Hi everyone! I've been lurking for over a year now and have finally decided to go through with a BBL.
STATS
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 150 (my heaviest :-/)
Measurements: 31.5 (under bust), 30.5 (waist), 40 (hips)
At first I was a little hesitant with going to MX, but I feel better now. This site (and MMH) has been extremely helpful with my preparation as well as some of the things to expect. I choose Dr. P based on the results from body types similar to mine.

I’m about 1 week out and sooo anxious to get this over with. My only concern is my iron level, which I’m hoping and praying will be ok for surgery. I’ve been taking iron pills since May and increased my green veggies + OJ. I also just recently started eating pumpkin seeds (pepitas) since they concern a high amount of iron.
I feel like I’m taking too much! Here’s my list:
Thermometer
Hibiclens
Neosporin
Tylenol
Muscle Relaxer
Bromelain (for swelling)
Arnica Montana (for bruising)
Lanacane (for itching)
Dulcolax
Maxi Pads
Scissors (to cut pads)
Funnel (to use bathroom)
Boppy Pillow
Support Garment
Epifoam
Lanyard (to hold drains)
Laundry Detergent
Chux (bed pads)
CoCoa Butter
DMSO (to dissolve lumps?) + Cotton Balls
I do not have a clue as to how many ccs I want; I just know what I want my body to look like afterwards. I’m a visual person and since Dr. P doesn’t speak much English, I’m going to take pictures of the shape that I want – front, side, and back. I’m also going to take photos of what I do not want. I’ve seen quite a few pictures of his work and the ladies seem to have a “shelf” look. I’m not sure if all of them requested this, but it is something I definitely do not want. I want a gradual slope.

Hi Sassy. I'm ready for a new and improved look too! I believe I made the right choice as well. I'm just anxious to get it over with. =)

Hey there. I am scheduled 07/04 w/ Pantoja. However my iron is right below where it needs to be an now I am scared straight. I do not want to require a blood transfusion. What was your iron level and how long are you staying. I planned on staying long enough to get the drains out @ Grace Recovery House

I haven't had it checked...just hoping it's ok when the Dr checks it. I'm staying in a hotel for 4 days after surgery. Hopefully, that will be long enough to have my drains removed as well.
