Surgery is 3 weeks out

I'm super nervous. I think I've watched every possibly video on YouTube from other girls BBL journeys. I also helped my best friend heal from her bbl last year and watching her come out of surgery was intense. Scared me into NEVER having one myself.... fast forward a year later and her body is amazing and now I definitely have to get snatched after seeing her results. Hopefully my recovery won't be as rough as hers since everyone is different. Fingers crossed on that one. I'm most nervous to possibly not wake up after surgery but I'm only worried about that bc I've never been put under before. The next big hump is days 1-4. My best friend wasn't herself until day 4. The first few days she was in so much pain. Beauty is pain tho so I'm totally ready to level up and get snatched. I'm taking Iron & drinking vitamin C packets everyday. And I've got my pre-op labs this next Tues. I'm also cutting out drinking two wks before surgery so my last drink of the year will probably be this weekend. I'm so ready to just be there already!!!! I'm over stressing myself and obsessively researching before and afters and every article possible. My dreams are all about bbls and my anxiety is thru the roof. The next 3 weeks can't come quick enough. 12.4.19

Can you lmk if they do drug testing? I smoke like 2-3 times a day and I'd like to know if I'll have to quit. Good luck with ur surgery girls! I know you'll have AMAZING RESULTS. Hes definitely one of the best BBL surgeons! Oh and Ive had a previous bbl and I was also worried about going under, for the same reason as yourself, and I stressed over NOTHING. It felt like I knocked out in a second and woke up.a minute later lol.

I'm pretty sure they so drug test, the morning of surgery you have to have some blood work done to make you pass. So you'll need to take a 2 week break before surgery to make sure you don't have to pay cancelation fees. & thank you! I'm verrrrrry nervous and am freaking out about being out down. Hopefully it'll just feel like a really good nights sleep :)

Thanks so much, for the information. I figured that because my last surgeon did the same thing and actually did a test for nicotine too! I know you will be fine, your in the best hands

Okay so thought I should update you. I read that you get drug tested the day before surgery but they didn't test me???? They just used the resultant primary care doctor sent over from all the pre-op tests I had to get done and have emailed over two wks before surgery.... only test they did the morning of surgery was a pregnancy test. So I'm NOT encouraging you to just pass your pre-ops and then start smoking aging right up until surgery (bc it can cause huge complications when they put your under anesthesia). But it's your choice so thought I'd tell you, turns out Mendieta doesn't drug test you the day of surgery. He just uses the results from your pre-op. So maybe ask your primary care physician if any of the blood test they run will show you smoke and get their advice. I even told Mendieta I smoked weed within the last 30 days. They didn't care.

I’ll be flying out to Miami in 6 days. My pre-op appointment is scheduled for 1 pm on 12/3/19. I’m staying at a RH and hope I have a good experience. I’m still very nervous about having surgery but am more ready to get it over with so I can start the healing process. I’ve gained 10 pounds and look forward to it all being put in my booty & hips. I’m 5’7.5” and currently weigh 150 IBS. I typically like to be around 136 IBS but have been trying hard to gain weight and hope I’ve got stable enough fat that will survive the transfer. I’ve got my stuff all packed and everything already paid for. I’m tired of my sleepless nights bc of being anxious about surgery so I’m really looking forward to it being over and to be thru day 5 of healing. My goal is to have an upside down heart. I don’t want a shelf but also don’t want too low of a butt once it drops if I only get fat put in the bottom half. I’ll have to wait and see what Dr. Mendieta tells me will work for my body type. I’ve taken measurements and am not sure how big my hips or butt could get. I definitely do not want a huuuuuuge butt, but I do want projection and curves. Currently I’m a rectangle shape. More athletic of a build. Want sexy curves that look more natural. No shelf at all. I’ll post pic’s soon showing my additional weight gain.

I forgot to mention that I haven’t really asked many questions to my coordinator. Luckily I’m the type A personality that does a TON of research before making my decisions. So there really isn’t anything she could tell me that I haven’t already read about over the Internet. And my best friend had surgery with the same dr last yr and she looks awesome. She’s also a lawyer and my backup just in case something bad happens to me :) so I feel protected and taken care of and know that Dr.Mendieta will help answer any additional questions I have when I meet with him in person the day before. I know my nerves are going to get the best of me so I’m putting any questions into a post-it on my phone so I don’t forget.
