Hi ladies, I've been reading n searching on how to get my butt back not knowing about The BBL! Funny thing is that I had a BA last year n not once did I see or read about BBL. Let me begin by letting u all kno how I got here, as a young girl I had a big butt, n very big butt teenage years n after my first child I gained 60 lbs!! Wow! Right? Since then I've had 6 other kids. I've gone up n down in weight n I still had a butt until a few months ago after losing 30 lbs n funny thing was that it seemed like the last 15lbs I lost all my butt completely! Yet I feel fatter n look fatter in stomach area! In all the times I lost weight my butt was never a loss. So I guess it's all bcuz of age? So even tho I'm happy that I lost weight, I'm out of shape n don't even recognize the body I see in the mirror!! I feel I have lost the best part of me n I'm lost without it! I've been so sad n have complained to my husband n I've even cried feeling as if I lost a leg. I kno it may seem stupid, but that's the best way I can describe it. So after searching online I found real self n all of u beautiful ladies posting pics n expressing ur hearts n experiences, that I decided to join the sisterhood n maybe share same experience w others. I'm 41 n I feel young but my body is telling me otherwise! LOL!
So about a month ago I asked my husband if I lost my @$$ n he said no :/ ya right! I hate that he cannot b honest! I guess he thinks the outcome would b worse if he tells the truth! Lol, poor thing sometimes us women get mad no matter wut. Or at least that's my case. Anyway when he seen how depressed I was searching for a cure, he gave in right away when I asked if I could get a BBL. He is still very worried about the procedure n praying I come out of it alive n without complications!
It's amazing to kno wut we do just to feel good about ourselves. I never thought I would have to or should I say need to have surgery to get a butt after always having one!! If u see me u would think ya right! But I kid u not I had a butt like Jennifer lopez....
Well ladies after going to different consultations here in California not one has given me the the good feeling of saying yup this is the surgeon that I feel will give me the butt I had let alone give me the butt I want! LOL! I couldn't even tell the difference of before n after photos! So coming to real self n reading n looking at many of u ln ur new transformations I decided to travel to adventura Florida:) problem is that Dr. Salama is booked for jan so Cynthia asked if I would b interested in Dr. Ghurani , n I said yes bcuz I seen how great Asiangotbooty looks n most of all bcuz she felt secure n safe w him, n since he has worked w Salama I feel good about choosing him:)
Now the expenses of flight, condo, food, SX, n anything else I may need will run me around 12,000 to 13,000.... Yikes!! Hard thing is I have to pay cash! Good thing is my hubby will b getting a bonus in January w the help of God:)
My measurements right now r 41 36 42 n mainly lower tummy from having the last child:(
So ladies can anyone let me kno all the things I need to buy n any advice on garments n where to purchase them? I sure would Luv to kno that ancient Chinese secret Asiangotbooty used for bruising!:)
I will post my pics later today.

RX PREOP CBC, PT, PTT,HCG URINE, UA C&S, CMP, EKG
Clearance Letter
CBC- iThe complete blood count (CBC) is often used as a broad screening test to determine an individual's general health status. It can be used to:
Screen for a wide range of conditions and diseases
Help diagnose various conditions, such as anemia, infection, inflammation, bleeding disorder or leukemia, to name just a few
Monitor the condition and/or effectiveness of treatment after a diagnosis is established
Monitor treatment that is known to affect blood cells, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy
A CBC is a panel of tests that evaluates the three types of cells that circulate in the blood and includes the following:
Evaluation of white blood cells, the cells that are part of the body's defense system against infections and cancer and also play a role in allergies and inflammation:
White blood cell (WBC) count is a count of the total number of white blood cells in a person's sample of blood.
White blood cell differential may or may not be included as part of the panel of tests. It identifies and counts the number of the various types of white blood cells present. The five types include neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils.
Evaluation of red blood cells, the cells that transport oxygen throughout the body:
Red blood cell (RBC) count is a count of the actual number of red blood cells in a person's sample of blood.
Hemoglobin measures the amount of the oxygen-carrying protein in the blood.
Hematocrit measures the percentage of a person's blood that consists of red blood cells.
Red blood cell indices are calculations that provide information on the physical characteristics of the RBCs:
Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) is a measurement of the average size of RBCs.
Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) is a calculation of the average amount of oxygen-carrying hemoglobin inside a red blood cell.
Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) is a calculation of the average percentage of hemoglobin inside a red cell.
Red cell distribution width (RDW), which may be included in a CBC, is a calculation of the variation in the size of RBCs.
The CBC may also include reticulocyte count, which is a measurement of the absolute count or percentage of young red blood cells in blood.
Evaluation of platelets, cell fragments that are vital for normal blood clotting:
The platelet count is the number of platelets in a person's sample of blood.
Mean platelet volume (MPV) may be reported with a CBC. It is a calculation of the average size of platelets.
Platelet distribution width (PDW) may also be reported with a CBC. It is a measurement of the variation of platelet size.

HCG Urine- Pregnancy test
UA C&S -UA is urinalysis-done mainly to detect infection; includes remarks about color, appearance, and odor; tested for protein, glucose, ketones, blood and leukocytes.
C&S is culture & sensitivity -determines the presence of bacteria; this part will take 24 hours to "grow" in the lab before results are ready. That is the culture part. The sensitivity part is to determine which antibioics the bacteria is "sensitive" to so that the proper medicine can be determined for the infection.
CMP A comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) is a blood test that provides information about:
how the kidney and liver are functioning
sugar (glucose) and protein levels in the blood
the body's electrolyte and fluid balance
EKG An electrocardiogram (also called EKG or ECG) is a test that records the electrical activity of your heart through small electrode patches attached to the skin of your chest, arms, and legs. An EKG may be part of a routine physical exam or it may be used as a test for heart disease. An EKG can be used to further investigate symptoms related to heart problems.
EKGs are quick, safe, painless, and inexpensive tests that are routinely performed if a heart condition is suspected.
Your doctor uses the EKG to:
Assess your heart rhythm.
Diagnose poor blood flow to the heart muscle (ischemia).
Diagnose a heart attack.
Evaluate certain abnormalities of your heart, such as an enlarged heart.

I'm really nervous for tomorrow's massage:/ funny I wasn't at all nervous about having SX though!! Dr. Ghurani said I should take a perc b4 massage, but I think I won't. Wish me luck on that please!
I think I must of gained from last pre/op pics I posted about 6 lbs, n I might just regret that ! Anyway I'm gonna cinch as soon as I get my faja:) I didn't order one before bcuz I really just didn't kno how big I would b n didn't want to order wrong size.
I didn't bring any fitted dresses so u ladies can see how big my booty is but I will put sum yoga pants on or something:)
I've been cooking for myself since yesterday n somewhat cleaning nothing hard ! I get up from bed doing push up then lifting the caboose up to b on my knees, then scoot Lil by little w arms n knees n one leg at a time I'm off. The bed in the apartment I rented is super low, n I hated it my first 2-3 days!! U feel so much weight on ur butt that its hard to lift that sucker!! Lol...
Once I get home I will b squeezing lots of lemon w warm water first thing in the morning to help clean my liver from all these toxins we get put into our bodies n poor liver suffers from this making it harder for our bodies!! This will flush the toxins out n helps w pooping as well! I'm doing fine w that though. I hate it though bcuz ur butt cheeks r so tight that the poop gets stuck inbetween. Eww I know right!!! It's also clayish. Yuck! Funny bcuz my wipes kept getting stuck n ripping! Not funny at the time though!
Ladies I want to add that u may go thru different emotions n thinking y did u even do this! I'm not gonna lie first few days may b very very difficult! From feeling super heavy to feeling nauseous to feeling fat n swollen to not even caring about wut ur Butt or waist looks like! All u want to do is feel better!! But as soon as ur feeling better I will once again feel like before ! N that's happy n obsessed w ur booty! Lol! I haven't felt that way about my booty yet bcuz I want to b real w myself n waiting for end results! I'm also a waiting to see how my tummy n skin turns out w that!! See I wanted my body sculpted just as much as the Booty!! This has absolutely nothing to do w Ghurani at all! I HVE very thin skin. Dr Ghurani says I'm gonna look great!
Dr Rami is such a down to earth n caring man! I Luv his personality on top of his professionalism ! I kno for a fact that I made the best choice next to Salama!! Dr. Ghurani has actually been a PS longer than Salama, n they went to medical school together. I Luv how much he cares for his patients! He is also very respectful w others! Not just a pretender to the patient. The nurse was late n my husband n daughter were waiting in front of office for about 20 min n he felt bad for us, but when the nurse called to apologize bcuz she thought she had to b there at a later time, he didn't tell her off he told her in Spanish not to worry but to plz hurry n he greeted her nicely when she arrived. She was so so sorry n kept apologizing to me! I will go more into detail of how it went b4 SX n to the moment they had me count b4 I was out, tomorrow.
Oh n I want u to plz notice my b4 pics that my lower tummy kind of sags especially when facing to the left. That is the most of my concern right now. I will soon b putting msm cream n take msm that also helps heal ur skin tissue back together!

I've been cutting down on pain Advil's down to 2 every 5 or 6 hrs. This morning I ate yogurt w fruit n sliced almonds;) anyway I needed something in my stomach, but soon after I had to poop:/ so actually I'm very glad I did bcuz I wouldn't want to HVE to go over there!! I took 3 Advil n put arnica gel all over my tummy n back n I've also been putting it on my Booty for bruising n the fact that it hurts from feeling like its blowing up like a balloon!!
So I arrive at Elite they call me in Celia tells me to take off everything n get on massage table face down, she then put a cold gel on my back n I'm assuming it was se type of ultra violet heating rubbing it on my back like ultra sound when ur pregnant going side to side n up n down n circular motion for about 5-10 min then she got baby oil n rubbed it in my feet calves n thighs which felt great!!! N I told her that n I also said but I kno the next part won't b easy! She said no mamita it's not gonna feel good. But in a calm voice. Soon after she got baby oil again b put on my back then she rubbed my down from shoulders down to ur crack where one drain is, she did this on all areas of my back . it wasnt too bAd .
Then she told me to get on my left side but to get on all 4's first so I did , then she put a poppy pillow to lay side hip n another poppy pillow for my head. Ok this was first time I mated on my side. It didn't hurt but I didn't feel comfortable either. Then she got oil again n now rubbed the right side of me and stomach n let me say some areas felt good n then all of a sudden she hit the spot of flank n it burned n hurt!! N I grunted n started to breathe like when ur in labor. I ended up getting a Lil sweaty n I usually don't swear. Lol, so anyway I think or it felt like she did that for 10-15 min then other side. I can't really say how long bcuz when ur hurting it seems longer!! Lol... Soon she was finally done n I was like ok on a scale from 1-10 it was about a 5 on just certain areas that she said I had way too much fluid build up then she told me to do certain yoga stretches n she had me do them on massage table which I can only imagine how funny that looked!!! She had it was very important to stretch to heal faster.
Finally she got me into a large garment n said as soon as u get home cut slits on sides bcuz u HVE very Big Booty!! ;) so I did:) I'm having an issue w it being too tight on crack area n I'm afraid of getting a blister !!! I walk as much as I can but I'm not right now bcuz it is bothering me in the crack area:(( I will call office n see wut I can do.
If u HVE any questions ladies feel free to ask:) I will try to get better poses but like I said I didn't bring fitted clothing n it's hard to see full affect of the Big CaBoose!

Ok so Monday when I went for massage Celia who is obviously superwoman, put me a L garment from a 3X!!!!! Omg!!!! Shoot no wonder my booty was sticking out even further, it was being extremely pushed out n the thong part was killing my crack!! Lol!! I did not kno I was in a 3x! I will explain :
Dr. Rami called me that evening n asked how my massage went n I told him I only took 3 Advil 's n I put arnica gel on my entire torso n he then asked How did I feel w that, I said there were a few times I grunted n I was breathing like when I gave birth to my babies;) n all Celia kept saying was yes breathe! Lol... Rami n I were on the phone for a very long time!!! Almost an hr;) he explained so much of wut he did n so anyway when I told him they put me in a L garment he was stunned n said but u were a 3X my dear ! N I was like WUT? N he seemed concerned bcuz he said sometimes it can cause skin problems when u go too tight too fast! So he asked if I felt pain could I breathe did I feel short of breath or if my heart was palpitating fast , it was a no to all but I said I don't mind the tightness it's my crack that's killing me, he chuckled n I said well u kno I HVE a long crack n I feel this garment is for a shorter person n it is really hurting me badly!!! So he said cut n do wut I must or I'd rather u take it off n put the other one on bcuz I don't want something to happen. So w that being said as soon as I got off the phone I asked my daughter to help me take it off. Omg we struggled n struggled n struggled so much that we both worked up a sweat n almost cut it off!! It waste mission impossible!!! Finally w all my force n daughter we finally got it down squeezing the heck out if my butt!!! This didn't feel good n made me wonder if I should of just cut it off! Did I kill my fat cells?? It was worse than sitting I think!
Yesterday I went in to see him n I told him wut I went thru n he was like wow! I said well I'm just amazed on how Celia was able to pretty much get it on by herself!! She's super strong!!! Rami was in amazement, bcuz he was struggling putting on my 2xl garment! Lol!
Ok ladies I HVE to get ready for massage today I will post again later;) xoxo
Hello ladies sorry that I haven't updated u all in...

I'm still in a 2x garment but by Monday I will try my L garment :) Dr rami is very cautious w his patients n says no matter wut my waist will go down . He is very impressed w my tummy. Says its retracting better than he anticipated. Remember he said I may need a tummy tuck . Now he is having second thoughts;) he is happy about that.
Ok so lets talk taking out drains. Back drain didn't feel much just a tiny pinch.
Front drain it was a little different it hurt a tad bit but also felt weird as I felt the tube going from left side of lower tummy to right as he took it out. I was so relieved he took it out bcuz I didn't think he was going to. I thought I had to travel back w it on.
Celia said I have a very projected Booty;) she said she loves how it came out! That put a smile on my face n I told her thank u! She is really good at her job n I also like her personality;) I think she opened up a Lil more once I started speaking to her in Spanish. Eileen or not sure how she spells her name came to me yesterday bcuz there was a mix up n they didn't HVE me scheduled when I went in! So she also did a great job;) she had to do my tummy standing up bcuz I didn't HVE a boppy, it wasn't too bad.
My overall experience w dr. N staff have been absolutely wonderful! I Luv the way they made feel! Like if I was a part of their family! Pain wise I can't say I would do it again hands down. First couple of days were a 9 on scale, maybe even 10 when I felt like throwing up! Once again I never took any percocets or nausea meds. Perhaps that's y I rate it a Lil higher in pain. I'm a strong person n can handle pain though but I'm admitting those first two days were hard.
Now just packing n getting ready to go home n see my babies;)))) u miss them all!
Of any of u HVE any questions let me kno. U guys HVE been a great support!!! It truly helps when we hear it from person experience!
I'm truly sorry that I have not posted enough pics...

Top to bottom butt cheek 131/2 " both sides
Left to right 26"
I have always done this ..,, lol.... Bcuz sometimes our lower tummy n hips r includes in butt size but I want to kno wut my butt actually is not just good n lower tummy!
Anyway I found a great masseuse' yay! But let me say I woke up extremely sore!! Last night I kept waking up even more stiff than first couple of days :( so I had to take Advil n I felt so much better;) weight wise I'm about 5 or 6 lbs heavier.
Only two things I'm unhappy with n it's not bcuz of dr..... The look of my tummy bcuz there r even more stretch marks than I recall! Lol!!! I guess since the area is smaller the stretch marks r more noticeable;( but lets see how the healing process continues.....
Second thing is my upper body... Some of us latina's Have big arms or broad shoulders... So I guess once I'm able I will work the upper n lower body!!
I think that's about it for now:)

Girls it sometimes becomes overwhelming, bcuz a couple of times I have been hd asleep bumping in to things until I realize omg I can't believe I'm going thru this! Oh n today I was so sleepy still that when I got up to go per which is also every time I get up (every 2 hrs) I dropped my pee bottle in the toilet !! Lol!! ..... Ya wut a way to wake up n snap out of it right?
In the morning around 5:30 I tend to just stay up bcuz kids get up between 5:45 n 6 am, so get them up then I will make a cup of warm water w squeezed lemon... Or Add honey too ... Unbelievable benefits!!! Plz look it up;)
Along w the vitamins we have read on here to take I also take magnesium, biotin, primrose oil, borage oil, msm, and psyllium husk.... All of these help our bodies. Idk if any of u have noticed hair loss. The anesthesia causes so many side affects n hair loss is one of them. I was shedding like a dog right after SX biotin n B complex helps that along w skin nails bones brain nerves..... If u HVE time plz look up each mineral n vitamin I HVE listed n see how they help our bodies;)
Other than my new sleeping habits n not being able sit oh n the new way of peeing in a bottle, I'm healing nicely n feeling pretty Good! In my opinion going the healthier way has helped speed up healing process.... Oh I already feel my Booty softer in certain areas and even a Lil jiggle;)
I forgot to add my measurements: Waist is now...

Waist is now 31 1/2
Hips n Booty 46
The other day I measured n hips were 45 1/2 n today 46 so not sure wut happened there.... But I'm ok w that! Lol ....
Swelling continues to go down but like Dr Ghurani told me, he put 1400cc's in each cheek so I won't HVE much loss:) lets pray this stays!!!! Once again I didn't add hips bcuz I have my own n I was trying to regain my original shape, in order not to make it look too obvious. Although I'm sure my waist line would look tiny if I would of added hips:)
I haven't really gone anywhere to notice if anyone checks me out, lol.... But

Just wanted to update u on how I'm healing. I have noticed that my Booty is jiggling as I walk;) I wasn't expecting that to happen so soon. Idk when ur booty starts to soften up but the top n around the booty r softening. I want it to soften but I hope it doesn't get wobbly if u kno wut I mean. I walk every 2-3 hrs about 10 min... Especially at night when I wake up stiff n feeling like some heavy person is sitting on the end of my back! Ugh! This truly can b very bothersome! Anyhow I walk n after about 4 min u can feel the tension n stiffness ease off n then ur walking normal again;) as sleepy as I may b I continue to walk until I hit 10 min n I go back to bed.
Ladies my arms r starting to tone up! Yay!! All the push ups from laying down on my tummy is starting to benefit my biceps;) lol!!
The Booty is still holding on to 46"
Waist is down to 30 1/2
Waiting to get my cincher to get this waist down! I'm really praying the booty stays at this measurement!!
My tummy is looking sooo much better! I will b posting b4 n now pics on Wednesday which will b my 3 wk post op anniversary....
I'm taking all my vitamins n I'm putting on the heating throw at least 2x a day n I'm massaging myself when I take my garment off w vitamin E oil/aloe Vera n it seems to b leaving my skin soft n alive! The color of my skin on my tummy is going back to normal;) after SX it was looking very dark. Like purplish red n dark tones.... Swelling on vajayay has gone down extremely, bcuz it was looking very abnormal!!!! I was very worried w the huge lumps on upper pubic area O__O !!!
My diet chicken, beef, eggs, yogurt, fruit, veggies, n a snack here n there..... Meaning ice cream or oatmeal cookie peanut butter..... Very limited on snacks.... Lots n lots of water!! I'm big on water! Oh n my warm water w fresh squeezed lemon in the morning on empty stomach:)
I'm no spring chicken so I think I'm healing pretty fast n nicely considering I'm 41!
If u HVE any questions feel free to Ask me;)) God Bless u Always!
I wanted to wait till Wednesday to post pics but I...
