Hello all. I am 28 years old and mother of 4 year old twins. I got married pretty young, no regrets. But I have always put my family before my own wants and need. Now it is time for me to do something for me. Once my husband and I decided that we were done with having kids I decided that I wanted to get some work done to improve my body. My weigh has always gone up and down because I have PCOS. Finally getting it under control I am at 195 and still coming down. I have done months of research on PS and finally decided to go with Dr. Fatima Almonte, I am so excited and nervous. My sx is scheduled for December 4. I am getting a Tummy tuck, Liposculpture full back, flanks waist, and arms in addition to a BBL. I have read so many reviews and feel like I am in safe hands. My only concern is PAIN. I read that I should bring my own pain medication but am unsure what exactly. Any advice is welcomed. I spoke with Lesley and Dr. Almonte booked my appt, and will be paying my deposit tomorrow. Also ladies any advice on a recovery house and if it is worth it to hire a nurse for the first night (contact info) would be great. Thanks in advance.

Welcome my new friend! ! Our time is winding down. I am also trying to find out about hiring a nurse for the hospital stay because I have heard both good and bad about the one night stay. I think I may want one. We may find one and you have her the first day and I can have her the next.

Deposit - check
Vitamins - check
Starting to mark stuff off list of things to do. I go to the doctors tomorrow to get an exam and check my levels. Hopefully my iron isn't low. I still have two months to go but I know this time is going to fly by, so I need to get serious about taking all these pills. Still trying to figure out what yo do about pain medication.

I've been trying to reach dr alamonte for a quote. How much deposit does she need to lock in your date?

I believe $350 to save the date. Try contacting her assistant Lesley, she usually returns message/email right away lastest a day or two.

Sitting after BBL

Hello ladies, hope everyone is having a great day. I have a question and was hoping that one of our beautiful ladies who has already gone through with their surgery could help me out. After you got your BBL did they lay you on your back how were you sitting/ laying? I read that you should not sit for 3 weeks after a BBL. Also many of us fly home after 10 days so did sitting on an airplane for x amount of hours mess with your results. Please help.

Hey girl, I had a BBL in April, and I sat on my butt from day one. I had to lay on my back also because I had a TT. A lot of the docs say it doesn't make a difference if you sit/lay on your back, but then some of them do say it could affect your results.

Thanks Hun, I appreciate it. I was a little worried about that.

I've heard that if you sit on your butt it can kill the fat cells. They say NO pressure for 2-3 weeks. This is what I read from others and also from the Dr.on this site. . They say purchase the body pillows, I'm assuming they are the longer pillows, place them side by side and place your hip or butt between the pillows so your not touching the bed or putting pressure on your butt. I didn't understand at first but tried it and it works! Also was recommended to purchase a Bobby pillow to sit on, it will help on your trip back. I was told to place it where your butt is not touching. Not sure if this help but I will say this.. I'm not sitting on my new a$$ for no reason. I never had a one and I'm not taking any chances to go back flat or for a round 2!
