ABOUT ME
Spent the last 6 weeks reading, now it's my turn to share. Hopefully I can help someone else as I have been help. I am 38 yrs old, single mom of two adult kids, 5' 5'" and 147lb at the moment. With little efforts I maintain 137lb and when I am 100% with my diet and exercise I am get to my goal weight which is 130lb, which I think I look the best. Had my in-house consultation with Dr J, back in Oct and I was at 140lb then which I thought was fat for me, but Dr J and Michelle (patient coordinator) advice that i still needed to gain 10 to 15 more lbs, so in 1 month I have gained 7lb. None of my clothes fit, I am super depress, and i am hiding out from friends and family because I look like sh!t with the extra weight. I just broke down and bought some new clothes for work to accommodate the extra and weight and at least gain some of my swagger back. I get tons of stares at work now (shock), because I am gaining weight fast, but nobody is saying nothing. Whats funny to me is when i am losing weight people are quick to comment, but on the flip side when u gaining weight people just watch you sit around and get fat and is too scared to hurt your feelings by saying anything about it.

WHY AM I DOING THIS XS??
I want to look GREAT nekkid! I am tired of getting out the bed with a guy and walking sideways to the bathroom or laying there waiting for him to get up first. I am sure they know what my butt looks like, but I just CANT walk around nekkid with that sad looking butt! Yes, I have done the squats, lunges, donkey kicks, fire hydrine, bridges, all that, but all I achieved was a strained back and steeeel no booty. I know my butt was small, but I still had no idea that it looked as bad as it did until this summer I was out shopping and was in a store dressing room that had the three way mirror and my reflection shocked me!! So with age, I went from having a small butt to now a saggy but with cellulite. :( Yes, something drastic had to be done IMMEDIATELY!!

WHY DR J??
Results….PERIOD. I am not rich, I am working hard trying to pay my bills, take care of my kids and home like everybody else, but I am NOT going to bargain shop a booty. For a minute DR sounded very appealing, Duran specifically, but too many cons to the one pro of fraction of the cost if done here in the US. What made me decide for sure NOT to go to DR, wasn't the waking up during surgery (that should have done it but it didn't LOL) was when I read one review about Yily doing surgery in the SAME bloody scrub (hmm what other nastiness or short cuts are being done that is not that apparent?!!) and having to boil the water before taking a shower EWWW….not for me!! Nope, I'll pay the extra money for safety if nothing else. Also I have yet to find any DR reviews pass the one year mark. Yea, you will get a fat a$$ for sure, but will it last, or is it quality fat that was harvested? All the girls are like "Gonna be a Lily/Duran doll!!!" Within months girls are back on that plane heading for round two. I want to do this once, which in the long run IS cheaper, but that's just me. Plus, I love Dr J's technique which is under the muscle, in the muscle and over the muscle, giving you more booty than u want to accomadate for the 30% fat lost and the swelling so when u are completely healed you will be satisfied with the FINAL RESULTS. Most reviews on here states that Dr J gives ghetto, video chick, black girl booties, but that's just his skills, give you more, so after the swelling and fat loss
you are left with the butt of your dreams.

Also the bad comments for Dr J, are from patients who had too much fat that was outside the the limits of what he could remove, so therefore he focus on removing from the stomach, flanks and lower back only and not the back fat/rolls. Real talk... this surgery's ideal candidate is someone 10 to 20lb over their ideal weigh, so when you choice to have this surgery outside of that be realistic with your expectations. If you don't have enough fat, you will not have a big butt, if you have too much fat, the surgery alone will not get you to your ideal body shape. You will have to lose the weight the old fashion way or pay for more lipo. My goal is a shapely butt with some projection that last long after my recovery period so Dr j it is.

Dr. J. I have seen his booties here on his web site //youtube. Thin and Thick people. Bad comments and good comments and on TV. and the reason I did not go with him ( my oppinion.) Is they all look the same and to me they look like a shelf. But that is what most women want.. I have been looking into him and others for the past (i said two but ) 3yrs. Dr. Mendieta in FL was where I was going to go, I looked at bootays all over the US until I found this site but did not get on here until couple monthes ago. I had been on YOUTUBE reading and looking. the ps that did my breast reduction is suppose to be a good BBL. but I had a time with him when he did my breast so he cannot touch me anymore...I should have been losing weight while looking but I did not so I am losing like a champ. but I need to lose like that TV show...lol good luck to you. I am sure that your results will be nice. from what I have read all go onto, into and under the muscle. only one doc does mixes something into the fat to help it survive and mold better. I want to say it is DR. HUGHs but I do not remember who. have you read about the fluffing that happens, It doesnt seem that they are losing 30% anymore better techniques and healthier bodies with proper nutrition seems to be helping.

Hey CC seems like you did your research and too! Yea, Dr J butts all look the same but, it's high and a shelf, and I would prefer a infamous upside down heart shape butt, but I am willing to beat those shelf will eventually settle into a nice slope after time. I have breast implants and at first it was hugh and high in my chest, but now everything settle and drops naturally, and that is with more solid than fat. Yea, I think it's Dr Hugh that mixes the fat with grow hormone or something like that. Dr Hugh does have some dramatic results too and if I was in LA, I would probably go with him. Let me know who you decide to go with and why.

Omg! Sista you sound just like me in thread. I'm 2 weeks post op from Dr. Jimerson. I'm a mother of two girls who highly encourage me through my surgery. One of my daughter have me Dr. J's info and said mommy go to this doctor he's the best! I happy my 21 year old did that. The doctor I had a consultation with had 2 people die on the surgery table this year. Dr. J and his staff are awesome. Believe me you made a good choice. I've been a register nurse for years and I couldn't have chosen no one else better. Also, having to hide your shape in from men... been there done that!, and looking at your self in the dressing room... Depressed me even more. Shelly advised me to gain 15-20lbs on top of my 5"2 130lbs frame. People in my work place thought I was pregnant because all my weight was in mid section. It's ok I wore bigger scrubs and a lot of sweat pants to cover it. I worked hard and save money and paid cash for my procedure. I very very happy of new shape that I can't get stay of the mirror. My new boyfriend is very supportive and can't wait to ride this new booty. All I can say sista is go for it!!! And pleas make sure your after care plans are in order. You will be in extreme pain afterwards. The staff will give you a list of options. Being that I'm a nurse, I chose Gold platinum care because these ladies take care of everything from washing your clothes, picking you up from his office and taking you to your post-op appointments. If you have any question please don't hesitate to ask. Ttyl I gotta put my compression garment back on and sleep on my belly!

Where you been hiding WonderWoman!! Glad you are doing great and loving your results!! Are you back home? Please write a review and post before and after pictures! How much weight did you end up gaining? I got the info on the Gold Platinum care, but was going to go with Sue at $150 per day for housing, transportation, meals and care. Please share the details of the Gold Platinum, how long you stayed, how much you paid, how many girls in a room, how far from the Dr J's office, etc.

I'm still in the recovery phase. I was discharge last Tuesday in time for the holiday. I gained 15lbs in 6weeks and it's was hard. I ate about 3,00 calories a day and drank ensures. I stay 1 week with GPC and had Terris as my care taker and two nurses that came in the morning and evening time. All rooms are separate, clean, and everyone was very friendly. As a matter of fact we all became good friends (nurses) and I'm headed back to ATL next month to visit them. I was in pain, unable to bend over, sit or even stand for the first few days. I couldn't ask for better help. Terris provided 3 meals plus healthy snacks. You must lay off the carbs and eat more protein to heal faster. After the 3rd day I felt better and headed to Lennox mall with my new found friends. If you need a massage, hair or nails done she can provided that along with laundry, pick up from Dr. J office and the airport. She's does everything for less than $145 a night, Please give her a call and tell her Dee reffered you. Contact Terris @ (678) 463-4119

Btw the girls at GPC are not only employees... they were Dr. J clients as well. So, they know the steps to recovery.

Also, I don't have a shelf booty. I never wanted one. I asked for heart shape to go with my small frame and he gave me 750cc in each cheek along with 200cc in each hip. I look great and felt great! Good luck girl:-)
December 2, 2013
i am glad he gave it to you, but as i said that was all i saw on his sight. unless he has updated it in the last month. So i did not go with him. and i have all my money in now so i will not be changing now. i had investigated him and his site for more than a year. so never saw anything different.and before i got to RS he was the first ps that spoke about doing BA and BBL in the same surgery. so I have been emailed him back and forth for the last yr or so. but i have made my choice and i am happy for everyone how loves their choices and their new bodies...

No matter what you choose I'm pretty sure you will look nice. Everyone loves my shape and I can't stop rubbing my hips. I love my S curvature shape. Right now I'm still in my garment with minimum swelling, but ready to go back to work.

I just watched the interview. She made herself sound so uneducated about the procedure. She said no injections.... Yes there are. Lipo from the abs and flanks and injections into your ass.. She's an idiot for that. If your not gonna tell it right don't tell at all.

I think she was just trying to be discreet about the entire process, she is a psychology major, she is crazy but not dumb.

Thanks for posting this. I feel bad for her for spending all that money and not getting the results she desired, but in my non professional opinion, she should have lost most of the weight before doing any type of cosmetic surgery. She butt also looked like she sat on it prematurely. She should never have done a TT with a BBL, and I know for sure DR J advice his patients to do he BBL first recover and comeback and do the TT. I just think she was desperate to have the surgery and didn't follow through to lose the weight and do the procedures separately for the best results. If she desires a revision she should start by losing some weight or else same outcome. All that said, I still feel bad for her but someone needs to be honest.
