Anyone interested in the air mattress can go to ( bunkbedstogo.com ) and and go under air mattress,check it out.

I will up date later but just to let everyone know that this aint no joke.... i had BBL and Breast Aug. & Liop of inner & outer thighs. Having several procedures done @ 1 time is very hard. today is the first day that im able 2 sleep and move around. when they say the first 3-5 days are hell, believe me they are.i could not eat or take any med for the first 40 hrs after surgery because i had nasuea and could not keep anything down. no pain meds noantibiotics no nothing. and thats was pain pain pain. the doctor called in some supositories for the nausea & i have been through 3 different pain meds to find something that works. and i still have pain. i know im all over the place right now ut just wanted to get some pics up and give a short update. till later

Dont know how many ccs i got he said between 800-900 and the breast aug / Lift was a silicon gel either 375 or 400 implant. i told him 2 do which ever he though would look better.

10 days since surgery & lastnight felt like my first night. Still very swollen and my private area is very hardddddd & swollen. Very uncomfortable & hurts bad. My hips feel raw from sleeping on them and I'm @ the point where I want 2 screammmmmmmmmmmmm !everyone is different but I had a rough time & yes still on pain meds. I take every 5hrs during day and @ night I take 1 1/2 every 4hrs. Sleep what is that? I sleep maybe 5 to 6 hrs within a 24 hr day. 1 hr here 30min there. I can't sleep. And I'm taking sleeping pills from Dr. & benadryl. Can someone tell me when swelling will go down and be able 2 sleep?

Yesterday made 3 weeks and i have been going through it ! pain, stiffness, very uncomfortable. my body hurts with that garment and it leaves markings on my stomach so i dont wear it. i just wear a body shaper i got from walmart. its soft and helps for now until the numbness and hurting of my back and stomach goes away. i have been sitting on my butt since i got this done with the boppy pillow. i been in so much pain i didnt care. i also wanted to loose some cause it was way to BIGGGGGG 1300 ccs WHATTTTTTTTT ! hell no. it has got smaller and in liking it now. i can put on my old sweat pants and it fills them in very well. i would not ever do this again. its not the breast or vthe butt. THE LIPO is CRAZYYYYYYY. thanks to everyone for all the info and advise and i will update when i feel a little better. and cupcakes11 is doing good!

I want to also thank GETABOOTY for being a friend and helping me out while i went through this trying time. girlllll glad u and cupcakes11 where there because if not , i dont know what i would have done. Thank You GETABOOTY..... and hope to see u in MIAMI for our reunion 10 weeks. this time we can have some funnnnnn

Hello everyone, tommorow will be 7 weeks since my breasst aug & bbl. Girlzzzzzz im not good with pain. i have been having a rough time. im stilll very sore and this lipo crap is the worst ever. my breast is sstill swollen from what nomie says but if they dont get together by june theres going to be a visit to Miami. i nipple is very swollen and sticking out very bad& the other breast is bigger. vey ugly and u can see the nipple sticking out if the bra through my clothes. Yea a simple breast Aug turned into SHIT! and my Butt the fat did not last. i wore a size 7 jeans and right now i cant zipper them but thats only because of the swelling in my stomach and back still. my under clothes fit much better though. so its a tad bit bigger but not as god as i would have liked it. its soft and there could have been more on top. i will post some pics soon. im going to go fro a round 2 of bbl next year to get it right but not with salama. and i hope he does not have to fix my breast. Thank Everyone Yea for $ 10,000 i should be the BOMB !!!! but its nOt. OH and he did a breast Aug with Lift

I want to see anyone of U sit down for the 10 days that u are in Aventura without a Boppy Pillow and for more than 5 min.....
Your tired and sore so all u want to do is sleep and when your up your walking trying to get rid of the stiffness.
Yea i know u CANT And Wont. exactly and neither did I. i sat on the boppy Pillow maybe 2wice at Dr. office with the Boppy Pillow for maybe for 2 min waiting on him and he does tell u that u can sit on it but not for a long time.
I started sitting more when i got home maybe 3 times a day for 5 min or so but get your info right cause u are allowed to do so.

I don't think getting a breast Aug. And bbl...

I don't think getting a breast Aug. And bbl together is a smart idea. If u think about it how can u lay on ur side without laying on ur butt. Yea . I'm going to see Dr salamander next month about my breast they want to see me ASAP. Jolie said it could be something they can fix under general anastesia. Nottt.... 1 is bigger than other. And I areola IA bigger than other and 1 is pointy as if there is fat or tissue under it. And I have 2 wear 2 shirts so it wont poke through. My shirts and mind u its been 88deg in FL. Well. I Dec have trouble get them both fixed. More time and money and pain. It sucks. My butt is fine will do a round, 2 next year cause my projection is not good from sleeping on sides.

Just left Dr. Salama office this past weekend and...

Just left Dr. Salama office this past weekend and I will be going back in two weeks to let him fix my breast. he stated that there is breast tissue under the areola/nipple area that needs to be removed and that my right areola needs to be smaller and it sometimes gets that way because of the weight of the implants. He reassured me that its a simple procedure and if i wanted to do it with local. Hellllll Noooooo. so he is going to put me to sleep :) Pray for my recovery and my breast.

Well feeling 1,000 times better. I still have a...

Well feeling 1,000 times better. I still have a little of that ugly feeling on my waist and stomach but other than that its all good. My butt size is good but from the weight of the butt i now have two creases under my butt. the Dr said it from the weight of it. so he needs to lipo the back of legs and inner thighs again. once he does that i will be 100% happy with the lower half of my body. my boobs he will fix this summer and the legs i will do sometime in Jan or Feb of 2013. This has been a hard road for me, everybodys body is different and my body did not take this surgey lightly ;) but thanks to all who was supportive and I wish you ALL a healthy recovery ... And beautiful body.... We are all WOMEN who are looking for the same thing CHANGE !!!!!!!!! and BEAUTY !!!! we should be supportive of eachother no matter what because were all at one time or another going to go through this surgery. and some will experience a better recovery than others.... I can say that I Look Better than I did and sometimes it takes more than 1 round to get everything we want to accomplish. i tried to do it all at once and i personally dont think thats the way to go. Thanks to all and have a safe recovery

Glad to see a lot of girls on here with great results but there is a lot going for a second round. I think the fist time will never be perfect but the 2nd time around is much better. I have issues with swelling under my nipple and creases under my butt and going to get that stuff fixed soon. but I'm glad to see that everyone is Happy and no serious issues at hand. Good Luck To all and just remember that these surgeries are not to be taken lightly.

Hey i remember u. Just curious about ur decision for dr markmann. He is amazing. If u dont mind would u share his feedback in regards to your revision or second round? What needs to be fixed and etc? Also have u maintained volume fro. The first round and/or lost more?
Petitemami 21 Jan 2013

Man that BBL is fantastic looking! Sorry to hear about your troubles and complications, that is very unfortunate, and I hope there can be a resolution.

Just wanted to update, the 22nd will be 7months and im having some eal issues with my breast. i will not post pic's because there so ugly and two different sizes and the scaring is ugly. 1 of the nipples poke out the areola part has tissue under it and i have to wear 2 tight sport bras to hold it in so it wont show through my shirt. my lipo and bbl is fine except for under my butt i have 2 creases for some reason. and i also never got my $ 400.00 back from them for my outer thighs that he did not do. they wont return e-mails or phone calls.
MsDiva2U 2 Sep 2012
Can you send pics of the creases? I hope everything else works out for you.

Sorry to hear about your boobs result. How does your booty look now? As well as stomach? I know you're not happy with boobs, but after all this pain, would you say bbl was worth it? I have mine scheduled in 2 months, but I'm still contemplating. Any advice?
Eve1982 16 Nov 2012
Also, after 8 months, did the size go down? I keep reading that sometimes it goes back to your old size within a year, and after all, it's not worth it..?
wnt2shine 27 Jun 2012
Your results are very nice just want to wish you a smoother recovery since you state it has been a hard one :( Thanks for your honesty - its true although we all hope & pray for a good recovery some of us may not be so lucky. All the best!
J Love 21 Jun 2012
Hey, congrats on your new look! You look great!! I'm not having my bbl until next, how will I survive? Keep us posted.
BodyPerfection2013 21 Jun 2012
@ nikki you are so supportive and always incouraging the ladies that is such a blessing.
Newme__2012 21 Jun 2012
you look amazing girl. your shape turned out really beautiful.
Miss.Incredible (RealFriend) 21 Jun 2012
hey girl just wanted to say that you look amazing... what were your measurements before and after surgery?
Getabooty 20 Jun 2012
Wow mama, you sure is popping. Check out that bootay!!! I just know my revision will look like that, I wish he had given me that booty instead of giving me a play booty. You got the right thang baby. Its like wow and wow and wow!
76 Love Joy 21 Jun 2012
Your so crazy..... I want to go when u go in Jan but i might have to wait till Feb or March but i will come visit u though. Play Booty :) lol.... I will call u
76 Love Joy 21 Jun 2012
It seems like when u get to that 3 month period ur but starts to fill out some. i read that ur fat cells get bigger and smaller and being that im back to narmal life and eating wrong i guess my greasy foods are going to my butt :0 but i need my legs done badddddd thoes creases are sooo ugly if u look on Dr. Markmann page it shows the areas he focus on to make sure that he is conturing the whole lower 1/2 of body. it makes sence to countour everythiong around the butt. someone who is small and has no hip fat or leg fat it fine to focus on other areas. but for someone who does have hips/ saddlebags which i still have , conturing would include thoes areas to make the butt look as good as it can. u cant just add fat to the butt and not look around the butt ;) i cant wait to go back.
Getabooty 21 Jun 2012
Yes, it fluff after 3 months but I have lost some weight too so when I get that extra 200-300 cc I should be happy at last. I will be leaving the country next week Friday but I will definately call nyu before I leave. But you look great mama.
MsDiva2U 23 Jun 2012
You are correct! It's NOT all about the booty!! I've been preaching that like forever lol! Chic u look grrrreat!!!
PrettygirlFla 20 Jun 2012
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
BodyPerfection2013 20 Jun 2012
WOW!!! This was a interesting page to read..I cant waist my time worring about what u done in what you didnt do my only concern is that you are healing well, to incourage you and to get some advice when its my turn. However Congratz on your booty because it look like it will turn many heads lol.. You look Fab!!!! Thanks for posting.
76 Love Joy 21 Jun 2012
Thank You yes i had a hard time but follow the Dr. instructions and youll br fine. everybody's body is different and reacts different to meds and surgery, i guess i was a bad case. you'll be fine..... im going to get my inner thighs done again and the back of legs and outer thighs next year. and he will fix my boobs this summer. and i will add atleast 400ccs more to the booty :0
Getabooty 5 Jun 2012
@albshop08, yes it does increase the risk for fat absorption especially on your side because I did have fat absorption on the side of my butt too, I dont know for anyone else and lovejoy had the same issue too. So when I go for my revision, I will definitely will be sleeping on my stomach so I wont have that issue again.
albshop08 5 Jun 2012
thanks so much for your reply..:) i'm so conflicted now, doing two separate surgeries is coslty takes a lot of time off from work, plus going under the anesthesia is so bad for you, considering i have done it once before..:((( the doc told me i can do both but i haven't had a face consultation with him. sorry to be a pest, but i was just wondering if laying on your side affects the shape or increases risk for it to be be absorbed? gosh this is stressing me out lol...thanks again for being so kind and answering all the questions..:)
albshop08 3 Jun 2012
hello, I have read your story and I'm very sorry about all the headache and pain you went through,..i hope it all pays off in the end. I was thinking to do both procedures at once because i want them both really bad,but reading what you went through it doesn't seem such a good idea considering the complications. How long did you stay in florida before flying home? was the recovery longer due to your BA? would you post a pic of the BA or maybe send to me. I'm only asking bc i really want to do both but if your outcome wasn't so great maybe i should do one at a time. i'm so confused now. did you have to purchase a SPECIAL mattress while you were there or when you went home? thanks so much for your time and I wish you good luck on the rest of your journey..:))
Getabooty 3 Jun 2012
@albshop08, she rarely comes on, but its not a good idea to have them both. We both did our surgery a few days apart and you cannot sleep on your stomach so the fat cannot settle right. We stayed in florida for 8 days. I am answering your questions, because she may never get to you. lol I think she had her revision about a few days ago I think. I spoke to her personally about 2 weeks ago and she said she as going for her revision. She purchased the mattress and never used it, one girl who did said it was a waste of money so I dont know. I didnt buy it.
