Expect to have a successful surgery, no complications and wake up with a flat tummy with minimum pain! Also getting a BBL. hopefully I will not be in extreme pain due to the fact I'm coming out of state alone. I just hope I'm able to help myself. I will be staying by a friends house so hopefully that will help just in case I can not accomplish things on my own

Welcome to the community.   How long will you stay in Atlanta after your surgery?

2weeks
September 22, 2014

I'm trying I'm worried about recovery now reading all these reviews and I just want all the pain too be worth it!
September 23, 2014
I know...it will be.  Remember each person is different with the pain they experience.  You may have very minimal pain for a short time.  Positive thoughts...

I wouldn't recommend staying alone after surgery.. I had the same procedures done, the recovery is not easy. I stayed with Terris at gold platinum care.. she helped with everything, I couldn't imagine doing it alone..

That's exactly who I will be staying with I paid the other day because I thought about it but how did you sleep?

Awesome!! Terris and nurse "D" took good care of me. You will be in good hands. I slept on my stomach, even though I was told not to. I got butt, hips, tummy tuck and upper & lower back lipo... I had lots of pillows.. so I wasn't flat on my stomach... it was comfortable to me

Woohoo, how exciting!!!! Omg- girl it's getting close to sx time. You will definitely come out looking like a super model, chick. I'm a huge fan of Dr. Curve's work. I too will be alone for my BBL with Dr. Ortega at Spectrum Aesthetics in April 2015 but hopefully will stay at a recovery house and have help. I pray everything will work out for you and yea hopefully your friends will be true friends and help you.=) Don't be scared chick. Everything will be fine. You are in great hands. Let's claim that you will have a safe and speedy recovery! Think happy and positive thought. Super happy for you chick=) Sending lots of love xoxoxo

Thanks so much I appreciate the love..... I'm just having so much anxiety and dreaming about butts all day lol!!!! I am utilizing one of the services offered now so I will not be by my friend but something like a recovery center also. But good luck too you also ma'am!!!! I love real self because it's let's you know your actually not alone in the process. keep in touch

Ditto, chick. When I first opened an account with RS I was looking at pics of butts just dreaming that one day I will be able to look and have a big butt like these other beautiful women. So many pics to choose from for wish pic. I just want the ideal body like everyone else big boobs, tiny waist and huge bootay, lol RS is so addicting....Try my best not to be here all the time but it's hard. lol Anyways, glad to hear you found a place and hopefully they will be attentive to your needs. My family is not supportive which I respect their input but I'm doing me bc this will make me feel so much better. Always had a very low-self esteem and after two kids it got worse so I need to feel good about myself and I think this will make me a better mommy, wife, women overall. So yes thank God for RS. Love this site. So helpful and inspiring.... definitely will keep in touch, girly!!! xoxoxo
September 30, 2014
Yes girl my family don't even know because I know they will not agree do I'm just pop up like bammmmmm lol I mean they know I am a gym rat now since I lost 100lbs and I still have a butter just want bigger so they gonna just think squats worked but see this stomach those kids messed me over
October 2, 2014

No need to worry Dr. J is going to hook you up. You're going into surgery just Iike you should... POSITIVELY! That's exactly what I did. I spoke it and I got it. Just make sure your iron levels are up. That was my only major problem after sx. I was anemic pre -op. I was able to increase my numbers for sx but they quickly declined after. That's one miserable feeling. But best wishes. I see your day is approaching soon. Be good once you get that Badd body Gurl! Feel free to ask any questions if needed.

Thanks makingmydreamscometrue I'm concerned about my iron also and I'm trying to figure out my iron levels my doctor didn't give me an answer and when I called dr j office they came saying my chart is on his desk for review so I don't know why it is but my iron has always been a number or two below normal and I have been taking iron supplements..... After surgery did you immediately have to take iron again? What happened?

Oh yes. I immediately went back to iron. I actually was fainting girl. Thank God both times my nurse was there with me. The first time I had to go to the emergency room and was told I may have to get a blood transfusion (thank God that didn't happen). I was sent home and instructed to double my iron which I did and I felt 100% better after that. *I took PurIron. It really brought my levels up. It's taste like raw meat but it works beautifully.

Oh my thankfully everything went well and you weren't alone.
