So I was going back and forth with Dr. Perry and Dr. Azurin in MIA after meeting with a more expensive doctor whom I loved in NYC. I loved their work and their prices but I was nervous about planning all over again to go to MIA for surgery and risk something going way wrong like with Dr. Salama. At the time of my consult with the expensive doctor, I couldnt afford his rate but low and behold I got a HUGE financial gift from my dad and now I can afford the doctor in NYC and don't have to travel all the way to MIA! WOW! I guess as cliche as it is, everything happens for a reason. My new doctor is Dr. Matthew Schulman. He's not RealSelf famous as some of these other doctors but, his work in fantastic and he was so nice and patient with me at my consult, I think it'll be worth the $10K. I'm going to help put him more on the map. My new date is November 13, 2012. Wish me luck.

Like they say everything happens for a reason....

Like they say everything happens for a reason. Although, it sucks that I am not having my surgery this month as planned, I am more confident going with another doctor that I will get my results I want without complications. I love Dr. Salama's work but maybe he wasnt the doctor for me. I am looking forward to booking with Dr. Anzurin or Dr. Perry (leaning more toward Anzurin; his photos are flawless and Dr. Perry it taking awhile to get back to me). I may just fly to Fla. next week to get a real consult. I had a consult with Dr. Francis (hell to the no wont be going with him; his work is crappy and he is creepy) and Dr. Schulman (he was SO great but not sure I want to spend $10K when I can spend less round trip to Fla). Going in for a real consult made me realize that I dont have all the fat I think I do to get 1000cc which I dont think I need anymore anyway. The doctors both seemed to think that 600 would be good on me for the result I want and for the fat I have. So, although Im still in limbo, things are looking up. I feel better and I will have my surgery by the end of 2012 by any means necessary! #leggo. Special shoutout to Nicki86. She stays putting me on to new doctors and info like Dr. Anzurin. I really have benefited from her posting and commenting everywhere about everything and it has made this disappointment so much easier to bounce back from.Thank you Nicki86.

So, the verdict is in. Dr. Salama is not willing to do my surgery and take the risk of my unknown allergies flaring up during the surgery. I am beyond sad and disappointed and wish I would have NEVER mentioned it. People with severe allergies have surgery all the time and Ive never had an anaphylactic shock in my life so his logic I don't understand but I do respect his concern. I still wish I would have withheld this information or informed him in a different way that was ambiguous. Thank God I havent lost too much much money since I hadnt paid anything in full nor booked flights. At the end of the day, I know my body, I know people have anesthia with my condition and live to tell about it so I have another consultation with another doctor. This time I won't be diving into all the details about my condition, I'll take meds before as my specialist recommended and pray about it. I refuse to let this keep me from having the body of my dreams. Good luck to all you of you Team Salama ladies. I am jealous but it's not over for me. Much love to Dr. Salama.
