Hi, I have been stalking on and off for over a year but got serious about doing a BBL a couple weeks ago. I am scheduled July 20th with Mcadoo. I was nervous at first because I heard all kinds of things. He answered my email with questions the same day. So it made me feel a bit better. I am more worried about dealing with the staff.

I have a little guy whom I will be using this trip to wean. I am currently still breastfeeding but he just turned 2 in June so it's time. I want my body back!

Side note : I am trying to lose some weight before surgery. I am not a doctor but I did study biology in college so I understand a bit about fat cells. They don't replicate as you gain. The same ones only get larger. The more fat cells they are able to inject the better. The more you weigh the bigger each cell is meaning they will reach their limit sooner. My doctor takes out up to 4000 ccs (8.8 lbs of water, fat weights a just bit less than water). Hoping for 1200 cc in each cheek and hip, I think, not exactly how big that will be. To me it seems it would better to gain after. Anyway, just my non professional opinion, listen to whatever your Dr recommends.

Thank you! That's very sweet. My body snapped back after my first two children but it's been difficult this time around to lose weight. I'll definitely post more pics as my story progresses.

LOL I think my pre-op chick ended up with the email and thats why she scared the f out of me July 4th. All my email asked was what should I be doing, like taking iron or vitamins and when I should quit. So many conflicting stories. When I finally got through to Tayri on the 5th, she said he mentioned I had a bunch of questions, like damn no response.

So last Friday I went to get my labs done, I was told to have them faxed. I told the lady at the lab to fax them and send me a copy in the mail. The lady at the lab said they'd be ready that same day. I told the assistant with Mcadoo I had them done and she is now saying for me to email them to her when I recieve them in the mail. I just purchased all my supplies off amazon and I am worried something will come up and I won't even need the supplies. I should have placed my order after I am cleared. Anyway, I guess I am a bit frustrated she isn't checking the fax so I can get cleared sooner. She's the one that told me to fax in the first place. My surgery is scheduled for 15 days away and feel all around anxious. My husband is tired of hearing about it. Thanks ladies for being here. I am usually someone that plans for the worst case scenario and normally I wouldn't have ordered until I had the green light but I got ahead of myself. I guess I wouldn't be so worried but I feel I may have a UTI. I have never had one before but its been really hot lately and I am not staying hydrated enough because of stress. It doesn't burn when I pee but I feel like after I pee my bladder isn't all the way empty.

Until next time,

I went to patient first for my labs hoping my insurance will cover them. They put the results on their portal (confidential website) all but the HIV, I had to call for the, its negative and they sent a letter stating that. I emailed my pre-op chick, her email says Doctors assistant- Tayri Solis my results and asked her to let me know ASAP if they are ok, I am sure I won't hear from her and have to call 50 times, lol I will give her 24 hours though.
This is something they seem to do 50xs a day. But we are one person and want to make sure our stuff is straight, we are spending $$ on supplies, flights, hotels, and this surgery.
See if you can pick up the results if you don't want to wait for mail and then take a picture and email them over? I don't know... but I am sure it will all work out for you.
Getting so close to the date I completely understand we want to know 100% not 99% that we are good to go =)

I am headed to go get them. I have just been so high strung lately. Idk what my deal is. Jessi emailed me right back less than 24 hrs after I emailed her, the invoice, I forgot she never sent it to me and emailed her yesterday asking if she would. I think it was a combination of worrying about my labs and waiting for her to respond that had me trippin. I couldn't sleep last night.

If you think you have an UTI, can't you drink lots of cranberry juice, seems like I heard that can clear it.

My bff just had hers done by McAdoo & he thought she may have a UTI and rescheduled her surgery. When the results came back she didn't have one smh

Seriously, see this is what I am worried about. I don't want to be rescheduled when I had my labs done in plenty of time to have it cleared up. Drinking cranberry juice. How are her results?

My labs are still not cleared, I am not paying for plane ticket, hotel, rental car until I am cleared. All the non stop flights are now booked, I especially wanted one for the way home. Trying to stay zen about everything. Got my amazon order with supplies. I am 5'5 170.2 (last I checked on the forth) my measurement are 38(bust) 30(waist) 41(hips). I lost an inch on my waist the last few days. I order a 2xl Diane and Geordi 2397 faja and it's way too big. Lol so I am shipping it back. I don't know if I should get just an xl because of swelling or what. I ordered on amazon so I wouldn't have any problems returning it.

My measurements before I had my last child were 36-24-36 but I had not ass. I had a breast augmentation after my second child about 5 and a half years ago. Wondering what my booBS will look like once I quit lactating. They look good if I am cool but my areOlas are so big now and they are pointing down. But no one sees me naked except my husband so I definitely don't care about them as much as a butt. I would like to nicely fill in clothes.

I had great results with dermapen (microneedling, professionally) to reduce the appearance of my stretch marks before my third baby. Now you can see them badly again, i gained more weight with my last than the 2 prior. Instead of paying $250 a treatment you can buy a Dr Pen off eBay with several new stamps or needle heads for way less. Dr pen is a knock off but the depth goes to 3mm which is very important. Alot of the knockoffs only go to 2mm and that's not deep enough. It pretty much needs to draw blood to stimulate new cell growth. I haven't bought one yet but I will soon and I'll update pics with my results to see if the knock offs are really worth it. This will be after my bbl on the 20th. So realistically I won't be using it till I am healed for a few weeks. It also tightened my skin. It kind of stings so it's best to use with a topical lidocaine or something similar.

I just started using Nivea skin firming and toning Q 10 + and it seems to be working great.

My husband is staying with me at a hotel after surgery, so I won't be staying in a RH. I am flying from the Northwest. It shall be fun. I had hardly any down time with my BA so I am hoping I won't be down too long. It seems really painful, I am trying to not let it psych me out.
