$11,200

I heard about this surgery about 12 years ago from a chick I used to dance with. She said she was going to get her butt done in ATL. Ever since she told me about it I was interested. I already was planning on getting lipo to my abdomen and flanks, and i figured I might as well use the fat instead of them just throwing it away. Problem is that every consult I went to here where I live in Pittsburgh, all the PS's said the same thing,"That won't work, the fat will die". So I ended up just getting lipo. I told the PS not to take too much fat out my belly though. (I knew that I would eventually find a PS that would be able to do it).

Earlier this year I finally found a PS here that does the bbl. I came on Realself to find more info on him. I got sidetracked though when I was looking at before and after pics and found Dr. Jimerson's pics. At that point I forgot all about that PS from here and called and scheduled my consult with Dr. J.

My consult was 10/10/2012. I will be getting lipo to abdomen, flanks, bra roll, and inner thighs, fat grafted to hips & butt. I was quoted at $11,200. Sx is 5/23/2013. At the time when i sent my pics I was already 8lbs heavier than i like to be (i'm 5'7 168lbs/ 38-30-40), and was told like everyone else to gain 10-15lbs! I told them I'm already 8lbs over and they said with the results I want I need to gain more :( I stopped working out and I feel so disgusting. My thighs are a mess! I gotta tighten them up as soon as i can after sx.

I didn't book yet but I'm thinking of going to the Hyatt for my stay,mainly for the shuttle. I still gotta get financed, but i'm paying off a collections account (which will be paid in full later this month) and my credit cards. I figure I'll try my credit union first and than try the other sx financing companies if that don't work. I paid high interest for the lipo I had done, and don't want to do that again. Can anyone tell me would it be too early to book my flight and hotel 6 months ahead???

Hello, enjoyed your post. Just my opinion, i would not book room or flights until i get my medical clearances because if you don't get your clearance you may have change your sx date. which would cause you to maybe lose your money on your flights and hotel. however good luck...i am team jcurvess too.i will post my journey closure to my sx date feb 2013.

Hey Cream. Good luck to you. Dr. J is really good at what he does. I wouldn't book anything until you get clearance.

Thanks ladies :) I hope booking a couple weeks before I'll be able to get the airline and hotel I have in mind. So another thing I was thinking is...If this credit union don't finance me, how easy is it to get qualified for financing with the companies Dr. J works with??? I'm holding off on applying to anywhere, because I want to try to get my credit score up more (my average score i 645).

I think one of the companies automatically approves you for $5K. The others will look at your credit history

So I told my cousin about the BBL and was telling her how I'm gonna give her all my jeans since I'm gaining weight for the sx and can't fit them. She was like "How much weight you gotta gain" and I told her. Why did she say,"So he's gonna give you 15Lbs of ass"! CTFU!!! LoL

Just seen my new pcp today. Got a script of Chantix so i can quit smoking :) Informed her about my bbl, and had to explain it to her cause she never heard of it. CBC and pre-op physical are scheduled. Only one problem.... for some reason my b/p was high today. It normally isn't and i'm a little concerned. I have to monitor my b/p for the next 2 weeks and if it's still high i gotta go on meds for it :( Hopefully this is just a fluke, but we'll see.
