The Brickhouse DiariesOctober 29, 2012
DISCLAIMER: DR. JIMMERSON DID A GREAT JOB.
I have been contemplating if I should update my post or not, because I am unsure how I feel about my results.
ELEVATED BLOOD PRESSURE: During my surgery, my blood pressure elevated and caused for me to be in OR 4 hours instead of 2. I had 3800 cc's removed and total of 2400 injected inmy buttocks. I asked Dr. Jimmerson for bigger hips and natural butt to compliment it. Which he gave, but I wish it was a little bigger. I wish he would have lipo'd the max 5000 cc's to give me the leaner torso, I desired, but I believe, my intraoperative complication affected that.. :(
MY SEROMA: Kim, told me that before I could get my drains out, I would have to drain less than 30 cc's by my post op appointment. Well I noticed on day 4 I was draining less than 30 cc's and thought that may be a little odd. I asked to come in early to make sure there is not a clog anywhere and low and behold, I had two seromas on the left and right side of my abdomen. I had them drained that wednesday and came back friday for another aspiration. I was told, I need to see if my primary md will drain them for me when I returned home otherwise, I would have to stay in atlanta for up to 7 weeks. why 7 weeks, because It may take 7 weeks of draining for the seroma to finally go away. does anyone remember the name of the member who had a seroma? she was dr. salama's patient. I need to find her blog to see all the things she did to get rid of it. I was told to keep a lot of compression on it, get it drained and do lymphatic massages. Luckily, I found a doctor back home who would do it for me and I only have to pay the $25 copay.
MY FLIGHT: I was so paranoid on my flight back it was unreal. I wish I would have gotten an aisle seat on the last row. I had a window seat on the 7th row and my seat mate didnt want to switch. As soon as the fasten seat belt light went out, i was litterally using my arms to lift my butt off the cushion every ten minutes because i didnt want to lose my booty.
CONTEMPLATING 2ND BBL OR MORE ABDOMNIAL LIPO: I posted my before and after pics taken in the office, because I really haven't been in the mood to take pics of myself. I am not really happy with the lipo, but i know its not his fault. I am disappointed because he is one of the most expensive bbl ps and i was expecting to get my money worth in lipo. I was really hoping he would have gotten more fat out so I could concentrate on maintaining the results so I can be ready for my Ultimate Breast Lift in December. Because of this seroma, i will have to wait until feb. to make sure everything is healed and back in place.
I really hope, I am just going through postop blues and the swelling in my stomach will drastically decrease to remove my back roll, I have left to really enoy my new shape. I know I can exercise or diet it away, but I honestly didn't think my built was that bad that he couldnt get it all gone. so I could work on building up thighs and arms without focusing so much on my abs and back. Don't think I will be watching the TI and Tiny show. It will make me feel even worse if her results came out better.. enjoy the show.

its def a big difference. u are just considering round 2 because you dont think he did a good job on your lipo?
October 29, 2012
I think he did good considering the circumstances. the surgery is only suppose to last about 2 hours, but I was in ther 4 hours because of my stupid tale blood pressure. Like, I said, it could just be the blues.

October 29, 2012
You look fabulous!

October 29, 2012
I wanted to add to my post that was cut short.. You do look fabulous. However, I respect how you feel, as women we want what we want.. PERIOD! :) As a bbl (soon to be) sister I just wanted to say that you do look great. From what I have seen on here, many times we may experience the blues coming our from the "extras" we may endure and the results may not look like we want At first. But from this side you have Dramatic results. What I would encourage you to do is try some jeans on that you knew you didnt look as flattering in and check it out. Regarding your lipo, I agree with 100% you had a good frame to start with sis, so I think what we are seeing now is just swelling, and water retention, which we have all seen go away in a few days after continuos wear of your compression garment.
You are one of my fav bbl sisters on here. You have been so positive and optimistic about your journey and encouraging others. I just wanted to give back to you some of the joy you always share. happy healing!
October 29, 2012
thanks, redbone.. You are right, others have felt like this after the surgery and I will be ok.. thanks for the support shug..can't wait to see your pics.

October 29, 2012
You are so welcome sis. I am scheduled in March 2013, thats the next time my child will have enough time off from school that I can "get away" and do me! I am going to post my pics at the start of the year. Makes no sense to post pics of my square spongebob tail, until then,.. lol. Even Dr. J said I had a square behond when I booked my appointment.. SMH! How horrifying would that be for me to log in to see? LOL.

October 31, 2012
LOL I had to laugh with you here redbonehoney. I remember my consultation and he was so serious when he was describing my "square butt" and wanted to die laughing but a bit embarrassed at the same time. Good luck on your journey!!

November 1, 2012
Glad you could feel me on that MWSB... its sad but true! And yes I was left speechless thinking should I just laugh or cry because someone else know its square too. lmbo! whatever! lets get it Right! enjoy your journey too doll.

October 29, 2012
Thank you for telling about your experience. The garment you had on was it given by the ps? Do you think there was not enough compression from your garment that caused the seromas? 7 weeks is unrealistic. I also wondered abt the aggressive lipo. I am anxious tht you will like your results more as the weeks go by
October 29, 2012
Yes, Dr, Jimmerson, provided the garment. I honestly think it was just a side affect of the surgery.

October 30, 2012
I like what smile39 said. Your life is way more important than anything. This shall pass. We are here for you.

October 29, 2012
I respect your honesty and TOTALLY ONOW HOW YOU FEEL. Btw, damn he gave you a ton of cc's. In the end we all want we want and that is the booty of our dreams. Besides, we do pay a lot of money. I cannot remember the girl that had seroma but I recall her drama and having to get a drain put in and etc. i had a seroma and know how discouraging it feels. It was drained once and there wasaton of fluid. I was tld at the time that it would have to be repeatedly drained and as time passed the fluid would get less and less. Thank God I had it drained once and compressd the hell out of the areawith foam, board and garment. Plus I got like two painful massages in between. Needlessto say that darn thing never came back. With that said compression is the key to forcing thefluid out. Wear that garment 24/7 and get massages too. This recoveryis a very emotional one. Sorta hormonal like the post partum depression or something.one minute you are happy or pleased nd the next pissed. Just strap on your seatbelt and ride the wave like a champion. I am considering a round2 as well bit still praying to the fluffing God's. Hope u feel better. U do look good btw :-)
October 29, 2012
girl, i bought an ace bandage and a girdle tank that I wear under my garment. It is so uncomfortable. Not to mention, I am still wearing that triangle in the back.
lawd have mercy!
I think you are right about just being emotional. I can see a difference, but I guess, I was expecting for him to give me exactly what I wanted. Hell, I have been singing his praises since I found him. I still think he is great plastic surgeon and when i go again, I will go to him. This time, I think I am going to diet and exercise to the point where my measurements stall and then go to him for a touch up. I would like to be a 36-27-48... Just bad!! I was hoping he could at least get my waist down to a 30, but Im at 33.. I pray that its the seroma and post op swelling.
Thank you so much for the encouraging words and sharing your story.. Your response really made me feel better.. Keep in touch.

October 30, 2012
Your waist will go down whenswelling subsides. I know how u feelabout waist. Im stalled at. 31 and would killfor a 29. Im 5wks post op and honestly dont think its gonna go down too much more so thats another reason i want a round 2. Btw, i would take your measurements anyday. Mine are 38-31-42 [RS bleep]. Lol!
November 1, 2012
Just wanted to say thank you so much for all the helpful tips and advice you gave us all! Ur blog was by far one of the most informative n it has helped me to prepare for my procedure in feb. Im sorry that u feel ur results didnt turn out the way you wanted but honestly im keepin my fingers crossed that mine will turn out as good as urs! He gave you beautiful curves! Maybe give the swelling some time to go down to truly see your final result... i see alot of girls on here that hav po pics from 2-3 months after surgery but then they post 5-6 month pics and their results look even better! Please dont be discouraged! Im sure I will be feeling the same way when its my turn because I tend to be hard on myself but just know that I think you came out lookin fabulous!

October 29, 2012
I see a really noticable difference, you look great! Im sure your results will "come into place" as you continue to heal. Keep a positive attitude, you truly are BRICK HOUSE! : )
October 29, 2012
Thanks, dear.. I see a difference as well..I can't wait for these blues to end. As one of the members put it, this surgery can be very emotional.

The Brickhouse DiariesOctober 22, 2012
Day 4: this morning I woke up in a lot of pain. I didn't sleep well and i felt like I was busting out of my garment. I called the office and spoke with dr. Jimmerson and told him about my drainage and how i felt like I was busting out of my garment in the abdomen area. He asked if I had a bowel movement and I told him no. He told me to take magnesium citrate and if I don't make a bowel movement come in the office today.
I took off the garment because I felt so bloated I fel like I was going to bleed if I kept it on. My mom went to walgreens and bought me some grape magnesium sulfate. I drunk the entire 10oz bottle per the instructions and washed it down with a 16oz bottle of water. Within 3 hours my bowels finally moved and it kept moving. It was awful. I am afraid too put my garment back on, because my stomach is still upset and its an orchestrated event to take that thing on and off. Im really worried how not having the garment on for a 24 hour period is going to affect my results. I will call in the morning to see if I can get the drained removed early to make sure that my drainage results is accurate or if i have an obstruction somewhere. I don't want to have to stay longer than I have to because of an inaccurate drain read.
I have a very infrequent bowel pattern and i was taking 4 tbsp of milk of magnesia along with my stool softener to help, but that didnt work. Ladies, word of advice, make sure you are eating green leafy vegetables and have a high fiber intake to keep yourself irregular. Drink 64 oz of water a day and 100% juice at least a month before surger if you are irregular like me. All the narcotics and anesthesia in your body will affect colonic output.
Enough of that!
I am absolutely in love with the folding chair with a hole in it that forever booty posted. I plan to head to walmart to get one tomorrow. \
I will update you guys tomorrow with more pics of my room, me, chair and measurements tomorrow after my visit to dr. Jimmerson tomorrow.
Toodles, ladies
Lets pray that real self uploads my review and pics..
