ABOUT TO HIT THE 2-MONTH POST-OP MILESTONE

It has been wickedly fast, this road to a sculpted bod. It was JUST last week that I called Dr.J's office and was given a Sept 12th face-to-face consult date. Then, I discovered on THIS site that if we pay our $500 deposit, we could hopefully secure an earlier date. I called back on Jan 4th and was told that "yes, this is indeed true", but I had to leave a message for a call back from the scheduler.

I got back on THIS site and saw that if you are able to pay cash for your procedure, you could hopefully secure an even earlier date. I called back on Jan 7th...and was given a consult date FOR THE VERY NEXT DAY due to a scheduling change.

I was told that Dr. J is usually not in on Tuesdays, but, amazingly, he WOULD be there for my consultation! I spoke to Michelle, who everybody knows is AMAZING. She's got a slender build, one of his first patients, tight body, and jiggly J curves! Oh, and a great personality, as well!

I then saw Dr. J, and let me say, he's like a teddy bear. Great smile, warm personality, nice voice, and very, very easy to talk to and cut up with. He put me totally and completely at ease.

Afterwards, Michelle returned and confirmed for me that the earliest that they were scheduling surgeries at this point was Aug 2013....BUT, because an appointment fell through, Dr. J had an opening for FEB 2013. Would I take it? WOULD I TAKE IT? But of course!

And so, here I am, like so many other women on this site who have looked at their tummy or flanks or bra rolls in the mirror and said to their reflection: "If only I could move all of this from here to....there (my poor little flat bootay). Like all of you, whether slender or fluffy, I want full, round, juicy, plump, jiggly, soft assets. I want those J Curves, dang it!

Like some of you, I've been called "top heavy" all of my adult life and I'm so over it. Carrying most of my weight primarily above my hips, I absolutely CANNOT believe that this miracle of modern science exists! I can actually try to DO something about it! Get this puppy adjusted to what I want: a proportionate, curvaceous BAH-DAY.

Unfortunately, thanks to McDonald's sweet iced tea, I've picked up even more weight in my midsection than ever before. So, I'm on a diet AND I'm doing Tapout XT for the next five weeks in an attempt to avoid having to have a tummy tuck, and maybe even to avoid having to have my bra rolls done.

You see my "before" pics. I was going to call it a "hot mess", but then I changed my mind. It's NOT a hot mess. I thank God for a healthy body overall, for working organs, my arms, my legs, the ability to see, hear, speak, and move about independently. I'm not ungrateful for my body overall. I'd just like to tweak it a little. Besides, abdominal fat is unhealthy, according to all of the experts. Let's just shift it from here.....down to here. Is that ok? After that, I'm done tweakin'.

I'm hoping for the best. Dr. J sculpts some of THE MOST AMAZING BODIES that I've seen created by cosmetic surgeons. I am working to be in the best health possible for my procedure.

So, once I sign off, I'm going to do my Tapout "Strength and Force Upper" with "Ultimate Abs". Gotta shed some of pounds from my 5'3", 173 pound frame (I know, I know!).

I wish the very, very best to all who are awaiting surgery with Dr J, and all who are in recovery. To my teammates of TEAM J, I say: "GOOOOOOOO TEAM!!!"
