I'm sorry to hear that your surgery didn't get approved...are you going to schedule consults with any other surgeons so you get a second (and maybe even third) opinion? Good luck to you...
Yes I definitely will... I really want this and will keep doing whatever it is I have to get it. I'm leaving the country but will be back early April and will continue the process from there. Thanks so much for the advice/concern.
well girl.. let me give you the FAT GIRL PLAN!!! get you some gummy vitamins, start with prenatal gummies or start with vitafusion multi gummies, take them every day you wake up!!! #2 FORGET all the rules you learning growing up about healthy eating, and do the opposite! - starting going to sleep after every meal!! - eat a heavy azzzz dinner with bread and potatoes and go to sleep! soon after! find your damn favorite icre cream and stock up!! i suggest BLUE BELL because them [RS bleep] sure made me fat!!! EAT YOU FAVORITE ICE CREAM EVERY SINGLE DAY!! and i mean make sure you eat it AT NIGHT! every night you can! don't eat a lot of salt b/c your sodium levels will kick out you labs, or blood pressure results... you don't need potassium issues or high blood pressure find your FAVORITE BURGER JOINT AND EAT THAT [RS bleep] EVERY SINGLE DAY! MAKE SURE YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH FRENCH FRIES! EAT FRENCH FRIES (you can bake them if you choose) but each french fries and ketchup and burgers and whatever else you feel you love ... but eat the starches and breads and fats every single day fall in love with KRISPY KREME DOUGHNUTS! try to eat as them as often as possible, eat macaroni and cheese, eat peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches, and eat that darn ice cream!! if you are a cereal nut, eat that sugary cereal as often as you can! milk will blow you up! so you need whole milk and the best sugary cereal you can get a hold of! lastly... become best friends with pizza hut! dominoes cici's papa john's eat pizza as often as you can! forget the damn subway.... eat pizza for breakfast (actually pizza counts as a "complete" breakfast) eat these foods as often as possible, and go to sleep after eating as often as possible... you will be 25 lbs heavier in no time!!! you can return to your eating habbits after surgery so go ahead and reschedule for 3-4 months from now
Oh my goodness you are sooooo funny!!! :) I cracked up reading this!! Thank you I have two things of blue bell in the fridge and I LOVE pizza!!! I will definitely give it a try!! I know I can pack on the pounds soon doing this. My hubby will be back in a few months (military calls) & I know I'll have to prepare him for the shock but YES MA'AM... 25 lbs here I come!!! Thank you for your response, it made me feel better about the rejection yesterday!! Lol! :)
Consider Dr. Salama, I know he's more expensive but I've seen very slim, even skinny/underweight looking girls go to him and get results IMO (actually some of my favourites on this site were skinny) so that's a poor excuse by your surgeon, even skinny women ave fat pockets on their bodies xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Thanks so much Cutekoala. I have been thinking of changing surgeons. One major reason is because I've asked for referrals twice but haven't received them yet so the only pics I see are in office. I found two girls on this site that got BBL from him but neither of them had pics to show either. I know the price will increase with Dr. Salama but you get what you pay for right!!!
so what has happened now?
Hi "new me"... I haven't done anything. I had to lose the extra lbs I put on for my booty. It's just a waiting game for now. :)
I'm lost. thought you didnt pass clearance because you didnt have enough fat. Are you still seeing Dr. miles? Do you have a date ? Check your private box I left u message also.
I went to my PCP for my clearance. He didn't think I had enough fat and he also wanted me to wait until I'm done having children because of fertility reasons. I haven't seen him since I didn't pass clearance. The previous date I had has come and gone. I'm now getting a refund for my deposit I'd made
Oh. ok best wishes

I'm been having some recent thoughts about...

I'm been having some recent thoughts about reconsidering my surgeon. I've only spoken with two women on here who have had BBL by him and neither has pictures to share (which makes me wonder/worry). My husband has also been mentioning a second kid. My first is only 8 months so I really didnt want another kid yet but it does make raise another concern for me. What happens to my body if I get this procedure now and have another child lets say 2-3 yrs from now. I was told the fat cells don't grow back in the places they were removed but other fat cells get bigger in other places. Sounds like I can be looking quite peculiar to me... Has anyone had a child after having the BBL? Also, does anyone have any surgeons to recommend in the Tampa FL area? Thanks for any and all help!! :)
