My phone consult with Dr J and his staff exceeded my expectations. After a recent divorce and total new lease on life, I've decided to "do me". I'm a LUPUS survivor of 10 years and I want to celebrate it. Once I get medical clearance, I will be reserving my date.The thought of elective surgery may sound crazy to some ppl but to me, it's a chance worth taking.

title of the post has changed. I'm officially scheduled for my transformation Dec 4- 2 WEEKS!!! I'm going with Dr Okoro because he has worked with Lupus patients before, he has more to offer, and does the procedure with you awake- lessens the recovery time. My before is horrible but I'm considering posting. I'll post my journey when it begins.

OMG!! U neva know how useful your butt is until u can't sit in it. I have been creative but this is for the birds.
I JUST WANNA SIT DOWN!!! LOL
I am officially off my antibiotics & pain meds. I have no bruising & surgical sites are beginning to form scabs. I don't have wi-fi & the pics are taking forever to load so I'll have to do it when I get home- tomorrow. I can't wait!!

3 weeks after surgery & I feel amazing. Still with some swelling & tenderness in my abdominal area & flanks but overall, feeling good. The hardness to my butt continues to decrease & it's beginning to feel more natural. I still can't sit for extended periods of time but I'm getting used to it. The abdominal binder will force you to have split personalities but it's well worth it.

BEAUTY IS PAIN!!

4 weeks post op- doing good. I still have swelling to my flanks, lower abs and lower back- but not much. My butt is soft and jiggly with only a few sections still hard and healing. My boyfriend told me it's gonna take him a while to get used to me having booty, he had accepted I would never have any-lol. All soreness to my abdominal area is gone but my flanks are still very very sensitive. My hips are still sore but since I still can't sleep on it, I only feel it when I turn over. I've been told- you didn't need to have surgery. I've been told- that's a waste of money. I've been told- that makes no sense. But at the end of the day, even with me still healing, I am happy and satisfied. The only downside is I cannot wear any of my cothes. They fit my butt to perfection but the waist is sooo big, even a belt does not work. After healing it'll be time for shopping. Just in time for the summer!!

It's been two months since my BBL with Dr Okoro. All of the swelling is gone and I'm loving the new me. This surgery has given me a new found confidence that I've never had or ever imagined having. I'm working on getting my tummy tuck by the end of the year. I can't stay out the mirror looking at my slim waste and natural looking booty. I'VE CREATED A MONSTER!

Great review?

millz34043 6 Mar 2013

NYcutie 10 Jan 2013
Hey miss lady checking in on you. How are you feeling?
butterflykisses2624 10 Jan 2013
feeling good, thanks. i have my 6 week f/u monday so I'm prepping for that. cannot wait to get the all clear to sit down forever. I'm taking the bus to ATL & flying back. Uma said I'll be fine sine it will only be 3 days away from 6 weeks. i have some concern with my very lower ab not staying in the wrap so it is not going down like the rest of my stomach. but that area still appears to be swollen to me so I'll let the experts look at it. maybe we can meet up when I'm out there. i get in saturday night
NYcutie 10 Jan 2013
Hey lady where are you staying? ? Lets do dinner. U probably not doing it tight enough. Will show you what I do to get it to stay. U may need to order a new cincher its $5. Glad ur doing well inbox me ur#
butterflykisses2624 10 Jan 2013
I'll be staying by my sister. i dont know the street or area but she literally lives down the street 15 mins from the atlanta office- no turns, just straight. i purchased a new marena binder a few weeks ago. i wear the old & new at the same time. i'll send u my #
NYcutie 10 Jan 2013
Ok we can do a late dinner at red lobster on the corner of EW Connector since that's close by your sister. Ok cool
NYcutie 2 Jan 2013
Girl u look sooo good!!!
butterflykisses2624 2 Jan 2013
thank you. still waiting for my lower ab to go down some more. also a awkward dent has formed in my stomack- possibly from the garment causing a crease when i sit down. i hope its not permanent. i'll wait til week after next and let Okoro advise me from there. i really do have a new found confidence. now i need to get a life & get out the house more. that's too much money to sit on the sofa 24/7-lol
NYcutie 2 Jan 2013
Lol girl ur crazy! !! Wear your garment then put on belly cincher, it will keep crease away
butterflykisses2624 2 Jan 2013
my garment is way to big- should get the new 1 tomorrow. i'll send a pic of it to your in box
butterflykisses2624 2 Jan 2013
oh well. can't send pics to in box. trust me- it's awkward
NYcutie 2 Jan 2013
Really mine was an xl it got big at about week 4. My booty stretched it..lol. That small stage 2 is gonna be tight n kill ya..lol.
butterflykisses2624 2 Jan 2013
i'm in a medium, she ordered me a small. the medium is not holding anything but my butt & thighs- its useless on my upper area. i'll see tomorrow
NYcutie 2 Jan 2013
Its tight girl covers your whole back and up to your boobs. Trust me u gonna feel like a stuffed sausage..lol. I have a pic of it on my profile.
butterflykisses2624 2 Jan 2013
ok. got a question. when i wrap with the binder, it doesnt cover my lower ab. when i pull it down, then it bunches on the side & pinches cause pain & discomfort so then i find myself unwrapping & re-wrapping several times a day. will the stage 2 compress the lower abd close to the va-jay-jay?
NYcutie 3 Jan 2013
It should cover lower area just above vajayjay. When you put it on wrap the bottom piece low down towards that area. The middle piece should catch u right across belly button and top dhoukd be under boobs area.. stage 2 small snaps at crotch but it covets vajayjay all the way up undet your boobd and covers ur entire back area. Look at my pics to see what it looks like. U may need to buy a new binder, I had to because when it wrinkled it hurt and left marks.. you may need to have somrone I wrap you. Its not tight enough so it starts to move. My work partner wrapped me when I got to work really tighy and it stayed all day.
butterflykisses2624 4 Jan 2013
so i got my stage 2- no snaps in the crotch, pretty much like stage 1 but muuuccchhh tighter. i didnt know how i was gonna get it pass these thighs lol. so how do i massage with this one? there is no way i can take this on/off 3 times/day. i'm already dreading to have to make #2 & trying to squeeze out of it.
NYcutie 4 Jan 2013
Lmao girl ur so funny. I know the feeling u were struggling like I was. My thighs are big so I feel your pain. You can still massage your stomach just pull it down past ur belly button and do your massage like regular. Your not suppose to massage your butt so just pulling it down to vajay jay should be good. Its gonna be hell though to get it back up after massage. I need to tak my 6 months postop pics and post. Im going back to get my inner thighs done since I couldn't get it done ay time of surgery.
butterflykisses2624 4 Jan 2013
when i pulled it down i felt like i was smothering. i'll just have to massage at night after i shower because pulling this up/down wont work. plus like my original post said, i have lupus & winter is horrible on my bones. i'm looking forward to getting thru the next 2 weeks so i can sleep on my sides & back because that has been hard also. when ur joints are stiff its diffucult to turn over just to get out of bed
