Will do a round 2 just not sure which Doctor to go to? - Aventura, FL

I came home today! The flight was long, it was just two hours but it felt like it was forever! I tried my hardest to put my eight on my arms when I had to sit. There was only the back row empty so my husband went up to the flight attendant n told her I was pregnant and feeling very ill, they quickly moved me to the back and I slept for the flight until it was time for landing.


My front drain was not ready to come out so the nurse "showed " me how to remove it but I don't remember how, plus she showed me how long it really is-gross!


When I have time I will write a full review about the surgery,staff and more!

One thing ladies: this surgery is no joke! Don't think you will wake up and feel like yourself, you will be in pain, discomfort and lack energy, its only been 9 days and I'm already asking myself "was it worth it?" Yes I'm happy with my results but the road to recovery is long!

My review (don't mind the typos I am to lazy to spell check )

We arrived in aventura Tuesday. Wednesday we went to the office, met Nancy & Cynthia, they were both very nice and both beautiful ladies. We filled out paperwork and Than i met with Dr.Salama, he tells me the risks the procedure etc..he was very kind & professional.


Than my hubby and i went to south beach for a nice dinner, I was so nervous about being put to sleep I would make comments like "our last supper". When my son called me that evening I was like no matter what mama loves you and he was like your acting like a creeper mom lol. Anyways my husband and I had a great evening.

The next morning (thurs) Monica calls and says instead of 11 your appt will be 9:30. So than Larry came and got me, I went to the O.R, Monica came and she brought my surgery clothes, I went into dr.Salamas office and he took pictures, told me not to worry about being put to sleep. Asked me what I wanted, I said I seen your work so i will just let you decide, so he said I needed hips and a bit of shelf. He was again very nice.

Than I went into the operation room met the Alex and he told me the procedure and reassured me I would be fine, then his like ok lay down- my clumsy ass almost falls off the table ( so embarrassing) he laughed and said its ok. Still telling me what he was going to do next. Than he was like your going to fall asleep soon, before I knew it I woke up in another room, cold, nauseous, feeling like I just got hit by a Mack truck! I felt terrible, the nurse was a sweetheart, I can't remember her name but she was rubbing my shoulders, bring me a cup cuz I had to puke, and telling me I was going to be ok, she said the anesthesia was very strong for my body, I told her i was scared and felt so terrible so she stayed with me the entire time! This lady was so sweet, all of Dr.Salamas staff are very good at their job but this nurse was just my rock at that moment.
She called Larry, he came to get me, my husband was outside the hotel waiting for me, my face was so swollen from the chin lipo, I couldn't look up I just saw his shoes and put my hand out, he guided me to our room, I laid down and thought " what have you done to yourself now"? My face was swollen, lips dry, eyes puffy, ass felt like it had bullets in it and so heavy, all other areas were numb and above all was nauseous like a mutha! My husband woke me up, he had made me some miso soup with rice noodles, I ate half and started crying, cuz I needed to puke but I was so out of it I felt lost, no tears were coming out lol just weeping, so I went bk to bed, woke up and had to pee, I tired using a female pee travelers thingy - ya right I peed everywhere and to make it worst most of it went on my garment! The second time I used a cup, missed again, the third time I used a cup but squeezed me legs and positioned it better! Ding ding finally made it! By now it was like 3 am, I stank! Like hospital and pee, so gross. I went to bed, but woke up every hour in pain and feeling like I was going to vomit.


The next morning Larry came and drove me and the hubby to o.r, I saw another nurse and she took off my garment to make sure everything was fine, I looked at my stomach and I was amazed! My waist was so tiny and sexy! Ahh finally something to cheer me up, not for long cuz I almost fainted, she brought me alcohol to smell and gave me a prescription for stronger nausea pills. Dr. Salama came to check on me but I was so out of it idk what he said lol.


Friday night:
My husband was like u have to eat something today, he went grocery shopping and brought me some Cuban food from a place called barrio Latino,
He was like I asked them to make the healthiest chicken they had lol, I ate grilled chicken, steamed rice, plantains,and steam broccoli - it was filling and so good , I took my pills and 1 perk and slept for a few hours.


Monday was my first massage with Eileen(?) that [RS bleep] hurt so bad! Oh and the sounds the fluids make are effing gross!

Tuesday: no appts, I started looking in the mirror more and started to really like my body.

Wednesday I had my 2nd massage with Cecila(?) and can I say she is the best! She gave me so much advice and tips, she took her time, changed my garment and overall I just loved her vibe lol
Than I saw the Dr. he told me everything look good, I told him I was pleased with my results.

Thursday: no appts

Friday: another massage and back drained was taken out. Waited at the office for 60 minutes! That was annoying. It's really annoying when u have to wait and can't sit down! The doctor (went to the o.r) said I was still draining fluids so I had to travel home with my front drain! How will I take it out?? I'm grossed out thinking about it!


Today I came home and I feel so much better just being here, using my shower etc.. Tried on my tight dresses and I'm loving my body!

My mearsuremnts: waist:30
: hips : 44
