Campos 7 weeks post ops! New pics!!

I am 7 weeks post op. I am feeling well and loving my body more and I appreciate and thankful that I am blessed with an uneventful healing process. I am still wearing my garment but im lazy and dont wear it until I go to bed. Most of my swelling has gone down, but Im definitely still swollen. I was wearing my boots the other day, and I couldn’t zip it all the way up because ankle is still a little swollen. But I am so pleased with my shape and its making me feel more womanly than ever. Everyone around me is noticing my new shapelier body but does not know I had work done (I hope they don’t know!). My results look very natural like I was born with wide hips and a small waist. My butt as of 7 weeks isn’t as bubbly as it was before. It now has that natural slope to it, which I like, but at the same time I don’t because I miss that perfect round bubble. This healing process has been such an emotional rollercoaster. One day I love my body, the next day Im nitpicking. I will have to say though, that I wish my body stayed the way it did from week 3 to week 5. Starting at week 6 I start noticing my bad habbits starting to show on my body. But when it comes down to this whole thing, I am so very glad I did this. My measurement before this was something like: 36-32ish-36ish. Right now im at 36-27-39.5. At the rate of how my booty is shrinking, I wish my waist would go down even more, but that might not happen because I have a wide rib thing going on.

I didn’t order a second stage garment, which I probably should, but what I have been doing is wearing the squeem over my garment. I was wearing the small, and now I can button the first notch of the xs vest without the foam or board. I only wear the board at night when im sleeping because although it is small, it is so uncomfortable and I cant bend with it on. I love my shape with the squeem on. With it on, my waist is almost at 25 inches.

Now, I should have been a good girl and follow all the instructions. Because if I have been doing all that, im sure my butt would still be a little bigger. I have been eating like CRAP. Burger, pizza, ice cream, cakes, pasta. All that plus more. I know, I know - but I apparently do not know how to say no too junk food. Im gaining back a little weight toward my stomach. Im sure if I was eating healthy I wouldn’t have this problem. And also, this is bad, but I picked up smoking again. I know this is bad bad, but I have been smoking for a while, and generally need a smoke after a hard day at work. And I have been sitting by day 3. Forget the two weeks thing for me, I just couldn’t do it. With my legs being super swollen, I had to elevate it so that meant I had to sit on my ass. I don’t sit for long periods of time, but I do sit.

Overall, everything is good, but of course, being a perfectionist, there are some imperfection that bothers me a little bit. For instance, my belly is a little uneven. You cant really tell until I point it out, but it seems like one side of my stomach is reattaching to my muscles rather well, and the other side is a little pudgy. I do not believe it’s a seroma, because I cannot feel any liquid inside. This uneveness just started last week, because the weeks before that my stomach was healing quite evenly. I don’t know if this is due to me being lazy about wearing my garment and board. I still got some hard spots on the side if I run my fingers really hard on the side. I have been using the Wahl hand massager and it is softening up those lumps out really well.

My stomach has some sagginess to it when I sit down or bend over, but really its inevitable as I have tons of stretch marks on my stomach, so I know it wont be super flat. But when I stand up straight, my stomach looks fine and beautiful. Btw, I really wish I can post a pic of my stomach, but I actually have a huge tattoo in that area that I can’t block out because you wont be able to see anything then. But I would say that this stomach that I have now is wayyyyyy better than what I had before. I love staring at it, its so small compared to my previous wide waist.

I don’t know if any other campos girls notice this, but underneath my butt, like on the bottom crease near kiinda close to my cooch, it looks like I have two tiny scars now. I just noticed this last week too when I was bending over. I don’t believe Dr. C injected through that sight because there were no open wound there. I don’t know that the rubbing from my larger bossom had caused this. Also, Dr. C did not lipo aggressively on my upper back. I still have tons of upper back fat, like toward the bra. I am a little sad because he did say he was going to do it, and I am more than sure that he did, but he didn’t attack it like he did with my waistline. I noticed that in his other clients too( the ones I have seen in real life), that their upper back isn’t lipo very aggressively. I can tell that he did lipo my upper back because it has that same sensation as my stomach.



Dr. Campos. I think he does a phenomenal in contouring the female body. Even with all the swelling going down, I still have an hourglass shape. My before picture really did not show how straight, and almost inverted triangle I look when im striped naked. I don’t know how he does it, but I am curvy now. My booty is still pretty big, but I don’t think its massive. It just, looks plumped and round, a bit bigger than what I had before. I hear all the time he is the big booty master, but *I* personally do not think he gives massive, BIG, donks. Or maybe I feel this way because he stuffed the most he could in me, and its not a crazy bigass shelf, which btw, was not what I was looking for. it’s just not a donk - I noticed this right away a day after surgery, because you can generally tell how your body will look. So, if someone wanted asses that looks like Dr. J’s work, I don’t think Dr. Campos will deliver that ba-dunk-ka-Donk, especially if you have tightness going on in that area. But if you want that crazy hourglass shape, he is your man. I didn’t have a measuring tape when I was down in tj, but Im pretty sure I was at least a 42 because when I got home that first week and a half, I was measuring 41 ½. I sure shrank a lot since then, but whatevs. I still love looking at my shape. One thing I do regret not doing, cuz now I will never know, is that I should have given dr. campos wishpics from the sides. I only gave him the hourglass shape pics, but not the projection pics I wanted. Not sure if that would have made any difference.

His office definitely needs to improve on their responses, consistency, basically everything. They are sweet in person, but sweet needs to do better. Im surprise to know how many clients he gets without having to advertise a single penny- he is all words of the mouth business. I hope those girls in the office read more about how they are doing. I was happy with hannia being more helpful with responding, but that have seem to have died down too. I have been contacting her personally with some questions, and she hasn’t responded at all. She would call to do a follow up check up, which is really sweet and it shows that their office is trying - but to not respond to my emails is unprofessional. Im quite disappointed, and I don’t blame girls who reconsider going to Campos because of his office.

Club med is so wonderful, and it is sad to hear that campos is no longer taking clients that is thinking of staying at club med. Don’t quote me on this, but this is what I have been reading. They really are not that far from his office, maybe a 15 minute drive. Shoo, if I was staying at the hotel around his office, it would have taken me that long just to walk to his office. Whoever said it only takes 5 minutes to walk there must be superwoman, because after surgery, that is the last thing I want to do - walk that longass blocks to his office. It’s close, but it aint thaaat close. Anyways, I find myself missing club med a lot. Those ladies were so special and I miss them like my own family. If im ever in the area again, I will definitely visit them. At one point, Selena and I were crying from laughter because of all the jokes we were making.

Okay, I feel like im really rambling on and on. There are a few things I need to touch base on, but that’s for next time then. As Im reading over this update, I cant help but feel there is a negative vibe to it. Maybe because today isn’t my best day. But I do want to say that I am so happy with my surgery. It has given me a huge boost in my confidence. I really feel like a new woman. There really is no way exercise alone can give me these results. Im just thrilled to be healthy and looking goooooood!!!

a question to the vets out there, what do you feel about the board? im almost at my 2 week mark, and i notice that is when most start wearing it. Im contemplating on buying a board, and hopefully it will make my stomach look less lipoed, even though it is fairly flat. Do you think that the board will really really help with that? or just the massages help with that?

Okay, im 10 days post op. I left Tj on my 8th day, but I stayed a total of 9 days there. I will post what I can remember, I kind of regret not writing everyday to document my journey, so now I have to go by memory.

Day 1 post op: So a few hours after sx, I was napping, but woke up and walked around and hung out just fine. Apparently I was doing very well according to everyone at club med, because they see a lot of people going thru surgery and they all rest hours after sx, and here I am, waddling around the house all bored and all. Im sure it was the anesthesia. But at this point, my vajayjay was swollen like the size of an apple, but one lip was bigger than the other. SOOOO deformed looking. Imagine putting dough into a tube(like a bathroom toilet roll thingy) and pushing it out to one end. It will look round and weird trying to squeeze out. I know, weird analogy, but trust me, it was gross!!! Susanna and Selena and I had a good laugh at how weird and swollen my vajayjay was. (its still ugly right now btw, just not as gross!) oh, and my face starts swelling at this point too. I looked like a fat Chinese kid who got my face beat into the ground. Super not cute!!! Oh, so I almost forgot, my the nurse weight me before sx, it says I was 132lbs…which I thought was strange since at home mine said I was about 140lbs. After sx I went up to 145lbs. But now that im back, I checked again and it is still 145lbs. So both scales must be right.

Laying down is really annoying. My body was super tight and stiff, and I just could not get comfortable with it, and also, my whole chest was bruised so it hurted laying on it. But I had no other choice. Going to bed was a chore! I did not get any sleep. I would close my eyes, and wake up half an hour later. This went on alll night long, so I really didn’t sleep. What a pain in the ass. Getting up to go pee was a hassle too cuz I was moving at the rate of a turtle. You definitely have to use your hands a lot to get up. So girls, make sure you do those pushups! Everyday to get up from bed, you literally have to do girl push ups to get out of bed. I also took a shower, with selena helping me. I did not feel dizzy at all. But the first time taking off the garment and seeing my body, I cried a little on the inside because of how beautiful my body looks. I just stood there in awe, that this is now my body. I-LOOK-[RS bleep]-HOT!!!! My stomach is flat, not even a lump or saggy skin (cross my fingers it stays this way). I was expecting to be super lumpy and skin to be saggy everywhere because I had so much fat in my gut. Dr Campos did good, reaaaallll good.

Day 2 and 3 are basically the same as day 1, but with day 3 just a little bit more stiff. I was doing pretty good, just lounging around the house, and cat napping whenever I wanted. I liked sleeping on the couch in the living room so I was there a lot. I am also draining a lot. On day 3, I woke up stiffer than normal, but thank goodness I had my first lymphatic massage. Selena took me to Mari-Paz, the masseuse, and it was about 45 mins. She massaged in circular motion on my thights, and then stomach. Then she would have me lay on my side and she would massage the side as well, and then she had me sit up and she massaged the back. It was a very strange feeling. Skin was numb but sensitive at the same time, so to the touch it felt weird. There really isn’t a word to discribe how it feels. It did not hurt, just a little uncomfortable, and im ticklish so that doesn’t help. But I just layed there quietly since mari-paz doesn’t talk much because she doesn’t speak English too much. The massage room had this beautiful olive color and Journey was on, so I was A-Okay. I didn’t take any pain meds for this either, but I didn’t really need it.

After the massage, we went back to club med, and then we all went out to eat at the spot susanna likes to take her guests to. Apparently they had really good lobster, but since im so paranoid about not eating crustaceans after anything traumatizing done to my body (its an asian thing I think), so I stuck with something lighter. I didn’t have much appetite. Barely ate these days, and it was rare cuz I grub All The Time. I eat like I will not see food tomorrow, so it was weird to eat so little. Its important to eat something with all the pills I was taking.

Day 4 and 5 still the same. At this point I can take shower by myself. I had my first bowel movement on day 4. It came right out. I think eating papaya and more fruit really help with my movement. It was annoying to have to go do the dooty, because I would have to take off my garment to do it. So it took like 15 minutes every time I poo. It was like the event of the day. Hahah. Day 5 was probably my worse and I don’t know why. I woke up not too great, and decided to have a light breakfast and take one tramadol. I guess that was my mistake because I really wasn’t in pain, just stiffed and fed up, so I decided to take one. For the rest of the day, im feeling nauseous, couldn’t eat, felt like shiet, and just full mode depressed. I decided to stop taking my vitamedica pills because I really did not want to put anything in my body at this point. The Worse Day Ever! Glad its over with. Went to bed and hoped for the best. BTW, by day 4 and 5 I can sleep a little better. I would sleep for 4 hours, and wake up go to pee, and then go back to sleep. Its weird that I naturally just wake up every 4 hours, and my body just tells me, get up and walk to the bathroom. Im normally really lazy and would hold my pee when I do need to pee, but after this sx, whenever my body says wake up, I automatically wake up and get up without thinking about it. I was also waking up early too. Like 6am which for me is unbelievable because I normally wake up at noon or 1pm. But as soon at that clock hit 6am, im up and about.

Day 6, 7 Im feeling a lot better at this point. My butt has soften up just a little bit, bruises slowly going away, and my face isn’t as blown up. My vajayjay still big tho. But not as big. I notice that my right side is swelling a little more, like its not as narrow as it was, and also my right hip has gone down just a little too. But this is normal because your body heals differently so for one side to go down sooner is normal. It says so in the instruction that campos gave me. But the difference isn’t too noticeable, but you can still tell in my pics. Sleeping is getting better, maybe 5 to 6 hours at once. And Im waking up later, waking up at 8am consistently.

I had my post op with Dr. Campos on day 7, it was short and sweet. I was in the room and about to change into the robe, when Campos walked in and admired his work on me. He shook my hands and was eager and happy to see my hourglass figure. He was checking out my waist and commenting how small it was. The man was proud of his work! I was like, “yeh, yeh, I look really good, I gotta change into my robe“. So he dashes out to give me privacy. All I was really thinking was….slooooww down doctor. I need to get naked, but you can most definitely stay and watch me take off my clothes, I’ll be more than happy to give you a show and we can play doctor and patient. Bow Chika boww woowwwwww. Hahah just kidding. Kind of. After I changed into robe, he came back in and I took off my robe and he looked at me closely. He said my hips were beautiful, and I thank him for giving them to me. I had a bunch of questions but I totally forgot to ask most of them. He took out my stitches but I was still draining a lot so he couldn’t do anything about it. That pretty much summed up my appt with him. The nurses outside the room were saying something to him, and off he went that was the last time I saw him. No goodbyes or anything. You can tell that once he has something on his mind, hes on his way to it and nothing will hold him back. Its really endearing actually cuz you can just see him think. Then I went to get my massage. I got a massage everyday at this point. You normally would go to the clinic to get your massages, but there can be other arrangements in other locations too if you like. But make sure you talk to mari-paz about it. Depends on where you are staying.

Okay so theres really nothing much to update. From day 8 to today, im still the same. I left on day 8th, and my plane ride wasn’t too long. Only 2 ½ hours. Before I left, Marvin gave me a little pouch thing for my drain so it would look cute and not so obvious. At the airport, the TSA told me twice to take my purse into the scanner thing (I was told by two different people), and I told them both it was for my drain - and it shut them up really quick! They were all like, okay just lemme know where you are sore so I don’t touch you there. Im like, my butt is sore, and she was like…ok…! They were nice tho. So im back now and im eating like [RS bleep]. I was spoiled at club med, and they gave me healthy food. Now im munching on a bag of cheetos and eating ribs, and corn bread. I really need to stop but my appetite is saying feeeddd meee!!! Speak of feeding, I need to eat. Next time I will update on more specific categories.
