3 weeks post. Snatched and Stacked (new pics)
Hello my BBL sisters! I have been browsing this...
Hello my BBL sisters! I have been browsing this site for many months now and have been motivated by the various experiences shared. Now finally I have the time (and courage) to post. I couldn't push it off any longer with my date coming up so fast cause lawd knows I need the support! I also feel it's important for me to talk through my experiences because I have learned so much from others who have.
Now....I have had a flat booty all my life and BBL is my dream surgery! There is other "stuff" out there, but I would be way to scared to inject anything foreign into my ass....um no, never gonna happen. I know everyone wants a great body and posterier but as an AA female, its expected that you have at least a donkey if not a stallion (for all my RHOA fans, lol). Well, the booty gene skipped me. And to make matters worse, I have a belly and back fat...ugh. I dont have any kids so I can't use that excuse, lol. My highest was 215 after slowly creeping up over time. Well I have worked very hard and sacrificed good food and carbs and lost lost 30 lbs in the past year. I am currently 5'6 185 and I hope to lose 10 more pounds before my procedure. I turn 30 this year and this is my bday present to myself!! My procedure is 2 months before my bday so hopefully I will be healed and comfortable enough to really enjoy my new body.
My date is March 11th and I am traveling by myself and am looking for a buddy! I plan to have a nurse of course but if anyone else is getting theirs done on or near this date and are interested in buddying up, let me know.
I also have a dilemma... (opinions / advice appreciated!) A friend of mines has a short weekend cruise planned 3.5 weeks after my procedure date. Do you think I can go? I hate to cancel but it would be pointless to try to go and not be able to enjoy myself. I would try to avoid sitting as much as I can, but I'm sure we will be sitting around eating/drinking, etc...Other than that, I am not really sure how much time I would be in a sitting situation. I dont sunbathe, but if i found myself out like that, I would try and lay on my stomach if i could. is 3.5 weeks too soon?
The other thing I am trying to figure out is how soon before I can work. I really dont want to take 2 weeks off of work, so If i can take off just 3 days to a week max and just work remotely the next week. I just need to understand what the pain level would be and if I would be comfortable enough to work. I work on the computer so i would pretty much be on emails and calls all day. I'm also realizing now that pain meds may have me groggy and unable to work at all.
I will be posting my before photos real soon!

Hi ladies....So....i've been scouring the net for...
So since it looked like either way I would spend a ton of money, I decided to go priceline name your price. I said what the hell, If I am going to pay a grip for a hotel then I am going to go all out and get a nice one on the beach hopefully on a good deal. My priceline criteria was for 2 adults since I wanted at least 2 doubles as I plan to have a nurse and a friend the first day). Well, they ended up putting me in Daddy-O hotel.....It turns out daddy-o hotel is a boutique hotel with only KING beds!!!!! It looks gorgeous but Ummmmmm NO. I cant do that with a nurse.... I called and tried to cancel, explained I needed 2 beds and told them about my surgery, etc. They were not hearing it. I called both priceline and hotel and no budge. I was literally about to cry because I refuse to pay that much (nearly 2 stacks) for anything that is already way over priced and not exactly what I wanted. So I called my CC to cancel it (the guy at Chase was so understanding and said I shouldnt have a problem....thank God for that). The thing is I need to wait for the charge to post to my CC before I can cancel through my cc. I am not about to book any other place until I am sure I can cancel this.
I need to be focusing on packing and getting everything I need, but I am still focusing on the hotel....Oh I tried air bnb and looking for rentals etc, but they are either not available, not meeting my needs or nearly as expensive as the hotels....And i need to be close to the dr because I will only have help for a couple of days. I am at a loss and back to square 0....I am hoping that by tomorrow the charge will post to my CC and I can get it removed. Suggestions welcome
