3 Weeks Post-Op... Happy SALAMA BOOTAY to Me!

WORTH IT$9,000

I am 44yo, 5'4", 155lbs mother of three, half black - half Chinese. I have waited so long for this - perhaps too long. I started looking into BBLs maybe some 10 years ago, and am finally taking the leap. I am doing this for ME. I want to feel confident and sexy(er) as I walk around - especially as a Black person whose culture values a nice round bootay.

Please give me a link if you are having yours done around that time.

I do feel a little apprehensive when I read about the BBL journeys posted here but...Deposit has been made, flights have been booked - so there is no turning back. My husband is coming with me, at least for the first 5 days, then we'll see how my remaining days in FL play out. He claims he is okay with my unshapely derriere but I can tell that he is excited about the potential outcome of my BBL. What black man does not like a nice full bootay!

One of my concerns is transitioning from a flat a$$ to a new sexy shape at the office. I have a desk-bound job. I will be off for 2 weeks for the procedure, but what do I do to make my sensitivity to sitting and my new shape subtle upon my return? Any tips? I have begun wearing a padded panty to create a hint of this fullness, but... Will I need to bring this boppy pillow to work? I hope not.

I am having full back and abdomen lipo (also doing arms)... my arms are thick and my legs skinny. With skinny legs, I cant afford to put too much in the caboose...lol...I want to look natural.

Masdages and wearing compression garmentas tight as you can bear is the key

Good luck! So no TT?
April 3, 2013
Considered it, but no. (1) budget (2) recovery - I am really scared of that cut and scar plus, with a BBL, I would have to be on my stomach all the time (3) figured I'd see how I do with aggressive lipo then make the call from there. What about u?

That would be great! U all set? I have my flight and hotel booked...that's all! Anyway, I have pulled stuff from the different blogs on here, so I have some sort of a list. Have you received your pre and post op instructions yet?

No, I haven't received anything!!! I was like if I don't have it in the next two weeks I'm going to contact Nancy. I stay in Miami so I don't have too much to prep for. I had a LONG extensive list but I'm trying to revise it and just have what I really need. I'm Just nervous about asking my job for time off

Lucky you being in Miami - one less thing to worry about. I know what u mean by being nervous about time off...go with ur gut. I am nervous about going back to work, with a boppy pillow and hot & sexy booty almost overnight...lol.

Lol I'm pretty thin I'm trying my hardest to gain weight for the surgery. I'm hiding my fat by wearing blazers and I also wear butt pads. But I'm going to look so dumb standing at my desk while everyone else is sitting lol
April 5, 2013
True, true...my job is a sitting one too! I am hoping that I will be able to work from home the 3rd and 4th week - I will have to come up with a good excuse though....scheming right now...lol

Ladies, am I understanding this right - that I am supposed to start pre-op vitamins 45 days before the procedure? I have not yet received any of those instructions from Dr. S' team!!!

Vets, what should I be taking? I saw on Cola8's review that the course includes bioflavonoids, arnica Montana, iron vitamin c bromelanin - is that it? What is the dosage?
