WORTH IT$6,995

So me & a friend are both traveling from Sacramento, CA on 3/22/16 to have surgery 3/23/16. Looking for an additional Surgery buddy coming from out of state to have surgery around the same time to share hotel cost. We plan on staying 7days. Also if anyone else can give advice on their travel experience after a BBL as far as where they stayed,how long ect.

Hey. I don't think 7 days is enough time, especially if you're traveling. I'm 2 wks post op and I can't even return to work yet. Dr. Salz's patients use a boppy pillow so not much pressure is on the butt after bbl. But at my doctors office, they tell u to buy large thick towels and they roll them up and tape them shut and the bottom of ur butt which is actually ur upper thighs is what sits on the towel. So there is absolutely NO pressure on ur butt for 6 wks. After4 weeks, a boppy pillow is fine because by then ur butt is pretty much healed and u can add a little more pressure on it. But Dr. Salz would tell u to use the boppy pillow from day 1 so every doctor is different and u should always follow ur surgeon's orders, not anyone else's. I'm just giving u my opinion and experience with the boppy pillow... Your friend is not gonna be able to help you and you're not gonna be able to help her if you guys both get surgery the same day or even same week. I recommend, in fact, it's STRONGLY recommended that you have a caretaker (relative, friend, or even someone u hire) because you guys are gonna NEED THE HELP. Liposuction and BBL's are no joke. Maybe Dr. Salz does his in a way that you are perfectly fine by 2 weeks but speaking from my experience, you probably won't be good, especially not by the first week. You need someone to help you get up, shower, lay down, etc. you should call the doctor and get more info on post op care.

I wish i could stay longer but having surgery around spring break the room are definetly not cheap. But we are planning on hiring a nurse for the first 3days at a discounted rate since theres 2 of us. So if anyone out there plans on flying into Miami for surgery around my time frame & would like to share the cost of a hotel & nurse please message me.

I'm 3 weeks post op and I still don't feel comfy sitting as yet. Luckily I'm fortunate that I don't have to rush home to ny as I'm still out here recuperating but I agree with mznewbooty You will need help the first few days especially with cooking meals, taking meds, and getting into that garment alone is a task that you will not have strength for. So what I did was wash off and carried the clean Faja with me to the massage therapist so they can help me get into it. Good luck ladies

Lucky. What hotel did you book? I'm looking to see how other people planned there out of state surgerys. I was going to book the Best Western that the clinic recommended but it was way to expensive.
