Ok, I'm happy with my results now! :)

I have wanted a BBL for about 5 years now. The stars have never aligned for me until now. I found a surgeon that does the procedure for almost half of what all other surgeons in my area charge and I'm finally in a position career/school-wise where I can take a week off. I was skeptical of this surgeon at first because of his price. All other surgeons in the area charge $11k+. My quote from Dr. Tony Pham was $6,100 for lipo of stomach, flanks, back roll and thighs but I'll actually end up paying $5,700 because he offers a $400 discount if paid with a personal check. A friend of mine has gone to him twice now and her results are great! I've been lurking on this site now for many years. Now that it's finally my turn, I figured I should share my story in case it helps someone else. I've found it so helpful to be able to read through everyone's journeys!

Ughh looking at my body like this groses me out. But I want to be able to see where I came from post bbl so, here it is! I'm 27 5'4 150lbs and two kids ages 5 and 6. I recently gained 8 lbs which has been pretty depressing because it took me 3 months to lose it and then I fell off and gained it all back. With my bbl coming up July 8th I'm scared to lose any weight so, I guess it can stay for now but ughh. My fiance says he thinks I should GAIN weight for the procedure but there is no way I can allow myself to get any bigger than this. I don't wanna be left with a fat face and fat arms after surgery. Any other ladies with a similar body frame? I am doing lipo of the abs, flanks, bra roll and thighs. I was concerned about lipo on my thighs because I have big calves and didn't want it to look weird but he ensured me it doesn't work like that and that my legs would look fine and proportionate. I had my preop yesterday and paid for the procedure in full. Originally he quoted $6,100 but I paid in full so I received a $400 discount. If I wanna come back for a second round, he'll only charge $3k AND I have until the day of surgery to back out and get a full refund minus a $500 cancelation fee if within 10 days of the appt. His prices are insane for this area! My girl went to him for two rounds and she looks great. I'm super excited and nervous. Do you think I'll have a good result based on my current frame?? I was surprised and a little taken back that he never had me undress to look at my body. Is that normal? He just had me left up my shirt and then examined my bootay through my jeans. I guess there's not much too it, take out as much fat as possible and put it in your butt.

My surgery is scheduled for July 8th and as the time approaches, I am getting worried that I don't have enough fat to give me a big enough booty! I'm not skinny by any means, I'm 5'4 150lbs and 19% body fat but I don't carry a lot of weight in my stomach. He will be doing lipo in my abdomen, flanks, back roll and thighs. My thighs are also very toned as I work out daily and hike a lot. I really dont want to gain any weight but am wondering if it might be a good idea to lay off on the workouts for the next few weeks. Thoughts anyone? I wonder if it would make a difference in my end result.
