Brazilian Butt Lift: Stories

I'M SO EXCITED!! I just spoke with Michelle @ Dr. Jimerson’ s office and committed to my BBL. I paid my deposit and locked in my surgery date. June 12, 2013 seems so far away but I figured it will give me time to lose at least 20-30lbs and save up my portion of the money. Michelle confirmed that as of 3/1/13 Dr. Jimerson’ s prices will be going up, so without having my phone consult with the Dr. I decided to take advantage of his current prices. I did not want to have the burden of financing but I figured if I financed half of the cost it won’t take as long to pay it off.


I have been religiously reading everyone's posts and I feel confident I'm making the right decision, although my mom is against it. Thank God I have a supportive husband.. I'm sure having a HOT wife with a PHAT ass has nothing to do with him being supportive ..LOL

Well ladies.. wish me luck in my weight loss journey and I'll post pictures soon

God Bless

I havent posted in a while because I didnt have any updates. I've just been reading everyone else's blogs and trying to feel my way thru this whole process. I did book a hotel room, I was freaking out with the prices. To stay for 8 nights some places wanted me to pay the cost of my mortgage..absolutely NOT.. I remembered my job has travel discounts so I booked at Wingate By Wyndham in Atlanta for $500. It's further away from Dr. J's office but my husband will be driving me to and from so I should be fine. Just glad I can save a couple hundred dollars.

My main concern is losing some weight. I'm 5'2" 196 lbs. I read somewhere that I should be at least 20lbs from my ultimate weight goal ( 150 lbs) prior to surgery, this means I have to lose 26lbs. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life. With the holidays coming and with what seems like a "Pot Luck" every other week at my job, my will power is nonexistent. I'm not even going to mention the love/hate relationship I have with my beloved red wine and exercising is out of the question .

Since my birthday is next week I was thinking about asking my mom to buy me the "Insanity" work out DVDs as a gift but I know I will only last maybe 3 weeks with that. Does anyone know of any helpful tips for weight loss.. other than exercise and giving up my wine...

Hello Ladies,
I was just browsing MMH and I discovered a post from a young lady that is distraught over her BBL performed by Dr. J. I know that everyone is not going to be 100% pleased with their results but the way she describes the way she was treat has me terrified. I definitely don’t want to be lopsided or worse off than I was before I had the procedure. She also stated that Dr. J wanted her to pay for to correction, I thought if there was some revisions to be made ( because of the surgeon's error) the surgeon's fee was waived. I understand having to pay for the anesthesiologist/facility but You made the mistake and then I have to pay YOU to fix YOUR mistake... I'm so scared now! have any of you heard of any other horror stories with Dr. J? I've already paid my nonrefundable $500 and I don’t know what to do now.

Ok Ladies, I started my weight loss journey yesterday and I think I did a good job. For breakfast I ate 4 strips of turkey bacon and a Yoplait Lite yogurt, early afternoon snack was watermelon, lunch a turkey sandwich on 1 slice of bread and a salad, afternoon snack was a banana ..by dinner time I was starving, I did not watch my portions and had seconds but what I'm most proud of is that I DIDN'T DRINK ANY WINE!! YAY ME!!.. I only drunk water!...

Today I'm doing pretty much the same thing except I'll try to snack more during the day, that way I won’t be famished by dinner... and drink more water...Any suggestions on meals? I don’t want to get bored eating the same things over and over again.

I called Michelle today and made another payment towards my surgery, so now I really have to get this weight down cause that’s just too much money to be wasting.. I haven’t started my walking during my lunch breaks yet because it’s been raining here in NC. I’ve also been working thru my lunches because I’m taking a week off for Xmas and I want all of my work to be done before I go… I plan on starting my walks when I return from vacation and then eventually increase my exercises.

I haven’t had a chance to order my Insanity Dvd yet.. honestly I’m trying to hold out in hopes that someone would buy it for me for Christmas since I didn’t get it as a birthday gift.

Well tomorrow there is another potluck at my job and I’m in charge of bringing the baked mac and cheese and I have to cook for Xmas dinner this year.. I need some will power.. Pray for me Ladies

I'm having such a hard time losing weight.. Because my main reason for having sx is to have a flat stomach, I think I might just have a TT and BBL.. I was scared of having a huge scar on my body and the healing time but I may not have a choice..Has anyone had a TT with Dr. Jimerson? If so are you happy with your results?

So yesterday was my consult. It went all wrong! Keep in mind I scheduled this appointment in Nov. 2012. so I was anxious and excited for this day to finally arrive. I had all my questions written down, did all my research, paid a my deposit plus an additional payment, scheduled my surgery date and was ready. I got 2 emails to confirm the consult date and time, I even got a phone call 2 days prior to confirm all of my information. I specifically gave everyone instructions to call my cell phone and take my home # out of my records. I understood the call would be betwee 9-12 so I blocked that time out of my schedule. Well 12 o'clock comes and goes.. 1 o'clock comes and goes so I call them only to be told that they are so busy someone will call me before they close..I again made sure everyone knew to call my cell phone ONLY. Around 2:30 I check my home phone voicemail and heard a message from Shelly..I called them and explained what happened and was told that someone will call me Monday, well that was unexceptable someone needed to call me TODAY.

When Shelly finally calls me back the first thing Shelly says is "I left you a message with your mother Alice" ...I'm like really cuz I don't have a mother name Alice...then Shelly started talking about deposits and scheduling my surgery date. CLEARLY this girl had me confused with someone else, which is very discouraging...If u can't keep a simple phone consult in order than how am I suppose to trust you with my life..Shelly then proceeded to talk way too fast like a used car salesman, I had to ask her to slow down several times...I understand she does this everyday all day but I don't.. this is something new and personal to me and although I've done my homework I'm still scared and need a little hand holding through this process... I still had questions but couldn't ask because Shelly kept cutting me off before I could finish the question and when I asked her to stop cutting me off she cut me off again..WTF!?... I was like please just put Dr JIMERSON on the phone...

By the time Dr JIMERSON got on the phone I was so flustered that I wanted nothing to do with him and he sounded like he wanted nothing to do with me. I don't even remember discussing my butt, I only remember him saying he won't be able to get my stomach flat even with a TT...now I'm thinking well what the f* ck am I paying u for.... I was done! He then put Shelly back on the phone to finish fast talking me before I gave her a piece of my mind.

Now I'm at work, sitting at my desk regretting giving up a $500 non refundable deposit plus an additional payment when my cell phone rings again... this time it's Aziza to save the day....when I answered the phone and heard the warmness and concern in her voice I couldn't control my emotions. I cried like a baby and Shelly allowed me that time... once I pulled myself together she patiently answered all of my questions and talked to me as if I were a person and not just another client.. I'm once again feeling good about my decision to have my surgery but I think I'm going to call Dr JIMERSON again to discuss my butt and I won't accept "he's busy " as an answer

So now that I'm done with school ( graduated on May 10, 2013 ..YAY ME!!) I can now focus 100% on my surgery. I went to the doctor on May 15th for my medical clearance, my blood pressure was a little high but I had just came from a parent/teacher conference at my son's school, my Dr. said that was to be expected. Good thing I called Dr. J's office to confirm if my faxed medical clearance was received because it was not.. it took 4 tries and for them to finally get the fax.. don't know what that was about..but N-E Way..all is well with my health and I can proceed with the surgery. My final balance of $300 will be made on Friday and then I'm all set. I still have to pick up a little more supplies, get my hair braided, a bikini wax, a pedicure, and a few maxi dresses. My husband will be driving me down, so I have to get an oil change and tune up on the car. My hotel room is booked, I changed it to Sun Suites of Suwanee and I hope it's nice for only $545.86/14 days. I have about $250 on my Healthcare Savings Account and a discount Rx card from www.RxReliefCard.com, so I hope I don't have to come out of pocket for the expensive prescriptions we have to get. I'll stock my hotel room with food, water, movies, DVD player, and the necessary medical supplies. I'll also be studying for my National Board Exam coming in August so I shouldn't get too bored. I stopped taking the vitamins, iron pills, Arnica, and Bromelain pills last week..I took them for about a month and my face broke out real bad.. I'll just eat a lot of pineapples and drink pineapple juice until the day of surgery.

I'm feeling nervous, I'm just worried my results wont be what I want because I haven't lost a pound. I'm not looking for a 6 pack but I want to look down at myself and not see this big @$$ stomach, I want my shirts to look nice on my body, I want to be able to wear a damn tank top! I want that more than I want a fat ass..the fat ass is just a bonus

I took 3 weeks off from work, that should be enough for recovery time. I only told 2 of my co-workers, so I'm assuming the whole damn job knows at this point but I don't care. At first I wanted to keep my business my business, didn't want all of the judgement but then I realized if these heffas could afford to do it they would do it too. So I'm not hiding N-E thing anymore..it's whatever.. I can only worry about my happiness and I pray I'll be happy with my new body

I guess that's it for now... 21 days and counting
