I am scheduled for bbl the 27th of this month. I am traveling alone to Birmingham for procedure. I will have a care giver once I get there. Has anyone driven home immediatley after the procedure? I have a 3 hour drive back home. Any tips to help me out? Is there anything I can do to make the ride home better. And where you in a lot of pain post op?

I am not over weight but not happy with my body shape. I want to be able to wear anything and look great in it. Verus taking.hours finding.an outfit just to say im not going because I know my girls are going to be on point. I dont want a J Lo botty but just one that looks natural. My family are against cosmetic surgery so I am going thru this journey alone. I did tell my neighbor.so if something goes wrong someone we know.

Hi there, welcome and thanks so much for sharing your journey with us.
Good luck with your upcoming surgery, I hope everything goes well for you and you get the results you're looking for!
Are you driving home yourself immediately after surgery or is someone going to drive you? I haven't had the procedure myself, but it seems like you would be in pain for the drive, especially if it's 3 hours. Have you spoken to you doctor about it and gotten there advice?

I want be.driving back immediately after sx.. I have follow up visit the next Day. If i get clearance im free to Go home. Dr Will has given instructions to get memory foam pillows and a neck roll Pillow to prop under the bend of my legs and the other pillows are to sit on and prop behind my back. I cant drive longer than 45 min intervals without getting out to strecth For at least.10 min. Dr states he has had patients to travel a Day or so short distance afterwards without a problem. He also told me it shouldnt affect my grafting because i want be putting pressure directly.on my bottom and im getting most my injections In hip and top of butt.

I'm glad you got the doctors advice, it's really important they know things like this so they can advise you on what's best and safest for you. I'll definitely be following your updates!
Do you have any before photos you would feel comfortable sharing with us?

Looking at blogs on this site has been informative,heartwarming and scary. As time gets closer its becoming real. Realizing this is a major surgery and anything can happen. I really have to stay prayed up. Part of me feels this is.very selfish of me to put my Life on the Line For Beauty when i have a 13 year old that depends soley on me. Without me i dont know who would raise him. Its def something i have been dweeling on.

Got my packet In mail today with all my Care instructions. Its a book about 11 pages Long with 3 pages alone of medicines you shouldnt take pre or post ops. It is very important you take multivitamins daily as well as vitamin C twice daily to help you heal quicker. Very important to schedule lymphatic drainage massages within 3 to 5 days post op. I have found a certified Lisc Nurse practioner/ therapist at home to do mine. If anyone wants to knoww if they should be taking a certaim drug or vitamin just pm me . I saw some post were complaining of excessive itching at incesion site. My patient packet recommends ice pack.For it

One Day away from sx. As i sit In the lobby of dr. Office waiting For my preop consultation i am nervous as hell. There are two young ladies waiting as well. We get to tlkg n i ask one of the ladies what she.doing.here her body was banging. She was there For her friends preop ,she revieved bbl 6 months ago. Ok if Dr. Hedden can do my body the same justice.a he did hers im good. I also suggested he ask his clients to share there journey on real self because it would help his.biz not as if he needed.help by looking at his elegant facility. Her Friend is scheduled For bbl on the 4th of next month. My nerves has calmed alot just talking and listening to someone who has already gone thru my journey under the same hands. I wa given my prescriptions today as well. Z pack, loratab, phenegran . All were filled at CVS pharmacy up the street from my hotel which is exactly 3 min from dr. With my insurance my meds were $45.00. Cant beat that. I recieves my dr excuse from him as well. I guess the next time you guys hear from me i Will be on the other side

Good luck with your surgery! I am considering Dr. Hedden for my BBL, as well. He did some work for a friend of mine so I trust his expertise. Please let me know how your surgery goes. I want to schedule mine for the summer!
