Good Afternoon Ladies I hope all is well. Today I am 12 days post op and this have definitely been a roller coaster ride. I do think i had a pretty good recovery looking back, but it was hard as hell. iv'e been putting off doing a review because i have so much to say but Goody2shoes convinced me to update. Lets Start from the day before surgery

7/16 The day before surgery I went into the office and I met Jennifer, Naomi, Ruben and Nancy. Dr. Salama has the most AMAZING TEAM!! I signed paperwork with nancy and she gave me some arnica pills and we talked and she and Ruben made me feel so comfortable with everything. I was told that I had to be at the OR at 10:15 the next morning.

7/17 Surgery Day I arrived at the OR at 10:15 with my two best friends. I didnt get called back until about 11:45 and i was getting cranky because I was hungry. I went in the bathroom and changed into my gown, compression socks, surgery undies and headed to meet with Dr. Salama. He was laughing at me because my friends and I were being silly in the waiting area and he could see us from the OR lol smh. He marked me up and i showed him the slope that i wanted in my back but other than that I did not show hom a wish pic.I asked him if he didnt like wish pics and he said its not that and i asked if it was that some people are unrealistic and he said yes. I AGREE 100%. I waked in the surgery room and was greeted by monica the OR supervisor, shes so sweet. I layed on the bed and she put my legs in thiese things that massage your legs during surgery and i wasnt nervous at any point, its crazy. I met Craig who was my nurse anesthetist. He was very sweet and I told him I wanted to be comfortable when i woke up. He told me that was the plan. He did the Iv in my hand and tolf he that he injected something and to let me know when i feel it. I was looking around about to ask what exaclty was i suppose to feel and i dont remember anything else lol. I woke up briefly and i was laying next to Dr. Salama and he asked if i was okay and i said yes and went back to sleep. The next time i woke up i was about to fall out of my wheel chair because someone didnt put the brakes on the damn thing smh. ANywhoo i was in NO PAIN whe i woke up, i felt great.

Ikr...reading your post Pretty gives me hope...I have been wanting to do this since 2002...doing research, on the fence about it...praying about it... wonder about the pain, how long will I be of work...who will help me post op etc etc. Thanks you for sharing your list, and letting us know that of course we should expect some pain I mean it surgery of course...but the way some ppl describe it makes u feel like you will need a family reunion to recover. Thank you for your Honesty and thank you for beleiving in prayer... May God continue to heal you and may u be happy and humble with your new body/booty. PS.? did you get the garment with the butt cut out...seem like the doctors would us that one with this type of surgery...and what state R U from..Im from arkansas thank...xoxox
Great news lol
Thanks so much! God is great and i believe that prayer worked better than anything! Im from Florida. I have a butt in garment and its working well i just dont want to put on a very small garment

I've been trying to update but it's been getting deleted, I'll update when I have the energy. This process is a roller coaster ride and me personally wouldnt do it all over again. Because I already had a decent body. This [RS bleep] gets real bad then it's real good again. I took my front drain out myself last night because I was in excruciating pain------ no exaggeration. I had surgery Tuesday and it's Sunday. So I'm 5 days post op

Hi Pretty, You took your own drain out??? Did you call the doctor on his personal # which they gave you? Are you ok now? I do understand this is truly an emotional ride which you don't even think about post op, but it will get easier as the days pass. I felt the same way but I would have done it again because you don't know the emotional side of it until you are there. Hope you will feel better tomorrow. You may experience swelling now big time now that that front drain is out.
Uugh yes I'm swollen and I'm feeling like I have so much fluid. Yes I called him and told him lol. Man I was about to shoot myself so I wouldn't think about the pain, this [RS bleep] is crazy. How many days post op are you? You had a tummy tuck too right? I don't know how the hell you did that. I'm okay now that it's out, thanks!!
hey girl,
you look great... hope the pain subsides...
Thanks, me too :)
Sorry to hear your not so happy with the recovery, it does get better. Prayer to you. I see you got 1200, looks good girlie. Keep us posted.
Thanks so much, im definitely looking forward to better days!! You look great by the way
