I Have Made Up my Mind.... - Lubbock, TX

I have decided to go ahead and do some fat transfer. Weighing in at 220lbs, 5'2" I had been big my entire life. After having kids and in my mid 30s, I decided to take control. I have lost many love ones due to overwight related illness plus my kids need me!!! I am now down to 160 (give or take 2-3lbs) and have kept it off for a few years. I am 40 and in very good health!!! So what better time than now?!

My pre-opt is scheduled for Sept 12th and my procedure will be on Sept 24th. Looking FWD to it :)

Will post "before" pics soon. Truth be told, I am so embarrased!!! BUT I WILL POST THEM REGARDLESS OF THAT BECAUSE IT WILL HELP SOMEONE ELSE MAKE UP THEIR MIND. If it wasn't for all you brave ppl that post your most intimate thoughts and pictures, I would still have so many unanswered question. I still have plenty but reading all these posts has helped a lot.

Soooo embarrassed to post these pictures.
I always avoid looking at myself in the mirror without clothes so I have to say that I was disgusted when I finally got around to looking at these pictures. Good GOSH, my belly and all my rolls look terrible, i cannot believe that I let my husband look at me!!!! Lights OFF from now on LOL. (hopefully only til I get my procedure) But I will post them only because I Bellevue that it may help others (i know it helped me) and so that one day I can look back and be glad that I decided to do this.
I do have to confess that I have been having mixed feelings now that I decided to go for it. What if something goes wrong? What if I Dnt get the results I want? All the money that its going to cost? What if this and what if that? I guess I FEEL GUILTY :((. Guilty of putting my husband and kids though this if something goes wrong and quilty of spending all this money on me.

So enough of the rambling....feel free to be honest of what you think and see and f you have any tips, suggestions and/or advice please feel free to share it.

I'm fairly new to this site but these past few days i have read so many different stories. Good and not so good. You all are so so so brave. I have never EVER been one to share personal things but all of u have inspred me to start a post of my own. I look fwd to sharing my experience with all of you.

I have been doing a lot of reading and asking questions. I posted some of my pictures and "asked a doctor". :((. I'm a bit discouraged because the majority of them suggested that I loose more weight for better results. Maybe my question wasn't asked clearly. I'm getting my BBL FIRST and my TT six months later. I feel that if I loose more weight I won't have enough "good" fat to transfer. And God knows I need as much as I can get. Lol.
Another thing that is really bugging me is that my dr doesn't have any before and after BBL pics on his website. I met him and he was super nice and seemed very confident. I liked him way more than the first one I consulted. I Dnt know, everyones body is different And has different results for what I have read so what if he just doesn't keep up with his webpage??? What if he's new at this? New at this - now that's Kinda scary but not all that negative, is it? when we r new at simething we tend to try and do r best. Hmmm, Maybe I'm just getting nervous???
