Today is my Big Day...BBL ...- Tijuana, Mexico Pics Added

I am at the Travelodge in San Ysidro,CA (the border town closest to Tijuana) as I type...my surgery date is today but the site will not let me put today's (5/7/2013) date in for some ODD reason.

FYI- The nearest hotel/motels on the American Side nearest the Tijuana Border are:

Travelodge (28.00$/per night)....a little over half a mile from the border.
190 Calle Primera San Ysidro, California 92173
(619) 428-4486
(This is an old hotel that needs some newness spread across it..as clean as to be expected for 28.00 per night.. I just wanted to be cost effective and close to the border..and I knew I wouldnt sleep much. I brought my own flat sheet to lay across the bed after I threw that nasty comforter on the floor...Anthony Melchiorri.. of Hotel Impossible says that they are all nasty and remove them from the bed IMMEDIATELY!!..lol...do question it..just go with it..
&
Roadway Inn (70$/per night)...half a mile from the border
643 E San Ysidro Blvd, San Ysidro, CA 92173
(619) 428-2800


I have been lurking on this board for some time and I am ready to post..I think! :0

My nerves are torn DF up....sheesh

Here are my stats.
Race: African American
Height: 5'1
Weight: 140
Age: 35
Pregnancies/kids: 3 vaginal births
I have always been kinda curvy but my butt has never been the best of butts. I have yoyo dieted for years I am sure that the up and down weight has contributed to my mushy gushy butt. I played sports in hs and I remember people making reference to my butt being jiggly- even back then...it was never tight. :-l

No one in my family knows that I am here and that I am having the surgery today. I am from a very judgmental family and I just preferred not to the here the BS from them. My ex-husband and kids think that I am on a business trip. #lilwhitelie

Only my best friend in the world knows. He is just as excited and nervous as I am! :-l...I have had to calm him down this morning....guys..gotta love em. He is ringing my phone every hour on the hour.

I have only had 2-3 hours of sleep..which is what I expected. I am a big bundle of nerves..I collected hydro's from my friends and some Phenergan and antibiotics.....in retrospect...I should have collected some dang Xanax!! :(

I flew in yesterday from Tennessee on Frontier Airlines to the Aiport in San Diego (SAN) and rented a car (www.carrentals.com)

Airline ticket: 545.00
Rental car: 35.00 (for 2 days)
Motel: 28.00

I plan to check out of the motel in an hour of so....I will drive to the border..there is a parking lot near the border..for 7.00 per day during the week and 10.00 on the weekends. (Fenced lot)

*I plan to fly home tomorrow at 3pm. I work from home- so I will be able to recover from home. I know that's not ideal...but it is what it is.

I am health and have never had any health problems. I am confident that I will do fine.

I am supposed to stay over night in the clinic and be released tomorrow at noon. I am gonna try my best to make it back across the border and to the airport.....my flight leaves San Diego at 3pm. I will be cutting it close..*fingers crossed.

Yes ma'am I made it home last night to Nashville about 11;30 pm. I drove myself home with my boppy pillow and I was very stiff and sore but...Im okay.

My boyfriend came over during his lunch break and help me to change my pads that I had in the garment to suck up drainage.

Thank so much for the support. I will put my pics up in a few days. I had to get back home....my babysitting situation could only handle 3 days.

The swelling is unreal but I have been up and about all day I even picked my kids up from school with my trusty boppy pillow.

More updates later ladies.

Kind Regards,

MsThickness

Hello ladies.
I am 4 days post op and I am feeling much better. I am up and around and I have ony taken 1 pain pill today. ;)

The pain is really not a pain...its more of an extreme muscle soreness and stiffnes..kinda hard to explain lol.

Results...while I am not exactly happy with my results...I understand that my body was shaped in a certain way that most likely made the results that I wanted impossible. I wanted a defined crease under my butt cheeks. I am very hippy and I feel that to get what I wanted would have made the doctor have to take alot of my hips and it was probally not a consideration.

Dr. P looked at me and told me that he would do his best...I am confident that he did the best that he could with what he had to work with.

Everyone was so nice in TJ. I will say that it was not as scary as I thought it was. I walked right over the border.

I got in a taxi as soon as I went over the bridge and told /showed the taxi driver where I wanted to go- he said "you are still in the States" and then he pointed me to border crossing. I crossed the border without a problem....here is where it got a little dicey!

As I came across the border and down the steps (at 8:15 am)...I see a long azz line! I was thinking dayummmmm.....I will never make it to the doctors office by 9 am from the looks of the line.. ;-/

While I walk about a half of a mile and get into the line and I stand in the line for an hour and a half...this line was long af and barely moving.

I ask the mexican lady in the line from of me if she spoke English and she said...a little...I ask her how long does this line to get into Tijuana usually take?! She looked at me like I was crazy as hell and said "this is the line to get into the US...your alreay in Tijuana!"... I felt so stupid as I got out of the line and walked to the taxi...

After getting in the taxi and giving him Dr. P's address- I was in the lobby of th building in 10 minutes. The taxi ride cost me 5.00 US Dollars.
