23 Looking to Get Rid of my Weight Gain - Austin, TX

I started this journey very spontaneously. Gained about 50 pounds in the past 5 years and I'm sick of it. Tried dieting, lost 20 pounds but gained it back. About 3 weeks ago, I looked into some surgical options and the BBL seemed like a good fit. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Franco and set my surgery that day. I'm 4 days away and I'm SO excited. I'm starting to get a little nervous though. I'm really struggling with sleeping on my stomach. I think I'm dreading that the most.

So I got out of surgery Monday afternoon and it is Friday evening. This has been the most painful thing I've ever done. For the last four days I really wasn't sure if all of the pain was worth it. But today, I put on a tight dress and it looks AMAZING. I am so blown away from my results. Planning on posting a picture in the next few days.

I added inner thigh lipo to my BBL procedure and I'm not sure if I should have. My legs are so swollen and purple. It is very uncomfortable and not fun to see. I am pretty sure my thighs are bigger than my waist at the moment. The cankle struggle is real. As soon as the swelling goes away I believe my healing will be smooth sailing. Wish i purchased compression leggings before so I guess I'll just suffer.

Pictures to come!

I've noticed some slight reduction in my thigh swelling but my calves and cankles are still going strong. I definitely don't think I should have done the inner thigh lipo. There is just not enough difference. Maybe that will change as the swelling goes down.
