I am 4 weeks post opt yesterday and I'm loving it....
WORTH IT
I am 4 weeks post opt yesterday and I'm loving it. I was worried that it was losing a lot of volume but boy oh boy she's coming along really nice. Dr. J did his thang on me. I love how my waist has been snatched and booty popping. My husband loves it. The thing I'm worried about now is my appetite. It has finally returned and with a vengeance. I'm eating like I'm crazy!! I have to stop before I gain a lot of weight!!.. I still have not sat on my booty. I use my booty buddy pillow everywhere I go. I tell people that my sciatic nerve is acting up!!! Anyway RS Sistas I just wanted to give yall an update. I'm still a little sore and have numb spots on my sides and back. Slowly but surely it's getting better everyday!! Take care ladies!!

two week update with pics!!!
I missed my flight on 10/24 and had to take a later flight. I had to reschedule my post-opinion to 10/25 same day as surgery. This caused my surgery to be moved from 7:30 to 12:30. I was fine with that. The staff was amazing.
**Day of Surgery** I arrived at surgery nervous, excited, pumped and ready to go. I met with Dr J. He was very honest about my expectations. We discussed booty shapes based on my body shape. So I was excited about that. After surgery my husband and I went back to our hotel room. I had the lymphatic massage over the next three days. They were BRUTAL!!!! My surgery was on a Tuesday. On Friday I started to feel week and I didn't have an appetite. Like noooooooooooo appetite. Saturday I noticed I'm still weak and lethargic. Sunday was no better. Monday I went back to Dr. J's to have the drains removed because I was leaving on Tuesday. I could barely stand when I was in the office. Nurse J tested my blood and my hemoglobin was so low they sent me straight to the hospital and I had to receive a blood transfusion. I was in the hospital for 10 hours. I was finally released and flew home the next day. Two weeks later I feel soooooooooooo much better. I'm still tight and swollen but I feel great and I'm loving my shape. I know over the next few months my shape will get better and better and I'm looking forward to the final results. I have not sat on my butt and I'm not. I'm following my RS sisters advice but more importantly, I'm following Dr. J's advice... I will not sit for 3 months... sheesh. that's a long time but I will do it. My pictures are horrible because I did them myself. Hopefully I can get someone else to take them next time. I still need options to sitting. I stand a lot because I hate laying down. HELP!!! I return to work next week and my only option so far is the booty buddy for work.... what did you guys do for sitting at work?

Your 2 week pics looks awesome especially with you before and after comparison. I just returned from Miami today after getting my BBL done. I have a couple questions if you don't mind: how often do you wear your compression garment? Do you use any lips boards or foam in conjunction with? How did you deal with water weight? I am 6 days post op, I can definitely see the swelling going down but my left side is flatter than my right side. Honestly I am more concerned with my tummy contouring than my butt lift...lol . I too stand a lot, so much effort to lay down and get up, I only lay down when necessary! Congratulations again on you beautiful results!!!

Dr. J recommends wearing the compression garment 23 hours a day.... I take it off, shower, wash my compression garment, put it in dryer for 4 mins. max and put it back on and repeat next day. I do take it off to do a number 2. You should get a lymphatic massage for about three days straight and I think it will help with your fluid. I do not use the foam nor the board. and try taking ibuprofen or aleve to help with swelling also. but you will be swollen for about 6 weeks. be patient with results. my hips were uneven but going into week 2 they are evened out a lot. good luck!!!... and I will help you aso much as I can.

also... we have to wear the compression garment for 23 hours a day for 6 weeks and am determined 6 weeks we will have to wear it for 8 hours a day for four or 6 weeks... can't remember which one....
November 11, 2016
dang... typo.... it should say... after wearing the garments for 23 hours a day for 6 weeks you will then wear it 8 hours a day for 6 weeks.

Thanks for responding hon and thanks for the info. I have an appointment tomorrow to start my lymphatic massages, so excited because the fluid build up below my bikini line is so heavy.

post op day 3
Today is post op day 3. I had my last lymphatic massage today. Days 1
& 2 were really tough. Today has been much better. I have been up
and down and walking on my own a lot more today. I'm miserable though
because I want sleep in a different position. I find it so difficult
because I had my hips done also. If you ladies have any suggestions
about how to sleep other thank your stomach please share. I have no
appetite for some reason bUT my husband is making me lots of fluids and
lots of frui. Here are a few pics. I will post more tomorrow without the garment.
