28, No Kids, 5'7'', 190lbs. Aventura, FL

Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I had the surgery on Monday and it was completely worth it.

As for the pain-My ass felt like it was on fire when I first woke up from surgery. The nurse gave me morphine and it felt much better. I was warm when I woke up. They wrapped me up tight in blankets and that really helped. I was also awake when they took out the catheter but didn't feel anything but a little pressure. I was really worried about pain when took out the catheter but it didn't hurt at all.

The next day, my butt hurt A LOT and I could barely walk. I doubled up on the pain killers and didn't have much pain after that--like on a scale from 1-10, pain was about a 1.5. I didn't have any nausea and no headaches. Recovery is going so well! My back and butt are pretty much numb. The real problem is the ITCHING! Oh My God. My stomach itches so badly! I've been taking Benadryl for it and it works sometimes and other times it doesn't. That [RS bleep] is torture.

I had my first massage today. Celia has the hands of an angel and she's so sweet.

I initially thought my butt was way too huge but I am still very swollen, so I'm just hoping it goes down a little but keeps the same shape. This was totally worth it. Good luck to all you ladies having upcoming surgeries!

I have arrived in Florida and I'm staying in a hotel in Ft. Lauderdale with my wonderful boyfriend who will be helping me during recovery. The big day is tomorrow. At first, I wasn't nervous at all but today, the nerves hit me like a ton of bricks! I had a mini breakdown in my head like, "[RS bleep]...wtf are you doing..."

The realization came that it is surgery after all, and all surgeries come with some risk. With that being said, I am still excited. And I will follow Dr. Salama's instructions to the letter (like I've been doing).

Please keep me in your prayers!

I am 5'7'', and my measurements are 39-36-46.

I'm having surgery on January 4th and Im soooo EXCITED!!!! Not nervous at all because im confident in my health and in Dr. Salama and i really just want to get it overwith and begin to enjoy my results.

My ass is a flat saggy mess, I have love handles and back fat. I have been fantasizing about this surgery for 3 years and I have finally built up the courage and the coin to get it done. My goal is a nice upside down heart butt. I don't like the look of a huge shelf. And I want projection and hips.

I'll add a bunch of before and after pictures on January 4th or 5th.
