Ladies today marks the three weeks exact and all I have to tell you is that beside this seroma that I am dealing with, I'm getting to be more and more myself. At this point, I feel no pain well since the second week mark really. The only thing is at time I feel tingling sensation in my buttock or the hips (rather rare but as of now while writing this I feel the sensation), I wonder is it because the fat cells are fighting to survive, it would make sense...
Basically since before my one week mark I stopped taking the percs so I just felt sensations in my buttocks, I'm used to that right now and now it is much better.
After three weeks ladies, you will still have stiffness in the abdomen, tightness, swelling in some part of the body. Personally while I feel pretty good, if I try to stretch my body a certain way or bend down too low or too rapidly, I will feel pain. I also feel some soreness in my back still. My vayjayjay has gone down but it is still swollen.
I have a new love for tight fitted clothes now and I my booty hugs them very well. It is not that big but it's nice and very noticeable in certain clothing fabric.
At this point what can I say to you ladies.... enjoy seating as much as you can before bcoz you will miss it for a while post op. Now next Monday is my fourth week so according to the office I can seat on it but not according to many bbl profiles that I have come accross(many say to wait for 6 weeks). While I will be seating probably the week-end that will follow my 4th week, I will be very mindful of it and try to avoid seating as much as possible until my 6 or even 8th weeks.
Anyways next week I will give my measurements and post new pics for the 1 month anniversary ( Oct. 1st is my booty anniversary by the way) LOL!!
I wear the new lycra garment everyday and night, during day I take sometimes a hour or so break from it. I stopped wearing foam becoz my back looked smooth but I think I'm gonna use it more.
Seroma? I have a number from Ruben to contact of a surgeon in NY where I reside, so will do tomorrow. Also went to my doctor and I'm trying to see if I could get it aspirated from them, I have a referral will call tomorrow and will keep you girls informed. This coming Wednesday will make it a week since I saw the seroma and I need to address this or get it aspirated ASAP!!!
Be Blessed Ladies and remember to keep God first.... Good Night!

@Labelle26 - how are you? its Ruben. Just wanted to touch base with you and see how your recovery is going. When you have a chance can you call me to the office? or you can email me at rubensalama@epsmiami.com. I appreciate it, and hope you had a great weekend.

2-3 months in your butt will soften and grow. taking on a new shape, fluffy. if u look at some reviews butts may go down at first and then pow its fluffed
October 23, 2012
I believe it's when the buttocks soften up and becomes bouncy or when the ass starts to jiggle. Correct me if I'm wrong ladies.... It is a positive thing to look up to during recovery; the ass looks nice and round and soft at the same time:)

I was reading the part where you mentioned the tingling feeling in your butt, and that feelings is the nerves in your butt coming back to normal. From reading other girls reviews my understanding is that it is like when you get your gums numbed up. After the Dentist does his thing you go home still feeling numb, but hours later little by little you start to feel tingles relieving the numbness. ... Hoping for you that seroma gets aspirated soon, so you can fully enjoy your results without having to worry!!

Thanks girl!!! I appreciate the info:)

good luck with your recovery efforts from Sandy. Hope all is well with the BBl recovery too.

Well thanks but hope I have no complication with all these lumps surfacing in my body here and there. I can't wait to see a doctor next week to be re-assured that I'm fine...

I am giving you my measurements taken as of yesterday:
Bust (38), Waist (33.5), Hips(44). So I am a petite 5'4'' and this is my current measurement. The next time I will update measurement is on my 1 month mark (Nov. 1st). I am aiming to have my waist at least 28'' (even better 26'') and hopefully my hips will stay the same or 45'' (the bust is just fine).
Girls what do you think will be the perfect measurement for me???
For now I am mostly concerned about my health, my well being so I need to address the seroma issue so I will focus on that and pray to God that there are not serious complication.
God Bless my sisters and make sure you take good care of yourself before and after surgery:)

I smiled when I read the part about you walking to the store and looking so good in those tights...that is awesome. I have two seromas, I went to the hospital today to see if they would aspirate them for me...read my update regarding that. (I have the same cold feeling, and I have received 8 massages since sx, either you're going to get them or you aren't. We will be fine :)
October 17, 2012
Hey, Wow you are dealing with seroma. I believe I have it too so I need to know for sure, I probably have to go hospital tomorrow sometime. I might call you later today to ask you a few questions. Thanks for being so positive and I'm going to stay calm and deal with this:)
October 18, 2012
None of these doctors call you, it sucks. You. Just a number. They do a good job but that's it. It's on to the next one. I hope you are ok
October 18, 2012
It is true... I know the doctors are busy but I do believe that someone from office should give a follow up call after 2 weeks or so to find out if everything is ok, that will go a long way. I still have that pouch and will wait because I have a massage tomorrow, I want to see what happens and go from there. I spoke to Ruben and he told me to send a pic, I need to do that soon. Thanks girlie...

I looked very good in my tights today, I even walked to the store nearby and felt so sexy. I could feel the attention from guys staring. My bootie was popping and I looked good, so good in those tights....
I got home, ate, rested.... I felt a little sensitive in my abdomen. I touch my right side and I feel a pouch. I touch the left side it's fine... The masseur told me that I was ok, and I don't understand why I have this just the day after my big massage after returning home. I said to myself: "it is probably nothing... let's see how I feel later"
I watched the presidential debate with my friend who came over and he also saw that I had a pouch. It feels like I have built up water in it, I feel a funny sensation. I am getting a bit concerned, because I don't want any complications but it seems like I am facing a seroma!!!!
I was just feeling my stomack, I feel some lumpy, hard, my stomach is super hard.... I feel some cold sensations. Now I'm trying to remain calm... I was told by both Eileen and the masseur from yesterday that I'm doing great, no built up fluid so now I don't understand what is going on at all....
I just don't want to deal with this stress but if it that I have to deal with it. I will call office tomorrow and I probably will have to see a doctor if this doesn't go away soon.
My back ( a portion of it) feels sore to the touch, my stomack is hard as rock. I drink a lot of water, I make sure I eat properly. I have plenty of rest. I am now only taking my iron every morning. Girls if you have any advice please let me know what you think I should do...
All I have to say about the office staff is that they do not call to know how patients are feeling after such a drastic surgery (or should I speak for myself). I just feel that someone should have the decency to call and find out about recent surgery patients, definitely if they live out of state. It shouldn't be just about the money, that will really show how the office staff care!!! They will hear from me tomorrow for sure.... Girls keep me in your prayers for a prompt recovery. Good Night!
