I'm 35 years old, married with two kids...17 & 11 yrs old, both via C-section. I has hit six years ago by a truck. I sustained a hematoma on my right buttock. It became infected because the doctors didn't want to drain it. So after the back and forth I had lipo done and the PS removed to much fat. Over the past 8 months I lost 50 pounds.

I came across RS and I just wanted a TT. Then after going to a few consults I decided I wanted to do a breast lift as well. So my hubby said why would you do everything else and not do your butt? Honestly most ps said I would not benefit from it. I would need a butt lift. That was and is not an Option for me. I had to do my homework and show him pictures of the scars. There is nothing that will hide that come summer time.

Long story short, I would love to go to dr. Jimerson but he is just not an option for me right now. My ps is dr. Gartner. He is double board certified. I see there are a few ps on here that do their thang when it comes to BBL. I have to be very careful when it comes to my health. I have Lupus and even though its not active there's always a chance. I was lucky enough that my doctor caught it when it first came about.
I'm happy to know that someone within local limits has the capability to make this happen for me.

Neosporin, water, sports drinks, a chair either a lawn chair with a hole cut out or a directors chair or stool. You'll want to sit down. Food that can be quickly and easily prepared for your first few days preferably stuff low in sodium.

Ok, thanks. I told my husband about the chair thing and he's so against it. My ps told me that I would need to be off my ass for 6-8 weeks, that's crazy. Hubbys like we're gonna pay all this money for u not to follow dr orders...idk

I did my blood work on 2/1/13. I just called Dr. Gartner office and I am all cleared for my bbl. Im so happy, I thought I might have to redo my blood work. I have all my supplies except my foam pad for my belly. I received a phone this morning, they said the foam pad came in today and I should have it by Friday. I have my pre op on 2-20. So after my pre op, the count down will really begin and maybe I'll start to get excited...that's just me.
