I will be a BBL vet this time next week! My blood work and medical clearance are completed. Hiring a health aide today. BBL with Dr. DiMario comes with 20 massages so they have to be booked today. Ordered my squeem. Also ordered a foldaway bed with memory foam. Our bed is too high. Plus, I do not want to stain our linens or mattress. Reviewing my favorite BBL reviews for shopping essentials. Goal is to finalize shopping tonight. Today's emotion is a blend of excited stress. On a brighter note, my husband and I are doing better. Thank you to my fellow BBL Sisters. Your advice and encouragement has been priceless.

Hi ladies, Im from Delaware and im going crazy trying to look for a dr that is an expert in bbl. I was thinking Dr. Salama but his next available appt is in Jan, 2014!!! thats wayyy to far for me. Then I was thinking Dr. Perry but it is just too far away for me since its in FL. I have twins and I dont think I cant stay away for more than 4 days. :( I was thinking Dr. Dimario but I dont see many after pics. Have any of you ladies had the procedure done there? did you like the final results? Im getting so stressed out about this journey. Please help!!!!!

This journey has been an emotional rollercoaster. Happy. Nervous. Scared. Hyped. Stressed. Excited. I'm all over the place. Thankful for Dr. DiMario and his staff. They are all patient and kind and understanding. I have been calling and asking zillions of questions. They will talk until there is clarity. No rushing. Today was one of those non-stop questions days. I met with the anesthesiologist and all I can say is that although I am anxious, I am overjoyed that he is handling my OR care. He went over my consent forms and told me what to expect before, during and after sx. He even gave tips on managing pain for the massages. I then met with the nurse to fill out more forms. She was the best. She showed me pics of the most recent BBL work and ensured that I would love my results. The funny thing was that, with each post-op pic I wanted to know how many cc's were used. lol Guess not too many patients are on Real Self .

My husband was not supportive at ALL at first. We had never been apart for more than a couple of days. He went from anger, to grudging acceptance, to understanding and finally being very helpful. Now, he is enjoying the new me! BB2 hit it right, he was afraid of change and of the unknown. It's important not to lose your cool, but to also stand your ground. I also had Dr. Markmann talk to him a couple of times to ease his worry. Doc M was very good about that.

What a great idea! I will have Dr. DiMario talk to him. Honestly, he was not a part of the decision making process. I walked in the house one day and sprung it on him. I am now, realizing how disconnected he must feel. Also, disrespected.

Left message with Dr. DiMario's office. Waiting for a reply. Sick. Need meds. The " Do Not Consume" list is so vast. Has anyone else taken meds so close to sx? Naturally, I would rather let the bug run it's course than jeopardize my BBL.

BBbg hit it just right. My husband did not support me in my decision but I have talked to him more since I have been here than when I am normally home. They are men and don't know how to handle the unknown. Too little info and too much info is not good. Most of the time they want to help but don't know what to do to help. As for your cold, I was sick the whole week before the surgery. The hometown nurse said I would have to cancel my surgery, he!! No! Anyway I took Tylenol cold and flu liquid and pill. Emergence, generic musinex, lots of lemon tea. I slept In the bed from 12/26-12/30. As long as you don't have a sore throat you will be ok.keep hydrated with electrolytes and not a lot of sugar drinks. Wipe you chest with vicks vapor rub. My surgery was on Wednesday. I stopped all meds by Monday. I was so anxious that I was going to have a coughing fit before surgery because I couldn't drink liquids. Good luck.

BB2, got the Vicks and Tylenol Cold. Thanks for suggesting. MUST get rid of this. I want to thank you for your words. I think I have had a case of tmi. Talking about the positive and negative aspects of this procedure must be overwhelming. I have wanted to include him in this journey but it is my journey, not his. He can not relate.
