Im new to real self. I wish I would've found out...
Recovery
Hey ladies I know I'm late but just wanted to let you know how things went.... After I woke up from surgery I didn't even know what was going on... I felt nothing... I just woke up on my side.... It wasn't until I rubbed my legs together that I realized everything was finished. Geeta gave me a little more medicine and my nurse Rochelle took me back to the hotel ( Hyatt place ). I slept for a bit then she woke me up to give me meds make me walk and feed me... Rochelle was amazing... She went above and beyond her duty .. She even came back to check on me after I was done with my scheduled days with her .... By 8 pm Clarise came and took over... She's another one who went above and beyond the call of duty including taking me to get a smaller garment because samantha/rod royal recovery brought me the wrong size and then she said " oh well I'm not going all the way out there ". ( very professional right )... Anyway.... Days go by and I'm never in any real pain... The key is to stay ahead of the pain... Take that medicine as directed whether you feel it or not because it will creep up on you. Taking the garment off for the first time was a doozy... i got soooo lightheaded and hot but was fine once i git it off... as soon as i got it off clarise washed and dried it and tiana from the wellness sanctuary came to do my lymphatic drain massage... she is amazing. by the next week it was time fir my post opp appt. i felt great but was still draining fluid so i was unable to get my drained removed for 2 more days ( bummer ). I go back 2 days later and kim removes my drain. that was the weirdest feeling. It didnt hurt but you could feel the long drain come across you back.... as im getting dressed, the ever so handsome doctor Jimerson comes in and gives me a hug. He asks if i like my results and if i had any questions. The only question i had was how many CCs did he put in. he told me he put 1125 CCs of fat in each cheek and 200 CCs in each hip... i was so happy to hear that because i was afraid it wouldnt be big enough. He gives me a prescription for their special scar creme and a j curves t shirt and let me take a picture with him then i left. i went across the street to the pharmacy to get the prescript filled.. my insurance didnt cover it so i had to pay $125 for this little 3oz bottle but oh well I had already spent over 15,000.00 at this point... Why go cheap now. I head back to the hotel to pack because I was flying out in the morning. The next morning all of the girls (and my mother ) went down and met for breakfast. We took pics and exchanged numbers.. It was funny because the hotel staff wanted to take pics with us which made the other hotel guest wonder who the hell we were... I've never been out of town and had the pleasure of meeting so many lovely down to earth women. I feel like I've known them forever. I just love them all like they are my sisters....
