I have decided to have a BBL with Dr Salama.
I am excited and scared at the same time. Its not my first time doing plastic surgery but the apprehension is always there.
I read nice and bad review on Dr Salama.
Apparently it hurt like hell but when I see the after pictures I am thinking that it may be worth it!!!
If any body have an advice.... please dont hesitate to share with me.
Cheers

Hey there,
Thanks for ur reply. I keep reqding very good reviews on dr salama. For now i am dealing with cynthia she seems nice and have the same name then my daughter. I have read one very bad review about the po lot of pain apparently
June 17, 2015
I'm scheduled for August 7th and I'm afraid as well. Not of the pain. just the anesthesia... any advice?
June 17, 2015
I think that you shouldnt fear the anesthesia. I have had 3 general anesthesia and all went very weel each time.

Have you seen salamas patients with burns. Not tryna talk you out but I think you should research that
June 20, 2015
i have read all her post and i research for more info. But in one of her posting before the operation she have been in a hurry and said that she want salama to dry her. I think its always best not to put pressure on the doctors and let them do what is best for us.

you really should have someone there. i went to salama i was not in the worst pain (4/10) but it was hard to do things. bending over to pick something up when you want to shower someone needs to hold your drains remembering to take meds making sure you're waking up every 2 hours the first day or surgery to walk around. you need a thin bathrobe flip flops a urinal so you won't have to sit down to pee. saltines gatorade are great the first day. lots of water and doggy pee pee pads for the bed it'll get bloody

i could not put the garmet back on myself for the first 10 days. i was way too swollen and stiff and you're gonna wanna wash it every few days it gets bloody most likely. hand wash, it dries quick
June 20, 2015
I am going to stay at the recovery house. You think that they will help on all these issues?
June 23, 2015
Yes that's fine. Probably better since they're nurses and care takers

I too had to gain 10 lbs and waited til about 1 more b4 surgery to pack it on.I am 2 wks post opt now.I drank ensure plus,it's roughly $10 for a 6 pk but has 350 calories bc eating more ended up getting almost repulsive bc I'm just not THAT hingry.I drank minimum 1 in the am & 1 in the pm.I preferred vanilla,honestly I thought it was quite tasty.In less than 2 wks I was at 6 Ibs of course w eating/drinking whatever.I too could not pry the girdle off,even now I have help pulling off & even getting it back on.I bought a urinal specifically the P-ez purple one from amazon which was maybe $10.B4 sx I thought this thing really, but honestly I still use it bc it is cleaner than letting pee fly in diff directions or even on the garment.I didn't use the bed pads,just didn't need them so u returned those again amazon.I found pillows,firm pillows to be of great comfort which my Mom had already that has made laying this long WAY more comfy.The soft pillows sink & useless.The nurse at the hospital was the one who advised me & provided them once I was out of recovery & staying over nite. (Bless Carol the nurse was so so amazing) Lastly about my experience w anesthesia,it made my vision blury.I couldn't read the labels on the medicine bottles or even txt people to update them on how everything went.For me it lasted near 5 days which was kinda scary but is completely bk to norm.I dropped so much stuff bc of swelling in my IV hand & just everything I guess that having help was a MUST in my recovery.I do hope this helps,best of luck on yers!!

Tx for the advice. I have taken so far 2 pounds 8 to go
