I visited my family Dr last week & he prescribed me lasiks for all the water retention. I'm finally feeling somewhat normal, but I still wear my faja 23/7 & actually understand why people say it becomes part of you. If I'm out of it for over an hour I swell up like a puffer fish & the pain becomes unbearable. I highly recommend tiger balm to rub on your back & sides..... It's literally been life & keeps me going.

Day 2 Post-Op
wanda89leeNovember 13, 2018
Had my Post-Op appointment with a nurse at New Life, which was pretty much a waste of time. They just looked at my stomach & sent me on my way. I went down stairs to pick up my garmet, ab board & foams. I do not recommend buying your boards & foams from them, they are garbage. I do like their fajas ???? I also cancelled my massages with them since the Recovery house has a massage therapist that comes everyday. Coraito (squeeze you like a lemon) was a great massage therapist & she drained me dry (highly recommend her). Once back at the recovery house i took my pain pills & got my first massage. (I only took my pain pills twice) after my massage I was able to take a shower. It's not recommended by the Dr or nurses but I used a heating pad & it literally was the best thing I could have taken with me. The pics are after my first massage.

You look amazing hun! So Dr Dowbak performed your surgery at New life even though he works at seductions now?

Hi, thank you so much. I'm not loving my stretch marks but I love how flat my tummy is & you can actually see my ribs lol. Yea, my surgery happened two days before all the drama happened at New Life
November 13, 2018
Awww thank God to that!!! What day post op is this for you? Did you have a lot of swelling? How was the plane ride back?
November 13, 2018
This was the day after surgery & after my first massage. I went in weighing 137, came home weighing 151...... I'll be 2 weeks post op tomorrow & can finally see my knee caps & I weighed in at 145 this morning. The swelling is slowly going down.

Yes all that fluid needs to come off...I know I’m gonna regain water because after both of my csections I had edema bad!!! And went down after a week...Awww I’m happy for you!!! So I plan on going back to work after 2 weeks would you think that’s doable? Also how was the flight back home? Did you sit on BBL pillow?
November 13, 2018
Totally doable, I came back to work 10 days after & I actually feel much better up moving around. You get so stiff from just lying around all day. I got extremely lucky & American upgraded me to first class in a row by myself. I sat on my boppy until the seatbelt light went out then I kneeled on the floor & put my head on the seat & slept until we can started to land.
November 13, 2018
Awww yes that was wonderful they did that for you!!! Can’t wait to see your progress over the next few weeks if you plan on posting!!! Thanks for answering my questions and enjoy your new body hun!!!!! If you get a chance could you inbox me all the necessary supplies you felt that you used, I feel like my amazon cart is filled with too much stuff lol. I’ll be going 1/18/19! I just booked my Airbnb and booking flights next week

I can do that, but I stayed at a RH & they supplied some of the items. I'll inbox you when I get home tonight. I do recommend to start taking your iron now & also the beginning of December start taking 2 arnica tablets before bed..... I usually bruise really bad & I did have some but I think the arnica really helped with that.
November 13, 2018
Okay the hemaplex with iron tablet correct? Yes I started taking all meds they prescribed, it’s been about a week I been on them. Awww that’s great to know the arnica pills worked! I have them in my cart so I’ll order them! Do you think I’ll need the arnica gel as well for pain? What about that mederma cream for scars? Do you think that’s worth getting? I seen someone mentioned that.
November 14, 2018
I did use the arnica gel & I ordered some massage oil from Amazon. I haven't tried anything for scars since the incision is so tiny I didn't worry about scaring.

Surgery Day!
wanda89leeNovember 13, 2018
I arrived at New Life around 7am for surgery. I was called back around 8 am.... They needed me to urinate for the drug test, but I was dehydrated & could not go. They sent the nurse in to start an IV & Dr Dowbak came in & got me all marked up & took notes ( I still never told her what kind of look I wanted). The nurse stopped my IV & forgot to turn in back on, so once again we were delayed. I was finally able to go to the bathroom & was called back to surgery around 10:30 or 11:00 am. I walked back with the anesthesiologist, got on the table & was out! Woke up so cold I just knew I was freezing to death. I was on my back & the pain was so bad I just wanted to stand up. As soon as the nurse heard me moaning she got my warm fuzzy PJs, dressed me, put me in the wheelchair & sent me out of there. Betsy from the recovery home was waiting for me, I laid on my stomach in the back of the SUV. The ride wasn't bad, but I got extremely hot & stripped all of my clothes off in the back of the SUV. When we arrived at the RH I needed to urinate so bad but couldn't! I was released from the clinic around 2 & wasn't able to urinate until about 7 on that night (absolutely the worse part of that day) Julie at the recovery home stayed right by my side the entire night, she walked with me back & forth to the bathroom a 100 times, hand fed me soup & made sure I took my meds. Day one was the worse day for pain & being uncomfortable. I think wearing the fluid filled faja all day & night was the worse (Dowbak doesn't use drains).
