Posted 23 Dec 2011

I've always been insecure about my derriere for as long as I could remember. So now that I'm older I've decided to stop complaining and do something about it!

I would like advise from anyone who has undergone the procedure or who is thinking about doing the procedure on what additional things to bring when travelling. Also positive words are encouraged! I am thoroughly losing sleep over this as I am soooooo scared of dying! lol (it's awful but i'm freaking out)

So I am pretty sure I'm going to be starting my period on my surgery date -_- I've been asking the doctor and he says its fine to still operate. But I am still not at ease. Has anyone ever had this surgery while menstruating?
*Sorry I keep asking these uncomfortable q's lol*

2 weeks until I become booty licious. 2 weeks until I won't have to stuff my pants with anything. 2 weeks until i won't have to wear butt pads. 2 weeks until I won't have that awkward moment where I stare at girls with big booties when i'm out with the boo. 2 weeks until I can feel hot in tight fitting dresses. :) I appreciate everyone's help and support during this surgery. And I continue to ask for everyone's prayers! I truly believe in the power of prayer and claiming I will have a successful surgery. Thanks Love. Will post another update when I leave for Miami.

p.s. I really like my butt dimples. Its really hard to see in my pics but i have them on my lower back. I hope I can keep them after the surgery with the lipo!

I hope this review will help as many people as possible. As others reviews have so great helped me.
*FIRST AND FOREMOST I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MY FATHER IN HEAVEN FOR WATCHING OVER ME THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE PROCEDURE AND THANKFUL I’M ALIVE TO SHARE MY STORY. THANKS TO ALL THE GIRLS WHO ALWAYS HELPED ME WITH ANSWERING Q’S AND GIVING GREAT ADVICE @ROSAPR, @HEARTSHAPE, @SLUSHPUPPIE, @AKATUDE, @DANIELLE01, @HIGHSPRINGS @ENJOYSELF & MANY OTHERS. LOVE YOU ALL :)
*I ALSO MET A FEW GIRLS FROM REALSELF AT THE OFFICE, IT WAS PRETTY COOL EXCHANGING USER ID’S AND TALKING ABOUT OUR EXPERIENCES THEY WERE ALL SO NICE AND FRIENDLY! ALL SWEET GIRLS EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE PERSON ON HERE WHO ATTACKED ME FOR ACCIDENTALLY MENTIONING HER NAME ON HER BLOG AFTER I HELPED HER PICK UP HER BELONGINGS FROM THE DOCTORS OFFICE. I HAVE APLOGIZED TO YOU FOR MISTAKENLY MENTIONING YOUR NAME AND SENT YOU PRIVATE MESSAGES DOING SO. SO MY LAST APOLOGY IS THAT I REGRET EVEN WASTING MY KINDNESS ON SOMEONE AS YOURSELF. AND I’LL BE KEEPING IT POSITIVE AS ALWAYS BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT’S WHAT A WEBSITE LIKE THIS SHOULD BE USED FOR {POSITIVITY AND SUPPORT NOT PETTY ARGUMENTS}. SO AGAIN THANK YOU TO ALL MY LOVEZ AND THE FRIENDS I HAVE MADE FROM THIS SITE, EVERYONE WHO PRAYED AND SENT ME THEIR PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS AND NUMBERS FOR SUPPORT.
*NOW ON TO IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE SURGERY: PLEASE BRING SOMEONE WITH YOU TO FLORIDA. PLEASE. AFTER YOUR SURGERY YES YOU CAN HIRE A NURSE FOR 2 OR 3 DAYS BUT YOU NEED SOMEONE WITH YOU THE ENTIRE TIME TO HELP YOU WITH SO MANY LITTLE THINGS. THE OFFICE JOB IS TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A SAFE SURGERY AND RECOVERY NOT BABYSIT SO YOU REALLY NEED SOMEONE HELPING YOU UNTIL YOU LEAVE.
*BE PREPARED FOR NOTHING BUT LESS THAN PURE AND UTTER HELL THE FIRST 72HOURS. [SERIOUSLY]. I FEEL LIKE WOMEN ON HERE DON’T TALK ABOUT THIS SO MUCH ON THEIR BLOGS. I MEAN ITS NOT ALL CANDY AND RAINBOWS, LIKE IT’S MAJOR SURGERY, AND LADIES ITS AWFUL SERIOUSLY THE FIRST 3 DAYS, NAUSEA, DIZZINESS, WEAKNESS, BLOOD, TIREDNESS. WITH THAT SAID PRAY, BRING SOMEONE WITH YOU, AND DO IT ANYWAY! GOD WILL SEE YOU THROUH! AND EVERYONE’S BODY IS DIFFERENT AND REACTS TO THE ANESTHESIA DIFFERENTLY. I MYSELF HAD A FEVER FOR 7 DAYS, WAS WEAK, COULD BARELY MOVE, AND WAS IN PAIN. I LATER WAS ADMITTED INTO THE ER FOR SEVERE ANEMIA (WAS ANEMIC PRIOR TO SURGERY) BUT AM DOING MUCH BETTER NOW. ITS MAJOR SURGERY NOT SOME LITTLE THING SO BE PREPARED!!!.
*STOCK UP ON GATORADE AND LIQUIDS, THE DRIVER LARRY WILL ALSO TELL YOU THIS. BUT THEY ALSO WANT YOU TO BE EATING MEATS AND CHICKEN NOT SOUP! SO MAKE SURE YOU’RE AWARE OF THAT WHEN YOU GO GROCERY SHOPPING AND PICK HOTEL LOCATIONS. NOT A LOT OF PLACES DELIVER IN MIAMI BESIDES PIZZA HUT *yuck*! I DON’T KNOW WHY!! IT WAS SOOO FRUSTRATING FOR ME I WOULD HAVE TO MUSTER UP THE STRENGTH TO WALK TO THE BURGER KING NEAR THE HOTEL WHERE I STAYED. EVENTUALLY I FOUND THIS SITE THAT DID DELIVER OUT OF ALL THE SITES AND NUMBERS I CALLED SO GIRLS U CAN USE THIS: http://www.grubhub.com/
*BRING A LAXATIVE THE PRESCRIPTION DR. SALAMA GIVES IS NOT A LAXATIVE! JUST A STOOL SOFTNER SO IT WON’T ACTUALLY MAKE YOU GO TO THE BATHROOM UNLESS YOU USE A LAXATIVE. I PURCHASED AN INTESTINAL CLEANSER FROM A NATURAL FOOD STORE AND I DRANK IT 2 DAYS AFTER SURGERY ONCE AND WENT TO THE BATHROOM ALMOST EVERYDAY AFTER THAT IT WORKED WONDERS.

My Doctor: Moises Salama, MD

My rating:

DR. NUNEZ THE ANESTHESIOLOGIST IS VERY VERY TALENTED AND COMFORTING, I TOLD HIM I WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE ANESTHESIA AND ITS AFFECT ON MY STOMACH (I HAVE SEVERE IBS) AND HE SHOWED ME THE LIQUID MEDICATION HE PUTS INTO THE ANESTHESIA TO HELP WITH THAT I WAS SO IMPRESSED AT HOW HE TRIED TO CALL ME DOWN. DR SALAMA IS VERY FRIENDLY, VERY ATTENTIVE, VERY PLEASANT, AND VERY VERY GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES, I LOVED HOW HE TOOK NOTES ON WHAT I WANTED DURING MY CONSULT THAT IMPRESSED ME. LAST TIME I WENT TO HIS OFFICE HE ASKED ME IF I WAS OK AND I SAID I WAS HUNGRY LOL AND HE GAVE ME HIS BAG OF CHEETOS! HANDS DOWN HE’S LEAVING ALL THE SURGEONS IN FLORIDA (AND PROBABLY IN THE US) IN THE DUST. I WOULD SAY ALSO IF YOU WANT HIM TO DO YOUR SURGERY EVEN IF YOU DON’T HAVE ALL THE $ NOW JUST BOOK A DATE, BECAUSE HE GETS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY PATIENTS FROM THE US AND LITERALLY AROUND THE WORLD FROM AN ECONOMICS POINT OF VIEW HIS PRICES WILL KEEP GOING UP ITS JUST INEVITABLE BECAUSE OF THE HIGH INFLUX OF PATIENTS. SO BOOK YOUR DATE BEFORE IT DOES BECAUSE THIS GUY IS THE NEW MENDIETTA IF NOT BETTER. RUBEN HIS BROTHER IS MY FAVORITE, WE SAT AND GOSSIPED FOR LIKE AN HOUR THE FIRST DAY I MET HIM ABOUT EVERYTHING. THEY REALLY MAKE SURE YOU FEEL LIKE FAMILY. NOMIE IS GORGEOUS AND FRIENDLY AND WAS ALWAYS POLITE WHENEVER I CALLED HER CELL.

Btw I messaged Ruben about how i'm having an anxiety attack over this. My email was like sooo long I thought he probably thought I was nuts.

But he called me back like literally 1 sec after I sent the email he's awesome. Him and Dr.S!! :)
cupcakes11 27 Dec 2011
wow! my friend and I will be there on the 19th. Literally a couple of days of your departure. You are going to be just fine and come out with a banging bodd and so will we. We will pray for you and you do the same for us. We all have those feelings, trust me and there isn't one story yet that made me have second thoughts. All worth it. I love Dr. Salamas' staff!
Lana234 27 Dec 2011

Danielle01 27 Dec 2011
Well you know what they say beauty is pain. Just try to relax and in the end it is worth it. To in there with realistic expectations and you won't be dissapointed.
Lana234 27 Dec 2011
Yea beauty is pain lol. I think me trying to relax is my biggest challenge thus far but am working on it! And it's always nice to hear positive feedback from you and all the ladies on here :)
Danielle01 27 Dec 2011
I got more and more nervous the closer that I got. But that is normal and to be expected and believe me the staff at the medical office are prepared to help ease your worries. But know that I am almost 2 weeks post op I know that I made the best decision ..
Lana234 29 Dec 2011
Well it was a great decision! Your results are amazinggg!! But thank you i'll keep that in mind.
Ass'R Us 28 Dec 2011
Yes ma'am I trying to relax too. I think im more relaxed now since I heard great news abt my iron when I first went my iron was a 9 now its a 13 which that made me very excited.
Lana234 28 Dec 2011
Oh wow! glad your iron level is back up! that must hv been worrisome but that's great news!

I need to keep using my vitamins and everything as well!
Ass'R Us 28 Dec 2011
Yes it did kinda bother me but not much because I knew wat I had to do n that was taken then iron pills
I gotta go buy me some vitamin c pills too
Lana234 29 Dec 2011
Yea same here! Are you taking any other vitamins or supplements to help you get ready for the surgery?
Ass'R Us 30 Dec 2011
No all I was told to take is vitamin c and of course my iron pills. Did ur doctor have a list of meds not to take a month before ur surgery n the month of n after? Did ur doctor have a list of stuff saying not to smoke nor be around smoke I have like a booklet of thing to do n not to do wat other vitamins u takin
Lana234 1 Jan 2012
Hey Daytona, Yea there's a list of stuff to do and not to do. I just haven't looked into yet cause i've been so busy but will soon! Thanks girl!
iwannabebootylicious 28 Dec 2011
Pray! I know how you feel, i felt same way when i my tonsils removed, my breast reduction, and I now feel that way now that i'm getting the BBL, I would definitely find out who is administering the anesthia, because they are more important then the doctor. You can also google malpractice suits as well, take a friend or family member who is supportive, but most importantly pray.
Lana234 29 Dec 2011
I'M PRAYING EVERY SECOND!! And won' stop! lol
Yea that is great advice, fortunately i know who is doing the anesthesia he's a very good doc, i've read about him. ANd you're more than right prayer is key! And supportive family or friends.
Oh wow so you've acetually had a few surgeries lol When are you thinking about doing your bbl?
iwannabebootylicious 30 Dec 2011
Jan 23 im super excited.
Danielle01 29 Dec 2011
Don't worry about anything and just be realistic. I didn't want a huge butt that would draw attention I just wanted better shape and that is what he gave me
crreatethyself 3 Jan 2012
Hey Im think about getting mine done also, but im scared. I live in Atlanta as well. Id really like to see how your surgery turns out. I wish you the best,
Lana234 4 Jan 2012
Thank you! yea i didnt find anyone in Atlanta much less Georgia that I was happy/comfortable with. I'll let you know how it all goes :)
RosaPR 4 Jan 2012
Hey Lana... Dont worry girl. Everything will turn out great ..and about getting your period. I believe that taking the iron pills will help that. That's what I was told when I thought I was going to get mine too. Keeping you in prayer but you will be fine.
