I think you should go ahead and have the lap band surgery, lose that weight first and then have the bbl. I think if you do things in that order you will come out with the body you really want. The lap band surgery will cause you to eat less cause you will fill full so the weight will drop off quick and it helps you from gaining weight in the future. I personally feel like if you go on a strict diet now right before the bbl, you will more than likely gain that weight right back once you come off the diet and have had the procedure which won't leave you with the results you want...
Well said! Some people are so mean spirited. The whole point of a blog is to share your PERSONAL opinion and experiences. I will never understand why some people get so offended when a person expresses their opinion or experience with a doctor. It was rude of Dr. J to not show up for the appt if you were told you were going to meet with him. His office should have called to inform you that he couldn't make it. And if you aren't comfy going to any particular doctor, it's your body, your money, your business.... You are great, open and honest for having the courage to post your before pics in the first place! Happy New Year and God bless! Good luck on your new body! And ignore comments like that. Most people on the site are not mean spirited.
I had my procedure done on Sept 5th and my butt is still hard. Salama did my procedure too. Both my butt cheeks are still hard except on the very top and bottom and near the crack. So basically the centers of both my cheeks where the most fat was inserted is still hard. One of my cheeks has a hard lump that isn't visible with the eye, but when you touch it you can feel it. Im pretty sure it is fat necrosis. The hardness of my butt was bothering me so I got examined by Dr. Markmann, since he lives close to my house (I chose Salama over him because Dr. Markmann charges too much in my opinion, but now that my ass is hard, I would pay his ridiculous price for it to be soft lol)..... He said that at 3 months, your butt should really be soft and if you have hardness, it is more than likely fat necrosis, dead tissue or scar tissue. The good thing is that I don't have an infection, but it sucks because overall, my body looks great, but my butt doesn't feel natural. Im in the same boat as you and am just waiting for everything to soften, which could take up to a year if things aren't soft at the 3-month mark....
I agree with beautyandbooty... Dr Salama has far more reviews than the other doctors so you get to see more positive and negative reviews.... I will say that I think Dr. Salama does his best work with small and medium size patients. In my opinion, when patients tend to have a larger frame, he doesn't produce the same results. I am a fan of Salama's work.
