June 5th, Brazilian Butt Lift Dr. Del Vecchio - Boston

I am a 20 year old 5'2 , 190 pound female. I am a college student, I'm from Long Island. I have decided to have this surgery as I finally received a great portion to cover the cost and I would finance the rest. This is my opportunity. I don't even really care about the size of the butt/size of my waist as much as I care about the fat on my upper back. I just want to wear a backless dress, or a halter top.

My main concern is the rolls...I cried when I saw these pictures because its always been this bad. I was 145 with rolls, I was even 125 with rolls. I want them gone. I hope Dr. Del Vecchio can make my dreams come true!

As for the 190, I don't remember the journey to being this heavy. I used to be 160 for a good 2 years, I guess my freshmen 15 turned into a freshmen 30.

I was recommended 1800 cc's in each butt cheek and I would take as much that fits into my behind. I have a lot of healthy fat lol

I paid more then half of it, so I still have time to make some more money so I can finance the least amount as possible.

I NEED SOME HELP. BELOW ARE A FEW QUESTIONS I WOULD LOVE VETERANS TO HELP ANSWER:

1. What are some vitamins I can take to make sure everything is pretty good? I currently take biotin but thats it, should I start with multivitamins?

2. Does anyone have a list of supplies? I would like to get them as early as possible...ALSO is anyone selling a used BBL Pillow? garments?

3. Can I go into a pool after 2 weeks? I am going on a retreat this summer around june 16th (mandatory for my school) and I will take precautions when sitting (make sure to use a pillow/boppy, etc.) but I wanted to know if I could swim yet..

4. Any good massage places in NY?

I am willing give out my contact info/social media, I am kinda alone in this.. my family accepts this but does not approve of my surgery..my mother doesn't understand what its like to never wear a bikini, or to feel anxious when someone hugs you for too long because they can feel your rolls.

I do have a wonderful person i met thru this website, she is like a big sister to me with advice and everything...she is having her surgery with the same doctor on the 30th and I would love more friends like her! I appreciate any and every advice.

How can I lose weight mainly in my face and especially in my arms? I cannot have surgery/lipo on either of those so I want to minimize the size while I can before the surgery.

I'm starting to drink just water, and I haven't really been exercising but should I focus more on arm workouts? Should I do the arm wraps?

I don't mind losing a few pounds overall but I really want slimmer/toned arms and a slimmer face. I have huge upper arms and a double chin :(

I appreciate all the comments, I don't feel alone anymore!

I do not have a scale at my college dorm, but my friends does so I will take a measurement of my arms, and right down my weight when I first weigh myself and also right before the surgery so I can take note of the difference.

I will do a lot of cardio to get into shape, as I am noticing my shortness of breath in doing SIMPLE task such as walking&talking along with a few flights of stairs. My goal to be in great shape before surgery so recovery will be a little bit easier (my leg muscles will be strong enough to get out of bed, and I can use my hands to lift things while laying on my stomach, etc.) ...so even if it means losing 10-20 pounds in the new few months so be it.

Water, vitamins, better food, exercise, arm workouts (no more flappy bird), and chin workouts to get rid of this double chin (via youtube) = healthy me.

I can do it! I want to be heart healthy and start prepping for this new lifestyle early. I will post more pictures as time progresses.
