44 Year Old Mommy, with 2 Beautiful Children - Miami, FL

Hello RealSelf family my name is Theresa and I'm a 44 year old single mother of two absolutely amazing children. My children are 2 of my greatest accomplishments. I have always lived a low key reserved life out of respect for my parents in my (teenage years) then due to my son second phase of my life (very early twenties) was dedicated to my son. I use to workout, eat right, I've tried every diet from Jenny Craig to weight watchers. When I was younger I had a nice shape but I've never had a big butt and I've always wanted one. No matter what I did I could never achieve the shape I desired. I even had liposuction In the city I'm from, it didn't show any change,($5000) I've spent so much time and money till I had given up. Then in 2012 I lost one of my most precious positions (my only son). This reality shook my whole world and turned my life up side down. I was 42 and filled with dispare. I felt a sense of only exsisting not living. I cried everyday for over a year. One of my girlfriend said let's do something off the radar, that's selfish and for us only, I didn't even pause, I said ok. We did adj the research state to state and found the absolute best hands down Dr. SALAMA, who is heaven sent. I love everything about Dr. Salama he is truly a professional and I would recommend him to everyone I know. He's the best hands down. I researched many other Doctors, no one compares. His bed side manners are impeachable. I didn't spend much time with him at all. But it didn't take me long to see he's been blessed with a gift of communication. No small talk at all, ALL business, her covered everything. It's true I dealt with only his staff up until that moment but it's very obvious he's well informed of everything necessary to do his job. I stayed in The Recovery Treatment Facility and I can't image this great adventure being spent any other way. Grace was my caregiver and oh my goodness she was amazing. I had to tell her several times "I have it" she would say "no let me help this is why I'm here" I'm so pleased I made the decision to move fwd with this process, I thank God daily for Grace. Even my daughter is happy I did this for myself. She's very proud of her mommy. We both miss her only brother and my only son daily but we find things to be grateful for.
