Hello Ladies,

I finally made a decision and chose Dr. Salzhauer. I have had the hardest time choosing, this AM it was him against Salama, but I feel Dr. Salz is my guy! He really showed this military girl some love and reduced his initial consult (still more than Campos and Salama), but honestly it was just a good feeling about him. The office has great customer service and Keka is my favorite there, she is beyond sweet and really seems to care. I got lucky because someone canceled so I took that slot! I already booked my travel, I really want to link up to other women who will be out there around the same time. I am a nurse :-) So there is some incentive lol. I will be there from the 29th of October until the 7th of November, my hotel is about a half a mile away. I am not bringing anyone with my as my awesome hubby is deployed. I am 27 years old. I am 5'5 and 175, he told me "DO NOT LOSE WEIGHT", he said I carry my weight very well. I have my Pre-Op tomorrow via the phone, as well as my consult with my primary doc for clearance. I hope to hear from some of you soon.

Hello Ladies. I had my tele pre-op today and all went well. I continued to be impressed by the level of customer service at Dr. Salz office. They will be mailing all my prescriptions, which is one less hassle when I get there. I am doing a red eye on the 28th, and will be meeting the doctor on Monday so I can spend time with him before surgery, I feel like the day of surgery things are very rushed. Plus it gives him the chance to assess me in person; you really cannot get the whole picture via Skype and photos. I have no hesitation about backing out if he sees me in the flesh and does not think he can deliver results they are up in my expectations, with that said I do not expect the world, I am a nurse and very realistic. This meeting will also allow me to share my goals, ideals, and expectations. I really believe communication is the foundation of a doctor/patient relationship. I notice sometimes people who are vague with what they want are the same people unimpressed with their own results. Do not leave room for misinterpretation. I really am excited. I have already purchased the staple items that will be needed. My travel is booked and I am happy I have a kitchen; I am one that can blow major money when traveling. I had a tummy tuck before and had a poor outcome (Wound dehisced and became necrotic), it was a nightmare. So I will be really laying low and staying in the room and allow myself to heal, I am there for over a week. My next procedure will be TT revision, but it is not bad and I want this more. I will post some photos soon, I need to take them and remove tattoos. Have a good day. I have connected with some of you ladies, and I really look forward to meeting new friends. Maybe a booty clique dinner the night before surgery ?

Hi there, welcome and thanks so much for sharing your journey with us. Your surgery will be here before you know it, are you all prepared? Please do keep us updated with your progress!

October 18, 2012
Hi, and thank you for the warm welcome. I was a makemeheal girl, but this site is much more user friendly. I will most certainly share my progress! I am prepared :) and very excited.
October 18, 2012
Hello I have a question for you. What happen with your TT? I'm having a TT, lipo & BBL all at once. How did you get your scare? Sorry if I asked to much just cerious.
October 18, 2012
Hello, a issue with TT is a opening at the incision site and necrosis. People will say it is not that common, but I have seen it happen many times over, mainly in a small scale and sometimes on a larger scale. I was not diabetic not have I ever smoked, but it still happened. My incision began to open up and then become necrotic, it took many months to heal. I will need a revision for vanity reasons, but I am not doing that with my BBL, I would rather focus on one thing at a time and heal comfortably. Many people do just fine with combined procedures, so do not stress. I surgery was with a well known TT doctor, so even the best doctors have patients with bad outcomes, our bodies are all different. I would talk more with girls who successfully combined your procedures and find positions that were okay. I would not have been comfy on my side after a TT.
October 18, 2012
How scary... I'm sorry you had to go through that :( on the positive side ur booty looks amazing!! I can't wait to get a bigger booty... I seriously have nothing it's yucky. Lol!
October 18, 2012
It was a mess. Thank you for the booty compliment. I have not had anything done to my butt yet, that's just me. I've had a TT and breast reduction. I hope I have good results from BBL.
October 19, 2012
Lol!! Really?? Haha! Well it already looks good w a bbl ur gonna have such awesome results.. Like mentioned before I have nothing so ill b lucky to have awesome results.
October 19, 2012
Are these pics before or after your breast reduction? If they are after they are huge. Lucky! I had to pay for mine.
October 19, 2012
Lol you are so funny. I just took those a couple days ago. That's after reduction l, but before bbl. I gained major weight and I swear it all went to my tummy, back, and boobs! It's ridiculous. I look so disproportionate. My bbl is in 10 days. I look forward to posting after pics. Are you going to post before pics.
October 19, 2012
10 days wow that is sooo close. R u nervous. Post op pics r a must. Yes i took some & will post them tonight. I tried on my iPad but real self wouldn't give me the option to post. I found my laptop yay! So I should b able to on that.
October 20, 2012
It is close. I moved fast once I decided to do this. I called my doc everyday until he had a patient cancel (she did not get medically cleared) then I moved in for the kill on the spot. I am not nervous, I am excited and actually look forward to having an excuse to be lazy. I am active duty and in full time school, so I feel like I never can calm down. I am going to enjoy the lazy healing stage for a week. Yayyyy get your pics posted. I was hesitant at first, but so many stories on here helped me and I wanted to pay that forward. It is crazy how the women on here who never met me are more supportive than my damn friends.
October 20, 2012
Haha! That's awesome.. That's how I am for my laser hair removal.. That's good ur not nervous.. I'm such a freaken baby when it comes to pain yet my dumb ass keeps putting myself thro it alllllllllll the time lol... Anywho I will I promise I for a bit tipsy tonight therefore I'm extremely lazy lol. I guess ur always use to posting really good pics of urself so when it comes to ur flaws it's much harder. I've gained 13 lbs so far. That's y I luv luv luv this website. My friend/ family only have negative stuff to say such as I'm fake & blah blah.. I'm like WHATEVER DON'T BECUASE UR BROKE ASS CAN'T AFORD [RS bleep]!! Lol..
October 20, 2012

October 20, 2012
Hope you had fun being tipsy. I want to have a night out, but I have way to much homework. I know, the pics I posted are the most unflattering ever....usually I suck it in lol I am a expert at that.

October 20, 2012
Thank you. It truly means a lot to me. I keep seeing your Dr. J girl's and wondering if I made the right choice. J was on list too. Oh well I am paid and need to accept my damn choice before I drive myself crazy. I feel like Humpty Dumpty the egg. I had kids very, very young and I feel like I lost my form before it was even developed. I want this like crazy. Thanks again for the encouragement.

Hi, sorry if I missed it. What did Dr. S charge?
