I'm so glad you shared your testimony. I have not experienced waking up during surgery but I have experienced a medical emergency. In my situation, I whispered to God and He responded immediately so I know too that He is with us. When you said you couldn't move your fingers on your own but when you called on Him, He moved them for you...that was powerful! That statement right there said it all! I'm so glad that you are well and able to share your testimony. May His continued blessings be upon you and your family. And I'm loving your hair!
Hey sis! AMEN! Thank you, thank you for sharing your experience with all us as well! Together we can inspire and encourage our other sisters. :) I love you! PS: Later this spring I'm finally gonna do that meet up. I hope you'll be able to come. DM me your email on IG the next time you're on it so I'll have it to keep you updated.
I know God will heal you from this trauma you experienced. Thanks for sharing your story of crying out to God in your times of desperation, very powerful!
Wow. People are so quick to tell people to sue! MEDICINE ISN'T INFALLIBLE. There are always risks associated with surgery and I'm so glad that she is educated enough to realize that. I'm sure she researched and the doctors explained the risks to her, so people encouraging her to get into a legal battle for something happens to people in surgery regardless of the skill or prestige of the doctor is just ridiculous. Thanks for sharing your story!!! Thank you providing this testament of the realness of God! He is always on time!!!
This story gave me the chill , that is why surgery kinda freeks me out . Cause I bet I'm gonna be that person that is awake. And if that would have happen to I probably would have to get therapy . You are such a strong person to be able to share your story and make it through .
When you sign those consent papers you sign your whole life away...(I work in a hospital and have been through two surgeries myself). Being any kind of doctor is a practice, they aren't perfect and it's a risk the patient is aware they are taking.
EternalJoy This probably isn’t the right time but I wanna be a surgeon when I get older so if you have any tips for me. Sorry I really want to be a doctor to help people 🙂
EternalJoy that is bullshit I’m sorry. There’s no reason a patient should ever wake up during surgery and feel everything while they’re paralyzed. There needs to be some way to reduce these instances. It’s not acceptable. The use of a brain monitor is one way. there’s no reason why such a traumatic event should be happening at the rate it is and it’s severely downplayed by the medical community. So I refuse to accept that this is okay.
Wow, this made me very emotional. I admire your gratitude and your humility. I am so sorry that you had to experience this and I am so glad you were able to get through it. Thank God for his mercy.
Yes ma'am you came on camera to tell your BBL story and he just used you to show his mercy and glory! And yes you are right God is everywhere! And just because you do things that he may not may not be pleased with doesn't me he leaves you. He is a God of unconditional love. Thanks for sharing. I've been watching you forever even when you lived here in Dallas. God bless❣
Hello Andrew, I am so very thankful for your comment. I am glad that you found this useful in some way. Know that I love you despite what your beliefs are and the God I serve does too. You are a beautiful person inside and out and I hope that whatever it is that you are going through will come to pass sooner rather than later. You are strong. Sometimes we go through things that sharpens our iron and strengthens our muscles. Life, as you know, is not easy. I truly believe my path, though a rugged one (not including my surgery), has been survivable because of my faith. Even as a teenager, holding on to my faith is what got me through some really horrific times like when I was raped.
PS: I know that typically people who share my faith are often times the most judgmental and exclusive people. Please know that is not what Christianity is about. I love you babe. I wish you the very best. If ever you need me, please feel free to reach out. xo
HouseOfHaute I'm sorry you've endured such horrible experiences. That truly breaks my heart. Thanks for your heart felt comment. It made me smile :) Everything happens for a reason and clearly you're a stronger woman because of it. Keep up your great content :):)
Good lord, I got so emotional honey. I loved this and I'm just finding out now the extreme dangers, because when I had my surgery I went in unafraid, in my head I thought, knew, something wouldn't happen. I mean, nothing happened thankfully, but my point is that you're a lot stronger than me because my pain tolerance is so low... girl it's not even there. I could try to be strong, but I know I would give up because the pain would kill me. I'm happy you're alive and well to tell your story to raise awareness for this. You stand up to bullying and you are one with loving yourself no matter what. You have my respect, big time.
Thank you so much for your testimony. I've been a Christian my whole life, but I've been really struggling lately. You had me in tears. God is so good! I'm so sorry for what you went through, and you're in my prayers. I'm so glad you chose to make this video.
+Tesla Marie I am so blessed by your comment. Thank you sis. I pray that your struggles be lifted and become apart of your testimony. Continue encouraging others, you never know how greatly it can affect someone's life. God is amazing!
I needed to hear this. Thank yo so much. My faith took a nose dive when my little autisic son wanted to kill himself because of bullies and being different. I'm trying to get the faith back. It's hard.
I am so sorry to hear about you and son’s traumatic experience. I’m praying for you, sis. Try to stay strong and grounded. It’s the work of the enemy that drives you away from God. Always remember that. Tell God just as plain as you told me, that you need His help with having faith. I believe your prayers will be answered. I love you sis, hang in there. ♥️
Omg you made me cry, I'm so sorry you went through that experience, Thank you God for answering your prayer quickly. Thank you for sharing this experience, It will help so many people to be aware of the risks. I also had cosmetic surgery and i always say to my friends please don't do it if you don't have to. Before i went for my surgery i went on Spiritual Fasting and Praying, for protection because i knew there are risks.
I almost cried when you were talking about trusting in and asking God for help. I remember a year or so ago when I went swimming in the ocean here in Guam, we were at a really dark sand beach that made the water super murky. My family and I had been playing around in the water and as sunset was upon us my husband realized he had lost the keys. Somehow they had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and it was 1 in a million chance we’d be able to find them. Being down south that day we were an hour from home and none of our friends lived in the area. So we knew we had to find the keys or we would be stuck on the beach for the night with minimal necessities. We searched all over the beach and in the murky water deep and shallow and we couldn’t find them. As it was just about to get dark, I stopped and prayed. I asked God to “please let me find the keys so we could go home”. “Just please let me find them, I beg you”. I was on the verge of giving up the search and this was my last ditch effort. We had been searching for about 30/45 minutes already with no luck. As soon as I finished my prayer I reached down into the murky water one more time and felt something. I thought it was probably a rock or part of a coconut but as I began to pull it up I noticed it was the keys we’d been searching for. I cried out in disbelief to my husband that I had found the keys and I thanked God for listening and allowing me the help I needed to find those them. I honestly don’t think I would have found them if I hadn’t stopped and asked God for help. So in conclusion I do believe he is always there and always listening. Faith is Key!!
girl ur videos are quality and we can see you put a lot of energy and effort and consciousness into your platform...Don't even concern yourself when you receive mean hateful comments, chances are you could be stressing over the comment from a 14 year old stupid boy or some low self esteem individual....everybody in your tribe is smart, intelligent, and gracious and would never leave a negative comment on your page or any other page
Thanks for sharing this story. I was thinking about doing this and I have also awakened during surgery before and truly understand where you are coming from. YES God is awesome and always there when you truly need Him. Keep sharing your stories because you are helping others.
God is always there if you call to him, when i was 12 i was a healthy child i did gymnastics and soccer and i got sick so did my siblings and all of them got over except me not about 6 weeks later i was flown to Houston to the childrens hospital and told i had a week to live unless i had a transplant. it usauly takes 7 years to have a transplant, The docters listed me as 1A and i had a liver transplant in two days becuase i prayed to God the whole time and i went to pic u right after surgery and in less than 24 hours they moved me back to the floor i was on. Trust in our lord and he will help those who beleive. Im glad you made through this.
Toni, the Lord has kept me over and over again and I give Him Praise!! Thank you for your transparency and testimony!!! May you continue to heal 100%!!!!TFS!!!
This is so awesome!!! I hate you had to experience that, I can't even imagine the pain. :( So grateful God used this experience and your willingness & platform to share your testimony that His Power and Faithfulness is REAL! You have helped someone sis! Love you beautiful!
Estrelitaaaaa!! Hey sis! Thank you so much for always being such a bright light in my life. You are always so encouraging and uplifting to not just me but to all the other women in your life. I am so grateful for you and your beautiful soul. So Funny how He used my brother to connect us. I love you sis! Hope to see you the next time I'm in TX or whenever you are out my way!
I knoooww right?! I was thinking about that too! So crazy how God does things!!! And thank you so much for that sweet sweet compliment. Whatever I can do to help I'm so grateful love! And Omg I would LOVE THAT!! Please let me know! Love you and keep up the Haute werk sis!
Praise God you made it out of that surgery. I'm a believer but it's people sharing their testimonies that sometimes reminds you God hears our prayers. I ran across this story I got on RUclips to look for something different and came across this and I'm so thankful. You look amazing and I pray that this situation works out for your good. God Bless! I've liked and subscribed. Get it girl!
+phatnfabulous Meka Hi sis!! Thanks so much for blessing me with your comment. I'm truly thankful to know that you appreciated the video and message. That makes it all worth it. ❤😘
I'm so unbelievably glad that your body was finally able to break through the paralytic enough to get the anesthesiologist's attention. Your determination and your love and trust in God was so beautiful to hear about, and I'm genuinely moved by the way you recounted your experience.
I still want all my surgeries but girlll I'm freaked about your experience! I'm glad you are acting like a grown up about the situation regardless of the experience! Thank you for your video! I Love my God and I believe you hands down he came to your rescue!!!
I actually woke up during surgery as well. Shortly after waking up, I started to moan and the anesthesiologist heard and administered more of the medicine. Thankfully all I felt was the in and out motion of the catheter with no pain. It's just weird to me how they didn't notice your vital signs. I'm sure your heart rate was through the roof. Sorry you had to go through this and I'm glad you are able to tell your story.
Hi. I was scrolling through you tube this morning and ran into your video...First, I would like to Thank You for sharing such a terrifying expirience,, as I continued to listen you speak on how much pain you were feeling I could not even imagine how scared you must've felt.....I am a strong believer of my God...and I truly could feel the love. The empathy ...as you were speaking and it reached and touched my heart....I am very happy that you pulled through that difficult time in your life and that God heard your prayer...because there is truly A God!!! and he came at the right time of your need.....I am scheduled to have a bbl liposuction this year in Miami bbl....in April...I am scared and nervous but I trust in God that all will go well...I'm trying to stay focus. Doing alot of research and been listening to many videos on how to prep for this ....I Thank you again for your video...videos...and don't listen to such negativity .unfortunately we live in a truly different world nowadays!! Keep the Faith. Stay Strong and God Bless you.....Not only are you beautiful in the outside but beautiful in the inside...🙏🙏🙏🙏❤
Hi Toni, I'm just seeing this. It seems like your blood pressure should have gone up because of the pain level. I wonder what happened. Im happy that you made it through. It is awesome that you have a testimony. God bless you. Happy healing.
I love your positivity and faith in God, how smart you are knowing what can happen and you don't walk around saying dumb stuff like "oh they should have given me Anastasia" or trying to get money for a true medical mistake and how you always keep it 100
You’re quite an incredible and mature human being. It’s amazing how you acknowledge the fact that your experience isn’t cause we by negligence. Best of luck to you. Good luck in your journey
I have cried out more than ever in the past year . Talking to God believing He is all that. I am so glad you were able to pray during surgery. Thanks for sharing! Staying away from low cost out of country stories scare me, death and life is scariest. Hope all is well right now with you . You look so peaceful.
Toni I'm here in tears. Not sure why I wasn't getting notifications for your videos but I'm glad I found this. I've been researching BBL myself. As a woman of a certain age with 4 sons I work out religiously and eat great but there are stubborn spots that just won't go away. I've been watching several surgeons snap chats and inquiring with those who have got it done. You've really opened my eyes. I do want the surgery but it's good to hear about the aftermath that people don't talk about in order for me to try and be prepared for the what ifs. Thank you so much for your transparency and for your strength. I appreciate you so much! Hugs!
+Jasmine O'Day Hi sis!!! OMG I am so very delighted to hear this from you. I did this entire series for my sisters like you, in hopes that I can help answer questions that no one else is talking about. It blesses me to know that it was helpful to you. 😘❤😘
Yes. We needed this. You've been brave for us all. You know my age in getting this done has always been the very thing that concerns me. I've had breast augmentation before but that's not nearly as severe or as long. I'm still nervous which is natural but now a little more excited.
I thank God for his mercy, love, and grace especially for keeping you through that traumatic experience. I love seeing people share amazing testimonies but I pray you don't risk it all again.
Omg, I can't imagine how painful that was. Lipo is really brutal. I'm an ORT, and have assisted many of those, along with any surgery you could imagine. Bless your heart. I'm so sorry you had that experience. Maybe he forgot to turn on the gas.
Girl!!!!!! Thank you for this video! I needed to see this!!!! I've been considering this and I feel like God doesn't want me to and this was confirmation.
Thank you for sharing this story. I've been struggling with my religious beliefs as of late and this honestly has helped me come to a final conclusion about it. Your experience is something you shouldn't have ever been through but I truly appreciate you sharing. Sending much love to you.💜
I really love your way of looking at things. An attitude of gratitude, and seeing your blessings will give you the best way through life. I'm Jewish, and I want let you know that I believe you 100%. I've been delivered from some terrible medical news, just by my praying my heart out. My doctors were completely confused! They had no explanation.
Your so strong and also Ty for sharing this! I never had surgery but this scares the sh*t out of me so I can’t imagine what must gone through your mind at the time and the aftermath.
Thank U for sharing your story & your strength through God. When you can share your pain, it is the beginning of healing & Your story is already blessing someone. Thank U & God Bless. 🙏
Have been awake during most of my surgeries. Wisdom teeth, groin repair, juvenile canines, facial repair (broken nose, both cheekbones, upper jaw). No pain, just paralyzed but fully aware. During the groin repair, the doctor was telling jokes and I piped up with, "Hey, doc, I got one for ya!" Utter stillness in the OR. Doctor pokes me and says does this hurt. I say no. Anesthesiologist says more gas coming up. Paralyzed but still awake. Doctor finished, the anesthesiologist cut the gas and went to pure oxygen. Could instantly move and helped them get me off the table. When I needed knee surgery, I talked to the doctor prior to the surgery about this and they tried several drugs before settling on one. First time I've been totally knocked out. I often have my mind awake when my body is asleep.
I am just starting my journey of researching surgeons in California and was actually referred to Dr Smiley in the process. Thank you so much for being so transparent and sharing your experience. I also appreciate you for sharing your belief in God. There's definitely power in prayer. This is your testimony of the God we serve. Continue to be blessed and prosper.
Girl, you're so mature!♥️ So kind and so positive 💫 I am so proud of you, trust me. Your faith in Christ will take you places. Thankyou so much for sharing your experience with us, it was awakening!!💫 I love you♥️👑
I'm getting surgery monday for my galbladder watching this video took a turn towards God and when you said he may not always come when you want him to but he is always on time , I felt that ! He is an amazing God
I’ve been watching hundreds of these videos but yours is the most understandable because you don’t blame it on the doctors because it’s not their fault, I hope your alright now 💜💜
You're the realist person I've ever heard tell a story.. you're incredibly understanding, very intelligent and have realistic views and reasons.. your personality is an inspiration not to mention you're an incredibly beautiful woman.. definitely subscribing 😊 keep going girl ❤
+Ruth Ford Hi Ruth! Awww thank you so much for such a sweet comment. I greatly appreciate you and thanks for subscribing! Have a wonderful day sis 😘❤ and welcome to House of Haute!
God definitely helped you in that moment, sis. I love your strength and courage to share this story. Prayers is strong! God is soooo REAL. People better know. I love you!!! xoxoxoxo
God has answered MANY of my prayers, countless times. I hear you, I know He is real, and He is there. This story brought me chills and just reminds me how loving, loyal and amazing our God is!
the tears started rolling down my face with you! you are such a strong woman and that testimony is something that not a soul can't take away from you. goodness gracious! 😘😩🙏🏾 xoxo.
Ive had many medical surgeries like knee replacements, neck surgery, kidney stone removal surgery, I had a small piece of my liver removed, I mean basically my health sucks but usually my problem with anaesthesia is low blood pressure nd having trouble waking up after the surgery smh, I remember being in some sort of abyss sorta like lost in another realm or something, but I cannot imagine wat it was like to b awake babygirl smh oh my Lord!! Praise him!! Thanku for sharing nd being so transparent nd honest. I appreciate u talking bout this bcuz a lot of ppl dont. I think it takes courage nd ur someone who is empathetic nd selfless to let us in to ur life nd let us b a part of something so personal nd so downright scary. Ppl who want to sit here nd judge u are ignorant nd just plain dumb. This is YOUR story, YOUR truth, nd YOUR testimony nd whoever has a problem with it can go to another channel!! I am so glad that God put his hands on u nd took care of u. He never ever lets us down. I cannot imagine the sheer pain nd sheer terror that u went through smh Im emotional just listening to u. Im glad that u r alive nd well in Jesus' name...God bless nd take care...
Subscribed! I am so very sorry you went through this. This is really a huge fear of mine, even though I have no surgery that I am having. God love you! Your eyes are amazing.
Girl you moved me with the God thing and your faith. Now I feel bad for making nasty comments earlier without really knowing you, you are beautiful inside and out...
+Anna Kosheleva Hi Anna, thank you so much (more than you know) for coming back to share your comment. I appreciate you for that so much. Blessings sis ❤❤
I'm so glad you are okay 👌 and you are here and able to tell your story. I know you will do what's best for you and your situation. But I want you know GOD is with you and his angels 👼 are camped around you daily. Amen 🙏🏽
Omg! I can't lie and say this didn't freak me out! Especially because I'm scheduled to get Lipo by Dr Smiley next month. It's on a Monday so you'll probably be working there. I'm glad you shared your experience because I wasn't aware this was even possible. I've been under before twice but never woke up so I pray God covers me during this process.
You are so brave and so positive which is very admirable! You should be really proud of yourself for making it through this with such a positive mindset! I love your lipstick in this video too!! :)
YES! GIRL, GOD IS GOOD. WE ARE NOT PERFECT, GOD SAID HE WILL NEVER LEAVE US OR FORSAKE US. I am 44 years old, and just had my third son, and I hate looking in the mirror and now that I am older my body is not snapping back. Your story is miraculous, and I thank you for sharing your story. I serve a awesome God, as well. You have a great attitude. Can I see pictures of you before you had your surgery.
Can I just say your eyes are incredible and your makeup and everything about you is stunning. You're amazing. I am a firm believer in God and I was like "YES GURLLL" when you said your testimony! Thankyou for speaking out. I needed to hear something so encouraging. I'm so sorry you went through that, the idea gives me nightmares 😓 I had stitches without anaesthesia after giving birth naturally to my twins and that was bad enough. You're a strong woman. Thankyou so much for sharing as hard as it was ❤️
I've been dreading watching this video. I love your results but now I'm like so scared to get mines done..... Thank God your ok and pulled through... And as always your skin is so flawless. I like it better without makeup. But the makeup is still on fleek.
please stop adressing the haters, you dont need to explain urself. half of your video is talking to those people who will just hate on for no reason. dont waste ur time responding to negative coments.. notwithstanding, i thank you for sharing your story , it is very helpfull, you seem such a nice and brave woman. love
I am so sorry you had this experience, but I'm so glad it gave you an opportunity to testify to the love of God and Jesus. This whole video was so powerful.... It's amazing.
I also was awake during my c section could feel being cut and lots of pulling and tugging. I could not scream out because I had an airway down my throat. It was terrifying. I’ll never forget it. I too am a Christian. I completely understand and sympathize with you. I love you in Christ.
I don't comment on videos, but just want to tell you I can feel your kindness and I'm impressed with how well you've been able to deal with what happened. No wonder you are blessed. Stay sweet
Thank you for sharing your story. I appreciate your honesty about this, especially since so many IG models deceive young girls and make them think their bodies are natural, which only creates disappointment for these same young girls trying to achieve their bodies through exercise and can't. I also appreciate the message from God that you delivered through this video. Bless you, and you are beautiful
Thank you for sharing your story... it helped me a lot knowing things that no one really talks about. I watch you on Snap and it looks like you brighten up that office every day you show up for work. Thanks again for sharing and may God continue to bless you 🙏🏻💕😘
You are really brave and thank you for sharing. The world needs more people like you. You are also smart and because you understand the experience of going through sonething like this. And hey, Maybe it was a good thing that you were halfway concious because it was safe that way in someways, if you understand what i mean. God is good!
I love you girl and thanks for sharing your experience, it literally made me cry! God's love is powerful! I love watching your videos you're amazing and beautiful 🤗 xx
I'm so glad you shared your testimony. I have not experienced waking up during surgery but I have experienced a medical emergency. In my situation, I whispered to God and He responded immediately so I know too that He is with us.

Hey sis! AMEN! Thank you, thank you for sharing your experience with all us as well! Together we can inspire and encourage our other sisters. :) I love you!
PS: Later this spring I'm finally gonna do that meet up. I hope you'll be able to come. DM me your email on IG the next time you're on it so I'll have it to keep you updated.
Girl you said a mouthful (Testimony) " HE MAY NOT COME WHEN YOU WANT HIM BUT HE IS ALWAYS ON TIME. AMEM AND AMEN.
Amen!

My heart just breaks for you that this happened. I'm so glad you knew to call on your Creator.
I know God will heal you from this trauma you experienced. Thanks for sharing your story of crying out to God in your times of desperation, very powerful!
Wow. People are so quick to tell people to sue! MEDICINE ISN'T INFALLIBLE. There are always risks associated with surgery and I'm so glad that she is educated enough to realize that.

Imani Brown I agree, especially since this was elective surgery.
Hey Imani! Thank you sis! I greatly appreciate your comments and agree with you 100%! And AMEN! He is always on time! ;)
I agree with you all the way.
This story gave me the chill , that is why surgery kinda freeks me out . Cause I bet I'm gonna be that person that is awake. And if that would have happen to I probably would have to get therapy . You are such a strong person to be able to share your story and make it through .

You are EXACTLY right. Thank you for sharing that. People love to scream sue but don't really know what that means in it's entirety. :)

I'm not a believer in religions but your faith in God is beautiful and in this moment I needed to hear this. Thanks for sharing your story.

I love that you shared your story and I love that you shared the love of God.

We searched all over the beach and in the murky water deep and shallow and we couldn’t find them. As it was just about to get dark, I stopped and prayed. I asked God to “please let me find the keys so we could go home”. “Just please let me find them, I beg you”. I was on the verge of giving up the search and this was my last ditch effort. We had been searching for about 30/45 minutes already with no luck. As soon as I finished my prayer I reached down into the murky water one more time and felt something. I thought it was probably a rock or part of a coconut but as I began to pull it up I noticed it was the keys we’d been searching for. I cried out in disbelief to my husband that I had found the keys and I thanked God for listening and allowing me the help I needed to find those them. I honestly don’t think I would have found them if I hadn’t stopped and asked God for help. So in conclusion I do believe he is always there and always listening. Faith is Key!!
girl ur videos are quality and we can see you put a lot of energy and effort and consciousness into your platform...Don't even concern yourself when you receive mean hateful comments, chances are you could be stressing over the comment from a 14 year old stupid boy or some low self esteem individual....everybody in your tribe is smart, intelligent, and gracious and would never leave a negative comment on your page or any other page
You are like my rock I swear sis! Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing this story. I was thinking about doing this and I have also awakened during surgery before and truly understand where you are coming from. YES God is awesome and always there when you truly need Him. Keep sharing your stories because you are helping others.
God is always there if you call to him, when i was 12 i was a healthy child i did gymnastics and soccer and i got sick so did my siblings and all of them got over except me not about 6 weeks later i was flown to Houston to the childrens hospital and told i had a week to live unless i had a transplant. it usauly takes 7 years to have a transplant, The docters listed me as 1A and i had a liver transplant in two days becuase i prayed to God the whole time and i went to pic u right after surgery and in less than 24 hours they moved me back to the floor i was on. Trust in our lord and he will help those who beleive. Im glad you made through this.
Toni, the Lord has kept me over and over again and I give Him Praise!!
Thank you for your transparency and testimony!!! May you continue to heal 100%!!!!TFS!!!
+SeasonedDiva #1 Hi sis!! Yessss! Amen to all of that! God is just truly amazing. ❤😘

I am a firm believer in God.This was so informative to those out there and myself who is wanting a tt & bbl.Pray,Pray,Pray he always listening
Amen sis!! Pray pray pray... He is always listening.
Praise God you made it out of that surgery. I'm a believer but it's people sharing their testimonies that sometimes reminds you God hears our prayers. I ran across this story I got on RUclips to look for something different and came across this and I'm so thankful. You look amazing and I pray that this situation works out for your good. God Bless! I've liked and subscribed. Get it girl!
+phatnfabulous Meka Hi sis!! Thanks so much for blessing me with your comment. I'm truly thankful to know that you appreciated the video and message. That makes it all worth it. ❤😘
I'm so unbelievably glad that your body was finally able to break through the paralytic enough to get the anesthesiologist's attention. Your determination and your love and trust in God was so beautiful to hear about, and I'm genuinely moved by the way you recounted your experience.
+Danika Fernandez Hi sis! Thank you so much for blessing me with your comment. Many blessings to you. ❤😘
Gosh this made me cry so much. I'm so so sorry you had to experience that pain. You are strong !
I still want all my surgeries but girlll I'm freaked about your experience! I'm glad you are acting like a grown up about the situation regardless of the experience! Thank you for your video! I Love my God and I believe you hands down he came to your rescue!!!
I actually woke up during surgery as well. Shortly after waking up, I started to moan and the anesthesiologist heard and administered more of the medicine. Thankfully all I felt was the in and out motion of the catheter with no pain. It's just weird to me how they didn't notice your vital signs. I'm sure your heart rate was through the roof. Sorry you had to go through this and I'm glad you are able to tell your story.
I was thinking the same thing - that the heartbeat would be through the roof since the heart wouldn't have been paralyzed by the meds!
There are signs they can tell if you’re awake well they are supposed to..,
Hi. I was scrolling through you tube this morning and ran into your video...First, I would like to Thank You for sharing such a terrifying expirience,, as I continued to listen you speak on how much pain you were feeling I could not even imagine how scared you must've felt.....I am a strong believer of my God...and I truly could feel the love. The empathy ...as you were speaking and it reached and touched my heart....I am very happy that you pulled through that difficult time in your life and that God heard your prayer...because there is truly A God!!! and he came at the right time of your need.....I am scheduled to have a bbl liposuction this year in Miami bbl....in April...I am scared and nervous but I trust in God that all will go well...I'm trying to stay focus. Doing alot of research and been listening to many videos on how to prep for this ....I Thank you again for your video...videos...and don't listen to such negativity .unfortunately we live in a truly different world nowadays!! Keep the Faith. Stay Strong and God Bless you.....Not only are you beautiful in the outside but beautiful in the inside...🙏🙏🙏🙏❤
This is my BIGGEST fear going into surgery
This was very inspiring and i love how you worded and explained everything
You are such gorgeus woman! So mature and powerfull. I adore your channel!
+Валерия Р. Thank you sis! ❤❤😘
@@HouseOfHaute hello!!! Can we chat??
Hi Toni, I'm just seeing this. It seems like your blood pressure should have gone up because of the pain level. I wonder what happened. Im happy that you made it through. It is awesome that you have a testimony. God bless you. Happy healing.
it’s so amazing that an experience can bring someone to faith. this is beautiful ❤️
I love your positivity and faith in God, how smart you are knowing what can happen and you don't walk around saying dumb stuff like "oh they should have given me Anastasia" or trying to get money for a true medical mistake and how you always keep it 100
You’re quite an incredible and mature human being. It’s amazing how you acknowledge the fact that your experience isn’t cause we by negligence. Best of luck to you. Good luck in your journey
I have cried out more than ever in the past year . Talking to God believing He is all that. I am so glad you were able to pray during surgery. Thanks for sharing! Staying away from low cost out of country stories scare me, death and life is scariest. Hope all is well right now with you . You look so peaceful.
Thank you for your testimony! Sometimes I find myself straying away but it’s the testimonies of others that keep me near ❤️ Thank you so much
I’m so sorry that happened to you and the little I heard my skin literally went cold and numb I cannot sit through this video. I am lost for words.
Toni I'm here in tears. Not sure why I wasn't getting notifications for your videos but I'm glad I found this. I've been researching BBL myself. As a woman of a certain age with 4 sons I work out religiously and eat great but there are stubborn spots that just won't go away. I've been watching several surgeons snap chats and inquiring with those who have got it done. You've really opened my eyes. I do want the surgery but it's good to hear about the aftermath that people don't talk about in order for me to try and be prepared for the what ifs. Thank you so much for your transparency and for your strength. I appreciate you so much! Hugs!
+Jasmine O'Day Hi sis!!! OMG I am so very delighted to hear this from you. I did this entire series for my sisters like you, in hopes that I can help answer questions that no one else is talking about. It blesses me to know that it was helpful to you. 😘❤😘
Yes. We needed this. You've been brave for us all. You know my age in getting this done has always been the very thing that concerns me. I've had breast augmentation before but that's not nearly as severe
or as long. I'm still nervous which is natural but now a little more excited.
I thank God for his mercy, love, and grace especially for keeping you through that traumatic experience. I love seeing people share amazing testimonies but I pray you don't risk it all again.
Omg, I can't imagine how painful that was. Lipo is really brutal. I'm an ORT, and have assisted many of those, along with any surgery you could imagine. Bless your heart. I'm so sorry you had that experience. Maybe he forgot to turn on the gas.
Girl!!!!!! Thank you for this video! I needed to see this!!!! I've been considering this and I feel like God doesn't want me to and this was confirmation.
All I can say is girlllll!!! I got chills listening to your story. That is horrifying. Praise God for delivering you from that pain!!!
Thank you for sharing this story. I've been struggling with my religious beliefs as of late and this honestly has helped me come to a final conclusion about it. Your experience is something you shouldn't have ever been through but I truly appreciate you sharing. Sending much love to you.💜
I really love your way of looking at things. An attitude of gratitude, and seeing your blessings will give you the best way through life. I'm Jewish, and I want let you know that I believe you 100%. I've been delivered from some terrible medical news, just by my praying my heart out. My doctors were completely confused! They had no explanation.
So scary! You are very brave. I'm amazed how you haven't let this traumatize you. You're a freaking hero!
Your so strong and also Ty for sharing this! I never had surgery but this scares the sh*t out of me so I can’t imagine what must gone through your mind at the time and the aftermath.
Thank U for sharing your story & your strength through God.
When you can share your pain, it is the beginning of healing &
Your story is already blessing someone.
Thank U & God Bless.
🙏
OMG... that sounds so terrifying... it's so wonderful that above it all, you are still here
So sorry you went through that… Glad you’re here to tell your testimony Glory Be To God
Have been awake during most of my surgeries. Wisdom teeth, groin repair, juvenile canines, facial repair (broken nose, both cheekbones, upper jaw). No pain, just paralyzed but fully aware. During the groin repair, the doctor was telling jokes and I piped up with, "Hey, doc, I got one for ya!" Utter stillness in the OR. Doctor pokes me and says does this hurt. I say no. Anesthesiologist says more gas coming up. Paralyzed but still awake. Doctor finished, the anesthesiologist cut the gas and went to pure oxygen. Could instantly move and helped them get me off the table. When I needed knee surgery, I talked to the doctor prior to the surgery about this and they tried several drugs before settling on one. First time I've been totally knocked out. I often have my mind awake when my body is asleep.
Had me teary eyed! This touched my heart and I'm rejoicing with you that you are still alive!
I am just starting my journey of researching surgeons in California and was actually referred to Dr Smiley in the process.
Thank you so much for being so transparent and sharing your experience. I also appreciate you for sharing your belief in God. There's definitely power in prayer. This is your testimony of the God we serve.
Continue to be blessed and prosper.
Toni your shared your story about the pain you went through, you also shared your testimony that God is real! Amen!
Girl, you're so mature!♥️ So kind and so positive 💫 I am so proud of you, trust me. Your faith in Christ will take you places. Thankyou so much for sharing your experience with us, it was awakening!!💫 I love you♥️👑
I'm getting surgery monday for my galbladder watching this video took a turn towards God and when you said he may not always come when you want him to but he is always on time , I felt that ! He is an amazing God
I never usually leave comments but after watching this video I had to. Power of prayer is real.
Toni, 24 minutes passed by like 1!!!! You are amazing!! Can you please make a video about your pregnancies, labor, how did you loose weight??
Hi sis!!! So awesome to hear from you!! Thank you! I will def consider doing a story time on that topic.
I’ve been watching hundreds of these videos but yours is the most understandable because you don’t blame it on the doctors because it’s not their fault, I hope your alright now 💜💜
You're the realist person I've ever heard tell a story.. you're incredibly understanding, very intelligent and have realistic views and reasons.. your personality is an inspiration not to mention you're an incredibly beautiful woman.. definitely subscribing 😊 keep going girl ❤
+Ruth Ford Hi Ruth! Awww thank you so much for such a sweet comment. I greatly appreciate you and thanks for subscribing! Have a wonderful day sis 😘❤ and welcome to House of Haute!
I love your story, you are very positive and informative. I appreciate you.
God definitely helped you in that moment, sis. I love your strength and courage to share this story. Prayers is strong! God is soooo REAL. People better know. I love you!!! xoxoxoxo
That's horrifying! Praise God that He's healing you and giving you strength in areas that you may be weak. Thanks for sharing your testimony 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Hey sis!! AMEN!! Thank you so much!
Whew, thanks for opening up and sharing. Yes God is good!
Amen sis!
Saddened u were through that pain...Glad you share your testimony! You are gorgeous and surgery looked great!
Beautiful how this experience got you closer to the lord.. as hard as it was.. i am glad you cherish it.. beautiful story!
God has answered MANY of my prayers, countless times. I hear you, I know He is real, and He is there. This story brought me chills and just reminds me how loving, loyal and amazing our God is!
the tears started rolling down my face with you! you are such a strong woman and that testimony is something that not a soul can't take away from you. goodness gracious! 😘😩🙏🏾 xoxo.
Ive had many medical surgeries like knee replacements, neck surgery, kidney stone removal surgery, I had a small piece of my liver removed, I mean basically my health sucks but usually my problem with anaesthesia is low blood pressure nd having trouble waking up after the surgery smh, I remember being in some sort of abyss sorta like lost in another realm or something, but I cannot imagine wat it was like to b awake babygirl smh oh my Lord!! Praise him!! Thanku for sharing nd being so transparent nd honest. I appreciate u talking bout this bcuz a lot of ppl dont. I think it takes courage nd ur someone who is empathetic nd selfless to let us in to ur life nd let us b a part of something so personal nd so downright scary. Ppl who want to sit here nd judge u are ignorant nd just plain dumb. This is YOUR story, YOUR truth, nd YOUR testimony nd whoever has a problem with it can go to another channel!! I am so glad that God put his hands on u nd took care of u. He never ever lets us down. I cannot imagine the sheer pain nd sheer terror that u went through smh Im emotional just listening to u. Im glad that u r alive nd well in Jesus' name...God bless nd take care...
Subscribed! I am so very sorry you went through this. This is really a huge fear of mine, even though I have no surgery that I am having. God love you! Your eyes are amazing.
Girl you moved me with the God thing and your faith. Now I feel bad for making nasty comments earlier without really knowing you, you are beautiful inside and out...
+Anna Kosheleva Hi Anna, thank you so much (more than you know) for coming back to share your comment. I appreciate you for that so much. Blessings sis ❤❤
You are so beautiful!! Your story is ❤ breaking I can’t imagine all that pain you went through 😮
I'm so glad you are okay 👌 and you are here and able to tell your story. I know you will do what's best for you and your situation. But I want you know GOD is with you and his angels 👼 are camped around you daily. Amen 🙏🏽
Thank you so much sis! I love you!!
Omg! I can't lie and say this didn't freak me out! Especially because I'm scheduled to get Lipo by Dr Smiley next month. It's on a Monday so you'll probably be working there. I'm glad you shared your experience because I wasn't aware this was even possible. I've been under before twice but never woke up so I pray God covers me during this process.
THANK YOU...YOU HAVE HELP ME ...I BEEN THINKING ABOUT....AND I BEEN PRAYING ON IT....THANK YOU SO MUCH...
I watched this video last year, I’m rewatching it again now and you are STUNNING and SO MUCH RESPECT for you getting through this 🙏😻
Thank you for this. I hope you’re doing well today. Happy new year. 🎊
Thank you so much for this testimony! I really needed to hear that He is real and always on time 🙏
You have an amazing outlook on this. I've never seen any of your stuff, but I think this says it all. You're amazing! God bless you & your family!💕
You are so brave and so positive which is very admirable! You should be really proud of yourself for making it through this with such a positive mindset! I love your lipstick in this video too!! :)
Thank you sis!! That really means a lot to me. PS: The Lipstick is by the Lip Bar. It's the Tiramisu Toffee lacquer color.
You are a strong woman. I’m so sorry to know you had to go through this. It was painful to hear.
YES! GIRL, GOD IS GOOD. WE ARE NOT PERFECT, GOD SAID HE WILL NEVER LEAVE US OR FORSAKE US. I am 44 years old, and just had my third son, and I hate looking in the mirror and now that I am older my body is not snapping back. Your story is miraculous, and I thank you for sharing your story. I serve a awesome God, as well. You have a great attitude. Can I see pictures of you before you had your surgery.
Can I just say your eyes are incredible and your makeup and everything about you is stunning. You're amazing. I am a firm believer in God and I was like "YES GURLLL" when you said your testimony! Thankyou for speaking out. I needed to hear something so encouraging. I'm so sorry you went through that, the idea gives me nightmares 😓 I had stitches without anaesthesia after giving birth naturally to my twins and that was bad enough. You're a strong woman. Thankyou so much for sharing as hard as it was ❤️
Thank God you made it through to give your testimony! So sorry you had to experience that!
Four years later your story still rings true. God Bless You.
I've been dreading watching this video. I love your results but now I'm like so scared to get mines done..... Thank God your ok and pulled through... And as always your skin is so flawless. I like it better without makeup. But the makeup is still on fleek.
Thank you for being open about this, and your spiritual experience. I appreciate that a lot
Thank you for educating and being brave!
please stop adressing the haters, you dont need to explain urself. half of your video is talking to those people who will just hate on for no reason. dont waste ur time responding to negative coments..
notwithstanding, i thank you for sharing your story , it is very helpfull, you seem such a nice and brave woman. love
omg this is not what i expected from this video but it was amazing .. 🙌🏽👏🏽🙏🏽
o my gosh I'm so sorry I'm glad you are now able to share your story you are very brave! 💕💕🎉
I am so sorry you had this experience, but I'm so glad it gave you an opportunity to testify to the love of God and Jesus. This whole video was so powerful.... It's amazing.
I also was awake during my c section could feel being cut and lots of pulling and tugging. I could not scream out because I had an airway down my throat. It was terrifying. I’ll never forget it. I too am a Christian. I completely understand and sympathize with you. I love you in Christ.
I don't comment on videos, but just want to tell you I can feel your kindness and I'm impressed with how well you've been able to deal with what happened. No wonder you are blessed. Stay sweet
Thank you for sharing your story. I appreciate your honesty about this, especially since so many IG models deceive young girls and make them think their bodies are natural, which only creates disappointment for these same young girls trying to achieve their bodies through exercise and can't. I also appreciate the message from God that you delivered through this video. Bless you, and you are beautiful
Thank you for sharing your story... it helped me a lot knowing things that no one really talks about. I watch you on Snap and it looks like you brighten up that office every day you show up for work. Thanks again for sharing and may God continue to bless you 🙏🏻💕😘
Thanks for sharing your story with us. I'm glad you pulled through everything.
You are really brave and thank you for sharing. The world needs more people like you. You are also smart and because you understand the experience of going through sonething like this. And hey, Maybe it was a good thing that you were halfway concious because it was safe that way in someways, if you understand what i mean. God is good!
You have me in tears! (Hugs) ❤❤❤
Hey sis! Thank you for the hugs. xo
I love you girl and thanks for sharing your experience, it literally made me cry! God's love is powerful! I love watching your videos you're amazing and beautiful 🤗 xx
+alina achim Hi Alina (looove your name)! Thanks sis, I'm glad you enjoyed watching. Yes God's love is beautiful and powerful! 😘❤
