Hello everyone! I have been doing my research. I feel excited and nervous from day to day. I've watched so many videos I think I spooked myself. I am 5'4 and 145lbs. I'm told to be 150 lbs by surgery date. Does anyoned have results with similar height and weight? I'm in San Francisco flying to Miami for my procedure. My surgeon is Dr. Sayed at Jolie Plastic Surgery. Any suggestion on Faja sizing?

I am going with Tim Sayed with Jolie Plastic Surgery in Miami. Here are some pictures before so you really know the difference. I am 147lbs now and im 5'3

I haven't met him yet but he has replied to me on social media. Think its really important for me to know that these Doctors value us as patients and people. I've followed him on Instagram, LinkdIn, and Facebook. Ive definitely done my research. We didn't hold conversations but the fact he acknowledged my excitement to meet him personally for my procedure, set a good foundation of trust for me. That is a great thing!

So i reached 150 lbs which was suggested for the best results. I am uncomfortable!! Ive gained more than 10lbs.for the best results possible. I sure hope it was all worth it(prayers). I am going to try and post more before pics cause for me i feel like that's what i want to see too when i am seeking result pics for BBL. I am 2 months out and money is getting tight!! Any tips on the most important supplies to bring?? I am so nervous I won't be prepared cause money is tight trying to pay for everything. Help!

Here is a before picture. I absolutely plan on taking an after picture too. I will take more than one. I just really want to imagine this and absorb the difference pre and post surgery. One my body changes..there is no going back. I'm really don't want to forget so I am appreciating my body now.

I got all the testing done and it was a lot due to my job. I took a whole day off and still had two appointments the following day. After it was all completed though the results came quickly. I was cleared for surgery a couple days later. So it's official and it's really going down!!! I am so excited and nervous. Money is getting tight, making sure my kids are taken care of while i'm gone, avoiding the trolls at work trying to figure out why im so secretive, and trying to keep myself positive has veen a challenge. Not only am u going solo, I haven't told my family cause they will stress me out. It's taking it's toll on me. I need support!! My surgery is Sept 28th DOLLS!!! PLEASE PRAY FOR ME.....I'm so excited to see the new me!!

I landed in Miami yesterday. I went to my pr-op appt today. It's a busy spot. I paid for my drug test, signed some paperwork, and met my doctor. Dr. Stayed is awesome. I've searched him a lot and feel although his work isn't shown often he is smart and know what he is doing. I trust him with my body and my life. I truly believe he will deliver what I want to look like from this surgery. I'm so excited!!

First, I want to say Kayla is great. I have seen some reviews that weren't the best but my experience personally hasn't been bad. Both her husband, her mother, and herself have been very engaged and super helpful. Their setting is in their home so it is like being a part of their everyday lives. There are two beds in a room and two sectioned off and partitioned. It's not much privacy but it works out. For someone ike me coming solo its just what i need. I want people around, things i need to recover, and someone experienced to look out for me. I got the faja, board, and Lipo boards from Kayla. It's way cheaper than Jolie. So far it's been good. My surgery is tomorrow so I'll know more about how well I'm taken care of after the fact. I'll update tomorrow. Wish me luck!! I'm excited!!

The picture on the left is my pre-op after gaining 15 lbs for this surgery. The picture on the right is one week post op. I took my garment and Lipo foams off. I am still bruised and swollen in the pic. I also had five massages before flying home. I stood most the flight cause I could only sit on my pillow comfortably for 10 minutes at a time . My garment now at two weeks post op is really big so I am getting another sent from my recovery house Keyla since she knows what to get rather than guess online. She has been really helpful even after I am home. I can't wait to get it! I went back to work at 1 1/2 weeks too. I got a stand up desk before I left th o Miami. Being on my feet all day is no fun!!!
