Anxious for my BBL 3/25/16. New York, NY

$9,600
I chose a surgeon who has an excellent reputation for fat transfers but I don't see that he's done that many BBLs. Now, I'm worried he may not be skilled enough to give me the results I want. Even worse, I'm almost paid in full. Don't know what to do. Want more projection, shelf, and hips & to snatch this waist!!!

Hi, I'm still deciding. Have a consultation with Delvecchio and also follow up w my original ps this week. Emailed my concerns to original ps and he called me right away to show before and after pics of BBLs that he has performed. He said, unfortunately, bc he is so sought after for breast reconstruction, people don't really know about his BBL work. Ok, but, I still grilled him on the machines he uses for fat grafting/cleaning/injecting and how much he typically loses (basically, what his typical survival rate is). I want to know that after I spend almost 12k cash, that I won't be disappointed. Here's the thing too that he just told me, I gained a lot of weight for the surgery but I'm typically very muscular due to years of working out so even though the scale shows weight gain, it's not all transferable fat:(. It's a lot of muscle. I go in to see original ps again on 26th and will update again. I'm nervous

I decided to go with dr Salzberg in Tarrytown, NY. He's been really helpful and is not at all bothered when I call or email question after question. The staff is also amazing and will also help however they can. Yes, I want great results but more importantly, I want to make sure I'm with a dr/staff that will always be there when I need them. Good luck!

Follow up with Salzberg - original ps
Today I met with my original ps to discuss my concerns and his plan on how we were going to achieve the look I want (going to attach wish pics). I found him to be really honest, upfront, and knowledgable. Most importantly, he mapped out my body and figured out how we could get the most fat transferred to hips and butt plus, my lipo for back and stomach.
I did also reach out to Delvecchio, who was my second choice. His patient coordinator was really nice and I was excited to see his before and after pics but I felt he was too busy. Obviously, he has had awesome results and is well sought after but I felt like I was just waiting around for almost two weeks for a call back and consultation. That was a little scary to me. What if after my surgery I need help and, I have to wait around all day for help. With Salzberg, I already know the kind of patient care I'm getting with both him and his patient coordinator. As someone who suffers from anxiety, this is really important to me. So, I'm going with Salzberg and I'm really excited.

What did you use to gain the extra weight?
March 21, 2016
I started off eating more and added ensure plus that has more fat and protein than regular ensure. Since ensure is pretty expensive, I saved money by buying the case at Costco. This worked a lot. Ensure and eating more helped me put on the 20 lbs but all of the milk, etc in the ensure started bothering my stomach so I switched over to muscle milk. They sell a case at GNC for like $40. I also eat a lot of ice cream. You'd be surprised how fattening regular ice cream they sell in the supermarket is. I started off at 115lbs when I went to first meet my surgeon and now I'm going in to surgery at 147 lbs. Took me 7 months to put on that weight but I've been between 154 and 148 last couple of months. Good luck. Hope this helps!

Omg that's great. I have to gain like 8 lbs by May ... I am doing the ensure plus but it is so expensive . And then my appetite is weird at times ..
March 21, 2016
I had the same problem. Honestly, if it's 8 lbs, I think you can do it with just the ice cream and eating a little more. I have the same problem with not having an appetite. I just really don't want to eat sometimes. The ice cream will help a lot and I hate eating cold stuff but anything to make my goal weight!

IUD Problems
Getting everything ready for surgery and all of a sudden I have excruciating pain in my abdomen. Go to my gyn and my IUD has been misplaced. I'm less than 4 weeks away from bbl and now I may have to have surgery to remove my IUD. Would hate to have to postpone my bbl again!!! Hoping this gets resolved soon and that I'm healthy enough to keep my 3/25 date!

Surgery tomorrow to remove IUD. Will update soon. But I'm going to follow you. Congrats on your surgery! May your azz stay fat forever!!! For real, the things we go through but I really do hope your results are permanent! Let me know what you're doing. I read that taking blood builder helps and of course not sitting down but also high calorie diet.

What kind of iud did you have that requires surgery to remove ??
March 23, 2016
Had the copper one. Called the Paragard, I believe but I've heard of the same happening with the mirena:(
Thank you for joining us. What doctor did you go with?
