I am anxiously awaiting the time for my surgery. I am 23, 5'9" 199 lbs. I plan on getting down to 175-180. I will achieve my goal weight before surgery so I can focus on maintaining my appearance.

After the birth of my second child my booty got smaller. I was always thick with a big booty. I still have booty but it doesn't compare to what I had.I am just ready to be happy and healthy. My main priority right now is to lose 7lbs before 2012.

I hope to meet many supportive friends. I know my sx if far from now but I couldn't help but post sum before pics.I will post better pics throughout my journey.

Dra. Cardenas is one of a kind. I have never came across a doc so caring and supportive. I got a TT, lipo to waist, back, and inner thighs. I love my TT!!! I never thought I would feel the way I do. It has given me sooo much more confidence.

March 28th I arrived at BC and met many wonderful women. I was there with Free, Thicknthighs, Latina Hermosa, Mimi4me, and Osenuous(sp). Immediately, I was greeted and fed. I ate waffles, eggs, and a fruit salad. The fresh pineapple juice was delish! I met Dra. Cardenas that night and she talked to me. I was sooo nervous. I went to sleep early becuz I couldnt eat anything after 8.

March 29th I woke up to shower thoroughly. I was at sx center for 8:00. After signing paperwork, I got undressed and marked up. Cardenas explained to everything to me thoroughly. I was sooo nervous I didnt hear most of what she said. The anesthesgiologist was very nice. Nxt thing I know I was being rolled in sx, I was given an IV. I saw them prepping the instruments, then I was sleep. I woke up in recovery. Idk what time it was! I was very weak and in pain. I barely slept.

March 30th Cardenas came by in the morning n told me sx went well n that my skin was VERY tight! I was only able to get 800ccs and 250 in each hip. I went back to BC and recovered there.

I had fun at BC. The nurses took great care of me. They wasnt always the fastest moving ppl. However, when u have a house of 6 women in pain I wouldnt be that fast either. The food was fresh and healthy. It wasn’t always something I liked but I knew ti was good for me. I dint have much of an appetite anyway. My sheets were changed daily! My room and bathroom was cleaned daily! Also, my garment was washed daily. The only complaint I have is that I wish the phones worked better.

All of the women I met at BC I stay in contact with them. I had a great time at BC. The nurses made sure I was taken care of. The 1st 3 days po are a blur to me. All I remember from those days was arriving after sx, walking up the stairs and being put in the bed. I remember nothing else. Lol. I was very uncomfortable!!! It wasnt extreme pain but is major discomfort. It was hard finding a position to get in. The boppy was not as comfy as ppl said. I slept with my boppy for the 1st 3 days. After that, I slept on a pillow. The 1st shower I took felt soooooooooo good!!! The 1st days I took a shower the nurses assisted me. I took a shower by myself. I got about 5-7 massages. They felt great! It helped me sooo much. The 1st time was kind of painful but I felt much better afterwards. Day 5 I felt much better.After that everything continued to get better. I got my stitches taken out on Day 8. I left BC on April 8th.

When I got home, my lower tummy began to swell. I was still stiff n sore but I felt ok. The stiffness was the worst part. I got tired very easily! Just putting on clothes, I would huffing n puffing! Its exhausting. Plz be prepared. I hope u have help. I needed help going to the store. I would get so tired n over heated real fast. The TT had me feeling a “pulling" sensation. Finally, I began to feel normal about 4 weeks po.
