Omg I'm so excited! This is my first on realself post so hopefully it goes through lol. Im going to start by saying I've wanted a booty for as long as I can remember, I've went to the gym tried gaining weight and nothing has worked , I'm tired of my flat booty! I have 2 kids my weight is 125 and Im 5'5. I'm so happy that I'm going to be having my bbl done by Dr. D. I had my pre appointment May 24, He is very friendly and very knowledgeable. Ive been trying to gain some weight but as of now I'm fluctuating between 123 - 126 hopefully by the 10 I'll be at 130. I have bought some things that I think ill need for after the surgery. Im pretty thin but he said he can get fat from my back and belly, I told him I want good projection and to try to fit as much as possible in lol, Im more worried about not having enough vs having to much especially because some of it reabsorbs. I really want a round high bubbly booty but Im also trying to be realistic with the amount of fat I have. Ill post some wish pics and my own pics. I'm so nervous about the recovery but at the same time I'm more excited. feel free to comment or ask any questions Ill answer the best way I can, Ill def keep you guys updated.

Hi..I also went to my consultation on May 24th. I have not yet booked my appointment with Dr. V. I'm only 5'2 and weight 140. He said that he can get fat from my back and stomach. I wish you the best. Please keep me posted I will be following your journey.

Yes Will do. The day I went in for my consultation someone had called the office to reschedule. I was excited I got to schedule my surgery a month earlier than if she hadn't called.

Ive been researching for a while, I knew I didn't want to go overseas, I debated Miami but luckily I came across Dr.D. I like his before and afters on thinner patients. During my initial meeting he was very patient and detailed. While I was in the office I met 3 girls that had done the procedure with him and they all came out great.

i like his before and after pics as well just really would like to see more reviews on his work. happy and safe journey!

Ive been eating as much as I can, that I'm now tired of eating but I'm going to force myself these last few days Im hoping I'm going to get to 130-35 but time is just flying, so I'm getting nervous. its odd I can see the weight adding up in my face and double chin but not on my body. If any of u guys have tips on gaining weight fast let me know. Ive been drinking shakes eating burgers , bacon cheetos everything.

Hey! We are very similar height/weight. I have been struggling - didn't want to gain a lot of weight but wow I can seem to gain any. I guess I wasted a lot of energy over the years worrying about weight gain that can't even seem to happen now I want it! Question - where did the doctor tell you he would lipo?
June 4, 2016
NM! Just saw you said back and belly. Will be following your journey!

hey I forgot to ask you..what was your final weight before you had surgery? I am 5'5" around 128 now. I have surgery on August 29. I want to get to 135 by then and I have stopped doing sit-ups. I thought gaining weight would be easy. Its really not. I have been fluctuating also..I feel like one day I eat so much but then haven't gained anything...I do feel kinda gross with the food I am eating..Totally not what I would usually eat AT ALL!..I think I might try one of those weight gainer protein powders..I am kinda sick of cheese lol

I gained a pound and got to 126 lol I couldn't believe it. I was eating so much and I could see my face was getting fat but the scale remained the same . Now I'm so happy I didn't end up gaining too much weight though because there was no way I was gonna be able to maintain it . After surgery my butt would have disappeared completely but now I know that the fat I do have will remain because it's been there for years . 2 bananas with milk n 4 scoops of pb is like 900 calories so if u drink that twice you should be good . I used to freeze mine so it was a pb shake.
July 21, 2016
Wow so you really didn't gain much?! Ok I feel better. When I saw him he told me to gain at least 5 because I had lipo before and it's uneven. He wants to smooth it out. 2!years? Didn't you just have it done?? Twice a day?? Or just 2 times before surgery?
July 21, 2016
Your results are perfect. I have a similar body shape and a little butt so I think I should look similar to you. So excited!

Yea I just had it done , I meant the stubborn fat in my stomach has been there for years so I know it wouldn't just disappear after I had the bbl . Vs if I gained weight and then I couldn't maintain the new fat I'd lose the booty . The shake u can drink twice a day everyday .
July 21, 2016
I get it! Ok I will give it a try but it might make me gag lol

Reschedule

Tomorrow was supposed to be in my surgery but Got a call today from Dr.D 's office that they have to reschedule it . Dr.D wasn't feeling well and had to cancel . I'm so bummed I was so ready and excited to finally have it done, I rather have him work on me while he's at his best but still it's messing with me. Hopefully they give me a new date for early next week, fingers crossed . I guess I can deal with one more week of flat booty lol
