Hey RS,
I've had this account for a while.. I just decided to start using it because I have my surgery date coming up real soon... April 30th 2015 with Dr. Salama. I am very nervous and need everyone's help... please help me with everything I need to know for pre op and post op. I'm scared for lipo burns and scarring.. I am Asian so we are know to be more prone to scarring. Please send me some tips to prep myself for the surgery and also tips for a healthy recovery. What do I need to buy? What are things I should avoid? What is are the best things to help minimize scarring and bruising?

Girl you'll be fine about the burns just tell him. Arnica cream or gel that's what I bought and the pills too. You can order them off of amazon or walmart. For the scarring I haven't bought anything yet but I've been looking some thing called kelo cote or something like that. Good luck girly :) post some befores so we can see. I go to him in June and I'm very nervous, but excited :)

Thanks girl! I appreciate your advice. Any kind of advice would help right now. I'm having major anxiety. I can't wait to see your results as well...

You'll be fine :) I'm really nervous too, I'm not going to lie sometimes I'm like should I do this? But I am, I really want to feel better about my self and look better in clothes that I can't wear cause it don't look right lol but girl you are going to look hot!! Know that for sure you already have nice body :) I'm really excited to see how your results turn cause you don't have a lot of fat. But I'm sure salama will find it and make you look amazing :)

You should have had your surgery by now. As everyone has commented, your body is already beautiful so no doubt, you'll be that much more amazing. How are you feeling, how are your results? Hopefully you're back in Canada safe and sound.

Hey RS,
I can't believe I'm posting these pictures.. I've been so self conscious. I went from 130lbs to 155lbs now. I'm getting lipo on my upper back, lower back, inner thighs, upper stomach, lower stomach, sides, double chin, armpits... Man am I going to be in crazy pain. I've booked for the recovery home so I should be in good hands. I'm not looking forward to the flight home to Canada after the surgery though.

Salama told me to gain 20lbs too. We have similar stats. So happy you are documenting your journey.
April 22, 2015
I keep looking at my body and thinking that maybe I don't have enough fat.. I hope I do.. I'm just going to get Dr. Salama to suck the fat from every possible spot on me. I'm Soo neverous for burns though and scarring. I scar sooo easily.. :(
April 23, 2015
You are going to look great ! Great pre op figure ! I was 147 and 5'8 pre op
April 23, 2015
Thank you! Did you go to Dr. Salama as well? I was getting nervous that I didn't have enough fat, but if you were only at 147lbs at the height of 5'8. Then I should be big enough for this.

Prescription

Hey RS,
Has anyone else had troubles filling in their prescriptions that they send you in the Mail? I live in Canada. I tried going to different pharmacies and none of them woul fill my prescription. They said it has to be written by a Canadian doctor. I called Dr. Salama's office and they said I can try a pharmacy once I get to Florida, but if it doesn't work then there isn't anything they can do for me... I'm getting really nervous for the pain. I'm too close to the surgery date.

Oh sorry lol. Funny how we both are going to salama and have pics of ini Helene lol
April 24, 2015
Usually, ppl go to pharmacy in florida and fill prescriptions before sx. If u arrive a day before, u should go to a pharmacy preferably one near ur doc office. Or uf u hired a nurse or traveling with someone, have them puck up ur meds while ur in sx. its best arrive in town a day before sx so u can do things like this.
April 24, 2015
I can almost 100% guarantee u will not have prob picking up meds if u go to a pharmacy near ur doc bcuz they recognize his name make sure u have proper ID tho like ur passport. Salama office most likely use certain pharmacies, so they will likely tell you to use those ones. Hope this help.
April 24, 2015
Okay, perfect! Thank you soooo much!! I got so nervous. I was scared that I would have troubles filling a prescription there since I'm a Canadian and our healthcare is different.
