Okay...so here it is...I'm 5'6, I was at my absolute heaviest 220 and recently lost 20 lbs and now I'm 200 and still losing...I've been BEYOND obsessed with this procedure it has become my RITUAL to read reviews and watch everyones transformations! I've been back and forth with myself about this for years! I've researched, I've gone to consults, lost weight & gained weight! Once upon a time prior to children I had a mini bump...but its all but gone now! :-( So theres nothing left for me to do but to get it back! This past year was a little rough for me with this weight gain, so now I gotta do what I gotta do to get this booty back!

I went to a few consults and thought I had my mind made up until I realized how much these docs up here charge! There is an upwards of a $10,000 difference! So recently I saw a Dr. Salama review and he has now become my new obsession. I called the office this Monday and talked to Ruben. He sent me out an email on Tuesday and I've sent in my pics for review today! The only downer was that Ruben said that they are scheduling for late July now, Once I book I plan on becoming Rubens best friend...tryin to get in on one of those cancellations! So as of now I'm pretty much dead set on Dr. S. Just playing the waiting game for my reply now.

I do have a few questions...I know most of the women on here have either had their BBL done or are anxiously waiting for that day! I've heard a lot of diff things about TT vs Lipo alone. So can someone please tell me what are the pros & cons are

Hey Total, how far in advance did you book you sx to get that date? I'm planning on NOT having the TT but I'm not completely ruling it out...Good luck to you too! Are you getting anxious?

Hey Hey Pinky Lynn Congrats on the weight loss I too am losing weight for my procedure what are you doing to lose weight?

Pinky Lynn

March 26, 2012

Thanks girlie...I cut out any and all things white, no fried foods...which is killin me! i've been in the gym like a mad woman! Everytime I even think about cheating I look at my wish pic to pull me back...lol

What have you been doing? Did the Dr. say that you should lose a certain amount?

Cantwait2bbad

March 26, 2012

At first I was told not to lose any weight because all the fat could be used. Once I got my qoute back and made my deposit, I was told it would be in my best interest to lose 20-25lbs. She said if I really wanted to look good to lose and not gain any weight from my original amount. So here I am but I feel good about it, I do want to look my best spending my money lolo. My diet is like yours no sugar, lots of protein no beef, lots of water and yes at the gym and lots of walking.

Cantwait2bbad

March 28, 2012

Well I'm trying hard to lose as much as I can I do like to eat so its a sacrafice. I want a change in my life so I'm all in I'm doing it. My day is July 9th I have three months to complete this goal I can do it

Pinky LynnMarch 28, 2012

Good morning ladies! I FINALLY got my email for my consult back from Ruben/Dr. Salama. So here it is.....

He said that I'm a good candidate for a BBL & TT...but he only wants to do the BBL if my skin doesn't retract completely around my abdomen area....so if I did have something that I wasn't happy with then that would be something he offered to do within a years time after the BBL.

For Cantwait2bbad & Upsidedown DollyPar.......Now about the weight loss, the Dr. told me to lose weight until I'm about 25lbs above my ideal weight...so no preset weight was given. I'm thinking once I loose this next 20, 25 I should be good. He said that he'll do aggressive lipo on the abdomen, flacks and back, and once that procedure is done we'll see how I feel about my overall results and then revisit the TT issue.

Have a productive day ladies!

I happened to be on vacation in Fl when I went for my consult. That was mid Feb. So it was an in-person consult. When I came back home, I then went ahead and called to schedule my surgery date. I think I called like the very first few days in March and was given a next avail date of Jun 14.

The whole weight loss thing got me going crazy here. I know Dr. S wants me to loose like 50 lbs by Jun to have great results but part of me feels like I think I'll be good without loosing so much. Most of the girls on here getting their bbl's are like size 2's and whatnot. Not that there's anything wrong with that but for me I don't want that. I used to be that and for some strange ass reason as I got older I came to love my bigger, thicker body. I didn't care that I no longer had my early twenties figure. I guess it's because my breasts suited my bigger body better now than when I was smaller so idk. Either way I'm gonna try to loose some weight-more so for health reasons. Weight in (no pun intended) on this if you'd like.

Pinky Lynn

March 28, 2012

I def agree with you about most of them being a size 2...you're right...there isn't anything wrong with that, but everyone doesn't want to be super skinny...some of us just want more of a defined shape. Well he said for me to loose 25 lbs above my ideal weight...not sure why he said ABOVE my ideal weight....since 4 L is about 8 pounds...or am I missing something? He did say that the weight loss with give for more...WAY more of a drastic change. So I'm thinking 20-25 lbs more will be more than enough...I hope ::crossing my fingers::

Upsidedown DollyPar

March 28, 2012

Yeah I also could never really figure out what 4 L amounted to in lbs. lol! I also thought it was 8 lbs but then you figure why would the docs recommend 20-25 lbs above your ideal weight? who knows. Did you book a date yet?

Pinky Lynn

March 28, 2012

My head hurts tryin to figure that part out...lol. No...I didn't book my date yet, I sent Ruben another email...so hopefully he'll respond super quick, once he gets back to me then I'll be booking.....I'm super hype!!!!

Teresa8296

March 28, 2012

Thats exactly what he told me!!!! (which is in my review) he said he would NOT be able to be as aggressisve with the lipo if he had to do the bbl and tt together, so then I decided to do just the bbl. BUT hell the price did not go down like I thought it would. Although, I understand I'm going to be in a hospital instead. I know your happy!

Pinky Lynn

March 28, 2012

Yeah! I'm def excited! When is your procedure? No...the price of the TT is damn near the same and the BBL...I thought it was going to be a bigger difference between the two. Your having yours done in the hospital?

Teresa8296

March 29, 2012

Yes, its almost the same price. My date is 07/27 at hospital for precautions for my pre-existing medical condition.

Pinky Lynn

March 30, 2012

Did you request it be in a hospital or did the Dr. recommend it?

Pinky LynnMarch 30, 2012

Hey ladies...I just have a quick question...hopefully someone can help me out...So I was going through reading a few reviews today and saw a lot of the girlies talking about group rates....Can someone explain how many people are needed for a group rate....because if its only two, I wouldn't mind going on with someone....I haven't put down for my date yet...so if anyone is interested feel free to post or send my a message.....TTYL

He suggested it cause I had alot of questions if I would be ok. So, he said as a precaution, we can be in hospital, just in case something goes wrong. I feel safer there.

Hey Pinky lynn did u gt a date and whats the group rate thing about I'm assuming its about the hotel get back to me I'm in Florida July 7-16

Pinky Lynn

April 5, 2012

Hey Cantwait...No I didn't book my date yet. I'm determined to get into one of these cancelled spaces because i really don't want to wait until August. About the group rate, I saw on a few ladies post about them all getting sx together either on the same date, or on back to back days...I think they booked together. I'm going to call and find out...Because if that is the case then I'll try to find someone to book mine with to save a few...why not...right

Pinky Lynn

April 5, 2012

I just got off the phone with Rubin and he said that when two or more people book at the same time then you can get a 5% discount off of your total cost...It would be around 280.00 if you're just getting the basic BBL...
