Getting Better but My Skin is Forever Damaged
My body is looking better but I'm still very swollen. I feel like ill be trapped in a faja for the rest of my life. Yes I look good in clothes and yes its an improvement from my before pics but its only bcs I have on a faja sucking the life out of me 24/7. If I eat 1 morsel of food or drink an ounce of anything, my belly protrudes very badly and is even visible in a faja. The scabs from my burns are all gone but my skin will be forever damaged from Dr Robles carelessness. And these burns DID NOT come from a faja. Burns from your faja look like carpet burns. My burns were very deep and I wasn't even allowed to wear my faja almost my entire trip in DR.
I have been seeing a PS in the US and he suggests smart lipo when I'm 6 months PO to my upper and lower abdomen.

I Know I've Said it Before But I'll Tell you Again!
I'm in love with my massage therapist Erick Freukes. Today was my 4th massage and every single time I go, it's something different. Today was the first day he actually worked on rotating my legs and twisting and turning them which is a great thing because it feels weird to my incision to try to sleep on my side. But with the movements and stretches he did with my legs today, I think I feel more confident that I can sleep on my side.
The back massage was more intense and it hurt really bad but I know it's necessary. Even my sister said she noticed a difference when she touched my back because it doesn't feel as hard. I'm so happy I was able to find the best massage therapist in St. Louis. I don't see how people go through this type of surgery and don't do massages. It's a must to feel normal again but the key is finding someone who knows what they're doing and Mr. Freukes is a master at his craft. My saving grace every Monday and Wednesday.

Burns Almost Healed
Well. I go for my 4th massage today and even though they are painful as hell, I feel so much better after it's over! I took a shower for the first time today and I feel like a new woman!! That hot water felt like sex!! LOL!! I am $200 in and still on the hunt for my stage 2 faja. My first one does nothing for me anymore. I ordered a large and I couldn't even think about getting into that thing. The XL will be delivered today. It's a prada faja which I was told by Virginia at the recovery house that those are the best. But I'm now hearing that fajate and Salome are the best. Anywho, I feel like I'm rambling.
I was told by Laura that Robles wanted to send me a different cream for my side. They asked for my address some time ago. When I whatsapp'd Robles about the cream today, she tells me I don't need it. They stay on some [RS bleep]! My swelling is still to the point where I only look good in a faja but I'm told that is normal so I'm just trying to be patient and hoping a tighter garment will help me out. I guess that's all for now.
