WORTH IT$13,000
I have scheduled my appointment for my BBL with Dr. Shulman in NYC for May 21st. I have been looking into it for quite some time and finally decided to do it! I will document as much as I can about my experience so that future BBL patients can be as educated as possible. I am 5'7" about 155 now, but usually my weight is closer to 145. I'm 25, 26 this year and have always been self conscious about my butt. I will post more pics as time moves forward.

I just paid the balance due! I guess it's really happening! So excited, but having second thoughts about how big I want to go. I don't want to go too big or too small... Filling scripts today so everything is ready!

I am also scheduled with Dr. Schulman for BBL this month. My wish pics are very similar to yours. I must say, I am also getting nervous about the size... I want it juuuust right... definitely not too big. Please keep us posted in the process! Good luck!

May 30th. I also asked the Doc about arm lipo with a response that this may not be necessary in my case. He mentioned the possibility of skin sagging afterwards, which made me hesitate. However, I am still considering it. I am happy to be swamped with work as it prevents me from obsessing overly with the upcoming operation;-)

Haha very true. I will let you know if I decide to do the arm lipo, but I really won't know how it looks until after you are done with your operation so I won't be much help :)

Sorry I haven't really said too much, but to be...
Sorry I haven't really said too much, but to be honest, I haven't really done much to prepare. I have a demanding job with deadlines at the end of June and my BBL is scheduled right in the middle of it, so I have been overwhelmed with work. So far, I picked up my anti-biotics and pain meds, picked up a few other things (pads, colace (stool softener), cough drops, ice packs, anti-itch cream, and vitamins)...what else do I need? I feel like the list my doctor gave me was really short so I am scared I'll need more and don't realize it. I still need to get arnica tabs, but after that I don't know what else I am missing!!! Please help!! My weight is fluctuating a lot in the last two weeks and I hope it doesn't go up too much before I go in. I have another question about the lipo- As of now, I am about 155-160 about 5'7". I am getting lipo to my flanks, upper and lower back, inner thighs, and adding abdominal lipo. Now, I am curious if I should ask this week about adding arm lipo? I am just scared after gaining and losing weight so easily that my arms will stay kinda chunky while the rest of my body is transformed. Has anybody else had issues with their arms after surgery? I am starting to get more and more nervous!! Please feel free to give any advice you feel may help! I just feel under prepared and getting more and more nervous-especially since I literally am working 12 hour days until the day before, so I won't have much time to take care of things :/

I know the anxiety, but believe me you are gonna love your results. I feel like Dr Schulman really listens to what you want so you don't feel like you are getting a prototype. As for supplies, I felt the same way but I realized that everyone is different. Some people have a lot of drainage for their incision cites. I didn't have any. But just in case, you should get chucks (like wee wee pads) for your bed. I am breastfeeding, so I did not take the arnica pills and Dr Schulman agreed that there is no real proof that it works. Definitely try to have whatever you want to sleep in and your bed nice and comfy so that when you get home, you don't waste any time and you can get right to rest. If the nurses say its ok, take your pain meds as soon as you get home even without pain. I realized that its better to stay ahead of the pain. I took them every 6 hours around the clock for the first two days. I am now only taking Tylenol as needed. Hope all this help.

It does! Thanks so much. I'm just getting more and more nervous the closer it gets. Did you need help showering?
May 14, 2013
Not physically... I was ok in the shower. I just made sure I was not home alone when I did it.
