33 Yrs Old with Two Kids Wanted to Do Something for Me

Hey ladies first off I'm alive. Lol sorry for the late update but I needed to focus all my energy on healing. So I'm 6 days post op and I love my results. Dr. Salama molded my body and gave me exactly what I wanted. My butt and hips have that perfect hour glass shape that I never thought I could have. When I look in the mirror its still hard to believe it's me looking back. As far as CC's I don't know the number but I will ask at the next appointment, all I know is it is definitely ENOUGH! LOL. So I plan on posting a more in depth review when I feel a little better let me just say this, from my arrival up to now the entire staff and the recovery house have been amazing at coordinating my various appointments and keeping me comfortable. They go out of their way to help make your recovery a more relaxing process. 

Their driver Justin picked me up from the airport and its was stress free and easy. I went to our preop appointment then cvs for some snacks for the house and supplies we didn't have. Then Justin brought me back to the house, where I meet Lourdes and got a tour of the recovery house. The next day Justin picked me up at 8 am and brought me to the surgery center, let me say this guys Justin is a great guy he is very social able and is able to keep you calm on the drive over there. He assured all would be well and that I was in good hands. When I met Dr. Salama he introduced himself to me and got right into. Lol I really like that because I'm a newbie to cosmetic surgery so I had no idea what to expect. He was extremely professional and explained what he believed were realistic expectations for my body when he was done he asked what additional questions I had for him (believe me I had a bunch) then he marked me up took pictures and said Alex would be in to speak to me next. A little while later in walks Alex the anesthesiologist he did a great job! It's was the first time ever that I've woken up from surgery not feeling like I was about to be sick. That was a big concern for me and he made sure it didn't happen so Alex get 5 stars in my book for that. When I woke up I was in pain and the gave me pain mess through my IV and I was fine after that Justin was down stairs so they wheeled me down and he helped me into the back of the car. Let me tell you ladies it was so comfortable back there I was worried for nothing. I've actually fallen asleep once back there on the way back from a massage that's how comfortable I was. So we waited because me roomie was actually finished to and was on her way out, once she was with us we went back to the recovery house where Grace cared for us like we're her own daughters. She fed us rubbed our backs empty my drains, helped us with every little thing we couldn't do for ourselves. The next day I saw Nomie at the office to take the garment of and make sure everything looked good. She's so great at making a painful process bearable. She talks you through it and takes her time with taking the garment off and putting it back on. A few days later it was my turn for my massage. I'm not gonna lie it hurts but it's bearable I'll go into more details on everything later. Ceila (sp) was so sweet she talks you through the massage she's gentle with you but also gets the job done the biggest factor for me is compassion and everyone with the exception of one nurse (she wasn't super rude but she wasn't nice and it was during a time when I really could have used a caring person) demonstrated a very high level of professionalism and compassion which I greatly appreciated and recognize as something that is not always the case with some of the surgeons offices where ladies are having this procedure performed.
Alrighty guys that's all for now I will add some additional info in the following weeks with pics.

What kind of bathrobe did you buy? Did you bring it on surgery day?

Actually if your staying at the recovery house you don't need to bring one, they have lots. Plus it's better that way cause you end up getting them dirty a lot in the begining because of the bleeding. But if your not staying at the recovery house I would say bring a robe you don't care about because it's gonna get messed up

Yes I met him the day of surgery also, I think that's the typical way it works. Don't worry he's very professional and good at keeping you calm. Just try to remember your in good hands. I know that's easier said than done though. But all will be fine

Hey Ladies!
I just made it to the ft lauderdale airport . I'm at the airport waiting for Justin to pick me up. From what I understand there is another doll here also waiting but I'm not sure who it's is. I've looked around but so far no luck, and I've decided to stop looking cuse I'm pretty sure people are wondering why I'm looking at them lol. I still can't believe I'm here! I know I've been MIA this last week but it's just because i had a bad cause of nerves. I really wasn't sure I was gonna be able to go thru with this surgery. My baby isn't even 4 months yet so it's so hard to be away from him for even a day let alone 10 whole days. But my hubby is so supportive, even this morning when he drove me to the airport he told me I deserved to do this for me, and that I sacrificed a lot for our family. And that now it was time to do something for me????. I thought that was very sweet of him to say and exactly what I needed to hear at the time. So here I am on the first leg of this amazing journey, and I can't wait!!
