WORTH IT$7,299
Today makes 8 weeks since my bbl surgery!! I'm so excited because at this point I no longer have to wear my garment, board, or foam! I did buy a waist cincher, but the size medium I bought is too big so I'll need to order a small I think. I followed their size chart, but it's just not tight enough. Also, i don't like the way it bunches up in the front. This might have something to do with it being too big, I don't know.
On another note, I've had several people ask me about my arms and my axillary lipo. I'm very satisfied with both. My arms are smaller and I'm able to wear the tops that I couldn't wear before because my arms used to fit so tight in the sleeves. Also, the axillary lipo has pretty much eliminated the little ball of fat that used to gather between my chest and my arm right near the armpit. The right side is not as smooth as the left, but it's still a big improvement from what it used to be. The left side is completely smooth though. I tried to post some pics of it, but I wasn't able to. I think they were too big to post, so I'm going to have to make them smaller and then try to repost them again.
For now, I'm going to post a couple of new pics. I think these were taken last week, week 7. At week 8, I don't think I've changed much so these pics are accurate of what I look like right now.

Only three weeks left as far as my 8 week recovery...
Ms_New_BootyJune 26, 2012
Only three weeks left as far as my 8 week recovery is concerned and only 1 more week of wearing my sleeves garment!! I'm so happy about getting rid of that for good!! I have noticed a change in the size of my arms after lipo so for me I feel it was worth it. I'm still going to work on toning them more in the gym but having some of that fat gone will make my job a lot easier.
Also, I'm thinking it's time for me to order a waist cincher since I plan on wearing that after my 8 weeks in the full garment are up. Any suggestions on what type I should buy?
Other than that still dealing with some burning and sensitivity to the skin on my lower back/lower abs. Scars are beginning to fade (I've been using Mederma) and my body is still changing. I measured myself again last week and I lost another inch around my waist bringing it down to 28 and gained 1/2 inch around my butt making that 44 1/2.

wth, you lost around your waist and gained around your butt? Wow, thats crazy! I just hope that when its my turn my butt looks natural and not to big because then I have to deal with my crazy family and their jokes. You still look good though.

Hi Ms new Booty,
I was wondering, is the boppy pillow a pillow for kids because when I look online it shows a pillow for breastfeeding not for adults. Does Salamas office give you a pillow to sit with? Thanks

I asked Nancy about the boppy yesterday, and yes, it is the one that is used for nursing/baby.
June 27, 2012
It's actually a pillow used for breastfeeding, but Dr. Salama gives it to his girls to sit on. We also use it underneath our butts when we get our lymphatic massages.
June 27, 2012
oh ok,
Thanks, so he gives one to everyone. Im glad cause i thought i had to buy it.

Thank you Foreverbooty, Are you getting yours online? I bet someone that knew how to sew could make one. See ya later.
June 27, 2012
Oh nooooooooooo lol my dates 12/10, and I got mine last Friday for like $5 bums at a thrift store, looks new too! Haha
But I not found it there, I'd would have just gone to a kids consignment store or target or someplace. You figure your only sitting on it, and with kicking out so much money, have to catch a break where you can. Btw they're roughly $26-30 brand new.

Foreverbooty,
Yeah that's crazy expensive for a pillow. It's like the shape of the letter C right? How the heck are you supposed to use it?

Hi foreverbooty,
I was wondering how long it took you to get replies from Dr Salamas office. I emailed two days ago, called yesterday and again today to schedule surgery. I just worried because I don't want to get a date thats even later than February and as time goes by the dates and price change.

Hello, when I initially called I spoke to Nancy, and basically scheduled my appointment all in two calls within half an hour. And when I called to follow and see if she had received my pics via email, it took her like a day to return my call, but if I were you, I would call, call, call, and tell them that I know that they book rapidly, and I absolutely like NEED to schedule a February appointment. Good look girlie

Im half way through my garment prison sentence and...
Ms_New_BootyJune 17, 2012
Im half way through my garment prison sentence and I can wait for freedom!! I only have 2 weeks left to wear the vest with sleeves, so I have that to look forward to first. Recovery is going well but my body is tired, tired of always being in the same position. My lower back hurts from me propping myself up on my elbows when I'm laying on the couch and my neck hurts in the mornings from sleeping on my stomach with my head turned to the side. Also, it's hard dressing for work because I have to wear something with 3/4 sleeves/long sleeves in order to hide my garment sleeves and something long enough to hide the knee length garment. I prefer wearing pants but only 2 of my work slacks fit me. And by fit I mean, they fit my butt. The waist fits really big. Oh yeah and on top of it all, I have to wear a loose enough fitting top to hide the board and foam... Mostly the board though. It really shows throuh more fitted clothing.
I have two more massages left and I'll be done with all 10 sessions recommended by Dr. Salama. I have one scheduled for Monday and the last for Thursday. Having the massages has really helped me with my recovery. I was able to naturally eliminate the fluid buildup that I developed on the flight home and haven't had any other reoccurrences (knock on wood). The massages have also helped soften the hard spots on my stomach. There are still some hard spots, but it's getting softer and softer every day.
On a personal note, I'm having out of town guests next week and I'm a little bit nervous because they don't know about my procedure. I know they're expecting me to be their tour guide around the island, but I can't sit, and can't do the water/beach activities with them so I'm not sure how it's gonna go. I want them to have a good time and I'll try my best to be a good hostess, but I'm very nervous and a little afraid. I'll let you gals know how that turns out.

June 18, 2012
I'm still not sure how I feel about the arm lipo, meaning Im not sure if it was worth it or not. I'll definitely post some arm pics next time though.
June 17, 2012
also can you show us the board and foam please
June 17, 2012
hey girl, glad that everything is going so well, quick quesiton, how do you lay when they are doing the massage?
June 18, 2012
When he's massaging my stomach I lay on my back on top of bed pillows and my Boppy positioned under my butt for support.
June 17, 2012
What island and btw u look awesome. Why are u still sleeping on tummy? I thought u could sit or sleep on your butt after 2-3 weeks? How long have u had to wear the garment and how many did u have?
June 18, 2012
I live in Hawaii on the island of Oahu. You are not supposed to sit for at least 8 weeks, but you can start sitting for 15 minutes at a time after 2-3 weeks. Even then it should only be when you absolutely have to. The full garment I have to wear for 8 weeks and the vest with sleeves (used for arm lipo) has to be worn for 6 weeks. I have 2 garments.

You look awesome. I can't wait for my 8 week check in in 5 weeks. I am hoping my results are just as nice. I don't have 1500 though :-) You look great! Thanks for sharing with pictures!
