Brazilian Butt Lift: Stories

I really just want to lose my sponge bob shape. I have a long flattish butt and I'm hoping to get my waist and back taken in and my butt and hips shaped. I already have thick thighs so I hoping to obtain more of an hourglass figure ;). I've had only one child, a baby boy two years ago and although I plan to have more... Probably not until the next four/five years (keeping fingers crossed) but until then I want to walk around and flaunt my figure.

I lurked and researched and research and lurked and found rave reviews about Dr. Yily in the DR so after seeing some impressive before and afters I decided to shoot her an email.

Here's my stats
168 lb
5'2
36C-34-44
Arms are the issue as well, there 15 inches around.
My pants are a 10 but my thick arms are a 14 to 16 jacket.

Goal
140 lb
36C-29-44
And thin arms

I contacted Yily in the beginning of December and finally got a confirmed date for March 26th a Month later (jan 1st, happy new year,lol). I showed her my pics which I am hesitant to post... And she suggested I get a tummy tuck however I told her I wanted to stick with just lipo. (Reminder I did have a baby, which left me a bit stretched out .... But the recovery from the C section was too much so I'm not looking forward to being cut open and sewn together again. Her quote of $3100 is for liposculpture to the arms, back, flanks and stomach and fat graft to butt. I really just want a more shapely rare rather then a big ole dunk. I would like a buddy to stay with because my boyfriend is really not to happy about me turning our vacation into a makeover travel.

I plan on dragging my hubby out there on the 20th, vacation until the 26th, let Yily work her magic then leave on the 30th. I may stay in the recovery house or in one of the houses my father has out there (a villa and a cottage house).

So, I just booked my ticket to DR still not sure where I'll be staying. Any pointers let me know!

Sooooo.... I booked my flight, and paid my deposit. I nervous but I guess after all that's already done can't turn back now!

So, was having trouble with my deposit paid through western union, Yily finally got her paypal set up so I finally sent her a deposit via paypal and got confirmation that it was received. Right now got a month and about two weeks before sx ... Yikes! Anyway I got all of my vitamins and I am going to go to my doctor and see if I can get a perscription for the mess that Yily has listed for me to get, if getting the, from Yily comes out cheaper, then I'll wait and just buy them from her. I'm also going to shoot over to Amazon.com and prepare a list of things, supplies, meds for my trip. Will post what the list soon.

So as of now I'll be staying at Jacquline's recovery house.....March 26th through the 3rd. I've been speaking with a girl from real self and we plan to buddy up, i think she comes in after me though.

Sorry for the bite sized pic of my shopping list... thats as big as I can get it. Either way, I've narrowed it down to a few things, minus the little things that I'll be able to pick up from my local pharmacy or target...

What I Have
-Dial Soap
-Target Brand Scar Gel
-Faja, size small (ordered)
-Stomach board, lipoexpress.com size medium (ordered)

Still on my To get list
*mostly all these items are for post opt.
- Arnica Montana (for post op swelling, I read you have to take 3, 3 times a day.
-Bromelain 600 i.e Natural pineapple chewable.
-Lipo foam ( to keep garment from folding into my skin)
-MSM lotion, just love this stuff really good for skin elasticity
-go girl female urination device (used to pee standing)

Also.... I never listed all of the info for the pre s vitamins I'm taking... here goes
as per Yily, "Before surgery-You should start taking vitamins, B complex, ferrous sulfate, folic acid, vitamin C"

-Preferred Plus Liquid Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Elixer) Probably going to start adding "iron rich foods into my diet as well
-Now liquids B Complex (not pictured)
-1st Step Pro Wellness, Liquid Multivitamin & Mineral ( Among it's 71 vitamins, it has the vitamin C and the flolic acid that I need.

I also take
-Emergen C MSM with vitamin C
-Neocell Collagen (will probably stop using this now and begin taking it again post surgery to have build skin elasticity.

As you can see, I prefer to take my vitamins in liquid or powder form. I mix it up in the morning, when I remember, with orange juice diluted with water, any other typeof juice, or plain water.

Soooooo..... I'm kicking myself right now! That damn faja that I bought, you know the size small... May just be a bit too small. I think I'm gonna try to sell it, so if anyone needs a size small faja pm me. I'm a little pissed because I jumped the gun and wasted my money. I ordered the garment, then Yily reminded me that I would need a medium garment instead. On top of all that the small garment still isn't here and I ordered it 10 days ago... And communication between caribbeanshape.com SUCKS!

Woooooooosahhhhh (excuse me while I gather my thoughts....)
Okay, so I've been on here every day reading post opt stories and for the most part women have been in super pain! What's crazy is the fact that as much as I read the painful recovery stories the more I want to go through it and feel my body heal and recover and of course watch my body transform before my eyes. I am super excited, super anxious, nervous, and simply can't wait to be on the other side. As of now, I have about a month and a week until I am transformed. I am considering prepaying for the sx probably a week or two prior to my arrival via paypal so I'm not walking around with wads of cash, I don't see why Yily should have an issue with that, but I'll ask her to be sure.

Hey all! Almost a month away... (Nervous, anxious, scared, happy, sad) So im getting my last minute items for my trip. Ordered most of my supplies through Amazon, and will post pics when they arrive. On another note *RANT* DONOT ORDER FROM CARIBBEANSHAPE.COM!!!!!! My garment has not arrive since I last posted that i ordered it from the site. Online it says 5-7 business days delivery time and its going on two weeks. I've tried calling the number posted on the site and no answer after several attempts! I emailed them and Lillyam told me that she has been having some family trouble

I am still looking for a buddy! Anyone going alone around March 26th and want to buddy up please pm me.

Boy was DR a trying experience! I'm okay, just really busy. Healing, swollen, listening to my body abd recovering well! Will post my story ....a very long one of my trails and tribulations as soon as I get the chance. Posted before and afters, 3 weeks post op.
