5 months Post Op

WORTH IT$4,850
I have been MIA, sorry about that. I love my body! My ass still looks the same as it did 2 months post op but just perjured because I lift weights and work my butt A LOT. I still have thenderness if my husband smacks my butt or if I lay on the hard floor on my hips. But none other than that. The leaner I get, the better I like my results, especially in my stomach. He left a little fat ball to the left of my belly button that does not look good but the more fat I lose, the smaller it gets. My can see it in the light but otherwise u can't.

Amazing. I'm putting. My down payment on Friday for my bbl so excited Dr Ortega here I come.
P.how much did you pay for the recover Room
It was $250 for the night of surgery and $80/night every night after that. Pay her in cash when u get there.
When I spoke to her she said that it is now $100/nt. How long ago did you stay with her?
I stayed with her 2.5 months ago. I'm glad she raised her prices, she needed to for the time and effort she puts in to each girl. The TLC her and her daughter give is priceless. U will not find a better deal. Trust me, u will feel loved and u will be glad u stayed there.
That sounds great. I am going alone b/c suddenly all of my close friends are vehemently against me getting the procedure. Another story, lol. However, her prices aren't bad. I will be doing my procedure with CG Cosmetics in January. Do you have any suggestions on what I should take with me besides what is on the realself how to prepare for a BBL blog? Just curious since you stayed with her. Thanks in advance and you look great.
Thanku
Ur body is popping! So happy for u! Love the confidence!
I must say Dr. Ortega did an amazing job. Makes me even more confident for choosing him. Oh and that maxi dress is to die for on you.
Thank you!! Dr Ortega is a very smart, safe choice. Tell him u want a big butt and u cannot lie! He will do his thang on u, do not fear!
LMAOOOO thats exactly what im going to ask him for. So when i do loose volume i dont get booty greed.
You look GORGEOUS! :)

People staring

People stare, a lot! When when they are talking to me in the face, their eyes are drifting down to my flat stomach and curvy hips. Men will stand there and wait until I pass so they can look at my butt. Sometimes it's uncomfortable, but it's all good. I'd stare too! Friends also can't stop slapping my ass either!! Ughhh that does not feel good!!!!! My husband sees people staring more than I notice it, but he doesn't mine. He is proud of his trophy wife! :D

Good for u! Happy for u!
Ur body looks phenomenal! Just had a TT and going for BBL next, how long do u have to take off work??
I am a stay at home mom but I would say take off 2 weeks if u can. U are going to be VERY tender and not have much strength.
Ok that sounds about right and are ur post opp instructions to sleep on your belly or can you sit on your butt??? Also did u have drains?? , Thank u :-)
I did not have drains, he stitched me up. I got my stitches out at 10 days, at home. Instructions were to sleep on mg stomach for the first 4 weeks, then I was able to sleep on my sides and sit on the Boppy. After 3 months I think he said I can sleep on my back and sit without the Boppy.
Well thanks for answering my questions, u look fabulous I hope when I get it done my results are as good as yours!!!
Did you have to get your BMI to a certain number? I have to and I'm scared I won't lose it in time. I'm at 33.5 I need to be 32
No, they didn't say anything about that. When is your sx? I am a personal trainer, here are some quivk and effective tips to get your BMI done fast. It will take some hard work and dedication, but I will be WORTH IT!! Keep your eye on the prize. This surgery is a life-changer. A little bit of hard work now will pay great dividends when they tell u that u are cleared for surgery!! -eat 5 small meals a day that consist of 1/3 cup (3 oz) meat and 1/3 cup healthy carb and green veggies. -no carbs after 3pm. Replace those carbs with healthy fats (1 TBS natural peanut butter or 15 almonds, or 1/2 avocado) -drink 1 gallon of water a day (VERY IMPORTANT) - do 1 hour low intensity cardio, 6x per week - lift weights 3-4x per week if u know how. If u are consistent with this, u WILL drop body fat. It will take about 3weeks of consistency to start seeing your results. Have faith that it's working. KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE PRIZE. Those sweets or chips or fast food ISNT WORTH IT! U can have that after u reach your goal. Good luck baby doll!! U can do this!!!
