Not Doing The BBL Just Yet

After much thinking, reviewing RS and looking in the mirror (eek!) I've decided to put off having the BBL and do the TT first...I think.

I Have a consultation next week with Dr. Younai to discuss a TT letting him know I want a BBL later, probably with Dr. Hughes. I want to see what Dr. Younai has to say about that and about my weight loss.

I am so excited about the possibilities!

Yes, you can and I thought about it but I think the recovery would be difficult for me since you can't sleep on your tummy or your back, plus when I get my BBL I want fat grafting to my hips as well. Not to mention I want 2 different doctors for each procedure.

Yes, I had a consult with him the other day for a TT. The quote was significantly higher than what I expected so now the whole thing is questionable. I still have a consult with Dr. Hughes scheduled. In the meantime, I continue with the weight loss. One thing about Dr. Y. I didn't like is I handed him a list of questions and he answered most but not all. I wanted to see which ones he would skip over and he skipped over a big one which was - Will weight loss affect the cost of my procedure? In the very beginning of our conversation he told me how long it would take me to lose 50-70 lbs. I think he is a brilliant doctor and can do wonders for me, but a little concerned about the cost and his lack of caring/encouraging me to lose weight.

His TTs are really good and I think he will do a wonderful job on me. I just have to get past the cost.

Hi Shiny, you look fantastic and honestly your before pictures looked great too. :) I'm looking at getting all the same procedures as you. Tummy tucks & breast lifts are common so not too worried about finding a Dr to perform those surgeries. I'm interested in getting a medial thigh lift but have been concerned with the incisions near the groin area. I've heard they can migrate down and also cause problems with your labia. Did the doctor discuss any of these potential issues and did he have any before and afters (a few years out) results to share? From your pictures, it appears your incisions are hidden under your panty line, which is great! I'm hoping I can get some improvement with on the thighs with a tummy tuck before doing the thigh lift. Did the Dr. mention if it would help in your case? I know, I have so many questions... I've been wanting to get work done for over 20 years, just nervous about the Dr. making things worse and waiting for more info on the thigh and arm lifts. :-/ you mentioned the arm lift, was this for a full arm lift? I have been wanting to do the arm lift but through the armpit, have you considered doing that or did the Dr. mention it? How are your scars healing? What do you recommend for scars? I'm planning in making my appts next month for surgery in Dec/Jan. Best wishes

Dr Hughes will never and hasnt told anyone to lose weight for their bbl in order for them to get dramatic results. Thats what i love about him he takes you as you are. Iv looked at alot of q&a and anytime people ask if they should lose weight he says no. He says that they are fine at their current weight. He will also discount for combining procedures. I am scheduled to have a tt/ba/bbl next mid may to june of 2015. I have already put money down towards him but ultimately for some people that pay less you get what you pay for.

My PCP Visit

So I have been eating clean and increased by exercise so I was totally disheartened today when I went to my PCP and stepped on the scale only to find out I have not lost any weight in the past month. Can you say frustrated!

On a positive note I told her my plans for having PS around September once I get closer to my goal weight and she was not concerned. She just asked me what type of PS I wanted. So she is all on board. She's hooking me up with a nutritionist to help me along in the 3 months we will do more lab work to see how I am coming along.

It feels great to that my PCP has my back on this. It will be a team effort.

Hi my name is ShinyNewPenny and I'm a realself-aholic.

I was on this website at 1a this morning reading blogs, looking at wish pictures, checking doctor reviews, and scouring doctor Q&As. It is now 6:30a and I am back up on this site doing the same thing all over again.

How many other realself-aholics are out there?
