Like many of you, I have been on RealSelf for a while now. Years in fact. I've been wanting a BBL for so long and now I'm about to get one!

So, a little bit about myself. I'm 25. 5'5''. 150 pounds. My waist is about 30" and my butt is 41". I'm going to post some of the pics that I sent to Dr. Salama. I was told not to gain any weight. I should've asked if I needed to lose any.

Anyway, I'm going to ask him to put as much into my butt as he can (like almost every other woman wants, right?) so that when I start working out, I'll still have a nice size behind back there. We will see what happens. Surgery in less than a month!

Girl, you are going to look great. You are not big with a lot of fat. So you are going to get an ass for days with a slim look to your stomach and back.

First, I just want to say thank you to those who have commented on my review! I really appreciate the community here!

So I just paid off the balance of my surgery! It's starting to feel real!

But I haven't gotten my labs done yet. An EKG is expensive! And seeing that I'm in my 20s, I don't understand why I need one. But I have to get one nontheless. And I'm uninsured. Ugh. Anyone have any advice?

You have time to prepare! I did everything very quickly. I talked to Cynthia in May and my surgery is July 8.

I Google the price of an EKG and it can be anywhere between $300 - $1000!

I found a place near me that does test based on income so I'm going to go to them and see what they say.

July is right around the corner . Please update us girls and let us know please

Lab Tests

Hello everyone.

So I just got off the phone with my local hospital to get the cost of all the labs and with the 30% discount for being uninsured, they're going to cost me about $758.

$758

That is ridiculous and definitely NOT an expense that I was expecting. I don't know what I'm going to do. So just a heads up for all of you who are researching this procedure, if you're not insured then add about another extra $1000 for just tests.

I'm so discouraged right now.

Is it free if your insured? Sounds like it would be cheaper for you just to temporarily get a policy for that much. That shady they didn't tell you that upfront

Hey,I heard labs from labcorp.com for all the test needed for sx is around 200$ ..check them out
June 23, 2015
thanks for the info

Do you have a Labcorp in your area? I just got all my labs done plus a full thyroid panel and it was only $260 so yours would probably be way less since you don't have to do the thyroid one. Also I found a walk in clinic that does the EKG for $50! Try to find a medical weight loss clinic (most of them do EKG's because of the diet pills they prescribe) or a walk in clinic for the EKG. Definitely don't do anything at the hospital. I don't have insurance either so I shopped around for prices for at least week to find the cheapest places. You and I look soooo much a like as far as shape/build so I can't wait to see your results!! Do you have a date scheduled yet? Mine is in 3 weeks :)

On the paper, the tests are abbreviated, so I'm not sure what all of them are, but here is the list:
CBC
PT
PTT
HCG Urine
UA C&S
CMP
EKG
HIV
Hgb A1c

I hope they cover most of it too, because it is expensive!! Best of luck!
