Okay ladies haven't updated in a while and I feel like a big dummy bc I didn't take before pics..was under a lot of stress about th procedure and wasnt thinking about it, but I am gunna try to obtain my befores from the office an post on here w afters.

I just wanna start by saying I am literally amazes at my results. I am sooooo happy I went w dr salama and not another dr. He in my opinion is an ARTIST. I would one million percent recommend him to anyone . Everyone at EPS Miami was amazing and I literally have no complaints other than Larry being late and extremely busy. He was such a nice man, though and really cares about everyone so it wasn't too much of a problem. Everyone in the office would honestly bend over backwards for you and I don't know how they do it being so busy and in demand as they are. Love love love Cynthia nomie nancy Celia, didn't get to meet Ruben but have been emailing w him and he's also amazing. Absolutely love dr salama, please do not believe any negative thing you hear on here about him being too busy to give u the results u want. Yes He is the busiest man on earth and takes such pride in his work that he will give u ur dream body.

I found that I stressed wayyyy too much over this procedure and it wasn't worth stressing. This was the most pain I've ever been in in my life, but it got better every day and at 2 weeks post op I feel almost 100% bak to normal.

Pre op 5"3 1/2, 34 30 39/40, 143 lbs (tried to gain about 10 lbs)
Post op 2 weeks 34 26 45 (149 lbs, trying to keep the weight on so my fat cells don't die!!!)

My hips are huuuuge!!! The swelling has subsided an initially I was really upset bc I thought I was losing that dramatic hourglass he gave me, but it still looks ridiculously big and I honestly think I was around 48 inches hips when swollen. I have never seen my body like this.

I will do a more thorough review later, but I wanted to let u girls know to not be stressed. For those of u who have never had kids like me it was definitely a new type of pain. U will see ur skin and body looking so scary at first but everything slowly returns to normal and u have to tak care of yourself!
I would NOT let my friend go through this alone. You absolutely need someone to nurse u back to health and someone who won't complain when you need some Gatorade or your drains drained. Wheeeew this was tough. But I am definitely going back to get my inner thigh added to my butt bc I opted not to have it done and I think I would have gone Over th legal limit for lipo.

Still in my xxl original garment, added waist cincher over top for more stomach compression

Mine is Dec 13. I couldn't agree with you more, a smooth and no complication recovery. Question for you... in your packet, did it say anything about any other vitamins to take other than the iron and vitamin c? I've seen on a few that they are taking their vitamins that were on the list plus the iron and c. I'm so confused and stressing over it bcuz it was never stated nor put in my packet, oh well!!! I was just curious. Are you all packed and ready? Ha ha ha... not me. I'm such a procrastinater. Last minute, I'll get everything, I'm so bad.

December 2, 2012
Yea, it wasn't in my packet either! Just those two. I take additional supplements like zinc and vitamin a and d because my pcp recommended so. These won't interfere so I figured it's fine. But yea, Bromelain and arnica aren't mentioned on the list either but I think these are super helpful to take.
D
December 2, 2012
Yes, did you not get a sheet in your packet that says which vitamins to take? I think they may have taken it out for the recent packets bc I got mine a while ago and it has a ton if vitamins like b100 arnica zinc bioflavonoid along with the vitamin c and iron. But don't stress bc I read that nancy said the only ones u need to take are the vitamin c and iron and the rest are optional, so maybe that's why they left them out. Don't stress!!!! That is the worst thing to do. I have gotten a cosmetic procedure before and didn't take any vitamins bc they didn't tell me to. I think Salamas office just wants us to be as prepared as possible physically, but as long as u take the c and iron u will be in good shape. I've been stressing so much, but then I remembered the other day ..like I'm about to do something to improve myself and I should be so exited. It's easier to think that way then to stress!!

I am very very fair skinned and I bruise super easy so I think taking arnica two weeks before will counter act that afterwards

You are only taking 8 days off work? Do you think it's going to be enough? I was told you will need full 2 weeks. ATy job, I sit on my ass a lot..office setting, meetings, etx. I am worried I won't be able to do that after 2 weeks!!!
D
December 4, 2012
i am leaving miami on the 23rd..so i will only be there for 7 days ..but I am going to take 3 weeks total off of work. I can work from home a lot so I don't think it will be a problem, and I am going to see if I can get my drains taken out at home because I don't wanna risk getting fluid buildup yea that is annoying that you have to sit at your job but honestly I am saying I hurt my back and that is why I can't sit if anyone asks..it is only a month really of your entire life that you'll hav to deal with not sitting so there is no possible way i am going to risk all this money pain and effort AND my new booty to sit while working!!! lol. if i were you i would say kneel during work..itll be annoyiing at first but so worth it!!

Hey girl congrats on getting a ned date. I'm also going to Salama and now I'm comteplating whether I want to add my inner thighs. I weight 138 right but I don't have much belly fat. All my fat is more in my arms and legs, I also have a semi double chin. I want to add my inner thighs but I'm not sure how it going to look. I read the skin is very delicate and may not heal as well. I also bruise very easily. But I don't want them to rub against each other. Do you think inner thigh lipo would minimize or accentuate stretch marks? Also, if you want to add all those areas I think you shouldn't try to gain a lot of weight because remember the limit. By adding all those areas Dr S may not be able to be as aggresive and you may end up not satisfied. I wanted to do my arms but I'm going to do that seperate for laser lipo to kill the fat.. Good luck

September 27, 2012
hey girlie, yea i have been contemplating for a while. what i am going to tell him (because like you, i don't have much belly fat and that is arond my weight) is to aggressively lipo my stomach and back area the most, THEN my arms (i have always hated hw my arms gain weight) and LASTLY if after he has lipo'ed all he can in those areas and cant possibly get any more fat out of my stomach adn arms, i am goign to say THEN lipo my inner thighs as a last resort. i want as much fat in my butt as possible lol.

i feel u on the bruising, i am extrmeley fair skinned (basically snow white in the winter haha) and get bruises by someone just touching me with a little force. it sucks so i know i am goign to be bruised sooooooo bad from this. but u gotta remember that its only temporary and he is the best in the business. i have full faith in salama.

October 3, 2012
Yea we can switch ... And no he never told me when it will come out but I know usually its 7 dys and that was what I worried about try should be out by 24th (everything goes well with draining) when I calculated it on t own I'm not sure how it works we will probably need to call in and give each other names to switch .... So when you get tho you can private me and we'll set it up :D

Yaay! Good for you for getting the date you wanted :-) What kind of booty do you want?

October 3, 2012
thanks i was soooooo excited but couldn't have gotten an earlier date without everyone on here...i want as big as possible!!! i have been gaining weight like crazy for this and really wanna accentuate my hips so just wnat that tiny waist and curvy hips, big lots of projection-- the whole package! go big or go home lol what about you??
M
December 2, 2012
Haha awesome. I love that look for sure, and though about requesting if for a while, but I don't think I'm confident enough to pull it off. So I want the same things you want just in smaller proportion :-) HIPS definitely!!! I'm OBSESSED with the hourglass shape. I want some projection, but no crazy shelf or nothing. and a teeny tiny waist, of course. :-) As tiny as possible.
