My BBL Journey
I've been contemplating having this done for years and finally have enough courage to go through with it.  At first I wasn't going to post anything because I don't want any negative energy around me while going through this process (I've seen it on other reviews).  I ended up changing my mind because this website helped me out tremendously and I want to give back to others going through this journey.
My phone consultation w/ Dr. Jimerson's office was on June 27, 2016.  I was expecting to pay a deposit and get a 2016 date, this wasn't the case.  I had to pay in full before they would schedule me in 2016 (fast track list).  I paid in full the following day and was given a surgery date of August 8, 2016.  I'm getting the BBL with 2 additional lipo areas, bra roll & upper back.  I'm 5'4" 166 lbs and was told I didn't have to lose any weight.  Thank goodness because the struggle to lose weight is real!!!
I had a pre-op phone conference on July 18, 2016 and we discussed all the details about the surgery.  She gave me the info to a nurse that will come to the hotel the day after the surgery and show my fiance how to administer the meds, take the garment off and on properly, and how to massage and drain the lipo'd areas.
I haven't had any problems with customer service.  If I have a question I call and speak to the first person that answers the phone.  If they don't know the answer they put me on hold and find out.  I learned fast that if you want a quick response ask the first person that answers the phone, don't ask for anyone specifically.  This week I plan on posting my shopping list, tips and tricks, and more pics.

I wanted to go to Dr. J because he is closer to home than Miami but his prices are double compared to so many other great plastic surgeons. I am going to Miami and the price includes a 7 day stay at the recovery house.

His prices are higher than Miami doctors but I've been following his work for years and have been satisfied with his results. Good luck to you!

I am scheduled with Dr. Jimerson in October. Im nervous but excited. Its only three of us in my office and i told them what i was having done. I don't really care if they know since its such a relaxed work environment. Good luck with everything. I have a few questions,
Where and how long are you staying? and whats "milk your drains?"
User Avatar
July 28, 2016
I have 12 days to go before I'm officially a Jimerson doll!!! I'm excited and nervous too. My preop appt is on Friday and my surgery is on Monday. I'm staying a total of 10 days at the Hyatt in Johns Creek. My drain will be removed the following Monday, 7 days post op. I plan on leaving right after my appt. She said if everything goes well I could leave early and find a doctor in my area to remove the drain but most doctors won't go behind another doctor. "Milking your drains- This massage pushes post-op fluid out the lipo sites." This wasn't on Dr. Jimerson's list so I'm not sure if it's necessary. I plan on asking the nurse. Keep us updated and good luck!

i definitely will and thank you for responding. I can't wait to see your pics. Im on my weight loss journey now. Im 5' tall and shedding the weight i need to lose per Dr. Jimerson. Im really nervous because i live in a really, really, really small town. Im pretty sure after I'm completely healed and rocking my new body people are gonna have lots of questions... Please keep us posted during your healing process.

That town may be too small for your new booty, LOL! I don't plan on telling anyone but my sister, mom, and best friend. That may change depending on my results.
August 9, 2016
That's a pretty long list that they gave you.. I only purchased things after the surgery as needed. It's smart to have foods available though. you really won't want to grocery shop for like 2 weeks because of the soreness.

I added to the list that Dr. J gave me and I've used majority of the items.

BBL- What to tell Co-workers & your Employer

User Avatar
Fabulous1
I was worried sick about how to deal with the BBL & my professional work environment. This is one of the reasons I've waited so long to have it done.  My work environment is very stiff and uptight, not relaxed & low key like myself.  I finally said this is my life and I'll do what makes me happy.  I started doing little things that hopefully help disguise my bbl when I return to work.  
I started using my boppy pillow at work 3 weeks ago (5 weeks before my surgery).  To get my coworkers use to the pillow and ask any questions they have now rather than later.  I told one lady that I was having problems with hemorrhoids and it hurt to sit for long periods of time.  I told that same lady that I was having hemorrhoid surgery and would be off for two weeks.  I told my boss that I was having "female" outpatient surgery and would need two weeks off.  He didn't ask any questions, thank goodness!  I also started wearing butt pads that I plan on gradually increasing in size.
When I return to work I plan on hiding the BBL with long shirts and sweaters (it's always cold in the office).  Hopefully they won't notice but if they do I'll tell them since the hemorrhoid surgery my weight goes straight to my butt, LOL.  Eventually they'll stop asking, at least that's what I'm hoping.  I don't know if any of this will work because I want a donk!  I didn't spend this much money or travel this far for a little booty.  Go big or go home, LOL!  
Please share how you plan to or did deal with your work environment & bbl.  Also, I will upload my before pics the weekend before my surgery (2 weeks!!!).  I'm trying to lose the 4lbs I've gained since my consultation.

Great cover up... I understand the pressure. I'm actually trying to hide it from my family.. I wonder if 2 weeks is enough.

I think you got it all under control. My BMI is what's driving me crazy!! I don't want to lose necessary weight I need for my fat transfer so I'm seeking local consultation before my dead line to DR ... Grrrrr , really not trying to hear bad news two months before my sx

I needed this. Laughter brightens the soul. What great ideas you have. As a teacher, and returning to a campus I worked a couple years ago will definitely require me to wear butt and hip pads. The teachers there are young and trendy. They will notice. So, I am prepared to tell them everything. You know the truth about my herniated muscle surgery that required me wear a waist I mean compression garment. That is why I lost so much weight and it must be more noticeable.
You are an expert, what do you think?

You need alot of positive energy around you before going through this procedure. That's why I only told my mom, sister, fiance, and best friend. They were my encouragement me when I had doubts, was nervous, and scared. These emotions are normal before going through surgery so you need alot of positive energy around you.
