I've crossed over! BBL & TT w/ Dr. Jimerson *2 Weeks Post Op w/pictures*

Ok, so I had my consultation with Dr. J today. I first spoke Michelle with who gave me a recap of the information/expectations posted on Dr. J's website and then some. I've found that everyone I have have encountered has been very professional and knowlegable. I've seen some complaints about the timeliness of the calls for the consultation. My call was 3 hours later, but I have flexibility in my work schedule so it wasn't a problem. Most doctors charge a consultation fee, Dr. J is "free." For this very reason, I didn't mind the extra wait time. So happy to talk to the man himself! He was so down to earth and easy to talk to. He answered my list of questions and I didn't feel rushed at all. I hung up the phone feeling confident he knew exactly what I'm aiming to achieve. My list includes BBL, TT, lipo of inner thighs, lipo of upper back and bra area, also lipo of my arms. Heck I even threw a little Botox in there! LOL

Only disappointment of the day was the timeframe for surgery... I was told they're booked out until May 2013! My heart sank to the floor. I can't wait that long! I had my medical clearance done today and have my cash in hand for surgery. If anyone plans to cancel in the month of January PLEASE let me know. I'll even pay $500 for a January surgery date! There's no way I will be able to get this done in May. I will be on business travel and hoped to be healed by then. HELP!!!

Hello BBL sisters! Work has been crazy since the beginning of the new year. Wanted to take a few minutes to give you guys an update. So, I have my surgery date all set for January 30th! I'm totally excited and anxious to get it done and over with. I really needed to have my surgery done in January for work purposes and ended up with the second to the last day in the month. Michelle at Dr. J's office has been awesome! God is good!

I've been focusing on getting all of the items from the "needed" list (thanks BootieBeauty78 ;-). They are slowly trickling in via US mail and fed Ex. Half of it i dont know what to do with, LOL! I'll be stalking your posts to find out when i'm supposed to do what and take what (hehe). I'm learning so much from you guys, thank you! One of the things i'm really concerned with is the extra garment. I want to buy an extra for sanitary reasons, but don't know what size.... I'm 5'7 about 190 lbs. I'm also having arm lipo/upper back/bra rolls, so didn't know If I should get a garment with sleeves... again what size? Does anyone know if Dr. J will use a garment with sleeves with these procedures? I looked at the recommended styles 1630 & 1632 on Lipo Express. They also sell the garment with sleeves. I believe there is a garment store in the mall close to my house. I will check it out.

I'm all booked at the Holiday Inn Express, but thinking about changing to the Embassy Suites that's approx, 6 miles from the office. My caretaker has a car and is going to take me to my appointments, shopping, etc. so the distance to/from the office won't be a big deal. I like the long hallways and openness of the Embassy Suites which will allow me ample space to walk around. Of course they have a microwave, fridge, separate room with sofa bed for my caregiver and free breakfast daily for the both of us. I'm having quite a bit done (BBL, TT, fat transfer to hips, lipo: inner thighs, upper back, bra rolls and chin so I have her for 4 days post surgery and all appointments.

Other than that, I'm just trying to get all of my business in order so surgery time is stress free! Still have about 5 or more lbs I want to shed so I've cut out carbs, sodas and sugar. I'm also walking 3 miles in the afternoons. I'll post some photos just before surgery. That's all for now! TTYL!
