So I decided to get my BBL done ASAP after I had my consultation. I've been thinking about the surgery for about a year now, but never thought i'd actually do it. My anxiousness to get a BBL came after going on a weight lose journey and remembering how flat my butt was when I was smaller (hell, it's super flat now!). I wanted to lose the weight and gain a nice derriere!
I've lost 22lbs so far. I have 30 more to go to reach my goal weight which is why I was surprised when Dr. Cortes mentioned that I only had to lose another 5lbs for the surgery. That's SUPER easy so I was crazy excited. I've already lost 1lbs since I visited his office last so I'm guessing i'll be down by 8-10lbs for surgery.
He mentioned that he could do lipo in other areas of my body, but i'm a bit apprehensive. I'm really concerned about scarring and I'm not good with pain so I dont want to have to deal with recovering in multiple areas of my body at the same time. I'm still debating back and forth, but I have time before my pre-op appointment next week to decide.
I'll be sure to post my before and after pics.

I just had my pre-op with Dr. Cortes today and my hospital registration yesterday. I'm so anxious to get this surgery done. The lady who registered me at the hospital went on and on about how good Dr. Cortes was and how she really wanted to get him to do a BBL for her. That made me feel a lot better.
Dr. Cortes told me that I didnt have to lose any more weight. I'm actually a little disappointed because I was doing so well. I had already dropped 4lbs since I saw him a week and half ago. I could probably lose another 5 before surgery, but I'm going to listen to the Dr. and not do my own thing. :)
I also decided to let him suck the fat from wherever he sees fit. I did get to see some girls who were post op while I was in his office and noticed they all had very different results. I made sure to show him pics of what I wanted and more importantly what I didnt want. He was cool and said he knew what I was going for and that I would be pleased.
He did scare me when he mentioned possible sagging of the skin in the abdomen. I would not be happy if that happened so i'm going to keep my fingers crossed and hope my skin bounces back alright.

I just checked out the before pics that Dr. Cortes took during my pre op. It was reveling to say the least. I now absolutely hate my body and want this surgery NOW!
He doesnt want me to lose any more weight, but with all the weight I'm carrying I dont see how a few extra pounds lost would affect things that much. I'm so frustrated and cant believe I let myself go the way I did.
I just want my new body. I feel like crap right now.
