BBL Set for July 2019

So I’ve been on Amazon searching supplies and adding them to my SX list while I continue shopping around for the best prices. I’ve been shopping for a few more maxi dresses that I can wear and change out during recovery. I refused to pay $30 & $40 each for them! I came across a site called Dress Head. The prices are cheap but shipping isn’t. Has anybody ordered from them?

Also shopping for stuff like hibiclens, gauze female urinals, etc... Waiting for CVS to drop that 40% off coupon for the hibiclens though. I thought I read before that maxi pads could be a good replacement for abs pads to absorb the drainage. And I swear I read somebody say that a good old Dixie cup was better than the female urinal. But I’m trying to figure out if it’s not easy for you to bend over a bit, how can you make sure to have a good hold on the cup. Maybe I’m over thinking that but wonder if anybody has any experience with either or?

I came across something called the booty bean bag that lets you lie on your back without touching your butt. Has anyone tried it? Does anybody have any surgery hacks we should know about?

Ok y’all, 3 years later and I’m back and finally doing it for real this time. Life has taken place over the last few years but I said 2019 is my year and I’m going to have a great year damnit! I noticed that mostly everything I previously wrote down as I goal I achieved so I made it a point to put this #1 on my list for this year. So anyway, I’ve always had a pooch on my tummy, no matter me weight and I want a completely flat stomach. I’ve decided to do something about it and figured I may as well fill out the dents on the sides of my booty while I’m at it.

I went through the process of evaluating surgeons again. Salama and Blinski were at the top of my list, I also started hearing a lot about a Dr Chang as well. I contacted EPS and got the info from Nancy on Salama. She was still sweet, informative and very helpful. Contacted Blinski’s clinic and whoever that heffa was, Melissa I think seemed like she didn’t want to be bothered but finally gave me available dates, the email address and instructions to get a virtual consultation. I got emailed back by Blinski I guess and over these few years that old man has gotten mean and grumpy and probably should just retire. He told me to loose 10-15 lbs & that I was very unrealistic about my body type. Long story short- I see why he now has so many dates available whereas as few years ago he was booked months out. I went to the Spectrum site and completed the online form for a virtual consultation. It took about two days for a response and Lisa contacted me via phone and email. She provided a lot of information. She seemed a bit rushed at times. She gave me info on Chang, Ortega & a new surgeon. I soon learned a trend between Lisa & Nancy, they’ll get back to you mid- late afternoons probably because the mornings are busy with patients.

I started doing more research on Chang & Ortega & soon removed Chang and started focusing more on Ortega. I was torn between Ortega & Salama because both of these surgeons are very skilled, knowledgeable, safety conscious & have hospital privileges; although Salama’s specialty is BBLs & Ortega’s is tummy tucks. I ultimately went with Ortega because I actually already have a big butt (I just want a minor adjustment to it), I want more of a focus on snatching my abs. With Ortega’s TT expertise, I believe he can handle what’s most important to me.

So I paid my deposit and I’m booked for July 13 with Ortega. Bae is coming with to take care of me after. We have flights & hotel booked already. I know they say don’t book til you’re cleared but 1) o already had blood done about a month ago and I was good, 2) I had an EKG AND a frickin’ stress test not long ago and both were good. I don’t smoke at all. As long as I take the vitamins they said I should be good and stop drinking 30 days prior. Out of all the reviews I’ve read no one has mentioned that they tell you to stop taking your oral birth control a month before too.

Sorry this post was so long y’all! I’ll try to be brief in the future.

After finding out that Fisher & Dr. Blinski are booked into 2017, I kept doing research & decided on Dr. Salama. I have to say that Dr. Blinski is great. He personally called me & talked to me for a while. He gave me some things to consider when assessing a surgeon and that helped lead me to Salama. Ladies, get you a drink & a snack because I'm about to run down the search experience for you starting w/ Vanity. When I first contacted them, Amy called me & gave me some pricing & additional info. A couple days later I started getting text messages and calls from a Lianetxis Sexto. She contacted me first to tell me that Fisher was running a special. I thanked her and told her that I wasn't ready to book yet as I was hesitant about his schedule. This heffa had the nerve to ask me if I was sure I didn't want to book to take advantage of the special. Then she contacted me a couple more times to see once again if I wanted to book under the special. At this point I'm like, do you work at a clinic or a used car lot? Damn bish let me breathe! I know how to pick up the phone or email.

Then onto Blinski. I emailed with Melissa a couple of times, and dr B himself called me a couple of times. It was clear that there is no way I could get in with him this fall, but as I said before he was kind of enough to give me some things to look for. So then onto Salama. I sent an inquiry via real self, and got a phone call from Nancy the next day. Nancy is great so far! Very patient. Answered all my questions and actually emailed me a quote. An official quote on an official form w/ letterhead & logo and everything. Patty has responded to a couple of emails & she has been very gracious as well. So at this point, I just need to get a couple more coins so I can book my date. I'm hoping to get this done in November. I'm getting nervous because when I first talked to her she had some late October & a few November dates available, but I see people booking November almost everyday. And then I keep seeing the pics and reviews from those that have already had it done & I'm envious. I'm so excited & ready to finally do this for myself after stalking this site for over a year now. My fiance' said he'll come with me & take care of me after. We're going to get a suite w/ a kitchenette. I was already looking at Residence Inn by Marriott when I saw another doll post that they offer Elite patients a discount. I'll definitely be looking into this & I'll confirm for all you dolls.

Now I'm nervous about getting the blood test & EKG & mess. I have insurance but from what I've read on here I don't know if I'll have to fight w/ dr office & insurance company to get it done. I think I may see if Concentra or someplace like that will provide pricing. I've posted a wish pic of my desired results. I'll post more as I find them & current pics of me (yikes!) when I get up the nerve.

Anyway, this site has been very helpful as far as goes dr reviews, recovery house reviews, supplies, what to expect before & after, etc...
