WORTH IT$7,200
Well ladies, its been a long time since I've been on here and want to say this overall has been a wonderful experience! and yes..I would do it all over again. The issue of being overcharged $875.00 by Dr. Salama's office...they only reimbursed me 500.00, which I'm cool with that, but I bet I will never be overcharged again, no matter how anxious I am. I FEEL GREAT ABT MY END RESULTS..IM NOW 44 INCHES IN THE BUTT, 28 INCHES IN THE WAIST, 38 INCHES BUST, weighing 173 at 5'7. I have no regrets. (just wish he couldve added some to my hips) This has changed my life completely! I feel good in my clothes and my confidence level has skyrocketed. Now when I go out I feel like I have the best shape of my life...I feel like a FINE ASS CHICK. I STILL WEAR SPANX BECAUSE I STILL NEED SUPPORT ON THE WAIST. Still have sharp pains around the waist from the lipo. My waist still itches like crazy when I take off my cincher. I've been using cocoa butter for the discolorations, want a more even skin tone.

My kids father saw me for the first time like three weeks ago and was like "damn girl, whatcha been doin" and I was like " nuthin just been workin out" He then replied "you must've been working out hard cause you look good" I was like, "thank you" I think he is trying to get back with me, hanging around and pop up visits for the kids. But hell I'm not paying any attention to him because exes are exes for a reason! He may as well leave me the hell alone.

I was thinking about going back and getting my bra roll done and a little more projection with a little hip action added. I said I wouldnt be one of those girls that wanted to get anything else done after this but it is just a thought:)

Well wishes to all the ladies upcoming procedures. 1.Take it easy dont rush back to work and take it light around the house. I am soooo happy I didnt sit for almost 4weeks. 2. Cut the butt out of of the garments w/the tightest waists as possible. 3. Brace yourselves for the first massages! This is what I wish I wouldve done. 4. Bring a true support person not someone that you may feel skeptical about taking care of you. Someone who is going to be strong and supportive, doing all that is required. (i made a good choice on that one, we just argued to damn much) No longer together but still my friend. With his jealous self. lol...OH, AND BY THE WAY...THIS WILL DESTROY A RELATIONSHIP IF YOUR MAN IS NOT CONFIDENT WITHIN HIMSELF..THIS IS THE ONLY "CON" IVE EXPERIENCED DUE TO THIS SURGERY. PLEASE BELIEVE ME, WHEN I SAY THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOOD DAY MY BBL LADIES! Ive posted pics today!

Ruben was supposed to call me back Friday last week and give info of if or when overcharge of $875 will be put back on my credit card! I tried to handle this professionally but I am going to have to make my bbl sistas aware! Sooooo watch out and pay attention. He told me that the reason that they over charge is to recoop some of the fees that the credit card deducts from them as processing fees. I advised him that I have nothing to do with that, that is between you and that credit card company. I was advised my surgery was going to be $7,200.00....NOT AN ADDTNL $875.00 ON TOP OF THE $8,075.00!!!!! BEWARE MY SISTAS, DONT BE SO EXCITED AND CAUGHT UP ON THAT DAY OF SURGERY THAT YOU GET TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF....TTYL

OK, Ladies! I AM 6 WEEKS PO and started back...

OK, Ladies! I AM 6 WEEKS PO and started back work Monday (07/16, four weeks without sitting) Practiced Sunday at restaurant to practice how it will work w/Boppy out around others and it wasn't so bad but just weird sitting (sitting lasted about an hour). First time! I'm still holding strong at 45inches on the butt (only LOST 1/2 an inch on my second week) and the only reason I think I lost that 1/2 inch is because I wore a garment that was too tight on my butt but perfect for the waist. l wish thtat I could've changed that.

HOPE I HAVE THAT FLUFF THAT EVERYONE HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT LATER. Cuz I feel like im wide and flat sometimes....but my ex says its big. I don't know what to think anymore... I could not wear my garment with all the foam and stuff under my work clothes (due to professional attire), so I only wore spanx w/a waist cincher. The swelling is worse because of this, and back very painful when trying to get up from my desk. I will also continue to wear my garment w/foam, only nightly, after my eight weeks. Oh, and I sit with a log pillow under my thighs at work, everyone thinks I have back problems and no one there knows me...brand new dept!!! So happy about that. I will post pics at eight weeks PO, cuz nothing has changed, just swelling increased a bit. Still getting massages only one this week. Two more massages next week and this will be my total of 13 massages. I will still get some after of course but really trying to stay on top of that. Any suggestions or questions, please let me know. ttyl, my bbl sistas!

I have been stalking your profile for the last 2 weeks, I know it from memory. I am 5'7 180lbs and I too have five children. I can only hope, my results are as good as yours. I am doing my best not to let my anxiety get the best of me. I leave for miami on the 31st of July and my sx in on Aug 3rd, I believe I am Dr. S 2nd patient of the day. My boyf is certain he will be up to taking good care of me so I have a good support system but I am still nervous as heck. What was the best position to sleep in? Do you recommend a urinal or will I be ok without one. Should I purchase more than one garment from Dr. S. office, or did you find a better place to purchase them from. I have sooooo many questions. Congratulations on your awesome results and any additional info you can provide that you think is pertinent please let me know

I am flattered that u have been stalking MY profile....I wouldn't have ever thought anyone would be stalking mine (i was stalking Enjoyself, she was the results that I wanted). Nervousness is apart of the territory and ok. You wouldnt be human to not to be. Just pray on it and understand you've already had your clearance that everything is good and you will do just fine. But anyways to answer your questions, the way that I slept was on my stomach at all times, even now, I slept this way prior to surgery so this is why its not so bad for me. The only problem I had was elbows became raw and muscles of arms need to be in good shape (for pushing yourself up and out of bed). So prepare yourself with pushups, if you want. You being his second patient of the day is good. I also used a male urinal due to the fact the "go girl" urine device did not work for me and the male urinal fits perfectly w/i the opening of the garment w/no leakage. I purchased an extra garment from Dr. S and if at any point in time you notice that your butt is being compressed, cut the butt out!!! This is what I did, but it was two days later after wearing the garment that was too tight and this is how I lost 1/2 an inch off of my butt. I wish I would've cut it out sooner. Please dont make this mistake, cuz I want my 1/2 an inch back. This is why I want the fluff soooo bad. Good luck with your surgery and I'm sure w/Dr. S you will have the body of your dreams:)

Hey, I was wondering does Salama have an anesthesiologist in the room while he does surgery?
