7 Months Post-Op!!!

They say once you start it's easier to do. Well...I am now ready for a BBL. I have been doing my research and want Dr. Moises Salama to do perform my BBL; however he is on the other side of the country. You cannot sit on your butt for 8 weeks,..so how will I fly back home on the plane. I cannot stay in FL that long. I left a voicemail message for him asking if he would consider setting aside a few days to come to the west coast to perform procedures. I pray that he considers it. We will see! I will book an appointment for the first day he is here!!!

7 Weeks PO - Hello my fellow tummy tuck sistahs! I am 7 weeks post op now and still happy with my results. I am still swelling pretty bad after work and after working out (even walking). I know this is normal so I just go with the flow. I started packing my belly button with gauze because it seemed to shrink when I didn't. Has anyone else had this happen? I need to keep my belly button open because I plan to get it pierced when I hit the 4 month mark. My PS will pierce it for me :D. One thing I am disappointed about is that I have not found a bikini that I like and that fits my new shape :/ Yes, I have ordered from Victoria's Secret but I have not found anything yet. Trying on bikinis have made me want a breast augmentation now. Maybe in 2013.

I still wear my compression garment when I am home; it helps with the swell hell. I stopped wearing my CG to work because it flattens my butt and that's not a good look. LOL! Well that's all for my 7 week update. Prayers going out to all those going in tomorrow and happy healing to those who are already on the flat side! Take care :D

4 Weeks PO - Hey ladies! Friday I made it to four weeks post op. Went to a follow-up appointment with my PS and everything is going great with my recovery. She said that I am looking fabulous. I still have some swelling but overall my results are wonderful. The best news of all was that I received the green light to start back working out! Woo Hoo!!! She told me to start off slow by walking and if I go to the gym to listen to my body and don't over do it. She also warned me that once I begin working out to expect lots of swelling. I can work out with my compression garment if I choose to. Also, she said I no longer "have to" wear my compression garment every day; but I can if I choose to. I feel more comfortable with it because my stomach feels tight and swollen when I walk for a period of time w/out it. I will gradually ween myself off from it. LOL. Well, that's it for my 4 week update! HAPPY HEALING TO ALL; AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT! :D
