in, it was like we was friends forever.
(25:28):
And I was like, I just knew right then that
he gave me that he was helped, and he was happy, smiling,
and every time we see each other, literally we just
bust out laughing like it's fun. So he's just that
kind of person to be. And I wanted a doctor
that's gonna be honest, tell me the truth. Am I
(25:50):
gonna need one surgery or two? He said, You're probably
gonna need too because it's so much, because it's blew
up so big. Wow. So when he first I had
my first surgery, he literally removed he removed nine pounds,
which was only the.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Top nine pounds.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
It had blew up to nine pounds on the top.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I don't know how you was walking around for almost
five years. And that's just the top part. That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
That was just the top The top part was nine pounds.
And afterwards and I was just uh and I was well,
he woke me up and I said, doctor, is that
butck gone? And he started laughing and was like you
want to see? So he showed me the pictures and
I was like, oh my god, it was crazy. But
I mean, at the end of the day, make sure
(26:38):
you get the morphine pump. I'm not selling drugs, but
when you get that.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
But that's all I know.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
It was. But you know, you have to have the
pump for four days, and then his process is I
didn't have drains like you see a lot of these
girls walking around with drains and stuff. I didn't have
drains drading the fluid all right, right, to drain the
fluid out. But what he does is you get massaged
by the nurse comes daily and they manually drain you.
(27:09):
So after five days he doesn't want no any more massaging,
but you'll continue to get drained if you you know,
but he wants the body to recognize it. I'm supposed
to fix myself, you know what I'm saying. So if
you got something else that's fixing it for you. Your
body is kind of traumatized a little bit. So you know,
when you wake up, as soon as you fill your legs,
(27:31):
you have to walk like immediately moving because your body
has to know this is supposed to still work, you know,
And you only can have the butt open for six hours.
So after six hours, the butt the whole thing dies off.
So my first surgery was five and a half hours.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
And then, so have you had your second surgery yet
or no?
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Yeah, yes, I have my second surgery July July twenty third,
And how had.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
It and how was it?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
This one was a little more painful because he did
he took out the bottom, so he took five pounds
off the bottom three parts, three pounds off the hips,
so he took the hips out the bottom. He cut
my skin and had to reconstruct the shape of my
butt on the bottom. And then because my body blew
(28:27):
up so big, my boob my boobs was humongous. Wow.
So I had to get a breast reduction because they
were so heavy.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
And that's almost twenty pounds from the silicone.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
It came to seventeen pounds.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
And he took two pounds off my chest, off my chest.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
So how do you feel now?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
I feel awesome, I feel you sounds good. I really do.
Like it's a trip, because when you wake up from surgery,
you literally can tell that it's gone. It's a weird feeling.
And the best way that I can explain it is
I feel clean after this surgery, I feel clean on
the inside. It's weird. And then maybe like five days
(29:15):
after my surgery, my whole skin everything just started changing,
like it just started getting real clear. It was weird. None,
that's good.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Because it's the affection is out of you.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
M It definitely is a great thing, but it was
just how you just don't realize that the things that
we put in our body and do to ourselves, how
much we can taminate our own selves.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
It's all the silicone removed.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Uh, from what I understand, Yes, I'm dumb. Having surgery good.
So what would you.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Say is the biggest lesson you learned from this?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
The biggest lesson is that, Okay, I'm gonna say this.
A lot of people ask me, you know, they try
to make me feel bad because I made the decision
to get the silicon, And I tell people, you can't
make me feel bad about a decision.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
What would they say that make you feel bad? And
that's kind of rude.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
No, but you'd be surprised. I've even had a doctor
tell me that and I had to get her straight
and then she apologized to me because she was like,
I never thought about it like that, you know, and
it's like, you know, like do you feel dumb because
you got that? No, I don't. You know, it's like
why would have because I still like, honestly, if I
(30:40):
wouldn't have got it, I wouldn't be able to have
a conversation with you right now to help somebody else.
I would have never experienced that pain in the side
effects and the reactions and having the surgery to be
able to help lead somebody else to get help. So
I look at it like everything happens for a reason,
(31:02):
you know what I mean. So I just feel like
that's what has happened, Like that happened to me for
me to help somebody else or help as many people
as I can to feel better to not be sick.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Have you ever thought about reaching out to the person
who did it?
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Now?
Speaker 1 (31:18):
What?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Who did?
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I talked to him. I talked to him. Oh yeah,
I mean, like regular you know, it was just like
you know, when you start having problems, why you didn't
call me or whatever? And I was like I just
found out that it was from the silicon, But like,
you know, other people have gotten it done by the
same person, and it's like I'm mad at them, But
my thing is why are you mad at somebody that
(31:41):
you asked for a service for you decided to get that.
I'm not going to be mad at the person because
they did it to me. I asked for it, I
paid for that, so I's a choice. It's a choice,
So I don't blame anybody. I'm not mad at anybody,
you know what I mean. So my thing is I'm
thankful that I was able to get help. And that's
(32:04):
where I leave it at.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
And is it expensive to get the surgery? Because I
know when I was doing my research the price is varied.
It also depends on the situation because everybody situation is different.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Bingo, And I tell everybody asked me, how much did
you pay? I don't discuss money. It's like if I
refer hairstylists, I don't discuss their prices. Everybody is different,
so every situation is different, you know. So I just
tell him reach out to doctor Andrews dis and then
here's his assistant lives and contact as well on WhatsApp.
(32:37):
Send him your pictures if you have it in my ride,
you can send that to I got minds done out
there in Columbia. But and he'll tell you he'll give
you a price, you know, so you can't say what
the price is because you don't know what. Some people
have more, some people have less, right, you know, some
(32:58):
people have a little bit a silicone so they can
get a BBL after So I can't you know what
I mean? I think I do.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Yeah, I think you posted a picture and I'm like,
she's sick. But I was shocked.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
I thought I was gonna be flat like a pancake
like I was at first, and and doctor Dance was like,
you got a cute shape, And I was like what
because I was so swollen after my surgery. I just
looked like two people. That's how swollen I was.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Really.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Oh yeah, my body it was nuts.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
It was.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
It was a lot. It was. He had to remove
a lot. He removed what eight pounds this time.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
And when you say pounds, was it like the sil
was like it was it hard, like a lump or something.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
It was like it's it's like, you know, it's a lot,
it's clumped together. But when you look at it normally,
the silicone is like chia seeds. It's weird. That's what
it looks like. But mine had swollen so much. Today
would it was a side so you can see it
in parts where it has swollen up to like jelly beans.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
So it was just like eight pounds of silicon, you know.
So you know, it's just you know, I don't I
don't know. I'm just happy to be able to normal
and I had that big old dumb booty and them pimps.
I'm telling you, I'm so over it. Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
So, what's an advice you would give to our listeners
about receiving Stull call injections or if they already have
it or thinking about doing it, because it's still popular
to this day.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
No, it is, it is. And I've had people reach
out to me that's only had it for two years
and having problems already. So my thing is this, you know,
if you can save your money, save your money, do
your research. You know, you might have to go and
and the laws and the medical laws and everything has
(34:58):
changed in Cali, Columbia, and they have amazing doctors down there.
They really do their state of the art. It really
is nice down there. And save your money and just
get a BBL. It's better, it's more natural. It's your
own body fat, you know, And just get that they
have care credit. They have you know, medical credit. You
(35:20):
can google that people you know and you can do
it like that and just pay monthly payments. It's ways
that you can get if you want to get that done.
But please don't get silicon. Some people have problems, some
people don't. But you don't know which person you're gonna be.
You don't know if you are you're not gonna have problems,
But why take a chance. When when I got Silicon injections,
(35:42):
BBLS wasn't around, so that wasn't an option.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Yeah, you got it when they first started again possible.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
So that wasn't an option. But you know, if anybody
needs help or they just want to talk to somebody
and figure out what's going on or what they can.
Don't have a problem with people talking to me. I
don't have a problem with people reaching out to me,
emailing me, or whatever.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
You know.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
I just want people to be a help, to acknowledge
that they have an issue. And if you have, don't
nobody in your family know. You have to tell somebody
that you're close to so they can know what's going on.
Because when especially something's going on and something happens, something happened. Yeah,
you have to and be very very very careful with
(36:29):
the doctors that you choose. Do your research, Do your research,
do your research, because a lot of doctors now are
still saying they can life post silicon. Life pol cannot
be sucked through a vacuum. You know what I'm saying.
It's it's just imagine your your your cell phone case
that's silicon, you know what I mean. So you can't
(36:51):
put a vacuum or something in something your phone case
through a two. You have to cut you know, you
have to cut that out.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
You know.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
So a lot of people are getting life pos suction.
And what's happening is the doctors when they light pole,
they're life poding out your good tissue and your own body. Fact.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
So when before I found you, I didn't I was
reading a lot of horror stories about these doctors, the
saying that can do something and they making the situation worse.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Okay, yeah, deadly worse. And now it's crazy because doctor
Diaz and it's weird. We had this conversation when I
was down there. A lot of the girls from America
that have been light pold got lip po suction, and
the doctors that they can take the slight of the
section the silicon out, are now coming to him. And
when they come to him, they don't have anybody fat.
(37:47):
All their good tissue for your body to repair itself
is gone. So now they're just stuck with silicon. So
once he takes the silicon out, we don't have anything.
Now you're the you know what I'm saying, deformed. But
he's not the person to leave you the form. So
he came up with a new technique to help, and
he's amazing. I'm telling you, he's amazing.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Well, if anybody listening, I'm a doctor. She dropped the
doctor name, so.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
I'm telling you I'm You know, you want somebody the
bedside manner means a lot to me. I don't want
a doctor that's gonna take my money and then I
don't hear from you again. Or now when I come
to you, you treat me like crap because I have
the silicon. I don't already know that I have it,
already feel bad that I have, you know what I'm saying,
Like I feel bad about how I feel, I'm sick
(38:33):
or whatever, Like I don't need you to make me
feel like crap. You're there to doctors are there to
help people, right, you know, So that's it.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
You know, well a million dollar question.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Do you regret it well getting silicon?
Speaker 2 (38:52):
No, because I wouldn't be able to be here talking
to you to help somebody.
