Been on realself for over a year. Finally made the decision to go with Dr Fisher. Made my deposit this week and I'm looking forward to a new and better outer me.
Over decided on the BBL + legs + arms and debating on a little bit around the chin/face area which would be another $500.
My biggest dilemma right now is deciding on hotel/hire a nurse for massages or go with one of the recovery houses. Seems there is such a huge range of opinions.
I'm pretty particular about my surroundings being clean organized etc and so I've been leaning towards hotel but the recovery houses seem to be a little less expensive.
on the fence still...

Congrats on your decision to do a BBL with Fisher. Best decision you'll ever make ! He ROCKS! I just had SX with on 1/19/16. See my pics & profile ;) so excited for you !!

Great results!! Looks amazing!

I've heard other Doctor do what they think looks good. Does dr fisher listen to ur requests? I know I want at least 1200 in each and I really hope he agrees since I'm not a petite frame
February 20, 2016
He will give you whatever you want ! I wanted a natural look & that's what he gave me ;)

What's your high, weight, if you don't mind me asking. I am debating between just bbl in which case Dr Fisher is my choice or txt and bbl together which would be a doc in DR.
February 20, 2016
What's txt?
5-6 and my weight right is 180. He told me don't lose weight but I'm gonna get down 10-15 pounds b4 the surgery. I know my ideal weight is about 140 so believe me I'll still have plenty of fat for him to play with lol.
February 20, 2016
Sorry I meant not txt, I meant tummy tuck. I am 5.2 and 155 lb. but I had 2 c sections and I am big boobs and short waisted. My concern is if I do all that agressive lipo my stomach skin will hang. So I am doing as much research as I can. I would love to avoid tt but I am afraid it is unavoidable. But if it is unavoidable I want to do it all at once, I don't think I can go for round 2, 3 etc

I will try to upload some of my pic, maybe people have some suggo

I had a tummy tuck about 12 yrs ago. I wish I hadn't don't it. My scar looks amazing and u can barely see it compared to many many others I've seen. I had a doctor at the Univ of AL. I've talked one of my friends out of it for 1 simple reason. The large scar across ur stomach. Personally I would say no UNLESS u actually have saggy skin now. I didn't. I just had a pooch that wouldn't go away. I think it'll come down to ur personal preference. Maybe a scar isn't an issue really for you since you have a c section scar as is.
Recovery was hell. I had lipo also and I couldn't even sit on the toilet for a week. Had to have my boyfriend hold me while I just barely bent over. Had a drain also for about 2 wks... Changing it, keeping incision clean, etc.... I guess u have to decide what's gonna be worth it to u, ya know.

RECOVERY CENTER OR HOTEL???

cw9nine
Anyone have surgery coming up or completed that have an opinion?
Do the RHs allow you to being your own food/drinks? Do they have nurses come in or do they take care of you?

Every recovery house is different but I think they'll let you bring your own food. Try to find one that has a mini fridge in your room. I stayed at Magda's and she has the little fridge and I did bring some of my own food and drink. However, most of the recovery houses do cook yummy fresh meals as part of your package. If you have dietary restrictions you need to tell them ahead of time. Some of the recovery houses are run by nurses who live there, others have nurses come in and others do not have nurses at all. My friend who is an RN came with me for my surgery so I was luck in that regard. She brought her own oxygen monitor, stethoscope and blood pressure cuff etc. I don't think the recovery house was really necessary for me other than they provided meals so my friend didn't have to cook. However, there are healthy fresh meal delivery services in Miami with lots of deals on groupon. If I had it to do all over again, we would have just stayed in a hotel and had meal delivery. We both thought the recovery home had so much experience with recovery they could help my RN friend and show her how to take care of BBL patients post op, but they sort of took advantage of her being there to do as little as possible, lol! The food was amazing though! The owners daughter was a very talented cook.

If you are going alone, you for sure should stay in a recovery house or have a nurse staying 24/7 at a hotel with you for the first four days. The first four days are the hardest. If you have a companion coming, I think it's nicer to stay in a hotel and have a nurse come periodically to assist you and make sure you are recovering well.

Thanks so much! No dietery restrictions just want healthy so ur comments make me feel better. I'll look into Magda's!
February 14, 2016
If you are going alone, I think a recovery house is your best option. I've heard good stuff about Moni at New Body, Mayda, Magda I stayed with and there are several others. The only one I absolutely would avoid is A&R if they're even still open. Just contact all the different ones and see which feels like it fits you best. As far as in hotel care, a lot of people hire and seem to love Amy.

Check out Miami escape. Brand new recovery house. Offer awesome packages, look fancy, have promo going on. I am planning to go with Fisher at end of April. Also looking into rh. This one so far the winner

I am scheduled for Dr Fisher on 4/19 as well. I am staying at Miami-escape. Check out their website. I booked my stay with Dani. I will be coming alone from DC so I need someone there 24/7.

I've still been looking. I'll check out the site. I'm coming alone as well.
Did you put down a deposit?

K real question for anyone who has had a BBL or knows of anyone's experience.
What's the time frame of refraining from sex after the BBL?
