I have so much to say, I am going to try and get...

WORTH IT$8,799
I have so much to say, I am going to try and get all this out. The surgery was amazing. I dont regret it one bit. I lost only about 5-6 pounds from the surgery, but Dr Salama was able to give me back my body. I had a little waist and big hips/chest for most of my life and now I have that again and it makes me feel more like me. Since surgery I am losing more weight which is good for me however I feel like maybe I am focusing too much on my looks. I care about my body- I want it to be healthy and strong. I look good. Do I want to have another surgery? Truth be told I dont need it. If I keep losing weight I will have my booty looking good again. It always looked good before and I got compliments on my figure OFTEN.

I think that gaining weight changed my perspective of myself. I felt ugly and not sexy. :( But now I feel good. I look amazing and I love myself. Would more lipo really add anything to what I have now? I am not so sure.

I have lost more weight...I am around 190 now. I am about 60 pounds over my "normal" weight still...but perhaps bigger is my new normal. Maybe I am just going to be a bit thick...for life. I look beautiful...what am I looking for???????????

I added another pic for fun. As always I am on here to help other girls, so if you have any questions feel free to ask in PM. I am better about answering those :) Regardless of what I choose- more lipo or not...I dont regret what I have done so far.

** Side note** I was finally able to get waxed this past week and it was just fine! She waxed over the scar (which is fading fast) and it didn't hurt a bit! S Also I feel totally normal. I can do everything that I did before- no pain no swelling. Sexy time is fun. Exercise is not a problem. I do have scar tissue in my abs, which sucks. I was told by a local surgeon I went to visit that my scar tissue is TOTALLY NORMAL and should fade with time. ummmmm...anything else just ask.

I choose Dr. Salama because I liked seeing his transformations. He does a great job and after seeing his patients come out with amazing bodies, I knew he was the surgeon for me. I gave him a very honest rating, and the cool thing is he can handle it. He isn't a child, and he cares about his patients! TEAM SALAMA ALL THE WAY.

what are using for scar treatment??? you look amazing
thanks :) Ummmm, I am not using anything for my scar right now. But after surgery I used paper tape for 6 weeks at least. It is cheap and works at keeping the pressure off the scar so it doesn't get thick. Worked!!
At the end of the day your body is YOUR body no one else lived in your skin do what makes you happy if you are doing the surgery for you then who cares what any one else thinks. ... We are going in a day apart maybe we can do lunch or something before we leave would love to see results in person and get advice
Sure. I am going to PM you my number and we can support each other through this thing :) Where you staying?
I am staying in a villa in Hollywood its nice 650 for 9 days andv its 2 minutes from the beach 2 bedroom sleeps 8 where are you staying
I am close to Hollywood in North Miami! Apartment with stuff within walking distance. Did I send you my number? hmmmmm let me do that.

You look good

thanks :)
Good luck your right around the corner!

Hi there ladies!!! So I am doing really well...

Hi there ladies!!! So I am doing really well over here. Just getting used to my new body and so far I love it!! My clothes fit me better and really that is such a big deal for me. I LOVE CLOTHES. One of my biggest motivators was getting into some edgy clothes- I CAN NOW. So so great. My scar (that once stood out more that Jessica Simpson at a library) is getting flatter and less wrinkled. Yay! The biggest difference is in how I feel. When you look good, you feel good. This surgery has helped my confidence and my heart is not so heavy every morning when I look in the mirror. How i feel right now is priceless...and I would do it 10 more times if I had to. WORTH IT WORTH IT WORTH IT.

Dr. Salamas presence in my recovery after my flight home has been almost nonexistent. I dont send pics, he doesn't ask. Now if this is going to bother you....go to a local surgeron!!!! There were times that it bothered me, a great deal, so I understand. But I love my results and am going back for my second procedure more prepared. I also spoke with Nomi and I am going to send a bunch of pics and questions in the beginning- and then just lean on you ladies for support after surgery. This site is INVALUABLE. I have not used it to its full potential, I dont get on here and message or pm people, I dont do much but look at results and review...but that is a mistake! I got the chance to help another TT/BBL sister on the phone and it was so rewarding. I am going to need that same support back and I trust that with God and this forum...I will get it.

Now for my BBL I am getting an apartment. Its nothing amazing, but it is only 80 dollars a night-- AND SUPER CLEAN AND BRIGHT! I love that. It is sunny and happy :) Look at airbnb ladies. LOTS OF GREAT PLACES. My sister is going to be coming down for the first few days again (what a trooper), and then my BFF is coming for rest! I am so excited to have them both with me, but I am super stocked because my BFF is going to talk to Dr Salama about getting a TT too!!!! YAAAAY GIRL!! DO IT! (she reads this site :)

I am renting a car again (any tips on that to get the best deal?!?), and our place is in North Miami very close to aventura. Last time I went to around to a bunch of places in Miami (tubes in and all) so I am hoping I get around as much this time. It will be different bc I wont be able to sit and we used a wheel chair a lot last time...oh and those scooters in stores are so much fun! hahaha

So I have uploaded a bunch of pics, and I want to hear what you girls think...I love my results from my TT (there are dog ears and minor things he is going to fix) so now I am 100% focused on my next round. I feel like I need additional lipo all over!?! I want chin, aux and inner thigh (for sure). I am 200 lbs now (and dropping- low carb all the way) and plan on being 175 for surgery. Its a crazy goal...but hey why not? So when I get to whatever weight I am going to be...I will see what I need. My back is gross, my outer thighs have dents and my arms. ohhhhhh my arms need help! What do you guys think?

Miss Mercy you look great. Yes and I feel you from the back thing :( I can't wait tosee your results from BBL..this will be fun. I'm healing great but like you from the back is not looking pretty, this flat booty gotta go!
Thanks babe. you are the only person that commented after my post op pics went up! Ouch. I guess everyone else thinks they are not good or something :/
Don't think that way... that's what I thought about when I posted pics of my butt. It's not that babe. I love your results. He did an amazing job on u. I have no complaints at all about Dr Salama. You look good and after the BBL, you're going to look great
I think u look fabs...not to mention u have crazy mad hips I'm soooo jellie !
Thanksssss :)
You've been around this long and I can't remember ever seeing a post from you Lol...your results from your tt looks amazing I can just see you after your next procedure you're gonna look good you have a nice foundation to begin with: ))
You look really good after your tt. U and Ms.Flat2FabAzz look great. I really like your guys scar and how low it is. He does a real good job. He's just an amazing PS period.. hands down. I'm wanting and needing a tt but probably not til the summer of 2014 so that way I won't have to worry about school for the kids. I have to wait a yr after the BBL but that gives me time to save up too. When is your BBL scheduled for?
March 4th- its coming up!!!
love ur results and low scar
Thanks girl!! How are you feeling?

Recently I have been imagining more what LIVING...

Recently I have been imagining more what LIVING with my new figure will be like. Can I wear a cotton jersey dress without spanx? Will it jiggle sooo much that I need to always wear some kind of compression? What if this surgery for a big booty sentences me to spanx for life?? Scarrrryyyyyy

Het Girl your TT looks gr8! How are your results now? Scar better? recovered? how long before you were able drive
Wow!! Your TT looks great! You can already see you have curves already. I bet the BBL will put the finishing touches on your bootay. I enjoyed reading your thread and will follow you through this process! I sent out my pics. Just waiting on a quote for Campos. Best wishes Ma!! Take care!
i'm in the same phase now..wondering what my life will be like after sx..I think it'll be a big weigth off my shoulders to be worry free about my body..i just wanna get it over and heal up and hit the gym and be killen them this summer..I hate spanx too ..hoping to never have to wear them again soon!
I worry about that too^^ I don't want to have to be in spanx and corsets all the time, that defeats the purpose of the surgery for me. Otherwise I might as well just buy a corset and a booty pop -__- LOOL
Also, because of how bad I look in tight clothes i.e tummy sticking out with no butt, I find it so hard to imagine ever really being able to wear a tight dress and actually look good. Its almost like, I wonder if I'm just kidding myself about ever being able to really change...I think I'm having a pessimistic day LOL
awww I think I know how you feel!
Congratulations on the new body!! when is your BBL scheduled? check your inbox
Thanks girl!! i sent you a message :)
