So, I'm finally doing it! Bought my ticket today, already have a bunch of supplies on the way, and about to decide on RH.
I went back and forth on doctors, almost made a deposit with Yili, she's great, but I really didn't like the idea of 5-6 surgeries per day, particularly because lipo on thinner patients is so much more difficult (or so they tell me) and requires more precision, and so, Baez it is. I like her work (not too many examples so far, but what I see looks good), she does only one patient a day, and she has been very responsive so far (albeit not very thorough in some responses, which seems to have more to do with English than anything else; I might switch to Spanish - mine is horrible, I learned it along the way, living in a Spanish-speaking country but I understand everything, so that might make it easier to communicate and get specific questions answered. However, I get a very good feeling from her, and feel comfortable with my choice.
About me - I've always been thin with a boyish figure, high muscle to fat ratio, 5'5'', and now 126ish lbs, which is about 10lbs more than my normal weight, and which I worked gain over the last 2 years. I'd like to gain a few more pounds, but I seem to have plateaued, and just keeping it at 126ish is sometimes a struggle.
I'm not looking for a huge bootie, just more of a womanly shape, small waist, and some hip/butt. My butt shape is ok looking straight at it, but from the side, it's kinda flat, or more like an inverted question mark - definitely not 'bubbly' :-/
I've tried squats and BBL workout and whatever I could come up with (I completed a 200-squats a day challenge last month, and guess what? yeah, no bootie! Thighs got stronger, but no bootie, and my form is purr-fect! I had sore glutes for a month, and nada!)
So, that's about it... I'll try to post some 'before' pictures, but more importantly, I plan to post 'after' pictures :)

some pics taken last week. Sadly, 10lbs weight gain resulted in quite a bit of cellulite on the back of my thighs, but I hope to fix that with exercise/proper nutrition after the surgery.

I sent a quote request to Baez a few weeks ago but my current Dr got back to me first lol. Baez was one of my top 3 drs! Good luck with every

Omg stupid phone, my msg got cut off lol. *Good luck with everything, can't wait to see how it turns out!
October 26, 2013
lol aren't phones great! Thank you, I can't wait to see how it turns out too!
Who is your current doctor? Yili got back to me first, Duran and Baez did at the same time, but in the end, I got the best 'feeling' from Baez, so that's how I decided :)

you better fatten up alittle more eat fat and carbs.. they say only 65% is usable and some of that will not adhear....
October 26, 2013
Easier said than done... took me two years to gain the 10lbs. Well, year and a half, the last six months was hard work keeping it on. I'm veggie so I'm all about carbs, and I have cholesterol issues so I have to watch my fats... and I can't do dairy so there go ice cream and milk shakes :(
I gained by adding protein shakes to my diet, and just upping my normal calories, but the problem with that was that most of the gain went to muscle. So I stopped exercising completely, including even taking walks... lol, I might as well have been on bed rest last 6 months.
I'm still hoping to get a few more pounds in, but I'm at the point of having a gag reflex when I see a protein shake or any food above and beyond what my normal needs are.

Oh, I should post a 'before' pic, from before I started trying to gain for this. The saddest part is that I had no cellulite whatsoever -all this gaining with no exercise changed that quickly. I really hope that after all is said and done, I can fix that!

Welcome & good luck on your journey. I think Baez Will give you exactly what you want. Good luck & i will be following your progress.

10 pounds ago
bohogirl75October 26, 2013
So, this is what it all looked like 10lbs ago, before I started trying to gain weight for the surgery. Notice the complete absence of cellulite, but also, almost complete absence of bootie and hips.
I only hope I can regain the cellulite-free status after I'm all healed up and can return to my regular exercise regimen!
