I had a eTT & a bbl last Friday . I am having a hard time at night. Could someone please respond and give some pointers on how to sleep at night time. I was told not to sleep on my back, and I can't sleep flat on my tummy

I stop taking my pain meds since I don't need them. So far I have lending on my knees, and my chest laying on the bed.

I'm glad everything went well, I too had a TT and bbl and I'm sleeping the same way you are it is so hard to get comfortable have you found a better way to sleep ? I also tried to sleep laying on the recliner and have my butt hang out and my feet rest on the couch stool

Snoogle..... Google it. :) it may help. I love mine!!
October 25, 2012
Thanks!

I'm finally sleeping on my tummy.. I place plenty of pillows on my belly.. I can honestly say its getting better as each day passes by. The hardest thing is not being able to sit... I keep on telling myself just one more week to go.... How are you doing?
January 13, 2013
How the hell did you manage??!! Maybe im picturing it wrong
January 13, 2013
How long after was it that u were able to sleep on ur tummy?
January 16, 2013
Oh believe me girl it's a mental struggle on finding a comfortable area. I'm 3 months post op.. N I actually started sleeping through the night for about 4 weeks ago. My back is still swollen n my tummy area as well.

Have you tried a snoogle (Preggo pillow) it positions you better on your side so there won't be accidental rollovers. Google it, I love mine.

That is great, I am doing good and after a week I am finally able to sleep on my belly... I love my results he did a great job so far I haven't lost any volume that I could see how about you, have you lost much volume I will be posting pictures soon
October 28, 2012
Glad to hear your surgery went well and that you're happy with your result. I have been checking your review almost daily hoping to see some updates. I'm happy to hear you will be sharing some photos soon. My pre-op consult with Hegg is next week and I'm extremely nervous. My hope is to get at least 500cc in each cheek. I have been trying really hard to pack on some weight but don't think I have been that successful
October 28, 2012
Hey! I'll try to take some pics tomorrow.. I had the lipo, TT, with BBL. I only stayed at the hotel for one day. Dr hegg went to visit me the next day and told me that I was ok to go home. I live about 1.5 hrs away. I'm happy with my results. I looks really natural, and it has made a huge difference... I felt nothing during surgery, the first three days are the hardest.. I can give you my cell phone # if you like.. I think it will be better for you since your only having the BBL. I think you had mentioned about staying a couple of days, if you live close it might not be necessary.. Ask Dr. Hegg.. I have been post-op 15 days and I have not sat down, I only have a few more days to go.. You can count on me for moral support!
October 28, 2012
Hi, finally newme.. Some of the volume did go down. But I'm happy with my results. I have seen people looking at me.. Lol

Finally added some pictures! Just took them this morning. I think you'll be happy with his results. I wanted something that was noticeable but not exaggerated..
November 5, 2012
Wow, you look great and so natural. Would you mind sharing your before weight, height and how many cc did he transfer into each cheek? Thanks
November 5, 2012
Thanks!! I haven't asked about cc's. I will ask when I see him next week. Height is 5'6, weight 155..
November 6, 2012
Oh my I will be having the same and I wonder also...how am I going to sleep??
November 6, 2012
It's going to be a challenge.. But you'll eventually will be ok by week 1. Some of the girls have some suggestions below.. They really worked! Best of luck!
November 12, 2012
Read this review http://www.realself.com/review/tallahassee-fl-brazilian-butt-lift-hrs-post-op-swollen-difference-shape. She cut a hole on a 6" foam mattress topper to make a hole for her butt and she said it worked wonder for her. My surgery is next week and I just made my foam mattress for my BBL today. I've tried it and think it is going to work. Good luck
November 12, 2012
I just saw the foam mattress.. It's funny how I just bought new mattresses, and I told my hubby that if I had my old mattress, I would of cut a hole out.. Thank you Buttappeal. And best of luck in your surgery.. Keep positive! Remember the first week will be a challenge! Once your drains are removed you'll feel 10 times better..keep me posted and I'm here for support!
November 12, 2012
Thank you. By the way, did you get any massages after surgery?
November 12, 2012
Buttappeal, he didn't recommend any. He said it was up to me.. I would recommend it. I'm still swollen from the lipo area on my back. When are you scheduled for? How exciting!
November 13, 2012
I am scheduled for next Monday. I am excited but at the same time extremely nervous. I pray for a healthy recovery and of course-- a hot body. Please keep me in your prayer
November 13, 2012
Will do!! You won't feel a thing... Your in amazing hands..

It has been 2 months since my surgery. Loving my results.. Love how my jeans fit.. Haven't lost any volume.. Started sitting at 6 weeks, and haven't notice any difference. My job requires me to sit 8-9 hrs a day..

I started sleeping on my tummy 2 weeks post-op..
January 16, 2013
Oh gosh !!! This is really starting to sound painfull .... Umm.. How long were you in pain for??
January 16, 2013
The painful part is the drains that are place for about a week.. I would highly recommend for you to get your bbl done first. Then you should wait for at least 6 mo for your TT. It's no joke when you can't lie on your tummy or your booty. Believe me I was kneeling for the most of the day.
January 16, 2013
Did i mention im getting my arms done @ the same time...lol ... I just wanna do everything at once b.c im dcared of doing one thing and then i wont wanna do the rest cause of pain... How long were you in pain for?
January 16, 2013
Lol.. I didn't get my arms done since I really didnt need it.. Not so much pain just discomfort.. I only took the pain meds for 3 days.. So are you getting your arms, TT, bbl?
January 16, 2013
Yes all at the same time... I havnt been able to get advice from anyone who has done all 3 together ... Actually no one seems to have done all 3
January 16, 2013
I also had my inner thigh(s) done a d that was not painful at all.
January 16, 2013
Did the insicion open up or the scar stretch?? They told me that happens alot
January 16, 2013
I want to do my thighs too ...
January 17, 2013
I don't think mine did..it depends on how the person heals. I'm also using scar guard and its helping.

Congrats on your new body! I know its really exciting!!! I'd like to know How your tummy looks if you don't mind? I'm having the same procedure as you did and I'm just really nervious that my tummy area isn't going to be as "bomb" as I hoped for. I want to wear a bikini to the water this summer! I can't wait! My surgery is in late Feb. (i forgot the exact date) lol but even if I take a while, I will post after pics! Anyway, Congrats again, and I hope you can post some more pics :)
February 6, 2013
I'll take some pictures this evening.
February 6, 2013
Hey girl! You look great! Question- when did your butt stop getting smaller? I am 1 week post op with dr. Hegg and I'm wondering when the shrinking will stop lol.
February 6, 2013
Congratulations for making this far. To answer your question, mine didn't stop shrinking until around 6-8 weeks
February 6, 2013
I agree with buttappeal. Your butt does shrink, the dr did say that your butt will be at its size by 2.5 months. I would suggest to you not to sit on it for at least 3 weeks. I sat down at week 6
February 7, 2013
Thank u buttappeal! My size has already changed so much I'm nervous I'm going to lose it all! Trying to be positive though, I didn't want it huge anyways:)
February 7, 2013
Thanks girl! Trying to stay of it until 6 weeks too (other than driving, but i used towels so my butt isn't really touching). And props for getting a tummy tuck, I can't imagine recovering from that right now!
