15 days post TT and bbl with Dr Salzhauer

So I can't believe it was 15 days ago already since my surgery!
I'm recovering more and more each day it it is a journey.
I'm not in much pain just mainly discomfort. Discomfort from not being able to sit and lay down without lots of pillows. And now I'm starting to get itchy I guess from all the lipo.
Its definately a long road of recovery I know.
I'm still quite swollen on my back and flanks from the lipo. Plus my tummy is still swollen from the TT and I am still walking hunched over. The dr said it could take a month or so before I'm walking straight.
I'm getting concerned that my butt is Shrinking already or that I didn't get enough put in my butt! I know it's hard to tell becuz of the swelling but I'm concerned that once the swelling goes away and I lose some fat cells that it won't leave me with any more projection than what I already had!!! I'm starting to really worry!!!
I'm trying to keep calm and hope for the results I wanted! That's all I can do right now!
Happy healing and best of luck to all other patients out there!!

11 days post BBL, TT AND LIPO to full back, flanks and pubis with Dr Salzhauer

So My bf and I made it back to Canada yesterday! Wow what a long day!
Left our hotel at 3:30am to catch our flight from Fort Lauderdale to Atlanta. Had a 1 hour layover there which was just enough time to get to next gate and pee. Then the next flight was from Atlanta to Minneapolis. Same thing an hour layover. Then from there to Bismarck then a four hour drive home!
By the time we got home my entire body was aching and sore! And my legs and everything were so so swollen!
We slept for about 14 hours off and on! Lol so we did get caught up on that!
Now it's just to figure out a routine here to recoop!
I haven't taken anymore pics as of yet as I am still so swollen in my tummy and back so it's not showing me much shape.
I sure hope that the swelling goes down soon so I can start seeing some positive results to all this surgery!
Dr Salzhauer and his full team are truely amazing! He is so compassionate and makes time for you whenever you need him! I am so amazed by him!!! Now I hope to see the results I wanted!
I'll keep updating!

8 days post

These surgeries together are sure a hard recovery!
I'm 8 days post and it's been a roller coaster!
My first couple days were bare able then went down hill fast!
I had severe diarrhea caused from the antibiotics. I had to go back in to the surgical centre to get rehydrated after 2 days of feeling very low energy, diarrhea every hour and zero appetite!
After getting rehydrated I felt so much better. I did end up with red bloody looking diarrhea again the day after but we are unsure if it was all red Gatorade!?
Today was much better as I didn't have diarrhea. Dr Salzhauer did put me on probiotic pills so that is hopefully helping that situation.
I go back into see the dr tmro for another follow up visit before we leave to go back to Canada in 2 days.
As for my results I'm seeing, it's hard to tell at this point as I am still very hunched over and still so swollen.
The butt does look bigger but I'm sure the shape is being affected by the swelling as I'm still early in recovery.
He did tell me at my first follow up 2 days ago that he put 1200 into my butt and hips! So that seems like lots??
Anyone else out there that has had both surgeries done at once that can give me tips would be so appreciated!!
