Current weight 235 as of last week. I'm weighing in tmrw to see if iv progressed in losing 20 lbs. So far a few of my relatives had this surgery done and I think they looked great! Both went to different doctors which did great jobs but my relatives weren't as happy with the size of there butt because they didn't have enough fat to transfer. They both were close to there goal weight where as I'm not, I would like to be 170 and maintain that. So it makes me feel better that I have more than enough fat to transfer that I have to lose weight. I still have concerns on how much over my goal weight I should be for surgery to get best results. Any suggestions?

No specific weight they just need my BMI to be 33% or less for a safe surgery. But I haven't checked my BMI they just went by weight:235 and height:5'8".

Today I got a colonic for the first time and OMG! I go back in two weeks but I must say I'm very backed up. The iron supplements are making my stool hard so when I tell you I only last 30 mins for my hour session because I felt nauseous and like I was gonna faint.. I pulled that thing out so fast. The doctor prescribed me to take magnesium every night and in my next session I should lose atleast 5lbs! This is gonna be great for the help of my 20lbs drop for surgery which iv already lost my 8 lbs in the last 10 days... oh how I'm so excited for the future me!! # healthy & #curvy :)

Hi Jill! Today would be my surgery date but I moved it to December 15th due to work (I'm here now lol) but now I'm having second thoughts today not sure if it's because the date is so close or what..!?! I will be posting updated pics of what I look like now soon. I haven't weighted myself in awhile. I'm hoping I'm close to where I need to be!

Gotcha thanks for letting me know!  I updated your surgery date to 12/15 but let me know if you change it.  I think it is normal to have second thoughts, but if you feel like it is more serious than just the pre-op jitters it is always a good idea to take a minute and see if maybe you should reconsider what you want to do.  Let us know what you decide.
