I didn't have to get drained, thank god. My ps said I'm looking good. I don't have to come back until I'm six weeks. He gave me the ok to drive but no more than 30 minutes. I drove for the first time today. It was very uncomfortable. I tried the boppy pillow then this hard ass foam roll. The boppy pillow won hands down. I miss being able to get up and go.
Have a god weekend

Hey, I already had bootay to begin with, lol. Do to me having my accident an getting a hematoma causing a deformity and then weight loss, the surgery was just to round me out more evenly... Yes, he did enhance my waist. I still need a TT because I have extra skin from having my kids via c-section. I checked out the review...idk but she never updated or replied back to anyone. I had a moment the other day...I felt my butt had improved but was still noticeable uneven, my hubby came home and reassured me. I feel dr. G did a very good job but I still have a lot of swellen. I'll put before pics up tomorrow .

I received both garments yesterday that I ordered from eBay. Needless to say one fit and one didn't. So, now I have to bother with returning. I'm happy with the one that did fit, it's holding me really nice and giving me the compression that I really need.
I saw Dr. Gartner yesterday and once again he had to drain more fluid...smh
I don't know what it is but once he filled up the first needle I got lightheaded and nauseous. So all in all I filled up two needle worth. It wasn't as bad as last week when i filled 4 to 6 needles. I'm a little sore under my belly but I can deal. Btw I gained 10 flipping pounds after sx and I have only lost 4...not cool at all, but as my husband would say " it's all that Ass" 8)))
That's all 4 now bbl sista's

I went for my first follow up yesterday and ended up needing to have my belly drained. Dr. Gartner said this will help to feel better. Needless to say I got light headed, sweaty and started throwing up...only me. He removed a lost but I have to go back on Wednesday to see if more needs to come out...which it will. I never had a flat belly to begin with.
So I had 5 liters of fat removed...belly, flanks and lower back. I received 800 cc's in cheek. I'm feeling pretty good today. I ordered two new garments off of eBay last night. I'll post pics and info when they come.

Lol, he left one of the incision slightly opened... It only had one stitch, that's where I drained from for the first 24 hrs

Hi hon...you look amazing! Wow I really loved Dr Gartner's bedside manner. He was so informative and detailed. I'm so happy you had the surgery and you are looking great. How long are you staying out of work? I may need to wait for the end of the year for my surgery...it's quieter at work

Hey, thanks... I'm a stay at home mom :), so I'm lucky. He told me no sitting for six weeks... To treat it like grass seeds...lol. I saw him today, he had to drain more fluid. This is a process.
