Hello ladies,
I am new to RealSelf so I'm not sure if I am even posting this in the right section, anywho, It is hard for me to gain weight so I fill like a few months after I have my son will be the best time to get the surgery. I have been obsessed with bbl since I discovered this site.

Realistically I am not financially ready, but I feel I can make it work with the right payment plan. I am considering Dr. Salama, I have read some pretty good reviews for him and I like the before and after pics. My main concern is keeping the fat. I am skinny by nature and I am afraid that the fat won't hold. I am 5'2 and 125 lbs, I want a bu-dunk-a-dunk so I'm not sure how much weight I should gain. Does anyone out there have a similar situation or suggestions?

Thanks for sharing your journey with us. I'm sure you'll get lots of support from the other BBL ladies, and you have a good amount of time to get ready for it, while you're preparing for the little one to come along! :-)

Hey gurl, congrats on starting your journey. I would think the first thing to do is call the office and ask them how long you have to wait after you have the baby before you can have the procedure. Gaining weight will not be much of a problem, what you could use, a month before surgery, is a weight gainer protein from gnc. Twice a day for a month and that will be the healthy fat. Which will be better to taken out. Just follow some journeys of the other girls to get ideas. You also have to think about your metabolism... that plays a part with weight gain.

Thank you for your responses. My metabolism is VERY FAST, I tried gaining weight after my last pregnancy and the scale did not budge. I also tried some gainer from Vitashop but it made me nauseous lol I guess I should try another brand. My boyfriend thinks it would be best if I just go to the gym and do a million squats, I feel like that would give me some nice definition, but not the dramatic results I'm looking for.

So after doing some more research I discovered I have to wait 6 whole months after I have the baby for the surgery! It makes sense to ensure that everything heals properly but it seems so far away! I guess it will give me more time to save up and prepare my body for the surgery. I want to gain some weight and also build some muscle in my thighs... I don't want to walk around with chicken legs and a jumbo booty...

Congrats on ur journey I gave birth to my 3rd and last child on the 2nd of July via c-section so I can relate with u on how frustrating it can be having to waite 6 months for the BBL but I believe it will pass soon. I wish it was fairly hard for me to gain weight lol but I believe even if I look at food too long I will gain weight lol. Again congrats on your upcoming bundle of joy, they always tend to light up our lives. Keep us posted :-)

Thank you! I started drinking boost to add some extra calories to my daily diet. I am just extremely anxious about this surgery, and it is starting to bother me because I know I should be focusing more on the birth of my child...I am not sure what is wrong with me. I'm trying not to mention it as much to the hubby because I don't want him to get tired of hearing about it and I am no where near surgery. I am also worried that the price will continue to increase. But I do think it's smart to wait six months bc I will be done breast feeding and comfortable with the baby staying at grandmas during the first couple days back from surgery.

So I FINALLY BOOKED MY DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!! May 24, 2013!!!! I CANNOT WAIT!!!! Nancy was very helpful and talked to me for a while so I feel very comfortable. This date will work perfect for me because my Hubby will have that Monday off bc of the holiday so he will only need to take off Friday to take me to surgery. It is a huge relief. I started work and I wear padded panties, so that it won't be such a drastic difference. Plus my stomach is so big that the pads helps me proportion everything. One of my coworkers has a ba-dunka-dunk and sits on a pillow so she may be on this site too :) I think it would be awkward to ask her even though her ass seems to be a popular subject around the office. I am going to get a pillow next week, my tailbone has been killing me bc of the pregnancy. Now I just need to budget my money wisely so that I can afford the surgery. I haven't told my hubby about putting down the deposit yet... maybe next month.....

I struggled choosing between Dr. J and Dr. S and I must cost and convenience definitely was a deciding factor. Dr. J cost more, I would have to pay for plane tickets for both myself and my honey, as well as a hotel. Plus I would be leaving the state without my six month old child.... so Dr. S is right in my back yard and he has great results as well.
