Hello ladies,
Its been awhile since ive posted. so far i am 1 week shy of my 3 month mark. I give props to my doctor for STARTING me off in the right direction BUT i think a round 2 is in order to get what im looking for. So with that said Im going to go out the country. i spent a grip once I don't want to do it again(even tho it will probably be around the same amount after everything is said and done)

MY DOCTOR LIST
1.DURAN
2.YILY
3.CAMPOS
4.PANTAJO

im watching the blogs trying to figure out whos the hottest! if anybody has gotten there surgery from one of the docs pls hit me up and HELP!!!

My question is recovery homes! How are you finding out where to stay and how long are you staying for? Do you bring someone with you or just go alone? Im looking to go in January 2014 so that will make a complete year post op. I figure if i start now i will get a response, quote, and the date i want. has anyone heard bad experiences about these doctors either. im all ears trying to plan accordingly. Thx!!

I looked at ur pics he did a great job. I'm actually booked for surgery on April 11 ....I'm excited... I honestly think you need a round 2....All you have to do is get a pull up bar and where the waist garment while trying to lift ur. Work in the arch in ur back. Ur a black woman we have nice arch..... And waist train.
April 17, 2013
Hey krazyray42. I went to Lalla also. I feel as if he rushed my procedure, should have done a lot more lipo and definitely should have made my butt much bigger. I showed him a picture and he did what he wanted. I see improvement but for $6500 i wanted to see DAMN! I was 144 going in surgery so i wasnt a big girl. I was thinking of round 2 but not with him. Im pissed that i wasted money. Did u tell him about your concerns with the lipo? Did he offer a round 2? Is he trying to charge for a round 2?
April 18, 2013
hey lady. i didn't feel as if he rushed but i do feel u on the more lipo and bigger butt deal! i paid 7050 when i went! like u i c an improvement but i feel that was a good START, but im ready to have a nice finish lol. i was 190...and i still am smh! i told him about my concerns and he said to wait the full 6 months. im 3 months and i feel im gonna c the most of the procedure now. i haven't really really been on him about round 2 b/c im not tryna do it with him. i feel if he didn't do it right the first time i don't want to wast the TIME(not money) with him again. r u looking to go again?
April 19, 2013
Yes I am looking for round 2 but not with him. I am just not totally pleased with his work and my butt still looks the same as before. So disappointed.

So far everything is working its self out smoothly...

krazyray42
So far everything is working its self out smoothly. i keep on with my massages once a week and i do feel its helping. i started going back to the gym 3 times a week and feel better and better after each work out. i wasn't a small girl when i started this so i knew there would need to be more work. the doc did his part and now i'm trying to finish it up :^) im going on vacay for 2 weeks to New Orleans and im kinda scared wit all that good food they have down there. Im going to try to be good cuz i dont want to mess up my improvement thus far.

went for my 6 week doc appt and he said things are looking good. i did ask about a round 2 and of course they said give it 6 months. im only wearing my arm garments at night now. im still wearing my vedette stomach vest and my ann chery body suit along with foams...and at night the board! im not playing any games. til next time...positive thoughts

Today was my second appt with my fabulous masseuse...

krazyray42
today was my second appt with my fabulous masseuse lol. today she added on a treatment that helps with water retention! so i started off again with 10min on the euro shake master and then after we did the cavitation treatmeant which helps burn fat. then she did a treatment to tighten and then lift the skin. after she did the lymphatic part which she uses a vaccum to help with suction of the fluids and then some light massage AND THEN she gave me the water retention treatment! shes great. i put on my garment feeling like i went down a size lol. before i left i used the bthrm twice so shes moving some type of fluids around!

anywho im feeling great each and every day. i go back and forth with how satisfied i am. i am always satisfied but some days it can be a little less because i wanted a bigger butt. but everyday i am thankful b/c it has been a change :^) a couple of girls from work have already asked me if i was losing weight and how good i look. that made me feel great of course. im officially sitting now! im one month post op so when i need to sit i just do now. at home im still staying off of it but everywhere else im back to normal. i started going back to the gym too. i want to do my part in keeping this sexy body lol. til next time...positive thoughts :^)

Why? it's natural we are our biggest critics...what ever ur not total satisfied with is in your hands now...no need for doubts just solutions to making it even more fantastic. Work outs, weight loss ect. What ever it is..it's still to early but when u get the green light make u more fabulous..it is an improvement, you can only go up from here...Blessings.....think positive!

Thanks Driven30 I needed to read that as well
March 1, 2013
thx. i know. i keep going up and down(which is normal i guess). i feel im in the middle. from what i came from to now its a big improvement BUT what i wanted to look like im not there either. so im up and down and what now. i did get the go head to start back at the gym so im going back and really trying to make what the dr did fabulous! i wasn't a skinny chick to begin with so i knew there would be more to come after the surgery. the blogs are great but when u c others with the results u want it can kinda b bitter sweet...thx again ur words r very helpful :^)
March 1, 2013

I have my first consult this Monday with Dr. lalla, I've all over the place regarding choice in Dr. But I think I've narrowed it down to Lalla because don't want to travel, but now I'm considering Salama because of consistancies with results. My family ist to far from him in Ft Lauderdale. So alot of patients are not on here with reviews for Lalla so not to much to go by until I go into office. But Norma in his office was great to talk to, she was very helpful.
March 4, 2013
yes it is a lot of info to research as far as doctors go. i know dr.lalla only has i think 4 or 5 ppl that ive come across on here :^/ im still considering round 2 but that wouldn't be for another 5 months or so. im happy with the results but want a little more done...i wasnt a skinny girl to begin with so i knew there would have to b more...im going for a check up too monday. maybe ill c ya!
