Going for 2nd round with Dr. Salama Feb 15, 2016
WORTH IT$3,700
So a lot has happened since my first round back in 2012! I've gained about 20 pounds so I'm up to 185. My ass held up nicely and I get a lot of compliments BUT I need this waist snatched.
I was never happy with the rolls on my back and felt like Dr. Gabay wasn't aggressive enough the first time. So now with the weight gain, it's not cool.
I originally contacted Dr. Salama last year and was supposed to have the surgery but then I had doubts. I'm over it now, contacted Nancy and put 10% down.
Anyone else going around this time?

I had my second post op visit with Dr. Gabay today...
I had my second post op visit with Dr. Gabay today and he said even though I'm still swollen in certain areas, that I've healed really fast. He took out stitches he placed in my lower back (I didn't even know they were there until I started getting massages) and wants to see me in another month. He told me to continue the massages.
So far I've gotten 3 massages. The first 3 were great because I took percocets before the massage. The last one I recieved was tough. There's knots in certain areas and my skin feels raw and tingly. So all of that combined makes an uncomfortable massage but I grind through it because I know its the key to my healing.
BTW: if you are eating balanced meals and drinking lots of water, you will NOT need a laxative at all.

loookin gooooood I want to take a picture...but how do you put those stars to block the private parts????
July 28, 2012
Thanks social! Open up your paint app on your computer then open the pic file in the app. Apply the stars over the parts you want then resave the pic. I can do it for you and email it if you're having problems. It's easy.

Hey mnmll - i had my consultation - i really liked Dr Gabay...he was super crowded...but not too bad...Thanks for the tips...I will probably be contacting you again with some more specific information if that's ok..
August 2, 2012
Sure sexylegz! I'm so glad you like him. He's becoming very popular. Ask me anything you want.
August 3, 2012
Once I pay the deposit...I set up a date for the procedure...is there something else that I will have to do in the mean time? I am planning on getting everything i need before hand...so i am putting together my lists from your review, and others as well
The big question - did he give you exactly what you were looking for? And does he 'go bigger' as rule of thumb b/c you lose some of the fat afterwards? Ok i know this is long but I AM SO NERVOUSLY EXCITED!!!! EVERYONE LOOKS FABULOUS! If there is anything you can think of (the smallest detail) that might be helpful please let me know.

Also...how long was the entire surgery? he told me it would only be a couple of hours...which i thought was short compared to what everyone else was saying..i don't want a Fast Azz!!!

Lol you're crazy! Make sure you fill all of your prescriptions and bring them with you the day of surgery so the nurse can mark on them what each one is for. Buy some maxi pads (the thick ones) for drainage, Gatorade and ensure's in case you don't have an appetite. Have some bread and crackers on hand and drink plenty of water. Order some Bromelain and Arnica. It helps with the swelling and bruising. Make sure you have a responsible person with you to help you with your garment, using the bathroom and changing your dressings. At least for 2 days. I was an hour late for my surgery and I was done by 1. I went in around 9:15am. They keep you in recovery for awhile. I believe the max is 1,000 cc's per cheek he can give you. He gave me the max without me telling him. I showed him a few wish pics and 2 weeks post surgery, I am still happy with my results. He gave me a nice sweep in the small of my lower back. My ass looks nice! Women turn heads when I'm out and about in my maxi dress.

I had my first massage today and it felt great. After my massage the swelling went down a lot because I was able to put my garment back on with no struggle. My hha actually made me secure it on the 2nd hook (there's 4 total). I go for my second massage today. I haven't lost any volume but it's starting to soften up nicely.

Hi Again..question...did you have to buy all new clothes? I am concerned that nothing I have will fit after the surgery!!!
July 24, 2012
It's too soon to tell. Right now I'm wearing maxi dresses and my linen pants that fit baggy because I'm still wearing my compression socks. He also lipo'd around my knees so my garment is a little longer than the normal ones you see on here.
July 24, 2012
Good luck. BTW: I also can fit my loose fitting workout pants from old navy. Dr. Gabay did his thing on the lipo!! I love how my body is slimming out. If my ass stays the way it is (I hope), I'll probably have to buy new jeans.
July 24, 2012
Sorry for all the questions...just need to know if I have to figure a new wardrobe in my budget...LOL ...its great having someone to discuss this with who just went thru it and using the same doctor...was it difficult to get a date for the procedure? I would like to do it in the next 30-45 days
July 24, 2012
Its no problem. Ask all the questions you want. I'm sure he can accomodate you. You have to do bloodwork and leave a $400 dep. Just make sure you clear your calendar for the next week that you have your procedure done so you are resting and no one knows your business. I'm back at work now and no one notices anything because I'm wearing baggy clothes, etc. Everyone knows I workout like crazy and run mini marathons so its going to be no big deal once I show off my new slim curves.
July 24, 2012
Ok last question....(today that is)....I have pics of what I want...and how big I want to go....my ass is flat....so I am looking for a miracle butt...how accommodating is....
July 24, 2012
Wait...this is the last question of the day...the photo you have of you in bikini/underwear is that the before pic? and the ones in the garment are the after?
July 24, 2012
I can't answer that. I can only tell you about my experience. There's two ladies on here that went before me and when I saw their pics, I knew that Gabay could give me what I wanted if I was very specific with him.
July 24, 2012
WOW that is a lot better than most I have read about. I work in a office environment I am going to have my done in Dec so since everybody seems to take time off. I am going to Dr. Campos or Cardenas out of Tijuana my mom is going to go with me which makes me feel better. I am hoping to just stay in the Recovery House for no more than 6 day!
July 24, 2012
yeah well keep in mind most of these girls are going out of town and flying to Miami or Atlanta to get it done. I didn't have the luxury of taking off 2 weeks so I was determined to find a doc in Philly, NJ or NY to do this. Thank god I stumbled on this website. Follow your doc's directions, take the vitamins and listen to the nurses as well. Drink lots of water. That's the key to recovery as well as the massages.
July 24, 2012
Wow....a week? I thought I would be out for a few weeks....was driving difficult...I've read a cpl of people who have said they paid 4500 w Dr Gabay for the same procedure u had....any idea on the discrepancy? Maybe its the blood work? I really hope the price is the same as yours.
July 24, 2012
Driving takes awhile to get used to but you figure out a way not to sit on your ass. I use a rolled up yoga mat underneath my thigh so my ass doesn't touch the seat.
I can't tell you about the discrepancy. Maybe they had more to work with. I don't know.

July 25, 2012
