So far my experience with Dr. Okoro's office has been fabulous! Initially, I was very nervous about the idea of doing Lipo/BBL....People make you feel so vain when it's discussed in casual conversation. They say, "You're fine, you don't need that, you are already attractive, etc." Which is their truth - but what's wrong with making improvements? I knew right away that I couldn't tell anyone, (which adds to the anxiety). How would I pull this off without anyone knowing? Once I started reading this site, I felt a LOT better. So thank you ladies for sharing. I am all set for tomorrow and I'm mentally prepared for 2 weeks of not sitting down. I just hope I'm ready for the pain. I will post my journey here daily for the first 2 weeks to share my experiences in the days following my surgery. Stay tuned.

Hello Ladies...well I had my surgery yesterday and all went fab! The staff was soooo attentive and Mr. Okoro made me feel very safe. He is such a wonderful doctor. So, now to the juicy part: Yes, it did hurt afterwards but during, I didn't feel or even hear a thing. I hired a home health nurse (Tres Belle) to pick me up and bring me home. She was great. The ride home was hard because I had to lay on my stomach on the seat which hurt my incisions. Yesterday she stayed with me and helped me change the dressings. Most of the bleeding comes from the butt crack and the back under the bra roll. I get tired & dizzy quickly. It is very hard to get out of bed because of the soreness. Taking the garment on and off also hurt. Let me know if any of you ladies have questions. So glad I did it. My butt is bootyful!!!

Glad you made it safely to the other side. Tres Belle was my nurse also she is the bomb. She will check on you every day at least 7 times aday to make sure that you are ding well. She also gave me great advice about stuff to do. Please make sure ou ge up and walk every couple of hours so that you do not get stiff. The Arnica does wonders on the swelling and brusing so make sure you take the pellets every few hours. Welcome to #TeamDrO!

Hi NYcutie! I love my nurse. She's been coming by every day to help me change my dressings and get in/out of the shower. I take the Arnica religiously. They're kinda sweet. I call em my little candies. I walk around a lot! I don't want blood clots or stiffness to set in. Thank you for all your great advice! I will not sit for 3 weeks!

Wow! So exciting to have found you 1 day post op! Considering Dr O so would love to follow your journey... Congrats

I will keep you posted. Dr O is absolutely fab! I am so glad I found him. I'm more sore today than yesterday because the lingering effects of the anesthesia was helping ease the pain. But I'm staying in front of my meds and I have a nurse. Healing well:))))

I am stronger today. I'm up, walking around & enjoying my new shape. I'm still very swollen but I'm wearing my garments 24x7 (except when I shower). I feel like I'm progressing very well. No nausea, not much drainage, very little blood and I'm slowly regaining my energy. I'm following Dr's orders to a TEE (lotsa liquids, soup, crackers, applesauce and herbal tea). I go back next Monday for my Post Op. #excited

Hey Booty how are u feeling?
July 11, 2013
I'm doing good, better than expected. Sore but healing happily. Dr. O's staff is very attentive so I feel cared for. I will be glad when I can bend at the waist. When I lie down, all my weight is on my incisions so it hurts like crazy but I just pop another pill and wait for the pain to subside.

You won't be able to bend at the waist for at least 3 weeks. You will be walking like a penguin and bent over for a while, the more u get up and walk the better it will get. Put pillows under you it will feel better.
