HOW I FEEL IN REGARDS TO MY RESULTS THUS FAR#########
    I wish that my upper back was left with less fat, that way I wouldn't have the upper fat roll.

- my tummy started out fairly flat following the sx, but I noticed that the more it softened,  the more it protruded (that's why I say 'my tummy fluffed').  And when I wear different things I definitely have to hold it in to accentuate the butt more.

- also with the softening, I began to develop what appears to be mini love handles, I'm hoping it's still swelling that hasn't subsided yet. (no, I have not gained any weight...well give or take 1 pound)

-I still have the concave/indentation located on my upper buttock.

- I've developed a couple of dents on my butt cheeks.

-I'm really not down with the upper butt crack scar left by the rear drain site...I've been working on it with the Biocorneum gel.

-I have more butt then what I began with, I just wish I had booty from each and every angle, and in no matter what clothing I wear.

-my tummy is much flatter.

-the front drain site looks a lot better, it has like popped back out... earlier on, it looked like my girl had been shot with a .380 or something, so think goodness for that!

-I now have some booty, and it even jiggles y'all !!! :-)

-my butt is sooooo soft, and full feeling. :-)

-I can now wear all of the  fitted dresses and skirts that I want :-)  (sometimes I have to hold my tummy in though) 

-I walk around my sweetie wearing  little to nothing...and YOU CAN'T TELL ME NOTHING  #baddest thing walking!  he doesn't know what to do with me  y'allllll ...he always tells me how 'phat' I am and how much he lalalaloves it... I am now more confident than i have ever been when it comes to my body (although I have some things that can be tweaked/improved...I.e back fat ) and it  feels  great ladies! ;-)

I AM NOW A LITTLE OVER 4 MONTHS  POST OP###############
(the above update was a log of weekly notings that I had been keeping)


As of today, 2/4/13
 (the above portion of this update is from roughly 3 weeks ago)

-the rear drain site scar IS  improving.

-I still  experience a  burning sensation in my flanks and lower back when getting up or changing positions while lying down.

-most of the tightness in my tummy has subsided.

-still get an occasional itch on my tummy that feels like it's beneath the skin, it has improved from before though.

 Oh yea, lol I didn't tell you that I went to the skating rink this past weekend, and  black, white, and Portuguese were at this booty girl lol and a girl whom had expressed my interest in the procedure to a while back came up to me and whispered into my ear "now where did all of this come from?? I was checking out your shoes, and look up and seen all of this!" lol so with that being said I assume that it would be safe to say that....

####^^^^ALTHOUGH SHE DIDNT COME BAK AS STRONGLY AS I WOULD HAVE WISHED FOR...JACKEYY DID COME BACK. ^^^^#####

    UPLOADING PHOTOS####################
***ladies I knowww that I need to upload more recent photos, but the only way that I  can do it is to upload every single photo and video from my iPad to the desk top, and it's such a time consuming hassle since I have over 4k pics and viddys on here...I wish that I could do it directly from my phone or iPad. (I tried updating my iPad, and couldn't for some odd reason) if you guys have any suggestions please let me know...I know how important pictures are to all of us.

7 WEEKS############ Waist 30ish x butt...

7 WEEKS############
Waist 30ish x butt 43ish 
Weight 149.8 lbs  (in morning with garment)
       And 152 lbs (the following day at bedtime completely  unclothed)

 -The skin on my abdomen still gets really tight when not in garment for whatever reason.
 - I get a sensation that I will describe as either burning, or tightening (can't distinguish the difference) on my lower back when the skin is stretched due to certain movements.
 -continuing to work on my scars with the  biocorneum gel.(mentioned in review part 1)
- still haven't  worn any jeans, but tried on a pair at Dillards (size 9), and a pair at Target (merona brand sz 4)

  On Friday, 3 days short of my 6 weeks. I went to the mall to go to Fredricks to purchase a binder, and noticed that the mall had just opened a LipoExpress! I was super excited about this, so now I didn't have to order one offline in hopes that it would fit.

 I purchased  ($90) the thong garment (sz S) which has bra hooks between the legs, enabling you to unfasten for the bathroom.

 I find it more comfortable to wear this with bikini under, versus a thong...thong underwear with this = on the count of 3 lets all scream OUCH! 1..2..3...------>  (((((((OUCHHHH))))))) lol
 
LIPO EXPRESS SALE- BLACK FRIDAY#######
 I also wanted to let you guys no that one of our Bbl sisters as well as a salesperson at the store told me that on November 23rd, Black Friday...Lipo Express will discount all of there full garments, this including the "butt out" garment to $90. The thong and bikini garment will stay at $90 being that that is the everyday price.

I dont think much has changed from my last update, so that is it for now...until  8 weeks guys :-)

 Oh yea...my buddy 'ThattGirl' had her sx at 11:00a.m, I've spoken to her several times this evening, and she sounds great! Thank god for the nurse that's  helping you fish all of the Goldfish off of the floor right. Lol...happy Healing mama.

Haven't personally met Dr. Salama just yet (my appointment is in December 2012) but i'm very much so impressed with all of the kind words that his post op patients have had to say regarding, him and his team?
