Hello everyone! I've been contemplating quite a bit as to whether or not I'm going to even update again what with all the issues in Miami. I do want to update though because I don't want to just leave u all hanging, not to mention this serves as a reflectional peice upon myself for myself.
Now that I'm done with the intro I will get into the actual review lol. So I should start out by saying that my surgeon is amazing. So sweet and sincere, he listened to all my fears and concerns and addressed them all. Like my title says I had my tummy tuck done with Dr. Rex and he was awesome.. I had lipo as well on my hips and bra roll area. Surgery started around 8 am yesterday but I had to be there at 645 am to get prepped. I remember the anesthesiologist telling me she will get me comfy and take deep breaths and that was it. I woke up in the recovery room cold so they came with heated blankets and that felt phenomenal. They said 2.5 lbs of skin got lopped off and another 2.5 lbs with the lipo... I know I probably weigh more now than pre surgery but hey I will take the 5 lbs! Lol. I really do like what I see even tho its not much yet. There's still a lot of stretch marks below my belly button but that was to be expected since originally I had them from ribcage to pubic area. My belly button looks good even though there still stuff (gauze?) In there. I just took 2 percocet so I'm doing well with the pain. Once it wears off though that [RS bleep] hurts. Alot. It's so hard to take deep breaths bc my abs are all so tight but I don't want to get pneumonia so I'm trying my best. I took a quick photo so u all can see :)

[RS bleep] ladies! Ugh ok first and foremost I hope all u wonderful women had an amazing Christmas and New years!! I have been busy because of the holidays and kids being on vacation and whatnot. I am now back on somewhat of a schedule ....
So, I just found out that my husband can no longer take a vacation in august like we had originally hoped! Dammit!!! He can only take the last week of June this summer (seniority issues at his work) so literally the only week we have out of the year is the week of June 22nd... I have 2 school aged girls and a 2 year old son, so I can only have this surgery done in the summer while they're off for 3 months. Nancy has me on a waiting list but that's crazy I can't wait like this in anticipation! What am I gonna do if no one cancels? Wahhh! :( I don't want to wait for next summer! And even if I do wait I will have the same scheduling problems. My husband can only bid for his vacations January of that year and summer gets snatched up quick for obvious reasons. So please, please, please ladies if anyone has a June date who is willing to switch with me or knows of someone who has a June date let me know and I will contact them. I will be forever grateful! I am trying to stay optimistic but am freaking out at the same time! Thank you everyone!!!

Wow! I'm happy for you. I can relate to you, and understand how you feel towards your body. I have 3 kids of my own , 2 girls and 1 boy. I'm living in Orlando and I'm also having my MMO with salama on January 16. My husband took 3days off from work to help out, and then the rest of the days I will ask friends for help. I've being waiting for this day to come, and its finally here. I don't have pics up because I hate looking at my body. The anticipation is killing me as well, all my kids were natural birth, so this is my first big surgery. I wish you all the best, and keep hope alive.
January 8, 2014
Oh wow! That's next week!!! So excited for u :) I urge you to post pics no matter how u feel about your body now. Everyone pretty much hates their bodies pre op that's why we are all having surgery lol. You will look a ton better and will forever remind you how far you had come :) keep us updated!

Date moved uppp! yay!
Mikeysgirl0528November 5, 2013
Hey everybody!
I am so psyched to say that my deposite is all paid and my date has been moved up from the 18th of August to the 11th! Ahhh!!! This is so real! Its happening and im freaking out! Well, inside my head mostly bc I am home with just the kids and if im jumping around all crazy and screaming they will be disturbed. Lol.
God. Seriously? After 7 yrs of wanting this my dreams r finally coming trueeee. I had a nice body for about 5 minutes then it changed into and 80yr olds like overnight!
I got pregnant with my first at 19 and let me tell you, when I saw my stomach for the first time after my csection I friggin cried and went straight into a deep depression ugh... it was nasty, all gooey and wrinkly with 5000 stretch marks!
I never got to enjoy my young body and now hopefully I finally can! Please Dr. Salama do your thing and give me a bangin body! Maybe I can wear a 2 piece to the beach for the first time in my life! Bend over without the infamous droopy belly drape. Have sex with my husband with the light on! Just feel sexy and comfortable without constantly worrying about covering everything up and who might see what if I move the wrong way. Btw I dont wear jeans bc none fit me right bc of my nasty belly hanging over. So incorporating jeans into my wardrobe would be awesome! Lol
you guys thank you so much for listening!
Xoxo

Congratulations on setting the date! as for daughters being drama queens, tell me about it!!! Mine was cool with everything I did. She knows I got my tummy fixed and mostly that I had a hernia. As for he boobs when I get those done as well, I will def be honest.
November 14, 2013
So I told my 7 yr old, who happens to be the inquisitive one that 'mommy will be having surgery on her belly and that they will fix her muscles because they got separated when she was pregnant with you guys.' Long story short and lots of nodding later she was really ok with it all :) now I need to work on a boob story! I think honesty will be best for sure. I still cant get over how amazing you look its amazing!
November 16, 2013
Aww shucks, thank you!! Yes the boobies!! What are we gonna do! thats gonna be hard for us to justify without looking vain! I am just going to be honest, what can I do. It is what it is...i feel like-- the age of our girls, they are sassy and they know what the deal is. Gonna have to just tell them "hey mom is fixin what you broke!" lol. place blame. LMAO jk
November 16, 2013

Hi, I'm scheduled the 11th of August and looking to change my date for a wedding if you would like to switch.
December 22, 2013
Oh your not even that bad, I can see your areas of concern though, everything can be fixed with the right clothing BUT if you must help your self-esteem when youre in the nude I say choose carefully. Also with a nice push up bra your boobs can look nice. It is completely your choice though, but at least read my BA review, so you can understand at the least what youre getting yourself into. You have any questions you can always message me.
December 29, 2013
Oh my goodness I didn't even realize u posted on my review! Duh... so sorry I must've deleted my email notification by accident. Thanks so much hun I will def keep in touch with u :)
