Summer is coming to an end and another semester of school is finished! I just met my new pcp today and everything is looking good, except my bmi is a little high. I informed him that I'm getting cosmetic surgery and showed him the labs and ekg I'll need with the clearance. I'll get all that the beginning of November.
I figure since things looked good i should book the hotel. If you book the courtyard Marriott you have to call, so they can apply the Mt. Sinai rate. 8 nights will be $2,373 for my stay; she said that's a busy time there the beginning of the week, so it's a bit high.
I think I'll hold off on ordering supplies until after i get cleared. I guess until November i just need to get train tickets, a loan, and tell my boss I'll be getting surgery and will be off 6 weeks. Lol i can already see he's gonna be worried. I'm just gonna tell him it's a woman thing, so he don't ask too much (a bbl is definitely a woman thing, so it's not a lie....right). In the meantime I'll be watching Dr. Schulman's snaps and keeping up with how you ladies are doing!

Working out dilemma
Any one out there that had a bbl, that can you help me? I've been confused when it comes to exercising. I am supposed to maintain my weight, so i stopped working out. The problem is I've already lost the little bit of tone that i did have (see pics from may). I was thinking of only doing weight training, but i'm wondering how that would affect my sx? Any thoughts on this ladies?

Hey doll. I've been working out and it hadn't affected my bbl. I actually lost some weight. I was 170 pre op now down to 162 and i think it makes my booty look bigger. Muscle weighs more than fat so if your just toning you'll b fine. My dr told me if u lose a significant amount of weight like 20lbs or more that's when it can affect your bbl. Hope that helps. U look fantastic

Thanks luckylady. I have seen how some ppl talk about tight or loose skin and was thinking if I'm too toned going into surgery that i might not be able to get as much fat transferred. If i don't workout though i start to feel like [RS bleep]. Maybe a moderate amount of weights won't will be okay b4 surgery?

Funny you said that tho. Cuz my dr said my skin was too tight also. He codnt injecy as much fat as planned but in my situation it wasn't from working out that was just genetically my butt. I still ended up with good results after a,revision. Just try not to loose too much weight. What are ur measurements and weight now?? Hope that helps.

B
July 25, 2016
Oh ok. My weight is up a little at 173lbs (haven't worked out routinely in a month). The last i checked on my measurements i was 35" around belly (near navel) and 42" hips.

That's about what i was before my bbl either way i think your going to have great results after u get your bbl even if u lose 10 or so pounds it shouldn't affect your results. Keep me posted doll. Good luck

July 26, 2016

Good luck on your journey to beauty. Try to eat well exercise and stay focus on your goal. You don't have to overeat to maintain your shape good luck

Thanks Felisha! It looks like you was already in good shape before your surgery. So I'm assuming you continued to workout up until surgery?

Booked, Just waiting now
So I have to say this experience seems to be much less stressful, than when I was going to do it a couple of years ago in Atlanta. I had my phone consult and right away I really like Dr. Schulman. He is funny, personable, and honest. I did not feel rushed and he answered all my questions. He says I'll get a nice bubble with athletic and natural results, since I don't have much fat. I really love the fact that he doesn't want me to gain weight, unlike the other doctors!!! Needless to say I booked my sx that day and I'm set for December.
I have some time till I have to start booking stuff, but I'm already preplanning travel & the hotel. I'm thinking of taking Amtrak, so that when I go home I can ride in a sleeping car. For the hotel I think I just go to the Marriott since it's close and I'll get the discount.
Not much to do for now except wait till October for my clearance. Oh, and let my job know, but I'm gonna hold off till September for that. Luckily, I have plenty of sick time, so that's not a problem there.
I guess I'll just enjoy this summer and see what happens in the fall.

Hey girl glad you found one in NY, awhile back you asked me about a good dr in Pittsburgh im already 5 months post op and almost 3week post op of a revision. Check out my profile lmk if u have any questions

Hey luckylady! Thanks!!! Your revision turned out good! Yeah, I decided to go to nyc. It would be nice not to travel for sx, but I really like Dr. Schulman's work and his personality. I'm not confident in our surgeons here for bbl's and only want to do this once. I know not sitting or laying on my back for 8 weeks is gonna be hell, so I can't imagine an additional 8 weeks of it.

Yea it totally sucked, if the revision wasn't free i don't kno i cod have done it again. Im going to vegas in sept just hope by then all the soreness is gone. Keep me posted on your bbl. Good luck hun

Have you been sore since your 1st sx? I hope you're not sore in September either! That's way too long to be in pain.

No not since the 1st surgery. My butt is sore from the revision and lower back gets stiff where he took more lipo. Im still not sitting or sleeping on my back

I had lipo before and the stiffness was the worst part :( getting out of bed was hard. Not looking forward to that part.
