I'm 5'6" and weighed between 128-132 when I went to my consultation. Worked out everyday except Sat & Sun. Three kids and weight gain years ago took it's toll on my body. I have a very flat butt. I am having my pre-op March 14th. So excited already that I am only getting about 4-5 hours sleep a night.

I am having lipo to my inner thighs, outer thighs, back, & flanks. Not much fat in my abs but will add that if he can't get 850cc from the areas he is already taking fat from I purposely gained 20lbs for the surgery. I will have them tell me if I need to gain more when I go to my pre-op appointment.

I will be posting before pics in the next week or two. I am really suffering from anxiety, nervousness, and excitement all rolled up in one. Just really want it to turn out the way I envision it. I don't have the funds to re-do. Thus is my once in a lifetime shot to have it done right the first time.

I could have sworn I selected "worth it" when I initially set up my review. I guess not but I want it to be known that was my intention. I feel the cost quote and service I received during my consultation was well worth it.

Well, I tried numerous times to attach some before pics on here but can't. I go to the "update profile" page which is the page I'm typing on now. I see a button that is labeled "add another image" which I have clicked on over and over again but nothing happens. It's kind of strange. I have no problem using any other website or application on my computer, just this one. I emailed the REALSELF customer service who told me to hold down "shift" and click the refresh button which I did...but still no luck.Has anyone had this same problem when trying to attach a photo? If so, what did you do to resolve it?

Good luck with your surgery! I am having mine done next week by the same doctor! I heard great things about him, and hope he can deliver! I'm getting the BBL and a tummy tuck.... Hopefully soon I can post great before and after pics, and be an inspiration to future plastic surgery candidates! Keep us updated!

i will, gatorgirl!! just curious, you said you weigh between 128-132.. is that current, or is that before you gained the 20 pounds.... I've been trying to gain, but i just have no appetite, and am too nervous.. I weigh 147 at a height of 5 foot 7... hope i have enough fat :(

Hey Vicki drink 3 ensure or nutriments a day and you will put on weight with no problem. I have been doing that for the past 3 weeks and i already gained 8 pounds. Unfortunately my bbl surgery is not until may 22, so i have to put down the ensure and nutriment cans until april. lol.

Iweighed that before gaining weight. Most of it was lean muscle because I worked out 4 days a week. I just couldn't produce a butt no matter how much butt exercises I did. It was so stressful! I'm gonna get 850 cc to kinda overcompensate. I'm afraid if I go too small and start working out again and burn fat, I will end up losing the fat he injects. That's why I am going bigger and will work off any "extra" if necessary. I can always work out to remove extra fat but can't afford to pay again if there isn't enough. It was hard to gain the wait. I had to stop working out completely and eat bad for a month without letting up. If I decided to eat healthy one or two days, I would lose weight. It's been hard but will be well worth it! :)

Excited! I live in a little town in Florida called Lake City which is about six hours away from Miami. In two more days I will be driving to Miami for my pre-op appointment. I will be sure to list all the info I receive and items needed for the surgery in case it will help the next person. My husband wasn't able to a week off from his job for the surgery and we have three young children; two school age so my mom will be with me for my post op care after the surgery later this month. We will take my SUV so I will can on my stomach in the back during the six hour drive home (fun). My before pics are after I gained the weight for surgery. I would have posted a pic of me before but I don't have many pics that don't include my children. The ones that do are mainly head to waist shots so they wouldn't help any. Hopefully at my pre-op appt the doctor will tell me he can get 850cc from me and give me a butt. :)

You are going to look awesome after your surgery. You have a cute shape now. Good luck with it. I go on March 29th... =)
March 12, 2012
You are too kind. I just want the butt back that I had before gaining the weight from having my three kids 18 months apart. Seems like everything gravitated after that. LOL I worked out five days a week doing every booty exercise known to man but it just made it even smaller. Can't wait for my surgery to make it all better
March 13, 2012
After my kids my body went crazy. I dont know what the heck happened. But I dont think I had much of a butt to start with... lol. So I am hoping I get a better proportion out of this surgery. I think I am going to need like 1000ccs just to get a subtle difference.
