2 years PO w/ Dr. Salama

26 Days PO:

I had a turn around today, ladies! I've been very bummed about my loss of volume, but I put these pants on (same ones I took pics in at 2 weeks). Ass is still there! Lol. Also, just to clear up any misunderstandings about why my booty went down so quickly, I want to post an email from the fabulous Ruben!

What you are losing is inflammation and swelling. Fat does not disappear that quickly. Keep in mind that your body is full of fluid after surgery and it takes time for your body to drain that. Once that drains, fat is accommodating in your buttock.

So do not cry and in a couple of weeks I’ll show you how much of a difference your buttock and other parts look.

Keep me posted.

Ruben

He's such a doll :-) well, on another note, I'm feeling really good! Only issue now is getting back to normal with bending and stretching. Everything is still tight, and uncomfortable when I bend. I have a bit of discoloration on my tummy and sides still. My tummy is looking better and better, thank God! The swelling in my feet, ankles, and calves has subsided completely! I'm still a little hard/swollen in my pubic area, groin, and tummy. Booty is giggly and a firm soft. It's not hard anymore at all, but it's like a nice big firm booty. I do want it to soften up a little more, which I'm sure it will since I'm not even 4 weeks. Well, today I started sitting. I sat through church. Entire service. Felt really weird and uncomfortable, but not painful. I'm going to continue driving with boppy and pillow for another 2 weeks. No excess fluid build up, no major issues on my end so far.

Well, ladies, for those of you who don't already know me, I will reintroduce myself: I am a 24 year old female who lives in Kennesaw, Ga. I had my surgery on July 10th, 2012 with the fabulous Dr. Salama in Aventura, Fl. Pre-op stats: 170lbs 40-39-41 Post-op stats: Day 5- 34-29-44 5 weeks post-op: 33-29-42 I am doing well in recovery. I have been getting two massages a week since surgery, and have 3 more in my package. Speaking of, ladies that are familiar with my situation with Massage Envy, I spoke with a manager about my first two massages done with the woman who does the lymphatic massages that consist of light touching. She credited my account for those two massages, so I didn't waist my money :-) I'm very pleased with Massage Envy, and love my masseuse! I am still dealing with a lot of swelling in my groin/pubic area/lower tummy. It's the worst after a full day at work. I was told by my masseuse that all the fluids go down with gravity and collect there, so it's very common. I use the heating pad for at least 2 hours a day, and it works wonders! I hate the garment, and everything that comes along with it, but I'm still using it. I've listened to my love PrettyGirlFLA and I use my board regularly. It does wonders, as well. I just put my belly ring back in last night :-) I've been going to the gym since my 4th week mark, doing upper body weight, and 30 mins on the treadmill with a slight incline. So far so good. I'm feeling better and better every day. I still get stiffness in my lower back, and stomach. Stretching is the only way to relieve this, but it helps like nothing else can! I've finally started showcasing my body out in public and on social networks and I get so much attention. I've had old friends message me asking me if I got ass shots. Haha. I tell them all the Brazillian Butt Lift workout video, and they all buy it. I'm absolutely loving this, but I can't stop shopping!! I was in sears indulging in some Kardashian Kollection dresses (gna post pics when I get home later... They were made for me!!!!), and heard these ladies in the dressing room next to me saying Bebe was having a sale! So exciting!! Bebe dresses fit my body like OH MY GAWD!! I got $150 dress for $73!! Heck yeah!! Anyways... Nothing much going on other than swelling and tightness. I will be driving from ATL to Colorado Springs at the end of the month for a vacation/wedding! So I'm very excited to show off this new bod! Well, ladies, I'll post some more pics tonight, and I'm in the process of getting Ms. Kristy to post the links to Part 1 & 2 to the opposing reviews, for easy access. This sucks they cut you off. I guess I write too much. One last thing; I'm still in love with the EPS Miami team! Ruben is amazing!! He answers me like literally ASAP every time, and is so concerned! He ALWAYS puts me at ease with whtever issue I'm having! LOVE LOVE LOVE TEAM SALAMA!! (I go hard about my doctor and his team) :-*

New 5 week pics up!! I love my new shape! shoping is so much fun!! I can't wait to wear the KK dress to my husband's best friend's wedding in 2 weeks!
