WORTH IT$8,399

I am 24 years old, will be 25 day of my surgery! I am 5'5 or 5'6 and currently weigh 150-155. I have a 6 year old and I am married. Most if my young adult age I was busy with school, work, and wife/mother duties. I gained so much weight and I was not happy with my body and stretch marks. I felt so depressed when I would see the girls my age with 2 pieces and just looking FAB.

I decided to have liposuction in Tijuana on September of last year. I went into surgery at 172 and the lowest I have been after surgery is 135. BUT my stomach became so WRINKLED and my stretch marks so much more noticeable. I was embarrassed to show anyone and when I did I could see in the facial expression that it was a gross!! Or I feel sorry for you!! reaction. I think the moment I really hit depression was when I caught my husband checking out my friends profile on FB she had TT, BBL, and TT with a dr here in Los Angeles. He was looking pretty hard!

I started over eating and till now I eat so unhealthy that I lost that liposuction sculpture and continue to quickly gain weight. I am so happy my husband supports this procedure and this will make us stronger not because of looks but because he will see me happy and confident! And I am also happy to have found this website and to be part of the JULY Salama group all the ladies are just wonderful. I understand that I don't want to like me and be happy with my results like I was with lipo I want to LOVE me and find the REAL me!! Any advice will be greatly appreciated and I just can't wait!!!! And want to add this is a TT w BBL

I uploaded current pictures even though I do plan to lose weight from here to late June and then regain to 150-160 by surgery date just to play it safe with the fat for the transfer I'm thinking 1,000-1,200 ccs let's see what dr can do. I'll add side and my motivation pictures tomorrow and let me know if my expectations seem realistic PLEASE! Also would be helpful to hear the ideas for after surgery how you ladies will position yourselves to not damage the fat transferred how will you drive or sit? I'm getting a TT also I'm not sure how it will work I'm so scared to flatten my behind after the procedure. And also changing eating habits since aftercare is SUPER important

OMG Girl.. i feel the same way about everything you said. Myconsultation with Dr Salama is on april 4th and i cant wait to book my BBL with a TT. Hopefully i get to have it on July as well. the sooner the better.
March 23, 2012
Hey Kelly502 I know I really am so happy I was able to schedule my surgery he was booked until July 17th when I called. I have not meet the doctor in person I just emailed him my pictures and Ruben Salama (his brother) replied with the doctors notes attached. But I am so confident with this doctor girl we are in great hands see the girls on here and you will have no doubts! PLEASE keep me posted I'm so happy to find someone that will also go tO him for TT and BBL mostly everyone is going in for BBL
March 24, 2012
Im so excited and so happy as well that i found you. Im so worried about the TT and BBL at te same time because we are not going to be able to sit and everybody says that they are on their tummies all the time... So i wonder if its gonna hurt like with the TT and all and i totally agree with nevaeh you do have an awesome body :) i used to have a nice body but it all went away after 2 pregnancies lol my butt is non existent and i used to have a decent one and my tummy is wrinkled and just plain ugly looking. Youll see when i post my pictures. Cant wait for my consultation and to give the money that i have right now before i waste it!! Haha
March 24, 2012
Kelly 502...yes girl I'm worried just like you!! I'm not sure how I'm going to do it!! I guess I'll have to wait and see what the dr will recommend. I read some girls saying they laid on their sides with pillows all around and then able to do so once the drains are removed from the TT...but that sounds scary what if I pull something.also just to let you know my friend just booked her surgery yesturday and was given the 26th!! That was the next available. So keep me posted :)
March 24, 2012
The 26th of July. And yes hold on to your money...lol we tend to spend it easy!! Lol I can't wait to see your profile and the transformation
March 28, 2012
With my luck by the time i book it, its gonna be on august :( oh well. You know how people say that you are supposed to consult with other surgeons as well. Well, Yesterday i had a consultation with Dr Perris. He was really helpful but for sure bot going with him because he doesnt do TT and BBL at the same time. Today i have another consultation with Dr pazmino or something like that LOL. Lets see how it goes even though i already know that Dr Salama is my man :p
March 24, 2012
Hot stuff girl you already have a good body shape so you're going to be looking like a video vixen by the time Dr. Salama lay hands on you. Question? You had lip b4 when you gained weight, as you said in your profile, did you gain in the area of your lipo? Or did the weight take place in other areas. I was told if you gain the weight goes to unlipoed areas. Was that true for you? Anyway you have nothing to worry about, your not spongebob, you already have nice curves! It's going to be HOTT in July! I can't wait!
March 24, 2012
Nevaeh thank you girl I sure do hope so! I just can't wait!!! But about the lipo the shape stays...before I was a sponge bob so the curves are from the lipo. But I gain weight faster after lipo and in areas I wouldn't before. Like my face, my arms, and I've noticed little fat pockets around the lipo areas. And very little gain in the areas already lipoed. You have to be very careful after girl.
March 24, 2012
Thank you I'm sure this info is very helpful to all of us. I think based off your comment I want to get my arms done too, bc that is the second problem area for me. Great info.
March 24, 2012
No problem girl! I believe they are charging my friend an addition $400 for her arms she is getting same as you BBL no TT

So happy! Just got a reply from Ruben. He is truly awesome. I had so many questions and concerns and he really took care of them. So 2 more months and I will be having my surgery. The only thing is that since I last posted I have lost so much weight i'm currently 130lbs I plan to maintain myself until late June. I hat my stomach and stretch marks!!! And also my booty just shrinks :( so I'll post some current pictures soon for all
of you too see what happens when you get lipo and gain weight (my current photo) and then loss weight. The truth is you get the lipo sculpture back, but I highly recommend you just prevent the gain weight. Also it is so easy to gain weight after liposuction only you gain it in different areas and in pockets not lipoed. I'm so anxious I just can't wait until all this is over with

Thank you ladies! I have been trying to upload new photos but my laptop is having issues. Wished we could upload from phones but it doesn't allow. I need to fix asap July will be here soon. I'm so nervous! @ lilgigi I know that's my concern I'm scared that it will be too much! But this website has helped seeing all these other girls getting the same procedure. I have an idea of what to expect maybe it won't be exactly the same but atleast mentally I feel less stressed
