I finally booked my consult. Eeeek!! I have been researching for few years. Money and other responsibilities have been a barrier. My consult is on 3/27/2018. I will have a list of questions prepared. Let's do this!
I do not want my booty to be disrespectful (aka stripper booty big). However, I would love something natural looking, who doesn't? Any who, I am 5ft 6in and 234. Yes, I need to lose weight. This surgery is a huge motivation. The Doc I chose is Dr. Jimerson. Let's see how this goes.

I had my consultation today. I am excited but I do not want to get overly excited., one step at a time. My surgery is scheduled for 9/2018. This gives me enough time to lose weight. I need to get down to 190. I know I can do it because I lost weight before. Now that I put down a deposit I will remain motivated. My husband is not into altering the body at all. I do not care! This is my body and I am ready for a transformation. I have 2 sons both of which were 9 lbs at birth. I have not always been this curvy but heck, I am now. My desire is to look fierce in a 2 piece thong!!!

Hi girl, thanks for your post! I really want to have Dr J do my bbl and eventually a tummy tuck. But I too currently weigh 225 lbs and I’m 5’5. I am currently low carbing and I know I loose it because I have done so before. I want to do a consult but felt kind of intimidated because I’m still so heavy. How did you feel about your consult will Dr J?

I did not speak with him, I spoke with a patient coordinator over the phone. She was very nice and knowledgeable. If you live in GA and can do an in house consult, then you would speak with him.

Oh really I didn’t know that, how much is it? How is your weight loss going. I went to do a consult with a dr in Miami, its actually scheduled for Aug 7th paid my deposit and everything. But he wants to do my bbl and tt in 2 separate surgeries, which I agreed to but I really want them done together. So I just happen to call Jimerson again last week, the girl who answered the phone said that he performs surgery BMIs of 27-33 which was different from what I was told at 1st which was 27-30. So I’m not sure what to think, I just need to go ahead and schedule my consult, bc I’m running out of time. No matter what I’m having surgery Aug 7th with somebody bc I’m already approved to be off work...lol!!

He has like three different plans and if you buy one at the time of your consult you get a big discount. I want to say the cost was like $300 but you need to love local as you have to attend a class for the program. And I do believe that Dr Jimerson operates on patients with BMIs up to 33 as my BMI was over 30 at the time of my surgery (I think it was like 32).

Oh wow I would definitely do it but I’m in Charlotte. It’s good to know about the BMI, I’m stressing myself because I have only lost 12 lbs. I’m suppose to loose like 23 lbs more we will see, I have a couple more months

Struggling

2018Blessed
Hello Wonderful! As I stated earlier, I need to lose weight. Sigh, I have not exercised much. How crazy is that! My sister told me about intermittent fasting so I started that. I thought once I put my deposit down I would have all of this motivation to exercise. Not! My eating is pretty good (Thank God). I just need to eat well AND exercise. I was a little ashamed to admit this but you may be struggling as well. Right? ???? No need to get on myself that does not help. I will go walking today. Heck I just might bust into a jog! I think I am one of those crazy folks that get serious during crunch time. My surgery is not until September. Poor excuse, I know. Just keeping it real. Have a great day!!

I totally feel you. I am in the same position. I know I’ve paid a lot for this surgery but I can’t seem to shake this weight in such short time frame. I’m thinking I should have book my date out like you did but I just want this done like NOW lol.
April 15, 2018
I get it. I would love to be ready for this summer as well. I decided on the end of the year because I did not want to go through the summer wearing a faja 24/7 and healing. My next hurdle in addition to losing weight is posting pics. I am nervous! Hats off to the ladies that are braver than I am!! As far as the weight goes we can do it!!!
April 26, 2018
I’m with you ladies. I need to lose weight to get my surgery too. But stay focused you can do it. Some days are better than and some weeks will be better than others. As long as you don’t give up you going to succeed.
