Hello all, sorry for the delay! So Im 4 months out...

WORTH IT$7,900
Hello all, sorry for the delay! So Im 4 months out...I feel good still swollen a bit in the tummy. And haven't regained all my feeling on my left side yet. Lipoed areas are soft and feel normal. The left upper part of my stomach is still very swollen. Not sure why...maybe both side don't heal at the same exact time. Any how I do like very much how my clothing fits. All my old stuff still fits me, its just looser on my waist. I haven't had to buy anything new. My butt looks a bit fuller but Im measuring the same as before surgery. Over all Im happy with the out come...but if I could go back I still would not have done it. Just my personal feelings about it! Good luck to all that are looking to do it. Word of advice don't hope to look like someone else...weather you go through with it or not if you don't love you before this...surgery wont change that!!!

Can anyone tell me when my butt will begin to shrink? Just tried on shorts from last summer and my ass looks huge. I don't like it...it's too much! And I haven't notice any shrinkage! So if anyone knows when it will begin please enlighten me. It's already begun to soften. I'm wondering if women that already had ahead start in the butt area, dose the fat stay better? Hoping that's not the case! You all are probably think I'm crazy!

How is your tt recovery so far? Was it as bad as you expected? How soon were u able to stand Up straight post op?? Do you like the results of your tt thus far?
I think everybody is different and we all respond different with that being said no amout of research could have prepared me for the reality of it. We tend to look at it in light cause we all want it so bad. Make no mistake tt surgery is a very big surgery. You dont realize how much you use you stomach muscles till you can't use em. The pain was tolerable for me but annoying. I can't say I'm 100% happy just yet, my tummy is still really swollen, the scar is super low and thin which i am pleased with. Standing up straight was hard but for about the last three days I've been straightening my back pretty good with out pain or discomfort.
That is very true! I'm glad you're doing better. I think it'll take some time to see the end results and I think you'll be pleased when it's all said and done.
you r goning to have one banging body when all that swelling go's down an i do mean one banging body
Lol thanks ...I hope your right!

Hello...how's your recovery doing!? I just booked my TT and bbl for nov..I'm nervous, any advice?

funsized ny you look GREAT!!!! your booty looks like a good size, but after its all said it done i hope you like it. Congrats!!!
I hope so too, thanks!
hey how do you feel, is the swelling almost gone, what about your butt shape are you liking it? i dont really like mine yet, i see a patern of the same butt...i hope u feel better about ur shape than i do about mine...i guess all i went thru i expected more...
I feel soo much better. Alot of the swelling has gone down...not all but alot of it. Mostly this week I noticed the difference. My stomach I'm starting to like, my butt however I don't think that will happen! It's just too big! And because that's not what i wanted I'm not happy with it. But again there's no going back...what's done is done! I'm just excepting it and moving on!

Hi ladies, I'm home they let me go yesterday w/ a Rx for antibiotics. I feel good. Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes. I just want to make clear that this in no way was something that involved any wrong doing on Dr. Salamas part. This is just one of the risks and it comes with the territory. In no way did he promise perfection. Yes it is scary but at the end of the day i did this to myself! With that being said again I'm feeling good and hoping for a smooth healing process moving forward.

I'm so sorry to hear about your infection. I really do hope you recover soon. It's sad that the doctors weren't really prepared to help you soon because you went out of state. But all that matters now is that you are healthy and get better soon! Just curious if you contacted Dr. Salamas office to let him know this happened? Maybe he could explain why?
I did contact Nomie, she wished me well and told me to keep her posted. I don't really think he could have offered any insight see how this was ine of the risks. And its kind of out if his hands with me being back at home.
Ok makes sense I know what you're saying is very true. I'm so thankful you shared the experience with us and I'm glad you are back home. Wishing that you recover soon and enjoy your results and your new body! I know it will be great after all your TT scar is so low and thin and your waist will be tiny! Best wishes
Thanks!
Have you started sitting yet if so how? Thanks
Yes i have, i use the boppy and rolled up towels. I put the towel just below my butt and another in the small of my back.
wait how did you do it to yourself? did you not take the full course of antibiotics from salamas office? were you not keeping hydrated? howd u do it to yourself?
I mean in the sense that i knew the risks and I still signed next the X and gave them my money. I did everthing I was told but it still happened. That's what i mean...no one yo point a finger at. It's just part of the risk.
Just wondering how long you plan on using those because my dr. Told me 3 to 4 months and personally I find that very long and unrealistic?
What? The pillows to sit? If so. I belive they said for a month. But for me I'm not happy with how big my butt came out so here and there i'll sit with nothing as long as i can tolerate it. Which usually isn't very long. I really want some of this butt to go down. Again thats just me.
