7 month post op
I am now 7 months post op. Everything seems to be okay. I have gained nearly a stone since surgery in September well 10 pounds to be exact. When I came out of surgery my waist was 31.5 inches, my hips were 49 inches, but I believe this was due to the swelling. Since gaining the weight I mentioned above - waist has gone to 34 inches and hips have gone to 50 inches. I am now trying to lose the 10ibs that I have gained. People who say that after lipo fat doesn't go back onto your stomach.. it's a lie. I have noticed that I have gained fat on my stomach now (not as much as before but fat nonetheless) which is why I'm trying to lose.
I get a lot of messages about where I got my supplies and stuff so I will just mention it in my review. There is an insta page called therealbbl they used to have a website but now just operate from insta. I think they also have an eBay page where people can buy their items as well and on vinted. I bought my bbl survival starter kit from there and it was such a big help. I think its an ex doll who runs it as they also sell an excellent BBL Pocket guide with some really useful tips and reading it from someone who understands really helped settle my nerves before surgery. The kit had everything I needed for immediately after surgery, throat pastels, tape measure, bed pads, shewee to name a few and it was so convenient just ordering everything in one place to start me off with. I also got my bbl chair from them and I believe they're the cheapest I've seen, compare to others on eBay or Amazon.
I haven't been on my insta much but I log on there from time to time. Still happy to share my journey on there if anyone is interested x

3 weeks post op yesterday
On Tuesday 18th October I turned 3 weeks post op! Recovery has been difficult. I've heard people say lipo is a quick fix. It's definitely not a quick fix...it is a long process, especially in terms of recovery. I have slept on my front now since the 27th of September and I wake up every morning with a bad back due to constantly lying on my front.
I am in my stage 2 faja now which I got from 4bellu - it arrived on 6th October - I was 9 days post op at this point. By roughly 13th October (a week later - 16 days post op) I noticed the faja was not compressing me enough as it was starting to become loose. I got in altered yesterday at a tailor's. I got it taken in by 2 inches (1 inch each side) so the waist is now tighter but found my faja is still a little loose on the lower stomach. I am going to go to another tailor today to ask if anything can be done about the lower stomach part in terms of taking that part in.
Another thing I wanted to mention..the post op Itch..it's enough to drive you crazy! Imagine having an itch but you have on a faja, foams, ab board, back board - then trying to scratch your itch - It's impossible and annoying however one of the girls I was out there with recommended this brilliant cream that helps so much - I owe her my life loool. This is on my Insta.
I have documented everything on my insta so if interested in before/after pics/videos etc, documented massages in Turkey, post op recovery tips then message me for my surgery insta page.

6 weeks and 2 days till I fly out
The time is going so fast I feel excited but a little nervous got some good tips from the girls in the group of what to take so far I have bought Dettol soap, irripods (saline solution for cleaning wounds, wound packs (amazon), adhesive dressings medium size as I've been told they only give you 1 or 2 dressings, disposable bed pads (amazon - no more than £3). Need to get some baggy t shirts and flip flops. Also been told to bring painkillers. This is advice that has been given to me from girls in the group who have already been. I did my bloods the other day to check my hemo levels and it was 13.6 which is good as it must be above 13. BMI must also not be any higher than 32 or 33 I think. Floradix liquid is what most girls take to boost the hemo levels.
