BBL Journey

I'm in my mid-thirties and have 3 children. I met with Dr Gartner once a year ago for a BBL consult. It was my first time meeting with a plastic surgeon regarding this procedure. I didn't have many questions because I was still in the process of researching. So now a year later I meet with him again with a ton of questions. He is very pleasant, patient, informative, and professional. The consult isn't rushed and I have decided to proceed with the BBL with Dr Gartner. I am going to hold off on the surgery until next year but I will keep you all informed on my progress. I want to take 3 weeks off because I have a job that consists of a good portion of the day sitting on my rear.

So I officially bit the bullet and scheduled my BBL with Gartner. My surgery date is next week... I'm so excited but still a little nervous. I'm not really afraid of the surgery itself more of the recovery. So I bought a few things to help during my recovery period (I will share in the photos). So basically at this point I am just making my list, stocking up, and keeping a clean house. Stay away from anti-inflammatory meds (advil, motrin, ibuprofen), aspirin, vitamin e, and flax seed as they thin the blood. I'm staying well hydrated to help my skin have enough moisture to assist with healing and I started a stool softener so I won't have issues after surgery. Anesthesia tends to slow things down. Also, I took all my measurements and weight and I will keep a log after the surgery. Good Luck to all and I will keep you updated!

Ewww... This is horrifying to see your body in photos. So my current measurements are 37-33.5-38 and current weight is 143 lbs. BTW with clothes on I look great and everyone thinks I weigh much less than I do (looks can be deceiving) LOL.
