I have desided to cancel my surgery . Unfortunately I was not able to gain all that weight due to my auto immune condition . My last 3 month consisted of eating pasta with insure shakes 4 , 5 times a day and no gym. I actually feel relief that it is over. My only option for now to get nice butt is to get implants . Wich sound scary . I will have to do more research on that. Looks like dr. Stanton is the one in USA. Or dr. Aslani in Spain I will consider .

Have you looked into Dr Salama, Salhauzer or Schulman ? I've seen them do a great job with girl 125 lbs range. Maybe even Dr Ghurani. Good luck

Sad to hear u canceled. But if u want to gain weight u should try some Russian bear 5000. It is a weight gainer. I've been using it for a week and have gained 3 lbs in 7 days I haven't even been taking the full dose required because it's ac a 21 day program. But I didn't want to gain so fast because my surgery is not until July. I read about this supplement ominous the Cabral group on Facebook I think. U can also read the reviews on it. They're extremely helpful! Best of wishes hun!

Don't give up on your bbl dream. Just have over the internet consultations with Salama, Wendell, Kenneth Hughs, Mel Ortega, and others if needed. What were you doing to gain? I'm assuming you were eating at least 500 calories more than your maintenance calories, weighing on a food scale and tracking with an app? Also, hoping you weren't working out and have been doing this for 6 months at least?

I ate mainly pasta , bread and potatoes . I had 4, 5 insure shakes a day and also weight gain powder designed for weight gain with whole milk and Nutella which is about 2000 cal. I had one in morning one at night.have not been in gym. I feel like giving up. But thank you for kind word. I be following your journey

Why did you lose the deposit? They can't let you consider a later date or refund you? If you paid via credit call your visa dispute line.

I have payed with money order . They told me I can prospond but to be honest I done everything I could to put the weight on . And I think extra time will not make any difference . I am devastated after all the time and money invested . But I thank you very much for suggestion/ ideas .

Im getting the implants w/ fat transfer. Just to let you know at GNC there is Mass [RS bleep] protein powder in vanilla that is great tasting. I was using it while working out with a trainer trying to build muscle and butt. It doesn't matter how many squats I do I will never have the butt I want without a drs help. I will have to say I am very nervous.....mostly about the drains ugh.

My name is Peter Fisher. I am a plastic surgeon in San Antonio. It is normal to worry and second guess yourself. Dr Mendieta is superb at what he does. Stick with him. I'm sure you'll get an excellent result. Good luck

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT OTHER DOCTORS HERE. AND REALLY LOVE THE WORK OF DR. ASLANI. HE IS IN SPAIN. I WOULD LOVE TO GO THERE FOR MY SURGERY BUT AFRAID OF 11 HOUR FLIGHT. I WONDER IF ANY GIRLS FROM US TRAVEL THERE FOR SURGERY.

Did you look at doctor Fisher at vanity? I haven't seen an women go to Europe for a Bbl. Good luck on your journey.

HE IS PRETTY GOOD. BUT VANITY IS BIG MESS AND DISORGANIZED.

Very true that's why I'm apprehensive about them myself but others seem to get through it just fine.

What you think of dr. Mendieta ? Or Salama?
December 14, 2014
They are both good. But the severe burn from Salama make me very concerned especially since you'd need aggressive lipo because you are so small. What about Ortega? Did you try muscle mass shakes, ensure and such. Maybe a nutritionist can get you on a weight gain program for 3 months or so. Might be worth looking into. Good luck.
