I have been on this site for years searching for the right location and surgeon and debating if I could even do this or not. Just a backstory - I am in my early 20s and since I was young I have never been happy with my body, weight, or shape. Over the years I have been ridiculed and made fun of and it has led to me becoming very insecure even as an adult. I am married with no kids but am still ashamed of the way that I look even though my husband is fine with it. I have been wanting to get a BBL since I heard of it because I am tired of the way I feel about myself. SO! With the sob story aside, I have finally found the courage to have the surgery and stop making excuses! I recently got a new job and it is very hard and very stressful. On top of that, I just recently bought a house and got married. I have been having a hard time figuring out how I will take 2 full weeks off from work since the job that I am at does not have sick days or paid time off soooooo I am praying that I can take off the 2 weeks without losing my job. I am debating when I should put in my request.... I have over a year to go so the sooner the better maybe? I hope so. Since I just got my foot in the door I will wait a few months to mention it... at least until after my probationary period is over! LOL. Anyway---- to the good stuff! I have chosen to have my surgery done by Dr. Salzhauer, aka - Dr. Miami - the plastic surgeon that makes people feel better about themselves that we watch snapchat his way through .... everyday! *Side note- love him!* I went to Miami and got a free consultation with him. He said that I would be a good candidate and that I already had a "good" butt, really nice skin, and a good waist (after he got rid of my back rolls of course! HAHA, I literally almost died when he said that! LOL. Exactly what I was thinking!) I am 5'2 165-170 lbs (seriously, thats a lot of weight since I'm so short!) so I asked how much weight I should lose and he said that he wanted all of the fat so not to lose more than 5-10 lbs if any at all.... of course, I feel like I want to lose ALOT more than that! SOOOOO we shall see! I trust him, but I don't want to be wide, short, and stubby. This is the biggest I have ever been and I'm just not comfortable staying at this weight especially for another year and some months soooooo Dr. Miami will just have to find some fat at a lower weight. I believe in him, I know he can do it. lol. So after a few months after my consultation I decided that even though I have bills and credit card debt (YIKES!) I can't keep putting this off if this is something that I really really want! I just got this new job so I went from making NOTHING (I was in school) to a nice chunk of change to where I've worked it all out so that I will have everything paid off (hopefully by the end of this year- credit card debt included. SO! I put my $1000 down and got my date after emailing Monica (the coordinator) back and forth about dates. So my date is 6/16/17, yay! It's a #FatBootyFriday.... how awesome is that?! I needed it to be on a Friday for the sake of my taking off for my job.
For my BBL, it is costing me $7745 for lipo of my abdomen, flanks, and full back. I added another $1000 for my arms (they are huge and he said it before I even could--- he keeps it real ladies! But in a kind way of course!) and I will be adding another $1000 for my "buffalo hump" that I forgot to ask him about but I saw on snapchat that he does those so I'm going to call and add that later on if I don't get rid of it before then.... that's another story for another day though---- sigh.
I am bringing my husband with me for the two weeks in Miami, we are flying there. I am still looking for a place to stay. I would prefer a hotel only because I like the fact that someone can come and clean your room and change your linens when you need them to, which would be one less stress on my husband. Then again, I would need to make sure that the hotel had a washer and dryer and a fridge/stove?.... maybe it would be best if I rent a condo? I need you ladies' help! Especially if you have had surgery with Dr. Miami! I want somewhere with a very short drive to the office, but overlooking the beach would be nice (for my husband's sanity) even though I will probably be in bed allllll of the time! He will be working with his computer during our stay and he would enjoy the view so I'd really like to rent somewhere with an oceanview front if possible. Any suggestions?
In addition, they told me I would need to at least stay 10 days... Anyone out there that has recently gotten their surgery done with Dr. Miami that didn't stay as long? I'm sure I can swing an extra $200/night if I absolutely have to, but there is no place like home especially when you are in pain! :(
Speaking of pain - -- I am the WORST. I have no tolerance for pain so I already know this is going to be a LONGGG journey for me. I'm also bad about taking medication - lose-lose situation, I know.
I will be updating pictures soon *YUCK* but I am having to work the next few days and I have to edit some tattoos out first. lol. I would love for anyone with any information they would like to share to please do so! If not, I will be stalking all my Miami dolls shortly haha. Good luck to everyone on their journeys!

Pregnancy?
BrainsANDaBootyFebruary 14, 2016
Ughh.... my husband wants a child... I do too, I won't lie, but I don't know when I should plan for one. Should I try to have one before my surgery next summer or wait until after and mess up my results? :( I don't know what to do. If I wait, my results will end up being undone. If I do so now, will I make the BMI cutoff??? I'm scared of gaining a ton of weight and not being able to lose enough to have surgery next year. I guess it's all in God's timing right? I've been off of BC for almost 6 months now and nothing --- because at that time, I figured I would have time to have a child, and lose the baby weight that I put on... but now if I do happen to get pregnant in the next few months, let's say April - I would have the baby in January and only have Feb-May to lose whatever weight to get back down. On top of that, I'm not in the best shape now (AT ALL) and I don't work out and I've heard that you should never start a new workout regimen while pregnant so what on earth could I do to stay healthy. So much on my mind lately. I'm not giving up though on this surgery. I deserve to feel happy about myself and my body.

I think it's best to just pray on it and don't stress too much. What's meant to be will be...my husband wants another child too, but he also has paid for and supporting me through my journey. I'm planning to get bbl and tummy tuck and I've decided to just go with the flow of things. Best wishes and Happy Valentine's Day
February 15, 2016
You are so right. Sometimes I just let my mind get ahead of itself. My husband is very supportive too thankfully but I am a natural worrier. lol. Happy Valentines day to you as well hun! & thanks for reassuring me! :)

if you already have had one baby and then have PS and have a baby again, your results won't shift too much. I have found my first child wrecked my body. Had a TT and a breast aug and the second pregnancy didn't change things much, it was more loosing baby weight. But my breasts didn't get stretch marks and weirdly enough my TT was not undone nor did I get more stretch marks which is completely weird. I have 2 friends whose Breasts weren't affected either and one of them had a TT too and it was unaffected. I guess genetics plays into it and if you breast feed. Just some insight, I hope you know I totally understand waiting for PS but sometimes things, just happen xo

I think it's best to have kids then invest in the body you dream of. Pregnancy changes your body so much
February 16, 2016
I agree, I'm hoping I get pregnant soon so that I have time to lose weight afterwards and proceed with the surgery

Ovulation tests momma!! They do wonders!! :) praying you get preggo this month sending baby dust your way!
February 25, 2016
Guess what?! Your prayers were definitely sent up! I found out Saturday that I'm pregnant!! :)) pretty good timing right? My due date is yet to be determined but I think it will be late October, giving me November through June to lose this weight!

You got a great pre body your booty is going to be so fat! What pic simulator did you use? And congrats on your journey !

February 15, 2016
You have a great canvas to start from!!! Dolls correct me if I'm wrong, I think you shouldn't lose too much because depending on the size booty you want you will need to make sure you have enough fat. I would confirm with the Dr or PC
February 15, 2016
You are right, Dr. Miami said no more than 5-10 lbs if any... but it's hard... I hate the way I look... I know hate is a strong word but its how I feel. I'm thinking I may try to just tone up a little now and then gain whatever weight I need to get back once it's closer to surgery time!
