VSG 4 Years After a BBL

Vsg 4 Years After a Bbl

I had a bbl in 2016 and enjoyed it for a good year and a half before I gained all this weight back. Now I am back focused and realize that I need a weight loss tool and not just a booty. Hopefully I do not lose the handful of butt that I do have, but at this point i dont even care. I am having my vsg at the JL Prado “A slimmer me” clinic in Tijuana on 8/12/20 and I am ecstatic! I am also thinking of a breast lift but we will see what breasts I have left after the weight loss!

May I ask how much was the bbl and how bad was that procedure and recovery?

Well i got my bbl in 2015 in Miami, that was $5500. The sleeve i got last month and was $3200. The recovery for the bbl was a walk in the park for me tbh. I have a high pain tolerance though. Most annoying part was having the drain in your side and feeling a hot liquid sensation whenever you get up and lay down.

I had my sleeve done with Prado. You are in good hands!

I got the basic package too. If I remember correctly, you'll need an extra $150 for meds. The hotel, rehab house, and office were all nice, professional, and clean!

Hi. Glad to hear your recovery is going well and down 27 lbs in a month! Do you mind me asking how much did you weight preop? How are your curves? I also had a bbl in 2017 I was about 155/160 and now I weigh 205. I’m thinking about getting vsg as well, however nervous about losing my butt.

Hey! Thank you! I was 235 pre op, after the 2 week liquid diet i was 224 the day of surgery. My hips and booty was the first things to go after the surgery and im only 35 days post op. Im really sad about it but im going to try to waist train alot and do glute exercises.

Oh no. I’m sure it is worth it. Your health comes first. Doing heavy squats helps. I’m going to try to do mine before the end of the year. Thanks for replying.

So in total with the 2 week liquid diet, im down 27lbs total(15 post op). I feel better, I can actually breathe and walk and do things without being so winded! I feel i couldve lost more in my first month but it’s hard to get enough protein in. I havent drank a protein drink since prior to surgery and the thought of it makes me wanna hurl. I am going to try adding my unflavored protein powder to jello and make shots like i saw on Pinterest. Im currently 207 and hope to be 195 by the end of this month. Im waist training at least 10 hrs a day and hoping to be able to do it longer eventually. Its time to work on these arms though, i dont want the fat flabby arms any more!!! Welp, I’ll be back with a 3 month update in November!
