BBL went great...almost 2weeks post op Michigan

I ordered an extra garment a size large, the vedette 302 butt out garment from orchardcorset.com. if you order you get 10% off by using code OCVIP10. The only thing i will need is a squeem in a few weeks.

Had my 2nd post op appt yesterday. Dr Sampsons nurse Kim is sooo sweet, everything she told me about the procedure has been true. My stomach has these weird feelings, sometimes it gets tight in knots, sometimes it feels numb, my sides are still swollen and hurt. The arnica gel has really helped with the swelling. Over the weekend I asked my bf to take me to GNC which had the arnica gel and the pellets. They help so much with the swelling. I have only been taking my pain meds at night for stiffness and discomfort while sleeping. Thank goodness, those things make you so constipated.
Dr Sampson took my sutures out. I finally asked...lol...He says he took out just a little over 2000cc from my stomach, flanks & outer thighs..lol I guess I didn't have as much fat as I thought I did. He put in 900cc in each cheek. I am very pleased with his work and experience. I am soo glad i went to his office. trusting your life and body to another person is no joke. Still considering getting implants with him later this year.

He told me to come for another follow up in a month.

I took some more pics but they look the same so I'm not posting them. My stomach and waist is still very flat thanks to Dr Sampson and his excellent team and my butt is shaped very nicely. I will post some pics 3-5 weeks post op.

So I'm 4 days post op. I haven't had a bowel movement yet, scary but this morning I took a laxative. I've been only eating salads and fruit.
Every day the pain & stiffness gets a little better. I have my iPhone set to go off every 5 -6 hours so I take my pain meds on time. I started with 2 Vicodin at a time now I'm down to one. I think I will wait for the massages because its hard for me to go anywhere right now. My boyfriends car is a 2 seater so we took my car and i was most confortable with laying face down in the passengers seat all the way back laying on a pillow. Most of the pain comes with getting up & down. I'm still very swollen but I started massaging the areas he lipo-ed today with my 29.00 hand held massager. I had to send both my stage 2 garments back, one too big the other too small. Hopefully my new one will arrive in the next few days. The garment Dr Sampson gave me was too big the day after my sx.
Very pleased with my results. He made it look just like what I had just bigger, nicely shaped. I saved a lot of money by not going to Miami or Atl. Going out of the country wasn't even an option for me.
I have a free epifoam (lipo foam) pad that I'm not using if anyone wants it. I also didn't use the Dramamine or Zofran (both for nausea) I also have lovenox (injections) if anyone wants any of this stuff you can pm me. You can have it for free, just pay me for the shipping.

Okay I'm going to try to give an update I'm very tired so I may not finish my update I arrived about 15 minutes late to my appointment I had to wait about 20 minutes before they took me back. Checked my vitals got undressed and dr Sampson came to mark me up. My boyfriend and I had pics ready. The nurse anesthetist came in & explained her part. Dr Sampsons nurses are very nice by the way. I Kissed my boyfriend and say goodbye went to the operating room next and hopped on the table laid down said a prayer and then the crna started the IV. She pushed the anesthesia through & the next thing I remember I was in recovery asking for my pain meds. It felt like I was asleep for five minutes but I was actually asleep for probably four hours. Dr Sampson came in to check on me. My blood pressure was high has never been high in my life but they wouldn't let me go until it came down. After a few minutes I was able to go. My throat was sore from the tube they put down your throat. Of course my butt and my sides hurt. My boyfriend has been so helpful he picked me up and put me in the car. Thank goodness he is strong. I have no bruises ladies I repeat I have no bruises Dr. Sampson has a process that he uses where you hardly have any bruises. I don't have one. Dr sampson called last night to check on me. Had my post op appt today & I have no draining anymore. Getting sleepy so I will update again later. Thank you all.
