I'm 5'2" and currently weigh between 115 and 120. I can fluctuate in just a couple of days. Approximately 8 months ago I had a gall bladder attack and pancreatitis and lost approximately 20 lbs. I've always had a pooch, no waist, and no butt even when I was 96/98 lbs in high school. Dr. Rollins caught my eye when I saw "lunchtime lipo" on a website loooong time. He has an office in Roseville, CA, near the Bay Area. I've since moved Austin, TX. I was planning to take the flight back to California, but when I went to his website I noticed that he has an office in Houston. They've been open for approximately a little over a year. I contacted them and have been trading emails and pictures. Booked the procedure for July 2nd since it would give me a couple extra days without taking off of work. I'm flying in the morning of 7/2, the procedure at 8:30am, staying at Inn at the Hampton Suites (approx 2 minute walk, but was told they will provide transportation), and flying out July 3rd in the afternoon flight. So far my experience with the staff has been been great. I've been communicating with Channing. She said she booked me with Dr. Victor Atun because he does great BBL. My self esteem and self worth has been in the $hit hole is since the beginning of the year. Long story short I found out the person I was seeing at that time for several years got married because he thought we were done - but we talked everyday and saw each other. He didn't tell me that he got married, we continued to see each other until I found out. I'm not doing this to try to get him back but I'm hoping that this will make me feel at least a little better about myself.

Day of treatment
Today was the day - continuation
Whoops. Forgot to add the comment. Took the Austin flight to Hobby Airport in Houston... yaaaawwwnnnn. The flight was at 5:35am. I didn't sleep the night before so I was super tired. Got to the building and got a breakfast of pancakes, scramble eggs, and bacon - was told to get something to eat. The cafe is located on the first floor and they open at 7:00am. Went up to the office, checked in, changed in to those sexy bandeau bras and these tiny bottoms. It was cold but luckily they gave me a robe. The nurse started and IV line and gave me the following meds: Cephalexin, Xanax, and an anti nausea medication that I had to dissolve under my tongue. The doctor came in, took picture, and marked me up and more pics. Dr. Atun was very friendly and jovial. He tried to make me feel comfortable. Walked over to the operation room. Very clean. He poked me with this pen to numb the area - similar to a diabetic blood test prick on the finger. I didn't look when he did it but the instrument it looked like a dermal punch. It didn't hurt. The tumescent liquid did feel weird but it didn't hurt. He told me what he was going to do every step of the way. I'm not going to tell you it didn't hurt - I have low pain tolerance. There were areas - especially around the belly button - that hurt. It wasn't unbearable but it made me flinch a bit. He did the upper and lower abdomen. Then had me roll over to the side to to do the waists. Roll over, do my back, bra roll, and just above the tailbone. Next was the BBL. This was the most uncomfortable. I tried not to clench my butt cheeks, but couldn't help it. He added 500cc's to each cheek. I was told that it will go down because some will not take. Dr. Atun was very nice and kept asking how I was doing during the entire procedure. When I got off the table my tummy look uneven. I was assured that it will even out and to make sure I wear the garment. I was also given a vest garment for my bra roll. If I can same some money I'll do the arms and have him inject it into my breast by him. I was discharged with more Cephalexin and Tylenol 4's. Called the shuttle for the Hampton Inn and Suites Houston Med Center. Very close. The room is clean. I conked out for about 4 hours. The front desk they gave me a list of places to eat where their shuttle would drop people off and restaurants that delivered. I went with the Vietnamese place - Nam Noodles. Got the chicken pho and fresh spring rolls. They were pretty darn good. Took the antibiotic and the pain meds. Flying out tomorrow back to Austin.

Hi Soulorena77!
Thank you! I can't wait until the swelling goes down and things start to look a bit more normal - and hope my butt doesn't shrink down too much! I was awake during the entire procedure because I have the same fear too.
