It just hit me that this is real no more false alarms this is the real deal! I'm nervous, scared, apprehensive, and elated all at once this is CRAY CRAY! Regardless I need to prepare, what are somethings that I should have? I made a list but it never hurts to add to it. I am also concerned about my weight, I have gained weight already but not sure if I should gain more. I am 5'4 152 36,32,33 (may be off by a little). So what do you ladies think, gain some or i'm ok? The problem with gaining weight for me is that it all goes to my boobs 1st then stomach, then back. I DO NOT WANT BIG BOOBS! The areas that he will be lipoing are my arm, full stomach, full back. I do not want a HUGE butt I would like a little projection, but hips are my main thing! I will be meeting with him this Friday, and I will see what he says and also keep you guys updated, if your in the Houston are you don't have to travel to Fl there is a Dr. Salama right here in TX.

I didn't tell anyone but my hubby. My butt was always big, but I lost it after a major weight loss. I wore butt pads for so long & increased the size over the months before surgery so no one really noticed. Only difference is now when people say they want my @ss I know it's my Real @ss & not a butt pad. Lol

I've have only told my boyfriend and a few Best Friends who are all supportive. Everybody don't need to know your business.

Hey girl! Yeah my weight goes to my boobs and stomach but i like big boobs LOL my weight is 155 and im 5ft tall :p so needless to say i feel huge! lol I would say dont gain more weight if it affects your face, neck and arms, like me, bc once you have a tiny waist it might look unproportionate, and to reduce them you have to lose weight which will cause your butt to go down too since the fat there will react the same way. hope that helps :)

Im gonna say I have a personal trainer, been working out focusing on certain areas, using the Brazilian Butt Lift video and following a strict diet that allows you to lose weight in targeted areas....lol!!

I agree -this will be my line too

Yeah, thats an easy excuse. It's alot to say, but it can better explain all the changes to your body and seems more realistic.

Plus I don't have a whole lot of fat to be removed, I'm slim and I already wear a butt lifter under my clothes which makes me look my butt is bigger than it really is. The lifter makes me look more toned and gives the look of more projection since it's a compression style lifter. The BBL surgery will just make me look much better than the lifter, w/o the lifter. I totally think just telling folks I've been dieting and working with a personal trainer will be much more believable. :) I'm so excited, I cant wait til Feb. I pray everything just goes smoothly!!

It's funny- it's like where do you start with explaining where you magically grew that new booty. People may stare and sometimes comment but it's like do you really feel like going thru the entire explaination of what a BBL is. The more I think about it when I time comes I will probably just stick to the line of working out and a personal trainer. Think that's more simple than explaining a BBL procedure or being accused of butt shots or anything else rediculous.

Good suggestion ladies! I was thinking the same thing but automatic hips are sort of hard to explain, regardless ppl will still have their opinions, but I doubt they will think I got a bbl!

So I have decided to go with Dr. Lapuerta, my consultation is 10/26/12 I have finally made up my mind. If i keep doubting myself I will never get this procedure done. I set a date even b4 the consultation just so I do not renege ( I am good at doing that) the date is Nov. 21. I will keep u all posted on how it goes. He prices are a little higher than stated ($8000) but if u get other work done it's $6000.

I live in Austin but have had PS in Houston before by Dr. Fortes, who is amazing. I went to a consult with him, but he said I didn't have enough fat to achieve the look I desired, so I sent Dr S some photos and he said he could make me look amazing. I'm booked with Dr S in Aventura Florida, but not until June 6th. I soooooo desperately want an early sx date because the TX HEAT is brutal in June!!
