Yesterday 03.28, tuesday was my 3rd week post op. Swelling is still going down and I am feeling better and better everyday. Last monday 03.27 was my first day back to work, oh boy it wasnt easy. The nature of my job is deskjob so I sit for 8 hrs everday but I refrained to sit last monday (still trying/avoiding to put pressure on my precious, LOL) so what I did was to stand and or kneel omg I look ridiculous hahaha, I bought I chair with a narrow sit so I can straddle on a opposite direction but it wasnt easy, it hurts on my groin (I had my inner thigh lipo'ed too) so I ended up standing and or kneeling for 8 hrs last monday. Its uncomfortable and its hurts thats I try to move slow but yesterday, tuesday I feel better and yes, I still stand and or kneel for 8 hrs but it wasnt that uncomfortable like last monday. I am planning to keep doing the standing and sleeping on my stomach till i reach exactly one month since I had the procedure. who know,s If I still have the will power I might push it till 6 wks post op, hehehe, I ended up returning the chair to the store since it cause me pain than serve its purpose. Oh I forgot to mention in the past updates that I've been getting lynphatic drainage massage once a week. I feel better everytime I am done with the massage. Bruising also went down alot. By the way, the downside of standing for prolong hours causes swelling so I literally feel swelling on my stomach so I am massaging it evey night before going to bed. so far, I notice that swelling on my abdomen is area is getting less but still lumpy and have some fluids on it. I have an Ok signal to resume cardio workouts exactly one month after the procedure.

I am feeling better, thank you, A lot of swelling has come down now. Yes, I am loving my result and thinking of getting a tummy tuck since I have loose skin on my stomach but I still want to get pregnant for the last time (dear husband said no more but I still want, we have 3 girls and I am dying to have a baby boy :) )

You look great babe.. how is the fluid situation? Is it getting better? When did he drain you last?
User Avatar
June 18, 2017
thanks! last time he drained my fluid accumulation on my stomach was back in march 22nd, when i went for my f/u appt last april he did try to drain the areas where i had fluid from my march appt and there's no more. all he got was blood so we know theres no more. i think endermologie helped me to get rid of the fluids and swelling.; only thing left on me now is the excess skin in my stomach; ill be getting a tummy tuck to address the wrinkly and excess skin issue

Hi, so today, 03/19/17 i am day 12 post Lipo with BBL.. Bruising went down drastically. I am getting my energy back but I am still swollen; which is still normal during this recovery stage. I can stand, kneel and walk much longer now. Also, I weighed myself earlier out of curiosity and I lost 6 lbs from weight pre-op. What I am complaining at this time is at night time, I have the itching sensation all over my back and the back of my thighs. In some form I am happy since I know this is also normal and it means that my nerve endings are reconnecting again thats why its causing the itchy feeling but the on the other side i hate it, last night i havent slept because it was so itchy, I already took benadryl but still not working. I took a cold shower and it kinda helps but still itchy. I didnt remember how i fell asleep but anyways, my result is looking great and I am loving it. Dr Hazani is really great.

hi, my flight going home day 3 post surgery? it was ok, glad i made it through. :) it was only an hour flight so i was able to stand majority of the time during the flight. if i needed to be seated, i have the pillow dr hazani gave me and also used my arms to take off the pressure from the rest my body. i purchased the first class and chose the very first row so i have plenty of space.

Looking great!!! 1500ccs :0 that's good I only got 1320, I wanted more. My surgery with Hazani was on Monday the 20th Im still leaking a bit of fluid but still very bruised, how does your tummy feel? I feel very bloated
User Avatar
March 24, 2017
hi, thank u :)... i also wanted more but he said thats the only amount he can put on each cheeks since thats how far my skin on my butt can get stretched; i am very happy he was able to put in that amt on each cheeks, i wasnt actually expecting that much. i told myself if he can put at least 1200 on each i will be happy. :) I remembered the first words I uttered as soon as i opened my eyes were: how much did he put in???? hahaha I am glad that the nurse answered my ques. she even showed me my record. and also to my surprise when i get back to the hotel, when i looked ob my behind dr hazani wrote 1500 on each cheeks hahaha! when u look at my pics u can see the writings lol... i stopped leaking on the morning of day 2 post op. but it is a good sign that u still leak, so u will not accumulate fluid. i already accumulated fluid on my stomach he already drained my twice. first on my day 2 post op and 2nd was yest during my 2 wks post op. What you are feeling is normal. It will get over soon. Try to stay ob ur bed as much as you can, coz the more ur standing or doing sumting, u will swell quickly and u feel it coz u will ur garment and binder getting tighten

I had my massage and they did drained me a bit, which was good. I seen Dr.Hazani last night since my tummy is a bit loose he said I might retain fluid their, I did have a bit.
I want to know how my tummy is going to look once the swelling and everything goes down already!!
How does your tummy look? Are you planning on having a tummy tuck?

my tummy right now has fluids again; i aggressively massaging it twice a day (morning & night) in the morning it will be soft after massage then ill proceed with my day (i still have binder, lipofoam, garment) comes night and its all hard again; i am getting frustrated now...lol; yes i am planning to have one (TT) but i have to save leave days and money again. I am hoping next time he drains me it will be lesser but looking on my tummy right now, i am afraid its the same like before he drained me last week

We are going to retain fluid because it has no where to go, unless Dr.Hazani removes it. My incisions have closed:( yes I know what you mean makes it feel like we're really bloated.. Do you know if by the 2nd week will lose any more fat? I know I'll final results will be at the 3month period but I feel like I got to much hips lol

I AM FINALLY HOME!!!

Hello Ladies!

i am day 4 post op (BBL) today, so far everything is doing great. I saw Dr Hazani for my post op visit last thurs 03/09 on my day 2 post op. He said that I am healing perfectly. he gave me my booty pillow and stage 2 garment that same visit too.

Day 3 post op yesterday, 03/10 was the day I am scheduled to fly back to my home state. Its only 1 hr plane ride so I didnt worry too much. While we're at the pre-departure area, i dont care what people say or if they stare at me, i lay on
my stomach the whole time until its time to board. we purchased the first class seats for extra space. we were seated at the very first row so I got plenty of space to move around. As soon as the plane was in the air, I started to change position. I remain standing and at the same time practicing to sit with the booty pillow.

Late last night my brother picked up my kids from our parents house since we left them there for our trip. I finally able to see them after several days! i am so happy to see them again. I am glad they understand that mommy has booboo. Although one of my kids as soon as she arrives she came rushing and lay on my back (I was laying in my stomach on the carpet). I just said nooooo, it hurts, mom has booboo she finally let go and understand.

anyway, pain is tolerable. i expected worst but i believe everybody's pain tolerance is different.
my skin started to itch on day 2 post op, which is normal; means that nerve ending that have been severed during the lipo process has been healing and reconnecting again. I just took benadryl per Dr Hazani's approval and it went away. I believe that our patience and determination will be tested during the healing process.

From the day of surgery up until now all i want is to do is stand and or walk; i dont want to lay on my stomach since i am not used and i am not comfortable laying on that position (i tried practicing sleeping on my stomach a few weeks before the surgery, but i failed, icant sleep)

Dr Hazani refrained me to be standing and walking too much since my legs will be more swollen if i keep doing it so i follow his advice. I just lay on my stomach infront of the TV.

here my pics from the airport and today, day 4 post op
