Hello ladies of bbl world....I have been thinking of having this procedure for over a year now. While doing my research I came across this website and I've been addicted every since. I decided to go with Dr. Okoro. My two kids really did a number on my body and now it's about time I get body back I've waited long enough. My plan is to get bbl w/fat grafting (lipo of upper and lower abs, flanks lower back) and also lipo of inner thighs, bra rolls, and axilla. I had my in office consultation on Feb. 28......I was very impressed so I went ahead and scheduled surgery for April 23. I'm super exciting!!!

Three more weeks.....can't believe it! So ready to get my bigger and more shapely butt and body. I'm reading how recovery ain't no joke....got me a little nervous I have to admit. But this is something that I really want to do for myself .....I've dieted even had a personal trainer for six months. I did lose some weight also built a lot of muscle but for some reason the fatloss stop and I started bulking up don't know what I was doing wrong but it lead me here. Hopefully I'll get great results that I can maintain or continue to improve thru diet and exercise. Well my pre-op is next week 4/10 I plan to post before pics and let you know how it goes.

OMG!!! I can't believe it.....only 2 more weeks. Well I had my pre-op w/Dr Okoro today and everything is all set. Actually my potassium was a little low so he prescribed some potassium pills to take up until surgery date he said it should be fine by then. I was so anxious glad my husband was there with me he's been so supportive. Oh I also decided to add arms last minute. All the staff were very friendly and encouraging kept saying how nice I was going to look.....which I needed to hear cause I'm kinda nervous. Dr. Okoro was really nice and very detailed.....lol he even drew on me to give me and my husband a visual of what he'll be doing. They measured me for my garment which will be custom made. Well it's going down in 2 weeks.....can't wait!

Finally ....I made it to the other side! I got to the surgery center @ 12pm my signed some extra paper work. They gave me xanx for my nerves while I waited for Dr Okoro to finish another surgery. He came in around 1:45pm marked me up and I was ready to go. They gave me anesthesia helped me to lay down on my side and all next thing I knew they were waking me up telling me how good I looked. Only sad thing is because he was so aggressive on my abs, waist and back he reached his limit so I have to go back for my arms and inner thighs. Well I'm really not that sad cause I'm sore as hell and couldn't image not being able to use my thigh and arm muscles to get up and down. Last night I was sooo groggy and weak and this damn garment is sooo tight I could hardly sleep. Sleeping better today off and on. I've been getting up walking for 10 to 15 minutes. And that female urinal ....that's what's up I'm going to the bathroom on my own. Haven't had a bm yet though. Getting sleepy again .....I'll update more later.

Three days postop.....I'm feeling so much better. My incisions are healing nicely not much pain either. I am totally loving my shape....Dr Okoro is the man hands down....did exactly what I asked for: small waist rounder hips and upside down heart-shaped butt. I'm getting a four day package of lymphatic massages starting next Wednesday after my one week followup appt. I hope it really helps with all the swelling in my stomach. I'm currently wearing my stage 1 garment with foam underneath and an old squeem that I bought two years ago it fits pretty snug. Would love any advice on how to get stomach flatter. My husband has been the greatest ....helping me in and out of garment, showering, making sure I take my meds....I love this man! My kids are helping a lot and my mom helps when she can....I'm so blessed to have such a great support system.

So I had my one week postop visit on Tuesday....Everything is as expected still some swelling, stiffness and soreness. Bruises are starting to clear up. Had my second lymphatic massage with Tiana today......she is awesome! I swear she has magic hands before I would bout jump out of my skin if anything rubbed against my back. I really notice a difference since yesterday. I still have two more appts left with her. Hopfully my abd board gets here since so I can continue to work on getting my stomach as flat as it'll get. I also schd one my smoothshapes at Dr. Okoro's office next week.....can't wait to see how that goes. Anyway.....I'm still loving my results and I'll update more later.

Had my last lymphatic massage with Tiana on Saturday.....she is just awesome the way she gets in and breaks up the lumps and bumps aka scar tissue. She comes to you so you don't even have to leave the house. You don't need anything: she brings a massage table, two large pillows so your butt doesn't touch table when laying on your back, she used coconut oil on me which was really nice but you can let her know if you prefer she use something else. I will def be calling her back soon. If you are in or around Atlanta area please give her a call you want be disappointed: WEBSITE: WELLNESSSANCTUARYINC.COM PHONE: 678-856-3864 NAME TIANA. I live one hour outside of Atlanta so she doesn't mind traveling. I am going for my first smoothshapes with Dr. Okoro tomorrow can't wait to see how that goes. Two smoothshapes are included in his BBL package and also a exillis treatment. I'll update tomorrow on how is goes.

So I had my first smoothshapes today......it really wasn't so bad. I laid on my back for the first time which was really weird....felt like I was on two balloons. Lol! The treatment on my stomach and lower back felt really good but my upper back was bit painful still a lot of swelling. I think getting those lymphatic massages last week made it easier to take also. Another one scheduled next week. I moved down a size in my garment ....really excited bout that.

Well it's been 3 weeks since I had my BBL......still loving my results. Haven't lost any volume. Less and less swelling everyday and that numbing sensation is also easing up. Still can't bend and touch my toes yet without feeling like something is tearing in my back. Getting my 2nd SmoothShapes tomorrow. Have my 1 month postop next week. I schd my sx for lipo of inner thighs and arms next month (June 17th) kinda nervous. Anybody had inner thighs and/or arms lipo?
