I got my procedures done on the 11th. I have been on his waiting list for over a year. I'm so glad I waited for him. I love my results. Recovery is tough. If I could shake this nausea I would be doing a lot better. I'm not doing too bad though. The first day I had a bowel movement. The antibiotics have messed my stomach up though. Now I have diarrhea.??. I knew recovery was gonna be tough, I expected it but still I think I underestimated it. That first day, I needed help to wipe my ass! Ugh!! But I had a really good friend to help take care of me. My husband is here with me too but I wasn't sure he could handle it. I know he would have done it, if he had to but I'm glad my friend was there to help out. She left today so now it's just me and my honey. I'm rambling because real self wouldn't let me post because I didn't have enough content to let me apologize. Oh, I'm staying at the Doubletree Grand Hotel. I got a 2 bedroom condo with a full kitchen, washer and dryer, bay view. It is beautiful. I'll take some pics of it later. I'm really funny about where I lay my head so I didn't skimp on the hotel at all. Ask me what you want. I'm sorry my review may not be the best. Just wanted to help those like y'all reviews have helped me.

Congratulations sweetie you look amazing! Can you tell me if you had to pay in full to get on the waiting list?

No just 1k
February 14, 2016
She's right. Just 1k. But I paid just to get a consult. I already knew I wanted him to do my surgery. If I had waited it would have pushed my surgery date out to 2017.

That's his hustle.

I'm also loving your results I'm also doing the bbl but with tummy tuck mm1 however the wait time is the same for everyone 1year longer you take to do the deposit the longer the appointments move on...as for laying down I was told by his staff that the only laying down is to be done on the side and not for too long as to not get fluid build up which leads to scaring.
What I'm interested in is why did you stay in hotel rather than RH and what was the cost difference ?
March 1, 2016
I am very particular about where I stay. I just didn't think I would be comfortable in a setting where there were other recovering people. I guess everybody has their preference. I don't know the cost difference because a RH was never an option I looked into. I knew from the start I wanted to stay in a comfortable hotel, close to the beach where my husband had plenty to do during the times I couldn't go out with him. It came in handy too because on the days I couldn't leave he could still walk the surrounding area for food for us and he was able to see the surrounding area still. The first 3 days he was confined to the room with me but day 4 I felt better. Day 5 I got my drains out and was able to walk Collins Ave with him. Before day 5 I think I got tired just walking from the bed to the bathroom. lol. It was just a personal decision to stay in a hotel and honestly I don't think I saved any money from that decision but then again, I wasn't really looking at that aspect of it. Dr. Miami told me to lay from side to side and change sides every 90 mins. Honestly I would go numb after about 30 mins or so, so I would change when it became uncomfortable. I don't think I made it to 90 mins. The funny thing is when the nurse visited me on day 2, she told me to sit on my boppy with my feet elevated. Told me as long as I sat on the boppy that I wouldn't compromise my results. I think I alternated between those 3 positions. I haven't noticed any volume loss either. I'll try to post some updated pics today.

Congrats and rest up babe, you will be feeling wayyyyy better tomorrow. It's a magical day. 4 days post. I hope you continue to love your results when the swelling goes down and you can enjoy the view! Rest up.

Thank u!! It seems like the nausea is getting better today. I know that the key to the nausea is eating but it's hard when u nauseated. Lol. Hopefully today will be better.

You look great !!! I'm usually stalking his snap chat lol I'm surprised I missed this one did you use care credit or anything how was your payment arrangement ?
March 1, 2016
Thanks! I used money I had saved up so no payments. I did use Care Credit for my deposit of $1000. I remember getting a call from one of the girls telling me they don't use CareCredit anymore and that I could use this other financing company but I can't remember the name.

Hi,
looks like you're healing well and you look great!
February 14, 2016
If you don't mind me asking how much are you paying for the hotel and how long are you staying?
March 1, 2016
I paid a total of $2500 for my hotel BUT I went during Valentines and Presidents Day weekend so the hotel costs were extremely elevated and I stayed in one of the biggest rooms they had. I think the normal rate for the condo I rented is $200 per night but they have smaller 1 bedroom condos that still have the full kitchen and washer and dryer. I stayed a total of 9 days.

Still loving my new shape

Joy06
The pics really don't do this new booth any justice. I can't see any real volume loss and I am back at work and I sit most of the day. I did have them give me a new stand up workstation but I don't even use it most of the day. It is funny me lugging this boppy pillow to all my meetings. I just told them the pillow helps my back. Lol. I love my new shape but still have swelling. I can't wait until I am cleared to start my workouts again.

Doll, you look fantastic!!!! Please tell me again: you've been sitting directly on your booty (using a boppy as cushion) at only 2 weeks post and have no volume loss? That is great news!!!!!
March 2, 2016
Thank u!! Yup, I sit all day at work. I do move around on my boppy a lot so I'm not just dead weight on my boppy, but im I'm sitting. With the boppy backwards most of my weight ends up on my thighs anyway. I do drag my boppy with me everywhere tho. Lol. It's kinda funny at work. I've stuck to its a pillow for my back and they seem to believe so. Lol.

LOL - it's none of their biz anyway. This news means the fat cells graft sooner than a lot of us think and for me, I won't have to wait a full month before sitting. Hooray!!!!!!!!!

You look wonderful !!!
I love your results.
I go this year to him I could have had an earlier date but wanted to time everything properly not to mention financially.
How is your scaring under your butt cheeks ? What are you using to help the scars?
I am taking three weeks off from work because like you I work sitting down.
March 3, 2016
Thank u! Under my butt cheeks the scarring is almost gone. The scar in the crack of my ass is a little slow to heal. That's where he had a drain at so I'm guessing that's why. It's healing and the hole is closed but it just looks a little dark right now. The two scars I have on each of my sides in the front are healing well too. I'll try to take a pic later today so you can see. I am using Organic Rose Hip Oil on the scars now. I just started so I don't know how it's going to work on these. My mother in law had surgery and she has been using it and it's been working wonders on her scars so I'm optimistic.
