Hello beautiful dolls...So far I've been corresponding with Nancy at Dr. Salama's office. She's been very responsive and she's very sweet! I went back and forth with many doctors and I have decided on Dr. Salama after seeing all you Salamafied dolls!!! Talk about bootyful ;) lol. At this point, I'm just looking for a date to book my surgery (winter of this year or first couple months next year) since I have to take over a week off of work. I'm about 5'5" to 5'6" and range between 145-155lbs (fluctuates a lot). I work out a lot but have loose skin and stubborn fat on my back and tummy after my pregnancy. I don't know if I want to get a tummy tuck just yet until I've decided on not having anymore kids. After sending many photos to Dr. Salama, he said he can probably give me that sculpted look and did not mention the need for a tummy tuck. I would like a smaller midsection and some hips!! And more projection on my butt... I will be traveling to Miami for this...has anyone else traveled?? I most likely will be going alone so also deciding on the Serenity recovery home...I'm a little scared of going myself... Any comments would be helpful!

i stayed at there recovery house. it was a nightmare. my roommates also had a negative experience, but none of them said anything because they didn't want to, "burn bridges with Salama." I wouldn't recommend staying there. Its overpriced for the poor care and high sodium processed food they feed you.
June 5, 2016
wow seriously i was just about to book with them. Im looking at going in November
June 5, 2016
Oh no! Seems a lot of women stay there but they never really go into any detail (good or bad) about their stay while at the recovery home... Nice to know!
June 5, 2016
Really?! I was told this is the only recovery house we can stay at otherwise dr Salama won't do the surgeries?
June 6, 2016
What a liar! That's because Cynthia's mom runs the house, I guess she's lying so her mom ( who is the worst care giver ever, btw) can make money. You can stay wherever you want as long as you have somebody to help you.
June 6, 2016
@BeaLove Glad to know its not a requirement! I am thinking of just staying at a hotel if I can just find someone to come with me (ugh) - at least for the first couple of days.
June 6, 2016
@eliza112 yes, I most likely will be going by myself if I can't find anybody that will come with me! What about you?
June 7, 2016
@calicurves same thing. What day youre booking yours. Im sooooo scared being alone and the fly back im from chicago
June 7, 2016
I'm thinking about November 8th or later on in the week. Not sure yet but I rather have it done the beginning of the week. What about you? I'm scared as well! How long is your flight back?
June 5, 2016
I think you would be better off flying with someone to take care of you after the surgery and stay in a hotel. This is what I did and it was pretty good
June 5, 2016
Hopefully i can find someone to go with! Hubby said he might go but doubt he can take a week off of work unfortunately. What hotel did you stay at? Was it nearby?
June 7, 2016
I want November 7 i have no idea im thinking of getting one that stops somewhere so i can get off my ass for a while then back on its im just scared of killing the fat.
June 7, 2016
If you go that week in November too, we should link up! And I'm scared of that too. I heard they tell you what to do if you're flying. I think they write you a doctors note and you can get up during the flight to stretch or something! My flight back is 5.5 hours
June 9, 2016
ok what date you getting she has November 3 avaliable lets do the same week. Ill take any day in the early November. Let me know so i can get the date booked
June 13, 2016
Okay. I am at work looking at the calendar. I'm trying to schedule where I don't have to take a full 10 days off work because we are off for a couple days for thanksgiving. I will let you know asap because I rather go with someone if I can

Gaining weight for surgery?
Hi ladies! So, I'm 5'5 150lbs. This has basically been my steady weight for awhile. Nancy or Dr. Salama didn't mention the need for me to gain any weight after seeing my photos as I'm sure he can find fat in places that I didn't even know I had! I do have some fat in my arms and flanks that I can't lose no matter how hard I try. I'm afraid to gain any more weight because it goes straight to my face! I believe in his work and that he can work with what I got and still give me some hips and a booty with projection. What do you ladies think?

Hi! I'm the same, most of my weight gain goes to my face/neck first! If your surgeon didn't mention gaining any weight then I definitely wouldn't! I think he can achieve great results with what you've already got. :) You don't want to end up with a fat ass, small waist, and fat face/arms/etc. That's what I'm afraid of for me personally. When I get it done, I'm not going to gain any weight (I'm 5'7.5" and around 175), in fact I might try to lose a little bit! Many doctors don't tell you to gain weight because it's actually not healthy unless you don't have any abdominal fat at all and you eat extra nutrient-rich calories (via fruit/veg/potato/pasta/etc, aka not junk food lol). But of course if it is weighing on your mind, it's probably best to ask your PS!
Best of luck and may you have a speedy recovery!
June 7, 2016
Exactly! That's my fear as well. To have a huge fat ass, tiny waist and the rest of my weight is in my face lol. I don't think it would balance out. So I rather stay at my current weight if I don't need to gain any more. I've seen a lot of his work and he does transform women of all sizes and gives them voluptuous booties so hopefully he can work his magic on me using what I already got :). I've seen others on here that were told to gain weight in order to get the results they want so that's why it got me curious. But I guess since they haven't mentioned anything after seeing my photos, then I should be ok?! Lol.
Thank you! I am looking for a date to book my surgery. Are you getting a BBL as well?
June 7, 2016
Yes, I'm sure he can wave his magic wand on you! You are actually right around my size! I've even seen some great before & afters on slim patients so I think our medium builds will yield fantastic results. :)
And yes, eventually I will be getting a BBL! I've only just decided a week or two ago that it's something I'm definitely doing though, so I haven't started saving yet. Just researching like crazy in my spare time and learning a lot of important things. I'm one of those people that like to have their ducks in a row, so to speak, lol! If there are things I can learn on here myself then I'm gonna be a proactive person, not wait around until a month or two before my surgery to come to terms with pre/post-op care and info! I wanna be ready for a freaking pop quiz with all of this stuff lol. But yeah, based on my current salary, I won't be getting anything done for another year or two or five lmao. Unless I meet a millionaire and we fall in love. :P I know there are surgery loan websites and financing options but even those I can't afford in my life right now. Sad. But it's definitely my newest dream and I'm willing to work for it!
I hope you can book your surgery smoothly! I look forward to following and supporting your recovery.

Thank you! Yes, I agree. I do think our medium builds can end with some amazing and beautiful results! Especially since he can work with women of all sizes and sculpt their bodies. It's nice if you don't have to gain/lose weight for the surgery and he can just work with what you got.
Having your ducks in a row is a good thing! It's good to take your time and do as much research as possible on something you're considering doing... And saving up for it too! It adds less stress in the long run if you don't have to finance it because you will have to pay it off slowly for who knows how long! I sort of wish I was that type of person but I tend to rush things a little... Not really a good thing lol. I tend to cram everything in a little timeframe if I'm able to pull it off and make it happen. But I've been researching this and looking into Dr. Salama for awhile and decided on him. I look forward to booking my surgery officially!
Thank you for supporting my journey :) It's nice to have support! And I look forward to following your journey down the line! :)

Don't gain weight! It's my hugest regret! Plus he won't snatch your body if you do gain weight. It's not worth it.
June 7, 2016
Thank you so much!! And I'm so sorry to hear that you regret that! I'm afraid I will too if I purposely force myself to gain weight and then I know if I lose weight at all, I will lose it everywhere. Ugh! I do want him to snatch my waist so I think I'll just maintain the weight I have now then. Thanks so much!
June 7, 2016
When is your surgery?
June 7, 2016
I'm figuring out which day in November to book because I will need to take over a week off at work. I'm thinking 2nd week of November! I'm working with Nancy on scheduling
June 13, 2016
What date in November? I'm actually at work at the moment looking at the calendar. Since we have a couple days for thanksgiving off, I'm thinking of scheduling the week before so I don't need to take that much time off!
June 13, 2016
And I was emailing his office and Nancy the coordinator eventually called me to discuss the dates they had available, etc. I've been emailing her ever since with even more questions lol they have been very responsive! Did you email or call?
June 9, 2016
Hello, I know you were wondering where to stay. I will be staying at the recovery house. I can let you know how it is, the ins and outs, when I get there and I will tell you all about my stay. Hopefully this will help you make a decision.
June 9, 2016
When is your surgery? Thank you I appreciate that!! I would love the details... Good luck!
June 9, 2016
If you gain weight for your surgery, you'll have to be sure to maintain that higher weight afterwards. If you try to lose weight after to get back to your "normal" weight, you'll lose most of your butt/hips. (Where ever the fat is transfered)
June 13, 2016
You're right! It's best to stay at the weight you are comfortable with. I don't want to gain a ton, and then be unhappy with the way I look. I'm sure he can use the stubborn fat that I can never get rid of. He seems to find far people didn't even know they had. You're so right.
I'm getting nervous!
