Not So Sure If I made the right choice...Pantoja 4 1/2 weeks post op

ok so i been reading and stalking this site for a couple months already, and decided to go w dr.pantoja. i really wanted dr.salma buuut honestly can not see myself paying around 10,000 total w air n hotel. so looked into mexico dr.campos said he can not get what i want in my behind and they took foooreever to get back to me . pantoja was very prompt and nadia is great also. i am gaining some weight for this and its driving me nuts. i feel like a fat ass, lol but i know it will be worth it. i had lipo about 4 years ago so i know i have to go in a little chunky due to some of my belly fat will not be usefull. i am going to mx alone so a little scared just want to get there and get back! im staying at grace recovery. well thats all for now.counting the days ;)

Ok, less than 2 months away and so not prepared...I'm moving also at end of month so all my focus is on that. I haven't even started the iron pills yet...yikes ..!! I have been gaining the weight though , lol that is not to hard ... ugh I feel like a fat ass thts forsure I really hope they get all this fat n I'm not making a mistake gaining it. I have seen dr.p 's pictures and he seems to do wonders on the waist so I should be ok .

Ok so it's less than 2 months to my new booty....I can't wait..!!! I only gained 8 pounds so far, guess gaining weight isn't as easy as i thought. I am pretty much avoding people cause i feel like a fat ass. thank god it's winter and i can cover up lol...i still plan on gaining about 5 more pounds. i have a question though how are we posta use the bobby pillow? put it under r thighs? or sit on it round? also is getting a butt out garment better than using a butt in? i know dr. pantoja gives us a butt in but im thinkin it would be good to get one that has a butt out 2..?

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHO IS A BETTER DR. PANTOJA OR...

Soooo got my blood work back and come to find out I have a liver of a obese person. Hahaha im far from obese so the nurse was like so you must drink a lot then I was like Nooooo, I told this lady already y I needed the blood wrk and how about I had to gain 12 pounds etc. But this witch insisted tht I drank to much , so now she was pissing me of cause I dnt drink like tht maybe onc
e a month or at social gatherings but just so happened she called me w the hresults while I was at a bar , so I was a little typsy arguing w this nurse on the phone and explaining to her the demo. So what it came down to is I need to
get my liver healthy again and stop gaining weight. I only got 2 wks left so I shld be ok. Plus I got back fat to feed a small country now. I also received my lipo foam I orderd 4 of those and a funny looking 8 shaped board from lipo express its kinda small though.

Went out to the mall today bought a arm compression , hopefully its gonna b tight enough. I was wondering if anybody else used it? I was thinking even ace bandage would work. Also I was almost going to get another garment but how do you know what size ul be? I can't wait to get this over with my boyfriend is so sick of me talking about it , but can't help it , its like a life changing experience. And im freakin excited so he jus needs to deal w it lol..well only a couple more days .. woot woot ;)

Bags all packed !! One more day till I head to mx....

Bags all packed !! One more day till I head to mx. I am all kinds of nervous, excited , hopefull, scared dang after this is over ima need some psych medications . I seen one of pantoja's pics I haven't seen b4 n its not good at all n got me almost wishing I picked a diff doc but everybody has a diff body so im wishing for the best. Plus I have seen a lot of wonderfull work that he done. Shit its a little to late now huh lol.. well wish me luck ladies ;)

Hey ladies I added a pic of my new booty day after sx its funny shaped at the time I will take new ones I am extremely swollen and sore but let me tell u I got a nice boootay and he fixed my scar tissue from previous lipo 900ccs and tht was only my back fat lol .I will post a detailed review in a couple days im just still so un comfy I dont know what to do with my self.

Please tell me if anybody was still so swollen...

Please tell me if anybody was still so swollen almost a week after ??? Im so nervous it wontgo down and Im still so sore to touch.

Ok, well as of today im almost 5 weeks post op and...

Ok, well as of today im almost 5 weeks post op and i am not really that happy with my results. I always had a nice figure till i gained the weight for this procedure , thinking that it would be all sucked out durring lipo and used for a ggod cause..WRONG...i still have fat on my back that looks like it was never touched i have this lower back fat or maybe it could b swelling but it is not going down as fast as everything else that i never had before. I look the exact same as i did before i gained the weight in the waist,,which kinda pissesme off..as for my ass i feel like he just threw the fat on there and didn't shape me at all actually i don't feel it i can see it..it is funny shaped and i am so not happy with it! yea it may b bigger but so what a big sloppy ass id not cute ,at least not to me..every day is like a roller coster one day i am kinda happy with it the next i am so mad i even did the procedure..i feel as if i went to dr. campos i would of had tottally diff results. dr.p is a good dr. and very kind but did not give me what i wanted. i have seen girls go in bigger than me come out with a smaller waist than what i got..wth? actually he did not even lipo my upper waist at all..i know it was kinda little to begin with but he could of took something so i see a difference..i am really hoping tht in a month or so i see better results but as of now they are not the greatest and NOTHING like i expected...I can say club med was the BEST!!! I would recommend all you girls to go there if u plan on going to mexico. They are great people and take such good care of you i do plan on going to get a tummy tuck after my next kid and i will b staying there again and going to campos..oh yea thts right my tummy looks worse than what it was b4 surgery! I know some ladies love dr p but i was just one of those who he fell asleep with. also i know i am very picky about myself but hey i paid tht money and went there hella pain i should be happy w my results not regreting it....

sorry bout all the typos lol

Are you still not happy with your results?! I'm going July 1st and I'm 130 usually but he said I need to gain at least 10 lbs cuz he said I don't have much fat. I'm about your size and now I'm kinda concerned :(
Ready4mynewboobsandbutt 26 Apr 2013
I c wat ur talking about....I contacted Nadia about some revisions on some things that I'm not happy with also and she told me to wait at least 3-4 months and if I'm still not happy then she told me to send in pics and he will gladly do a round 2 and I will only be charged the hospital and anesthesia fees, but I'll have to wait 8 months before he can do more lipo.
bigbootyfiend 12 Apr 2013
Your revision actually looks really good. U started off with a pretty nice body. I understand your dissatisfaction. U were probably looking for a big old video vixen body. U got a petite vixen body. Because ur body is small. But I do still see ur concern. Either way. U look good !
needdisbootay 12 Apr 2013
how often do u get massages?? and what kind of faja r u using u should be in yr second stage agrmet " alta pression". i dont know if u researched lipo but at four weeks yr body is not even 50 percent healed from the inside!! which is why after care is very essential to recovery. the only reason i bring this up to u is because one week ut of sx u were asking if swelling was normal!! please know that at 90 days u should see all swelling subside BUT THAT IS ONLY IF u wear yr garmet religuosly and do yr massages. i think u look great and u should try using heating pad to yr stomach and massaging very aggressivly yrself to smooth out the appearance. u should use very snug columbian stage two garmet to mold yr stomach u still have time. and drink n eat alot of pineapple and fluids. try takin bromelain aides in welling and healing!! how often do u get massages. i have massuese who travels to my home he is mobile i love the privacy n he very affordabel. im in california im not sure where u are at? but just make sure to use very snug colubian faja to mold you!! goodluck girlie!! i hope things look better for u and yr butt looks very nice!!
booty4thiscutie 12 Apr 2013
Oh yes I wear my garment, foams, board even wrap over w ace bandage for more compression..
Ready4myUPgrade 12 Apr 2013
Or you can get a revision from Dr P an worst case scenario is you cant lose with addtl.lipo ........
Ready4myUPgrade 12 Apr 2013
The "back fat" I assume you mean right above the booty is probably swell because I for a fact all the drs lipo THE HELL outta that area because its what gives that bangin S curve. IT CAN ALSO be lose/extra skin. It kinda wrinkles and you can probably grab it...Your still very early in recovery so TRUST when I say your garments w/firm compression is KEY to recovery. Your body will change over the next year.I aint gonna say be patient cause I know its impossible to do so when youre seeking perfection. . LOL On an other note I think you look great! But IF YOURE not satisfied Dr P is great at customerssatisfaction and will offer you a revision Im sure at only a small percentage ofwhat you paid....... Do you know how much he lipod?
booty4thiscutie 12 Apr 2013
He lipod 4 1/2 liters he said..but I honestly dont think he lipod my lower back thts what trips me out tht is a big part of a bbl..girl im just so not happy w my results so far everybody tht knows I done this agrees w me..the only thing he did was round me out a llittle on the sides..I am going to ask for a revision cause I did pay n didnt get close to what I asked when I know its possible but I would die if he didnt do it right again lol so I dunno this shit is driving me nuts already lol
Ready4myUPgrade 12 Apr 2013
Ok so I would suggest considering a different Dr. Lol I know how difficult it is but you dont wanna set yourself up for failure again if you arent satisfied with your R1 results... The S curve is huge to this surgery so I cnt see him not doing it but thenn again you never know. ITS POSSIBLE maybe you dnt have much fat there.. My S curve is super duper dipped.. I love it..It wasnt at first but now it is and it's EVERYTHING for my side profile lol.... I didnt request a big booty ann still dnt want one
booty4thiscutie 12 Apr 2013
How long did the s curve take to show ?
Ready4myUPgrade 17 Apr 2013
It was there initially, or I should say just enough to say "ok this surgery made a difference", but I would say about 6 months in. It takes a while for everything to fall into place. I was swollen there for quite a while. My Flanks too... The recovery is a struggle.
Ashley14771 11 Apr 2013
You looked greAt before and u look amazing after! After you heal completely you should feel better! Take it a day at a time! Good luck!
Elle.Rachelle 11 Apr 2013

MissRT 11 Apr 2013
U look good, and it will get better with time . big difference on what u had before..
booty4thiscutie 11 Apr 2013
Thanks ;)
ImmaJusDoIt 11 Apr 2013
I'm sorry you aren't happy :-( when you had your consultation did you POINT OUT where you wanted lipo? or, did you just feel that he will hit those spots (per his quote)? I'm so freaking picky so if I point out what I WANT and I also SHOW YOU want I want ITS GONNA BE A PROBLEM if I don't get IT!
booty4thiscutie 11 Apr 2013
Yep I did , I told him I wanted the waist to b tiny as possible and he did not even lipo the upper part on the sides .. but what can I do now im gonna lose some weight and tht shld do it I hope
ImmaJusDoIt 11 Apr 2013
Oh and you LOOK AWESOME!
september87 11 Apr 2013
I'm sorry to hear that, it kind of worries me because I am scheduled June 24. I'm just going in with realistic expectations and hoping for the best.
booty4thiscutie 11 Apr 2013
I went in w realistic expectations , I was 112 pounds b4 I know how little my waist can b he just didn't do it..but everybody is diff I seen girls look great from him
september87 11 Apr 2013
Thank you!
Ready4myUPgrade 12 Apr 2013
Dont be worried because trust me no matter which Dr you choose theres going to be at least one reason why you think you shouldA went to one of the other Drs... So dnt get overwhelmed just go with your gut.. Good luck ladies
Sally P 11 Apr 2013
