Hello everyone,

I am new to this Real Self site and I am very thankful for it. I have been wanting my a** done for years even before the big booty trend came. I used to have a nice a** in hs, but lets be real, didn't most of us have a nice a** and body in hs? Well after my son was born 10 yrs ago and I've gotten older, my a** is so saggy and has no definition to it. I have a big as** but it is a wide one. It doesn't stick out or nothing and its so gross. I have taken certain measures of improving my overall appearance such as getting braces for my teeth, starting Accutane to clear my skin and now wanting lipo and a big ol a**! The pics I have posted now are what my body looks like almost now. I am 5'9" and in these pics started off at 272lbs. I am now at about 252lbs. I know that I have a lot more weight to lose and money to save. I have a friend who got a bbl by Dr. Salama and she loved him. His prices are so high though :(. When she got her a** done about 3 yrs ago, it was only about $5000 she said. She said his prices go up monthly, which is discouraging . I've read many reviews and patients seem to love him. I started on here looking at reviews here and there in Feb and I have been on here more than ever now. I found another dr named Dr. Fisher and at first I read lots and lots of good reviews on him. The other dr named Dr. Hasan also works in the same clinic as Dr. Fisher does at Vanity Cosmetics. Well after reading all the amazing reviews for Dr. Fisher and Hasan I decided I was going to pick Dr. Fisher. They both have great work, but Dr. Fisher's work looks better. Well today I log on and start reading reviews on Vanity and Dr. Fisher and two patients who recently (2-7 days ago) just had surgery and they said they almost dies. The first woman complained of bleeding more than she thought she should have very bad headaches and being very weak. She had to go to the hospital a couple days after post op to find out that her HGB was at 4.3 and at pre op she was 12. The clinic told her she was fine and that everything was normal and that she just needed to drink plenty or fluids. At the hospital she received 4 blood transfusions and IV fluids. The second woman same thing, but she flew back home to CA and went straight to the hospital to be told the same thing about her HGB and that she had a hematoma in her abdomen. I was so set on putting my down payment with Dr. Fisher next month, to now feeling a little discouraged. I know that everyone has their own opinion and feelings on particular drs. As I said before I read lots of great reviews for Dr. Fisher and most of those reviews didn't have any or very few complications. I feel so lost right now. I would like to have my procedure with Dr. Fisher just cause of his amazing work and the price is great, but my life is important as well for me and my son. Any suggestions on Dr. Fisher vs Dr. Salama.

BTW I decided to not choose Dr. Hasan after reading that he is NOT certified in the US to do plastic surgery. He is a dermatologist and someone die under his care and was charge with some type of negligence. I can't quiet remember, but that was enough for me to now go with him.

Welcome doll! I lost over 55 lbs for my sx so you can do it because im a food [RS bleep] lol. My I suggest dont go on a crazy fad diet and make sure you do plenty of cardio and lite weights and if you can yoga. It helps keep everything tight and helps fight cellulite! Dont get me wrong Im still asexy bbw (216 lbs) but I avoided looking like a melted candle. Good luck dont give up I have so tips on my review if you would like to take a peek!

Thank you for the encouragement. I called today and talked to Natasha at Vanity and she has been very helpful in answering questions. I know I have a year long journey in my weight loss and need to work on tightening my skin so that its not so lose. I would like to add lipo to my arms just cause they are so big, but I don't know if $800 is worth it. I have to call and see that prices are now for the extra.

Do you know if they do Revision procedures? I was thinking that I would go back in a year after I healed to get some more lipo done. I need to ask more questions lol

At vanity it is $500 an extra area for lipo.

Thank you blondekelly1013 I want to get my arms and inner thighs done but I don't want that to take away from the fat they need to get from the other areas. Maybe if the price is right a year after the procedure I can go back for just lipo

That is very true.. I feel that I don't want to be under general anesthesia more than I have to so getting it all done at once seems preferable to me. Although I have so much fat I need out... I am possibly going to have my lips injected with a little fat also.

Thank you JuicyStrawberry! It's very exciting and scary at the same time. I was just talking to my girl who had hers done by Dr. Salama and she was telling me everything to expect and things I will need. We both live in Seattle so it's nice to have someone who went all the way down there and had to come back home.

Welcome on the start of your journey. I was scheduled with Fisher last year but had to cancel so now I'm back at it and more confused then ever. I think surgery is all a risk in itself. This site will have you on an emotional roller coaster so be prepared lol I think Fisher is amazing at what he does and it just all depends on each of us individually. Ive seen a few complaints on certain doctors but the girls weren't following the suggested care, not wearing their fajas, drinking fluids, and sitting. I think if you choose Fisher, you will be just fine, I most likely will choose him again, just waiting on a quote. I will be following your journey beautiful

Yes definitely!!! I know the feeling, I don't personally know anyone who's had it done, must be great to know what to expect. That's what I love about realself, all of us can help each other!!❤

Hello ladies,

I am finding myself dreaming of this procedure and how I would look. It's so crazy that in my dreams I can see my body. I am so addicted to the site and keep off of it. I read so many journeys and I find it very helpful to me. I am hoping all goes well for me to put my down payment next month (fingers crossed) Once I have that locked in, then I will be calling Mary for the RH which is called Elite Recovery. She is a RN and that to me is very important because she will know what to do in an emergency vs having a MA look after me. I don't feel confident of a MA to care for me under the state that I will be in. I'm sure there are great MA's out there, but I am just not one to take that chance. Mary offers a pretty good deal and also offers buddy deals. Talking to her she made me feel so comfortable and I can't wait to meet her!!! I've been reading a lot on this site about people take a friend or significant other and some go alone. Well I will be one of those that goes alone. Even though I'm not looking to get my procedure done until next year, I am still nervous about it. There are a lot of thoughts that run through my mind, and of course some of the post I have read of girls dying doesn't make it assuring. The stories I've read of course occurred in the DR and I know anything can happen whether you are in the states or out of country, but it's very unsettling to me to go to another country for a procedure. I have had nights that I dream of the worse and then again I dream of my after body! I think just the thought of it makes a mind wonder. The mind is a powerful thing........ Well this is my lil rant for the day. Will keep you dolls posted on making my down payment to become a FISHERDOLL!!!!!!!

Awwww thank you. I was going to put my down payment down this month in hopes they would honor the special, but they wouldn't so I am going to just pay my down in Jan and take care of things that are more important at this time. I mean my butt is very important, but there are things that take priority. Good to hear you may choose Vanity. I have read negative and positive about them, but guess what???? That is anywhere you go. Certain places don't fit certain people.

this is true. but customer service is really important. Mostly the negative I hear regards to their customer service. And other stories about ladies having lower HGB levels after the surgery and needing medical attention.
