Dr. Mendieta's Next Challenge: MY BODY Sx`date 09/11/2012 - Miami, FL

Hello; Thank you before hand for your company here...

Hello; Thank you before hand for your company here.
I am 50 yrs old, 5'4" 126 lb. I have no butt, no hips, a belly, and as if that were not enough, a high waist.lol. (will post before pics soon) On top of all that I have no money! but I want this surgery so badly that I have managed to put together 1/2 of the cost of the surgery and booked it for September 11th. With God's help I will complete the other half.


Though more costly, I chose Dr. Mendieta because my body is more of a challenge and he is a worldly acclaimed body contourist and gluteal sculptor who operates with a battery of excellent professionals in state -of -the- art facilities. I thought if anyone could fix this body it would be him. Dr. Mendieta is not recommending a tummy tuck at this point, he said the loose skin should, to a good degree, firm back up pretty good. I am ok with having a little lose skin and no tummy tuck.


I have a beautiful 17 yr old daughter, she's my world. She has mixed feelings about the surgery and I have been with the love of my life for almost five years now. He supports me in this but tells me every day that he loves me just the way I am and I don't have to do this to please him. I know this is for me. Hopefully he will enjoy it too! I look forward almost obsessively to nice fitting clothes, a feminine figure and not being embarrased about my body even though I am not young anymore.
I am just now starting to research the garment and supplements and anything else I need. Any suggestions on how to save $ are welcome.
I wish everyone here good luck in their surgery endeavors.
Thank you!

Sending an S.O.S!!! I am 27 days away from my scheduled BBL w/ Dr. MENDIETA (yay!) Due to my finances,I have not been able to buy my garment or vitamedica kit. I am looking to buy preowned garments stage 1 size medium and stage 2 size small, and any leftover supplements you may have that I can purchase would be greatly appreciated. Thank so much!

Hello again! had a birthday this week and my honey gave me the balance for the sx as bday present. I"m very fortunate and thankful for him! My date is 9/11!! We will drive 4 hours from north florida to miami this sunday.
The night before surgery we will stay at Hampton Inn wich is a 7 min walk to Bellagiu surgery center. After the sx will stay with my sister in miami. I'm trying to post before pics but not very good at this. wow it';s 12:30 am. will try again tomorrow.

My results are amazing. Dr Mendieta gave me a beautiful body we spent quite some time together deciding on shape, etc. He's a sweet, cool guy talented like no one else. My recoup has been harder than I ever thought but God will bless me with relief as he helps me heal. My surgery was tuesday 9/11 and sunday i had some cramping on my hands and forearms I called the answering svce and Dr Mendieta immediately returned my call. I have my next appt tuesday when they will remove drainsl, More later.

Great review?

Yayyyy...he made it happen for you, that's really sweet!
As far as the preowned garment goes...try Craigslist, I found one there for $25. (I posted a pic of it)
I'm roughly 4.5 hours from Salama as well. I hope everything goes well for you. Keep us posted.
(you should try Craigslist Miami as well, I'm sure someone is selling one there!)

Hello bbl friends; does anyone have or know of anyone who is selling a preowned design veronique garment (the kind Dr. Mendieta recommends) size medium I am also looking for Vitamedica supplements and Arnica Montana or SinEcch if anyone has some of those leftover that I could buy. I am very limited moneywise right now. Thanks a bunch!

Oh poor thing. It's all good just get a fan & keep cups of ice ready. You'll do fine :)

Welcome & congratulations on making the decision to do something for yourself. Good luck on your journey.

Thanks, bootiebeauty78. It does feel good so far. I am a little scared though...I'm in my 50's and going through hot flashes and have been imagining that tight garment on me when I'm flashing...lol!
