I had the gastric bypass done Feb of 2011, I was 300 pounds, lost the first 100 pounds in 6 months, almost 2 years post-op I'm down to 139 pounds. I've lost my breast, my butt is shriveled up like a prune, my stomach is sagging, & my arms are bat wings! But with clothes on I look hot lol I'm ready!!!

Gosh I wish to have several!! But to start I wanted to get the Brazilian butt lift then come back for tummy tuck, they told me that it would be wise to just get one procedure done at a time for healing purpose.

I know!! I've been saving since forever for this procedure..he is on the expensive side.but his work is wonderful!!!

Hello sister! First off congrats on ur weight loss!! Also I have a question did Dr jimmerson suggest u get a Ty with the bbl? Because of the sagging skin on ur abdomen. I was just asking because even with the lipo it won't make the skin contract on ur skin so it might still look droopy. I was just wondering.

Yea most definately it will because it takes that extra skin and tightens it up and get rid of some if not most of those stretch marks that we ladies hate! I'm getting one in Dec

So I did a phone consult with Dr Salama Nurse and she stated that HE told her I don't have enough fat to do the Brazilian butt lift and that he recommends a body lift...In which that will make my butt even flatter than ever!! I don't want any objects inserted into my buttocks..I wish to have a nice and natural procedure! I've seen patients smaller than me used their own fat for the procedure. So anyways they are asking me to gain at least 20 to 30 pounds 0_o......Again, I'm a Gastric Bypass patient....I risked my life to lost 150 pounds not I have to gain some back LOL....ughhh Today I'm soooo frustrated.

And then on top of being frustrated ..I don't have a consult with Dr Jimerson until Sept 19th....So I HAD another Consult scheduled today at 12PM in which I paid $50.00 for and they canceled on be (DR ONOKO) ...The new consult will be tomorrow at 8AM.

wow girl kudos to you. quick question did your insurance cover the gastro? if so, maybe it will cover cosmetic costs associated with the weight loss.
User Avatar

True my insurance will cover only the hanging skin but not the full tummy tuck. I need my muscle walls pulled together and some more things....

ok. i am not a doctor but i would say try to use your insurance for the body lift and stuff. then move forward to tt and stuff cuz most doctors probably want to charge an arm and a leg. good luck but none the less i appreciate your journey. i have no excuse not to shed 20lbs. thanks for inspiration
August 27, 2012
Geesh that sucks... I also just received feedback from his nurse Nancy saying I need to lose weight like 65lbs!! That's ridiculous!! I'm over my idel weight but I carry it very well.. I will be like a tadpole if I lose that much weight! I'm also very upset now... Good luck to u.
