11 months post op
Ok so I did not post any updates because shortly after my surgery I found out that I was PREGNANT. I was in shock. I was directed to be off the pill for two weeks before the surgery but having been on birth control for many years, didn’t think it would affect me. So PLEASE Make sure you use backup birth control methods. When the procedure was done it was still too early to even detect on a pregnancy test. But thankfully my baby came out healthy and happy.
THAT SAID... I loved my pregnancy body. I gained 18 lbs throughout my pregnancy and most of it went to my bottom lol so from behind you would never know I was pregnant. And I am 100% certain it’s because of the surgery. Because women in my family tend to gain a lot of weight and stretch marks, and these traits are supposed to be hereditary. I did not get one single stretch mark on my tummy, only on my bottom but the marks have faded since I gave birth.
I am attaching pictures of my post-baby bod and honestly, I like my body more now after having gone through a pregnancy than I did before the surgery. So still 100% think the surgery was worth it. Please feel free to ask me any questions!

Day 5
I’ve regained feeling in most of my back and abdominal area and its pretty sensitive to the touch. After 48 hours it’s recommended to shower daily, which I have done. I use Hibiclens antiseptic skin cleaner at the end and clean the wounds. After every shower I apply Neosporin to the entry wounds and place a bandaid over them.
My buttocks are still very swollen and I’ve been using the icing method ( I apply a cold pad for 10-20 min at least 3 times a day) -I simply place it over the garment because the thin mesh keeps it from being directly on the skin. I follow that by applying some arnicare gel and taking the arnicare pellets given to me by Dr. Dass. I prefer arnicare gel over the arnicare cream because the gel dries really fast which makes it easy to pull the garment up, where the cream causes friction.
I’ve stopped taking the pain medication for the most part. And I’m able to do most of my normal activities around the house, but nothing too strenuous.

Day 3
I’ve never been so happy to take a shower!! I was pretty nervous to see what the results were like being all compressed in my little body suit. Beware, pulling the garment over your behind is painful, so take a deep breath and have someone help you just pull it down. My fiancé threw all my garments and foams in the wash while I showered. The incision marks were surprisingly very small, and they had stopped bleeding by day 3.
The swelling in my backside is pretty crazy and I’m hoping it does go down, per the doctor it should be down about 40% after all is said and done. Which I’m ok with!
And it feels hard to the touch. But so far I am loving my figure!!!
