I can’t believe this site exist…….. I...
I can’t believe this site exist…….. I literally stumbled across it and now I am hooked like a CRACK HEAD…LOL Seriously, this community helped me solidify my decision to do the BBL/LIPO. I promise to update my journey on this site for 1 year after my surgery, because the information I was able to obtain from pre-post op patients was PRICELESS and I will pay it forward and maybe I will be able to help someone else!
Okay, I didn’t realize I had gained so much weight and my 5 feet frame was hovering towards 174 pounds. When I had to forward pictures to the doctor for a Skype Consultation I was mortified, but was resigned to losing weight and pushing back the original surgery date I was anticipating, which was going to be for Sept 2013. However, with this excessive weight, the doctor I finally chose advised me to lose 20-25 pounds if I wanted to achieve the maximum results. If a sister is going to pay $9,000 for a magical transformation, then she wants maximum results, thus starting my dieting and exercising journey today and I will update the pics as I lose the weight.
After ready probably 1500 reviews I found my top three doctors, which was Dr. Salzhauer in Miami, Dr. Moises, Salama in Miami and Dr. Yily who sounded like the waist snatcher and the key to my success. Also her prices were 50% less then the USA doctor’s. However, the doctor I chose was chosen firstly, because I loved 100% of the BBL/LIPO compared to Dr. Salzhauer I loved 85% and Dr. Yily I loved 100% and she snatched the fat out and again even if I threw in a Breast Lift, she was still much much cheaper then the USA doctors. However, it scared me to go to another country to have this type of surgery and the doctor’s outside of the USA didn’t seem to be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Also I read a review about someone paying doctor $2,500 and they were advised the money wasn’t received and I am sorry I am not living that type of life that if someone told me this it would be okay. So, after review of my pre op pic’s and sending 5 of my wish pic’s I was told that getting my first choice would not be an issue, but the doctor who was the only doctor that advised me of this, but he wants me to lose 20-25 pounds (I agree 110%)……DRUM ROLE PLEASE…LOL The Doctor I chose was DR. MOISES SALAMA in Miami at ELITE PLASTIC SURGERY, which I will have to travel to since I don’t live there. However, a major deciding factor was also Nancy Duque a patient coordinator at the Elite Plastic Surgery. She is professional, but the long lost friend that you can’t believe your luck to have. Nancy was truly my cheerleader and she is an angel in disguise. I am looking forward to continued correspondence with her and meeting her. She is an asset to the office and was the real determining factor of why I chose Elite and Dr. Salama. She is a people person and made me feel not like a customer, client, piece of meat or a dollar sign, but made me feel like an old friend!
Currently my surgery date is April 13, but I am trying to get something’s in order so I can have the surgery before then, but if not……date is fine therefore, I can have my body on display for the 2014 summer….lol
Again thank you Real Self Community wand I am excited about my journey and look forward to reporting back!

GYM & TRAINER
I am taking the doctor's advise seriously regarding dropping 20-25 pounds before surgery to obtain the MAXIMUM results. Obtaining a big booty isn't the issue, however, to maximize the waist since my weight is in the stomach area, requires loss of weight. Therefore, I am doing the gym thing daily just cardio and 3 days a week I have a trainer. I know April sounds far away, but I feel like I have so much weight to lose and need to have some margin for error.
Hopefully when I get on the scale and the trainer measures me, I will have lost a decent amount of weight.

WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY
Doing amazing going to the gym every day for my cardio and working out with the trainer 3 days a week on strength training legs and arms. My diet has massively changed, but it will have to be on point any way after the surgery, so, I figured I am killing 2 birds with 1 stone, because I need to drop the weight before surgery and I need to be eating more healthy to maintain the new body I will be getting. I was weighed in today and in 2 weeks I have dropped 8 pounds.....doesn't sound like a lot, but it is the beginning of my journey!

A major deciding factor chosing Elite Plastic Surgery and Dr. Salama was my positive interaction with Nancy Duque a patient coordinator at the Elite Plastic Surgery. She is professional, but the long lost friend that you can’t believe your luck to have. Nancy was truly my cheerleader and she is an angel in disguise. I am looking forward to continued correspondence with her and meeting her. She is an asset to the office and was the real determining factor of why I chose Elite and Dr. Salama.
