I'm currently looking I enhance my curves and add volume to my booty. I've never had a procedure done before so I'm experiencing that roller coaster of emotions right now. Some of my family members have laughed at the whole idea of what I plan on doing but whateeevs. So I'm looking into getting Lipo with a bbl done with Dr Pantoja. I called his office and they told me I'd need to lose about 10-15 lbs before I can even consider the procedure. Starting today I plan on getting on a diet and excersizing. I am looking into hopefully dropping the weight by June/July if possible to schedule something with him around that time.

Welcome to the pantoja team. Why did they tell u to lose weight? How much do u weight and how tall are u?
February 26, 2016
I'm 5'2 174 she said I'd have to get down to 160. I'm guessing she was Pantojas assistant. I still went ahead and emailed the pictures just in case

Looking at your pictures,I am surprised he has asked you to loose weight?? Surely he would need as much fat to put in your butt? You are not that big!!!

Anyway,I am not the doc...He must know what he is doing .. xo

Yeah I have consulted with 2 other doctors and they didn't say anything regarding to lose weight..but yeah he's the doctor. I'm so excited!!

Maybe her fat is under the muscle and not under the skin. He can get to the fat under the skin but not under the muscle. I'm 5'2, 173 lbs and have surgery scheduled for the 12th of April. He didn't tell me to lose weight. Who knows.

I live about 45 mins north of the border so I was planning on just going home. I wonder if anyone's done that after a mommy makeover.
February 27, 2016

Do you think we'll be ok Sunshinee05? Have you had a chance to ask the doctor's office to see if you'd be good to go? What procedure are you getting done? What day?

I'm also on the heavier side and dr Pantoja did not ask me to loose and I have surgery this coming Tuesday. But maybe it's where you hold the weight. All mine is in my thighs and tummy.
February 27, 2016
I am looking to do the same. Please keep us updated on your journey.

Recovery Home/Hotel

soontobeplastic
I'm currently looking into the recovery room/hotel process. I haven't decided yet exactly where to stay. I'm gonna have someone travel with me so any advice on what would be a good place? I went ahead and did my own little search and ran across this recovery home called Eureka. They have a very good price. $150 a night for a King size room with ocean view and all the other amenities. Transportion, laundry service. I had read somewhere a recovery home charged so much if you were going with someone. But if that someone you're going with would take care of helping bathe you and stuff they'd charge a bit less. Anywho, any suggestions are welcomed. Also my bf is a bit scared about staying in the Tijuna area in the time being.. Any RH is San Diego?

Hi, I will have my surgery with Dr. Pantoja on April 29th. I will stay at a hotel since i'm only stay for the weekend. My surgery is on a Friday so will be staying for the weekend. I contacted a recovery home, but they told me they only take patients that are staying minimum of 3 days or more. How many days are you planing to stay?

Oh ok yeah you need someone to take care of you. I spoke to Tannia from Dr. Pantojas office she referred me to a recovering home. I don't recalled the name but it starts with an area code (909) The lady who assisted me over the phone don't recall her name its was patty or something like that she was really helpful. she explained how can i make my recovery more smoother and techniques. maybe you should call. Just ask Tannia for some recovery homes.
March 6, 2016
Okay I'll do that. Nadia sent me an email with two recovery homes on them. I'll just call though
