Ok, ladies, y'all have no idea how excited I am just to be writing this! I have been stalking (no lie) this site for about a year now, and my time has finally come. I'm scheduled for surgery on September 28th 2012. I live just north of Atlanta, Ga. and plan to fly down for the surgery. When I first found out about ther surgery, I wanted to stay local, but quickly learned that the PS you choose means EVERYTHING! I'm not trying to go for round 2, so I want it done right the FIRST time! Jimerson, Janho and Dobbs were my choices for ATL, but after seeing countless BAD reviews (or not enough reviews at all) on the three, then Salama with NONE, the choice was apparent! Salama just produces the shape I want every time. All of the ladies who have went with him look amazing, in my opinion!

I'm so excited! I feel I'm prepared thanks to all the wonderful ladies who have shared their stories on here, but I'm open to any and all advise! I want to put together a list of what I need to do before surgery, as well as must haves for surgery & post-op. I would LOVE any tips on things I should buy for post-op, or just ANYTHING that's going to make my life easier through this recovery process.

I've never been under anesthesia, or had ANY type of procedure done (no kids, either), so I am nervous about all of that. I might be alone while I'm in Miami, so I'm also interested in possibly rooming with someone. I've been looking into getting a beachfront condo instead of a hotel, and they're actually very comparable to hotel prices, some even cheaper! I just like the thought of being able to see the ocean through my recovery... I'm ALSO, interested in changing dates with anyone who has a sooner date, but needs to post pone their surgery. So excited about sharing my journey with the BBL ladiesssssss!

Shalom FabNewMe, Girl there is nooo word to desrcibe how GREAT you look!! OMG!! You look totally amazing and I so loved reading about your experience. I felt every bit of your pain and your joy while reading it. it was just like reading an adventourus book. So glad you had so much support and visitors. Hope God bleses me with the same. My husband and best friend/sister say they are going with me but we will see.

You had me laughing so much about a lot of thing. Then I cried when you described your painful massages, then cried agin of joy when hubby was waiting with flowers, dinner and nighties. OMG!!! My husband would never think of all that. I wish he was romantic like that. WOW!!

I have mine next year. No date yet cause have not paid yet. Im gonna need you and atlbabymama (I think thats her name) lol. So please stick around!! Im so proud of you and I wish you the best. Congratulations honey, you made it!! I will continue to pray for you sweetie. Peace..

AwW, sweetie thank you! I really wanted to be as honest, detailed and thorough with my review, because even though I've read countless detailed reviews, I still didn't feel prepared once I was going through it. I honestly don't know what I would've done without ATLbabymamma!! She was my support system and I'm forever greatful!! I will def be there for you when your time comes, because I know how important it is to have someone who can sincerely relate with what you're going through. Friends and family are very important through all this, but they just don't understand emotionally and mentally what you're going through. You DEF need them physically. I do NOT understand how women do it alone. But I'm here for you! Don't hesitate to ask any questions, and I can't wait for your turn!!

:-) I know, it's all so exciting! I'm in the same boat too - never had surgery before, no kids, and DEFINITELY want to be as prepared as possible. My surgery isn't until December (ughh... sooo long, but it's the best time for me to take off for work/holidays.) And I agree about having a beachfront stay. Well, I look forward to sharing this experience with you!

Also wanted to share I'm 23 (24 next month), 5'5", and 170lbs. I've gained like an extra 20 lbs in the last 6 months, which I plan on losing before surgery!
