I am 5'2 145 pounds. I have always had an athletic build with no curves. The more I workout the smaller my butt appears. I always wanted to get this procedure but have been scared. I have finally chosen a doctor after numerous consultations. His chairside manner and his honesty is why I chose him. He is going to give me the S curve I desire. I don't have enough fat to get the exact look I want but at least I should be more sculpted. Just started vitamins after my preop appointment today. I'm scared..wish me luck!!

Finally finished picking up all my items I need for healing and comfort poat surgery. Havent worked out at all and been eating like a pig. Its been fun. 5 days to go!
I just happened to see my big exercise ball. I sat on it open legged with my butt hanging off. I also layed on my stomach on it. Iy seems to b pretty comfortable. I wondered why no one ever mentioned this. Has anyone ever tried that?

Hey. Everything is good. Did a light workout. Went out. Could only wear stretch jeans. Feeling pretty good. Hope this swelling goes away.lol how are u?

Glad your doing good. Im fine, just having a hard time staying away from salty foods, it seems like now I crave salt even more than before my sx. Also very itchy on my butt. Other than that just counting the days until I can finally sit, 4 more weeks on wednesday so cant wait. My brusies have gone away and my incisions have finally closed, im putting a prescription grade skin lighter to fade the blemishes.Trying my best to have my new body like as normal as possible before my husband sees me for the first time in 4 weeks....he miltary. Happy healing twin xoxooxxo

It's crazy I feel the exact same as you I think my surgeon was conservative also which is why he gave me small amounts of fat!!!! Sad face hope we have good results

Hey MI in the house! Did you get yours done yet?
AlohaLisia 21 Apr 2012
No, not yet. I'm thinking of going to Dr. MICHELLE HARDAWAY, M.D.,F.A.C.S. here in MI. I really don't want to go out of state for a surgery. :/
