Wowwww !!!! You look amazing !!!
Looking great doll
You look great! Are you wearing a garment?
No.... something very light duty.
It has been a long journey for you, but your results are fabulous. So are you still having pain & swelling? Would you say it was worth all the suffering, because I know that you suffered much more and longer than most do. I have learned so much from your posts, for instance, I have several stool softeners & laxatives ready. I told my doctor that not all pain meds work for me so I want to make sure the meds he gives me work prior to releasing me. I have a 2nd garment and I am going to take an entire month off to recover. All of that prep I gained from following your journey, so I'm sure you have helped many others as well. I really appreciate your openness & sharing everything. My date is 2/24/16. Wish me luck! I'm terrified right now worrying about all that could go wrong.
Hi Sallyann, I am so glad to hear that my postings have been helpful to you. I am still in pain, its not a pain that needs medication but a pain that is annoying. Its like an itch and a deep pain that bothers yet the surface of your skin is like a numbed piece of meat. It is a very uncomfortable feeling. I stopped taking pain meds on week 3 once I run out. I decided not to take iboprufen because I felt like it didn't help much. Please make sure you add enemas to your essential items. That's what did it for me and it worked fast. I wish I would have gone straight to it instead of taking all that discomfort. I am glad your surgery is coming up. Just make sure you research the doctor well. I just saw a girl that got burned so badly in Miami by a doctor (Salama), she posted pictures. Terrible. I also remember being scared right before my surgery and thinking what if something went terribly wrong... I kind of felt selfish right before surgery. I think those feelings are totally normal. I was so glad when I opened my eyes and saw that I was all in once piece and everything went OK. I am happy with the results. My body is transformed. I had read a lot too, but nothing could teach me what it truly is going through this surgery. Everybody heals differently... but your age, overall health and whether you exercise often will determine how fast you heal. I have learned during this surgery that I need TO exercise. I am starting in February... my body was very weak from not excercising in so many years. I am giving my body some time to fully heal but a good thing about having done this surgery is that I am now determined to do some time of excercising to get my body a bit stronger.
To answer your question. I probably would do this surgery again with the same doctor, as I would be very cautious on who I trust. I would only do it too if I had at least 2 months to heal. This surgery is major!
Hello, I think you look amazing!!! I Am 8 weeks post op and I have the same pain you have mentioned in all your comments. Are you already sitting on your butt without using the BBL pillow?? If so have you noticed any volume loss from sitting?

Hello dolls. I'm past my two week mark and surprisingly in pain. It's tolerable but very uncomfortable. I never thought that I would still be in pain two months past mud surgery. Lipo areas are stil very tender and sensitive. I have no feeling in the top layer of skin but have a deep muscle pain and sometimes a throbbing needle like sharp sensation. I feel like my pain has not improved since week 3. I also have lots of itching in my lipo areas as well as my butt.

I stopped waist training because it made my pain a lot worse. I also have lots of scar tissue in lipo areas which you can see on my side pic by the waist. In those areas I noticed skin decoloration as well. I stopped wearing my garment during the day and wear a very light duty one at night.

Did anyone out there experience the same amount of pain I have this far after surgery? I am so Tired of feeling this pain
Wow that's ridiculous. Did you try to contact the doc ? So sorry you are going through that smh
Love it !!!
Thanks for updating! I'm pretty sure the numbness is normal---I've had 3 C-sections and then a tummy tuck and I experienced that as well as an inner itch that you can't seem to scratch. But you should definitely follow-up with D J's office to confirm that. And be sure to ask them what you can do for the scar tissue areas. Not sure if you follow AtlantaPYT but if not, check out her review. She had BBL with Dr. J a year ago and has a lot good info on her page.
Question: Have you / did you get massages? Are you taking vitamins? These were a some of the things she swore by......but everyone is different. I hope you feel better! Hang in there!!!! You look great so is wasn't all for nothing!
I did Massages biweekly. I think it was a waste of my money. My swelling was practically gone by week 4 and the lymphatic massages are to help get rid of fruids. My therapist told me that ax recuse would help most with scar tissue so I will be starting soon. I consulted Jimersons office and they told my no cardio or loosing weight for the first year and only do light toning if anything.
Yes I'm happy with the results. I'd be very mad otherwise. 13000$ and the amount of pain and discomfort not to get good results would definitely make me furious to say the least
What is ax recuse? Prob a typo but I can't decipher? Thanks! You look amaaaazing!
Hello! You look amazing! Can you please say what ax recuse for scar tissue is?
Glad you listened to your body and stopped waist training. Sensations are normal. Pain shouldn't be this intense. May be inflammation? Have you tried Ibuprofen?
I was sore for awhile too. You are only 2-3 weeks post op,it takes a while to heal. Im 6wks,my lipoed areas are still numb. the pain gets better with time
Oops i see youre more like 9wks post...my bad.

Yes!! Love! I want your waist!
That waist is snatched!!!!
Do you contribute the corset to your snatched waist, what month do you recommend wearing one? You look the bomb.com
and I meant squeem but I just read your post above, I am considering either a corset or squeem for month 2 or 3, which is why I was asking, your waist looks so great now at only 14 days post op
Hi Tswana... I am at week 7 and started using my a queen last week. I wore it for one week and started to feel deeper pain. I decided to wait until I'm totally pain free. It shapes my body well but I feel like I need to be fully healed before trying it again. I think too because I had such a slow recovery at 6 weeks was a bit too early for me
7 weeks Tswana not 2!!!
I'm 3wks post op & my sides are still Sooooo tender & the garment hurts them
I have read a few other dolls hurt when they use the squeem
I'd definitely give it more time, our bodies went through major trauma and using trainers or clinchers so early can cause bleeding within the skin, I'd wait at least 2.5-3 months
Any updates? Are you still happy with your results?
Just posted one
