Liposuction with Fat Transfer to my Calf. (Calf Augmentation)....Today is the Day - Miami, FL

I had my surgery today, so its Day 1, so far so good. The staff a the office are amazing, I didn't feel nervous after got there. There were so accommodating and funny to, just love everyone. Dr Mendieta is so personable, I just love him. I woke up a little drowsy, which is expected, then they brought my friend who is my caretaker in to see me. I was able to get up on my own with really no pain just a little stiffness in my calves, but the nurse was right there in case I needed her. I had a few naps today in and out of sleep and when I got up I realized my calves felt a bit more stiffer than earlier. The Liposuction on my abdomen is a bit sore, more so tender to the touch. I know I must be swollen in my abdomen waist and back, but they look the same size before the surgery this morning, which makes me believe that he took alot out and my waist should be super tiny .........Yippie I'm so excited about that. My Calves have this type of sock that applies a little pressure, They look great now, hope the swelling doesnt go down to much there. I can't wait to wear a mini dress.......lol.. The first recovery day seems to be quite easy, but that was also the case with my breast augmentation. I am looking forward to the three week mark would should give me an idea of what I would look like with most of the swelling down.

Ok day two: wasnts all that bad, I think I made it bad. I had my first post of today, got up, put on my make up and a flared dress to hide my garment. Everyone in the office complimented me, I felt and looked great (of course still swollen and a little bruised). Today they changed my garment, even though they are expensive ($200) I was advised to buy two which was a good idea. The first one was soiled from all the drainage the night before. After i had help taking it off, which it wasnt hard, I was asked to sit because the nurse told mr patients tend to feel a little light headed when it comes off. I within 10 minute got a quick bout of nasea but only last for like 5 minutes and as a safety precaution my Doc gave me a anti-nausea shot. I love my Doctor. My Calves look great, just what I hoped for. The only issue is after being stationary, when its time to get up and walk around they get really stiff. They loosed up a bit but I still had that "frankinstien" walk....lol. I felt really good today just a little sore. so i decided to go in the mall, BAD IDEA. At first i was okay but then i think I stayed too long and pushed myself too hard, I felt so tired I didnt think I could make it to the car. I had a friend with me, she kept telling me to sit, but then I kept thinking how I get stiff so quickly so i rather pushed myself and headed for the car. Needless to say, i will be staying in tomorrow, resting. I was able to get up on my own today, I didnt spring up like i usually do, but felt great to have my independence so soon. Overall a good day.
