2 weeks post-op with pics. #Dr. J

Hello Ladies,
So I have decided to be more involved and writing my first review. I am looking for the same support I've been seeing through the BBL sisterhood. I had a phone consult with Dr. J two weeks and I was going to see Dr. Markmann and Dr. Rodriguez, but after seeing the T.I. & Tiny show, I was sold. He is way more reasonable and I feel that he will really be able to give me the body that I want. I picked up running in the spring through a running group I joined (Black Girls Run- shout out) and I love it. What is starting to happen is that Im getting more toned, but my butt is getting even smaller than it was. Ive been having this battle with my butt my entire life so I am taking the step to do something about it. I'm looking to have kids within the next 2-3 years, but I'd rather do it now than wait to have it when my children are of toddler age and I'm able to go through a 3 week recovery. At minimum that'll be 5 years from now. I'm not waiting that long. Doing me now before I have to give my all to kids, career, and husband. After speaking with Dr. J, he said the lipo and BBL will provide a good foundation to be pretty and pregnant and keep my body at a decent size with no effects to the butt. The stomach will stretch but I'll work out all I can and nip/tuck if need be. I just want the butt!! I'm looking at this as an investment into my body. LOL. I was told to gain about 5-10 pounds. Im running a half marathon in the spring so I'm really going to work on that weight gain for summer 2013, which is when I plan on having the surgery. It's going to be hard for me not to run and workout but Ill do what I need to do to give him enough to work with. I want something natural that will put an S-curve to my backside. In a thong, my butt doesn't look crazy but without it, I have a long back. Dr. J also wanted to give me hips. At first, I didnt think I'd need it but he is the expert. I hear that he is always trying to give someone hips but that's maybe why he is Dr. J Curves. That's his thing. I want a natural looking S-curve to my shape and a butt like Serena which I think will go with how big my thighs are. Anyway, Ive found a buddy on here already....BuddyGum28. Just talking to her has been great support and reading you guys comments are all encouraging me to move forward. This was a solo effort for me. Not much support from friends and boyfriend, so its amazing to have this community. Looking to put my deposit down today as soon as the office opens and before prices jump. I'm sure they will after the exposure from the show. Monica was my coordinator but she hasnt been answering her phone or returning emails. I heard she may be out of the office because she underwent BBL recently. Well I was approved for the entire amount of the surgery through CareCredit but want to put at minimum half down. I'm excited to start the journey. 2013 will be my year.

I put the deposit down and July 3rd it is. Because of Realself I found my buddy and wont have to do a solo effort. We are traveling together and our surgeries are back to back. This is helping me take the anxiety off and feel nothing but excitement. Now the prep begins..

Happy that I have another buddy to go through this with...PrettyPhysique. Our surgeries are all scheduled for the same day and we are looking for a house to rent. If you are serious about putting a deposit down, but have a late consult date and your looking to book a surgery soon, I would call the office and tell them just that. My two buddies were scheduled for consults in January and February, but when they called and told them they were serious and had their deposit, they moved their consults up and were able to put their deposits down. Had they waited for their consults, the July dates for surgery would probably have been booked. You pretty much better have your deposit ready to be paid so you must be serious if you are looking to get an earlier consult date.
