BBL in Kansas

I found Dr. Perez on Realself I liked that he had a lot of before and after pictures and his results showed a good difference from before. I had one consult with another Dr. in the area and although he seemed to be very polite, informative & with lots of experience I wasn't totally convinced due to his before and after pics.
I had my consult with Dr. Perez and he was very informative & honest about what to expect as far as my results go. I went ahead and scheduled my sx for 4/14. I'm pretty nervous but honestly I don't know why I waited all this time to change my body. I inherited a boyish body, no curves, broad sholders, no hips & flat booty (exercise didn't help). Although Dr. Perez said I needed a TT to get ideal results I opted out and decided to only get the bbl. I don't know if I'm done having baby's.

I'm getting more nervous by the minute. The day is coming up fast and honestly I can't stop thinking about all of the possible outcomes. I'm excited about this long overdue body change but I am very nervous about the recovery. I'll be posting before pictures tomorrow probably along with my measurements.

So today was the big day. My surgery was in the am I was super nervous but all of the nurses and doctors were so nice and welcoming. They helped me calm my nerves down. Time flew by and then time had come for surgery. Dr Perez was wonderful at explaining every single thing and post op care. He is so nice and he made a few jokes to keep my nerves down. The nurse gave me some meds through my IV, she gave me a pill of volume and I started to get sleepy. I told my husband I loved him and he gave me a kiss and I was out. Next thing I know a nurse was calling my name I opened my eyes & As soon as I opened my eyes I realized I was super uncomfortable. I was laying on my back and my butt felt so sore and hard. Only thing I can explain what I felt was like when you ride on a car for 12+ hours with little standing/resting.. well multiply it by 4. I wasnt in pain just very uncomfortable. I honestly don't remember the hour of recovery, I don't know if I fell asleep or if I was rambling on and on to my poor husband lol. Soon it was time to go. The nurse helped me dress and I was taken out in a wheelchair. I got home feeling nauseas and dizzy and not good at all. I laid down upside down and slept for about 1.5 hours. When I got up I was in pain but not horribly. I walked around a few minutes and I started feeling better. I was chatting with my mom I took some chicken broth and then it was time for my meds. I went to bed and slept for a few more hours. I'm honestly surprised how little pain I have had. I was expecting way way way worse but at least for today I have been felling well. We'll see about tomorrow.
