Hi Everyone!! I've been wanting a curvy body...

Hi Everyone!!
I've been wanting a curvy body since way back when. Finally I feel that I'm at a stage in life where I can afford it & can really make it happen! I am 5'3 130lbs. I came across Dr. Campos online, I love his work.. He definitely knows how to shape a women (from what I've seen). I had a virtual consultation, Dr. Campos will charge me $4125 for lower back, waist and abdomen lipo and fat grafting to the buttocks. Is this a good price? I'm having a few worries... First off.. I'm not a very big girl, will I have enough fat to transfer? Doc sd 600-700 cc's I want to be "bootylicious" lol is this enough fat? Second... I have to be in TJ for 7-9 days minimum, I've heard scary stuff about TJ. Am I going to be safe? I'm gonna miss my babies. I really want this done I have two days before my deposit is due. Please share your opinions & experiences!!!

Hi ladies!!! I'm a little disappointed today:( I went to a doc just to get another opinion since I won't being seeing campos in person till the day before my sx.. The doc said I am very lean with little fat. He says a bbl will do a very little change for me. Although most women would love to hear that, not me... I've always wanted a volumptious curvy figure... When I gain weight it doesn't go to the right places and when I work out I lose every little bit that I have. Ughh I feel like I'm stuck in a 12yr olds body. Dr. Salama seen my pics through email and also recommended a weight gain before sx. The doc did recommend butt implants if I wanted a change but I just don't like pics that I've seen and I hear of way too many complications.

Really want this surgery but so many "what if's".... Pleas share ur advice ladies I am desperately trying to gain weight and its just not happening. Will this procedure be worth it? I have a tummy (2kids later) but I can't grab fat on my sides and barely a pinch of fat in my back.. Is this procedure going to be a significant change in my figure?? I'm scheduled 3/13/13 with Campos!!

Disappointed today... My sitter for the week of surgery backed out I might have to cancel:( I wish I cld just take my little guy with me. I don't really trust anyone well enough to leave him for a week.

Ladies please help me by letting me know what I need to take on my trips &what I can take to help make recovery easier!! I would appreciate any help...
Thank u:)

They don't answer emails and then when I call they have attitude. Answer my email, no call frm me its simple. They don't know if they received my payment they want a receipt, if u got a payment of $1325 u shld be able to keep track of that. They make me nervous bout the whole thing.. U think they'd be more caring & respectful.

I can't wait! I got my suitcase out and began packing last night... I'm nervous but excited. The days are going by so fast. I'm currently 132lbs 5'3 I hope the doc can get enough fat to do something PHAT for me lol Have a good day Gals:)

We have only been married 6 months but together...

We have only been married 6 months but together for 3 yrs. He is in the military and away right now for training. Since he's been gone he don't call much, his text are one words and he's even went weeks with not texting or calling at all. The last few days he's been telling me it's over, I always insist that I love him and we are going to make this work. I am always positive or at least try to be. Yesterday I texted I love you & can't wait till ur back. He responded "quit being optimistic we are done" he comes home a day before me and was supposed to pick me up at the airport after being gone for surgery he texted "I will pick u up from the airport but don't say a word about us being together, it's over" :( I have a feeling while I'm gone for surgery I'm going to come home to an empty house. I'm torn, heartbroken, no words to explain..

My nerves are going crazy! New me & new start for my future... It's already began to be a life changing experience. Praying for a safe trip & fast recovery! Thank you for all your well wishes & support!

Sooo.. Sorry i haven't been on ladies.. I have had...

Sooo.. Sorry i haven't been on ladies.. I have had A LOT going on.. So remember the problems I was having with my husband before I left for surgery.. Well when I returned his ring was on the dresser and he was gone. I was served with divorce papers a week later. I am hurt, sad, mad.. but in the long run I know he did me a favor. I dont think him leaving has anything to do with the surgery. I am sure he was cheating and he was an asshole long before I planned anything. .. Now about the procedure I was up walking around the night of my surgery. I felt great.. I was sore but the most frustrating part was always laying on my stomach. I went home after 4 days staying at Club Med. Club Med is awesome and I met wonderful people! I went back to work on my 10th day. I still use a pillow under my thighs while i drive and sit. My butt has decreased a lot in size since the surgery but i still have curves and its bigger then what i had. During week 2 i did experience a lot of swelling in my thighs and legs but it has went down since. I would consider a second round but damn the healing process kind of sucks lol. Overall i am doing okay considering everything going on in my life. Thank you for keeping up with me. Good Luck to you all::)))) If you are considering BBL Campos is the way to go, he is certainly an artist!

Also what size garment did you first get into right after surgery? Do you know the brand? Does he give you the garments? Are you still wearing a garment? Do you go for massages anymore? Did you gain weight right after surgery?
Spring Hill4646 13 Apr 2013
How do I get in touch with getting a quote for dr. Compos?!! I have emailed him 3 times and no response! Will you be posting anymore pictures? Have you felt any 'fluffing?'
Spring Hill4646 11 Apr 2013
Sorry about your divorce. But you are right, he did do you a favor. You don't need to be with someone who doesn't want to be with you. And I know you have kids too. My prayers go out to you and you're family:).... As for your surgery, you look amazing! 8D I am so jealous! Does you booty feel hard or soft? Does you booty hurt during or after sitting? Do you sit or stand at your job? What did you say to your job for asking time off? Sorry for the many question! But had to ask :) you look great
KCurve 11 Apr 2013
Thank you.. I will overcome this! My bottom is getting softer each day, it jiggles a little when I walk too lol.. I have a desk job. I'm sitting with my things on a pillow. I asked time off for surgery but I didn't say what by law u don't have too. I used mysick time. It doesn't hurt to sit or stand at all.
JusMii 11 Apr 2013
hello i will be having my surgery in july and i was wondering would you suggest leaving Clubmed at 10 days or 14 days? is that too long?
KCurve 11 Apr 2013
I say 7-10 days is plenty. I started getting bored after just 2 days. If ur just having bbl I think as long as ur there till ur drains are out you will be good. I went home with my drains in and took them out myself.
JusMii 11 Apr 2013
Okay thank you. were you able to do things on ur own by day 10?
KCurve 11 Apr 2013
Yes after the first week you will be a little sore but able to do a lot on your own. By day 5 I was dressing n undressing alone, cooking, light cleaning... I just took lots of naps. Ur body needs rest to heal.
JusMii 11 Apr 2013
okay thank you so much for the info =]
KCurve 11 Apr 2013
No problem, good luck!
sunsweetiehb 11 Apr 2013
I'm so sorry to hear about your divorce. I hope all is okay. You look great.
KCurve 11 Apr 2013
Thank you!! I'm becoming a stronger women everyday.
Spring Hill4646 1 Apr 2013
How are you doing? How is your recovery coming along? I hope all is well :)
Spring Hill4646 22 Mar 2013
You look amazing! He really does have magic bc you didn't look like you had a whole lot of for to take from, but he found it some where! You have changed my mind (and also the fact the Dr. Salama has raised his prices yet, AGAIN) so I am going to Dr. Compos! You have the same build as I do, so I know if he gave you that booty he can give me one too:) I wish you nothing but great things to come your way and a smooth recovery! I would love to see more pictures too!

Booty4Real 17 Mar 2013
He did a beautiful job as always
PostOpBluez 16 Mar 2013
you look awesome!! im 5'5 150 and have the same shape as your pre-op pic, do you think I will have good results or should i gain some more?? I hope I come out looking like you =)
KCurve 17 Mar 2013
Depends what doctor you are going with! Campos is known as the booty doc.. I only weighed 126lbs before surgery but he managed to find fat on my abdomen and back also he lipo'd my inner thigh he removed a total of 3600 ml of fat lol who knew a skinny person had so much fat. Now my waist is so so tiny and my hips and ass are big and nice. He put 1000ccs into each side. My waist has to at least be a size 2 maybe even smaller. I think with your wait you will be just fine! Good luck:)
