So Excited! Getting TT and BBL Done Tomorrow - Atlanta, GA

October 27, 2016

Congratulations! Did he tell you the position to sleep since you're having both the TT and bbl?

October 31, 2016

Hi Alleycat4, I've been sleeping on both my sides and sitting on a hoppy pillow. I finally sat up todayZ felt much better but still in lots of pain and discomfort.

October 31, 2016

Praying for healing and strengthening for you. I know your results will be great. Is the boppy pillow working? I purchased one for short sitting. Was thinking about ordering the bbl pillow. Feel better soon. I have 11 days until it's my turn.

Hi Alleycat, I'm going to read your profile to see what you are having done. I feel so much better today. I was having a strange sensation in my head all night. Not a headache just a sensation.. felt otherworldly (it is halloween after all, lol). The boppy helps alot. Are you having your surgery locally done or away from home? I had to fly from Philly to ATL so I'm going stir crazy at the hotel but I'm just happy that I feel better.

Wishing you a successful surgery and a quick recovery.

Thank you. Happy to hear that your feeling better. I'm having surgery locally. Having a TT and BBL. Dr Cochran is my surgeon. He didn't think I needed the BBL, but I just want a little extra lift. Soooo nerves and excited at same time. Will keep you updated. Continue to feel better and be safe.

Oh I read great things about Dr. Cochran. I think locally is a great idea. Can t wait to see your pics. I have a nasty cut on my belly which looks like is caused by an allergic reaction to the gauze tape so don't want to gross anyone out with a cut on top of my incision. It should heal in a few days.

Just checking in to see who you are doing after the surgery?

October 31, 2016

Hi Kimmers, it's with Dr. Wright Jones. It s been a tough four days. I hired a really nice nurse to stay with me at the hotel for the first 48 hours. I did some walking today. So sore and burning from the incision.

The first week is the worst, no doubt. That burning feeling will ease up soon. It does hurt:( Hang in there girlie.

Hello,

I am scheduled to have the same procedure on the 16th. I'm very nervous. Dis you have drains? Did the pain meds help with the pain? Have you gone back to regular activities?

Thanks for your insight

Is it normal to not hear from your PS post-op?

vixenmartineNovember 1, 2016

I read so many rave reviews about my PS' bedside manners however I only saw him before surgery and never heard from again. I'm on my 6th day now and I don't live in this town. I just hope and pray that all is well with my body but everyday seems to get better so I m hoping that it is.

You should have heard from him by now. Everything will be alright. How long will you be ATL?

November 1, 2016

I see him on Thursday and then head back home. It s been w long week. How are you doing? Excited?

November 1, 2016

I don't know if I'm more excited about the surgery, or just having time off work. Lol. When you get a chance and feel up to it. Post some pictures.

November 3, 2016

We want pictures, we want pictures...lol

November 3, 2016

Lol, I m attaching a pic in the new update. I will attach more pics as soon as my wound starts to heal.

November 3, 2016

:) My PS told me not to post or show pictures until I'm 2 weeks so I should be patient huh.

November 4, 2016

It makes sense as I'm swollen and have a nasty allergic cut on my tummy from the tape. I will post it anyways though.

November 4, 2016

That's what's up!! You looking good,Day by Day;)

I actually have noticed that with a lot of these surgeons. I work in the medical field myself and I feel there is no excuse. You can call to verify my post op appt but can't call to check on me the day after surgery. You are not alone in being concerned about this.

One week followup

vixenmartineNovember 4, 2016

I can't believe it's been a week already. I was just thinking yesterday that someone else is being rolled into the surgery room just as I was last Wednesday. I saw Dr. Jones today before heading back home and he was sweet as usual. He said I looked good (and I do, lol). My tummy is tight af. I feel like I'm about to be split in half. I can't explain the feeling but it's quite uncomfortable. It's not painful though. I notice that more I walk the less tight I feel and then I get excited and think my tummy is getting loose and then it tightens up again. LOL. I will definitely start going for long walks when I get home. Belly and booty both look amazing. Dr. Jones is a genius if he can give me a booty as I had noassatall disease. It's not a big ghetto booty but just sexy and right with a hump and now I have hips too (hips do not run in my family so we are all tall and lanky black women). I've posted a photo but disregard the ugly cut on there as it's from my allergic reaction from the tape. The good news is that Dr. J. says it's very rare so don't worry about getting that ugly cut on your beautiful belly as I have weird luck. Maybe I will win the lottery next. LOL. Good evening

You look great! Have a safe return home and keep us updated on your progress. Best wishes.

November 4, 2016

Thanks AC4, have you decided if you are getting the booty done too? The way I understood it from Dr. J is that is the best time to do it as they can use alot of the fat from your TT. It's a one shot deal. On the flip side the pain is double the amount but it's not for long though.

November 4, 2016

Thanks for the encouragement! Yes I will be doing the booty also. Might as well go for it. What kind of compression garment are you in? Is it the one with buddy out?

November 4, 2016

I can send you a photo of it. It s the one I was given at the hospital. As soon as I get home I will get more compression garments and scar creams and all that fun stuff.

That s great about BBL for you. I only read good things about Dr. Cochran.

November 4, 2016

Thank you. Will update soon! Be safe.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
Did he add fat to your hips?

November 4, 2016

He added fat to my butt and during the process contoured my hips.
