Aye Ladies,
Im a 25 y/o mother of 1. I have been researching the BBL for months. I tried working out the gluteus maximus(booty muscle) like crazy only to see that it works but my stomach is blah looking. Here is my time for change and to be happy about my body in and out of clothes. I am using illusion clothing to look good and it works but out of the clothes I stand infront of the mirror and am not happy. Dr. Salama's office was very helpful and nice, my original quote was $6499, quoted in april, but that price is out the window so ladies if you havent put down your deposit at that quote you lost out. My new quote as of today is $6799. Not that bad of an increase but hey im locked in at that price. I am scheduled for December 3, 2012. yay me. Time to prepare for my journey. The soonest they have is November 2 ladies so jump on it if you want it that early. Dr. Salama informed me that I should gain about 10-15 more pounds. I would post before pictures but im hoestly not happy with my body so like the day before the surgery I will post the pictures. I dont want a BIGG ass just looking round, and a little out more. I have a little booty right now but the fact that my stomach is out there too, ugh. He informed me that he will be working on my abs, flanks and my upper and lower back. Im cool with that. Any and all ideas on this I am listening to. I am super excited to start.
My husband has no idea of the bbl, he only thinks...

Oh yeah ladies forgot to include. When i spoke to nancy this morning she said its a good thing i made my deposit today because prices will be going up. So even if you can only afford the deposit, get that in there asap, this way you can keep the quote they give you and they will honor that, hopefully.
Ok, so besides being obsessed with getting my new...

1.After surgery its best to wait one month before having sexual intercourse... (hubby told me to ask this one...lol)
2.If you have belly rings or tongue rings (all piercings) please remove, if not plastic jewelry is ok.
3.People that wear contacts, whether prescription or just because NO contacts the day of surgery because they inject an ointment on your eyes (so if you wear glasses bring em)
4.The type of anethesia is through injection
5.The boppy pillow and the compression socks are give to you, but its ok to buy some compression sock from walmart(as per a BBL sista) they run for under $10 for two pair

Current measurements
5'5 155 lbs
36-38-40
wth, do you see that middle number that is my gut line because I have no waist line...lol, Im like a freaking triangle.
Im HOPING for the post op measurements to be along the line of ****36- 29- 43**** (wish i could put that in bold...lol)
You know what the crazy thing is, if I gain weight it starts at my stomach then it goes everywhere else. Just like when I lose weight, but then after weight is lost there is still a pouch.
Well I spoke to my pcp and she said that I wont have to pay for bloodwork and EKG, it can be covered under my insurance.
Also for the tattooed up chicks, I only got four but going back for more, they say there is no wait time to get a new tattoo, I would wait until I stop wearing my garment, this way the tattoo can heal properly. Well latas

So ladies who are scheduled for that time or around then I would love to hear from you, and whos staying where. Im thinking of staying at the best western. I am so happy right about now so whoever want nov.13 there is an opening. until then ladies dueces
Hey ladies, Just want to inform yall on some...
- 2 Jul 2012
- 4 months pre
Just want to inform yall on some info for the surgery..
First off - People who are traveling alone and will be using a nurse- Dr.Salama office deals with Best Care, I spoke with Jackie, and she says when calliing inform them that your DrSalama pt and what your getting done(BBL)... usually girls need help for the first 48 hrs after surgery, which costs $350. Also to call them a week before surgery to get everything handled (papers).
Also with the vitamins- I asked Nancy today and she said to take Vitamin C, 1000 mg, and Iron, 325 mg.
Ladies who will be using transportation provided from the office, please get all shopping out the way before surgery so that you wont need anything later, there are only two drivers and many of us girls...
Dr.Salama gives out arnica pills so you can save about $30 there
Ladies after surgery shower with cool water, not hot, cool water increases blood circulation and skin elasticity, helping it take that new form. Wash with a loofah to help remove the surface layer of dead skin on your bodies... our bodies will be going through alot of making over help it out as much as possible.
I also want to suggest mederma for tretch marks... there is a $4 coupon on the site.
When going into surgery wear a sundress, its easy for the people on the office to put on you, remember you will be half sleep so dead weight, and them trying to put pants/sweats on you... yeah... bring with you your hotel key and some socks cause it will be cold in the operating room. Dont bring no valuables with you... if you have to leave your phone in the hotel room, rather it there then missing... i read on here a girl got her phone taken when she was in surgery... thats not cool.
Well gato cut it short got much more info to share with you ladies... but until then dueces
Will update n put my current photos in a few weeks- you aint missing much its all gut...lol
Oh yeah and my new date is August 13 - Exactly six weeks from today... yay

Do any one have a date in october that would like to move your date up August. I need to switch because the hubbys' job wont let him have off in August so we have to wait until October... :( And I have everything needed for surgery, so sad but at least it will happen this year... So all hope is not lost... **Sigh** Until another time ladies Duces

Time to educate if I can- So we have to take 325 mg of Iron per day, instead of getting the iron pills that have 65 mg of iron where you have to take 5 per day, go to amazon.com and order the poly-iron pills they give you 100 pills that are 100 mg each pill... so less pills per day(if you havent noticed Im not a pill taker...lol) So go to Amazon and look for poly-iron pills, I contacted Nancy at Dr.Salama office and she said that its ok to take these...

Oh and ladies- time for a lil education if I can, Dont book a flight too many months in advance, some of these flights are non refundable and thats cash boo..., unless you have it close by a holiday than I understand that, but if something unexpected happens then what... I know its close but Im waiting to book my stuff until I get my lab results back then I can know im in the clear. My surgery date is Oct.5 I will be looking in to get my labs done on Sept 6... No joke, Im already talking to my pcp about scheduling an appt for the ekg n bloodwork. Already got info on where im staying and the flight and all... I play no games, time to get to business... #TeamSalama Until then
Hey ladies, its been a while since ive updated so...

Im kinda worried about my skin sagging, but from what I have seen and read its suppose to get back right, n tight. I also have stretch marks on my belly, I dont know if I wanna wait until after the surgery to use the mederma stretch mark cream or should i start now. Lotions work best on skin that is being massaged so i might wait, not going to be wearing a belly shirt until next summer anyways so i got time to get rid of the stretch marks... Oh but in the mean time Im using my rose hip oil on my stomach after I get out the shower, im thinking if I should use my derma roller as well, thats suppose to help with stretch marks.
My weight is fluctuating between 158 - 162, but its cool i got time for that to stick. Im also starting to take care of my skin now so that it will be easier to manage after the surgery, better to start now than wait until after surgery. Ladies after showering, massage lotion on to your tummies so that you can increase the blood circulation and decrease the chance for saggy skin. This will tighten the skin, dont do this to your booty, you need loose skin on your booty to make sure that you can get enough cc's. Im researching now about healthy elastic skin on the booty, so it can stretch out to its new bigness.
Also I do my zumba two times a week because I want to make sure that I have energy before and after the surgery. Any kind of working out is good for your body, this way you wont feel completely weak after the surgery.
I be booty shopping(on the net looking for good pics- for what i may want), the hubby seen me and was like (wth)...lol I told him to look at some booty pics with me to tell me what he likes. I showed him what 1200 cc looks like and hes like oh yeah thats it...lol. I wanted 1100 any ways so hey just have to put on some extra weight for the bigger booty. Also the hubby suprised me and gave me the money for my trip,hotel, flight n rental, with him included. So him and the little one will be coming along. I read that traveling alone is hard because you get lonely. Im kinda glad that he's coming along with me. So I had to call Nancy and tell her that I wont need transportation, cause were gonna get a rental, thinking to get a minivan. And I wont need a nurse, hopefully because Im not sure how hubby will act around the blood.lol. Well I got the info on the flights, hotel, and the rental set but Im not paying for that until I get my clearance check and Im good to go. Other than that I am all ready to go. Im going to get a brazilian wax a few days before I go.
Do I need pillows for the car? Gonna get a towel definately.
I want to gain weight for the procedure but I dont want to gain too much weight and he cant take it all out, but I want to have enought for my 1100-1200 cc. What to do about this?
Will I need to plastic/ or extra towels to put on the bed at the hotel? or is the peepee pads ok?
Is anyone out there 5'5 that is having the surgery or had the surgery? Just trying to compare body frame and possible results.
I have a list of things to say and ask the doctor. lol. I know exactly what I want to tell him, the rest im sure he will come up with based on my body frame. Im so ready... but patient is what I will be. Until another time ladies, dueces ;)

Would also like to congratulate the recent girls/n VETS for having the strength on posting on here the day after surgery, yall are survivors...lol
Would like to let all the upcoming girls know to stay strong, dont forget why you wanted this in the first place.

I freaking lost 10 lbs but lost nothing from my stomach it was all spread out. I just took the above picture this week. But my measurements still the same.
So I did an exercise and tried to see how long I could go in one day without sitting, that lasted three hours then I was like I need to sit...lol
I'm 9 days away and I'm cool about it, I was nervous but I have had so much going on haven't had time to process it. It's the weekend (got less on my mind) it might hit me n again next weekend when I leave. My excitement is like a roller coaster. I'm more excited on the weekends..

I'm going to attempt a review standing up. I can't lay down n yep cause I get sleepy. Lol. But I got here on Sunday, me with Ruben n signed papers. Monday morning I was at the office bright n early(the first one there). It was cool tho, Dr. Salama came there n said hi n gave me my blue panties n n hat n robe. Then came the questions, what do you want? I told him natural n make them even, lol. I got my needle, the nurse said whose coming to get u, Alex said its too late she can't answer...lol I heard that n was out. So I woke up on my belly they told me my husband was there so I got wheeled out n went to the hotel. Later that night I started bleeding like crazy, I went to see Dr.S n he said my stitches came loose. So he had to redo them. I was covered in blood but Dr.S n his staff were there for me n took care of me.
One of my booty cheeks is smaller than the other, so I got 1200 in one n 1260 in the other.
Will I go through this again, no. I'm going to buy a waist clincher from the office on Friday to wear while washing the garment. My ass is heavy n hard. I have been walking n dancing, trying to be happy n take my Percocet, n arnica, n iron pills. I been walking a lot, my left eye is a bit swollen n my left foot, but I b ok. I am 2 days post op n smiling when walking past a mirror n looking at this all the ass. I stay looking at pictures that I take my waist is so tiny but I got foams so y'all can't really c it. I never had a tiny waist, until now. Damn legs getting tired, ima post later on. I took a Swiss Kris's last night n I feel like I have to go number two, but... I feel like I don't.

Special thanks to my hubby- he is my backbone doing everything I ask. Even standing behind me holding my drains while I try to go number 2. I let out two big farts, omg that was the first time that ever happened. Lol I owe him big after this.
But back to business, I slept for seven hours last night once I got comfy, nice. I woke up n was like I'm hungry, then tried to get up n was reminded of just having surgery days ago. Lol. Sharp pains in my ass as I got up. But they quickly faded. My walking is good, sleeping is good, drains need to come out, garment(a story in itself) but until u cross over I will just say ahh it's a garment it ain't no pj's.

I'm still here just going through many emotions of the after ate of surgery. It's no joke. Sleeping n waking up stiff. The garments. I have been here just been paying more attention to my results. My sweeping has gone down a lot. I'm 18 days post op and my booty is getting softer by the day. My stomach n back are both hard. My booty has went down because as the swelling went down so did my inches. I am of the few hopeful waiting for the fluff.
My measurements are 35- 32- 42, I'm hoping to fluff up to 44 inches n at least shrink my waist down to 29. Waist is still very swollen.
Oh when in Miami don't stay at the knights inn, it's the marbay hotel with a different name. While it is literally across the street from the surgery center(I walked to surgery, that's how close it was)
I also had a SUV rental, had three rows, I laid the last row down and one seat from the second row and laid in the back my entire time there.
As far as overall I'm about to hit my three week mark so I'm unsure. I want to post pics but I swollen so u won't really c anything. Otherwise my stomach is flat. ;)
I have not forgotten about the office they are all great there. The great Ruben, still texts me.
Ladies this surgery is serious and expensive n all. I thought I did my research, f the damn research. I thought sleeping on my stomach was going to b easy since I'm a stomach sleeper, it get annoying after a while. I stood for hours cooking yesterday n wanted to sit, thank goodness for my directors chair.
Ladies stretch everyday before surgery to prepare your bodies n everyday after try to stretch as it will be hard. This surgery is what u make it. I will def b back here to answer questions n so fourth if any. I will love to help. As far as my booty birthday sisters, scar girl n readysetgo, I text them everyday they are doing great as well.
