So I finally did it and scheduled my surgery for June 26th, 2018. I am nervous and excited all together. I did pick a surgeon from my hometown, Chicago. He made me feel very comfortable as I went back for a second consult to make sure he will give me what I wanted. He seemed very sure that he can and I feel happy with my decision. A close relative had a bbl done with him and her results are amazing. I will continue to share my journey in the upcoming months!!

Hi doll. Are you still getting your BBL with Dr. Troung? I am from Chicago and I am interested in staying here for the SX. Any help would help thank you. :)

Hey! Yes, my surgery is the 26th of this month. Less than two weeks away! Have you gone for a consultation ??
June 14, 2018
Hey there! This is random, but I am actually getting my BBL done on the same day with this doctor! Just doing some last min research on him (that's how I stumbled on your post), and seeing all the great 5 star feedback is very reassuring. Im Super excited..and nervous!! Surgery is coming up quick. GOOD LUCK!

What time is your surgery ? Maybe we will come across one another. :) I was told about him by one of my cousins that got her bbl done by him last year. She looks great! She did say to show him pictures the morning on so it can be fresh in his mind on what you want. I am also very excited but sooooo NERVOUS! Good luck to you as well!

My check in is 10am and surgery at 1030am. Good to know! Maybe I’ll print out photos so he can use them as a reference in the operating room! He does a lot of lipo so I think we are in good hands. So you know about the sedation, have you had it before...where you breathe on your own so you are awake but out of it? Do you have any photos of your cousins before and after to share?

My check-in is at 7 am. I should be done by the time you arrive, hopefully! :) Yes, he is aggressive with Lipo but don’t forget to mention it to him again. I do not have any pictures of her before or after :( but I can ask for some. The sedation, I have had but in a different type of surgery. I believe it’s an IV you fall asleep and when you wake up you are done. It goes by fast. I know, I am worried about the sedation as well. But we should be fine. We aren’t awake just in a deep sleep.

Hey! How are you feeling??
June 26, 2018
Hey! First off congrats! We did it!!!!! Lol I’m sore for sure . Tried getting up but I get light headed like I’m going to pass out so I laid back down . How about you?!? Hey did you get post op printed out instructions ?? I didnt
User Avatar
June 26, 2018
Yes! We did it!!! I am so sore, my lower back hurts a lot. I also tried getting up and I can’t do it. I feel like I’m going to faint haven’t been able to change my gauze. Good thing I’m not bleeding so much. No I didn’t get any post op instructions just what we signed prior to surgery about meds. I’m asking my cousin what to do since she had it done with him. Drink a lot of water and if you are taking the pain killers, stool softeners are you bff! Did you take your first antibiotic pill already?
June 26, 2018
I have not changed my gauze either. Can’t stand long enough without feeling like I’m going to black out. I’m sure it’s going to be better tomorrow, I’ll try changing it then. Yes I took my first antibiotic at 4 PM, and I’m going to take my next one at 7 PM. So proud of you for going through with it! I know you were so nervous the night before!

June 27, 2018

I haven’t tried getting up again. I had to go to the bathroom but I went on my knees lol my poor husband. But that’s good news! How is your pain?
June 27, 2018
Haha girl—you have a good man there...Still in a lot of pain all around my mid section when I move. I keep kicking my feet to keep blood circulating and try to rotate my hips a bit to help stretch my mud section. Just remember day 1 -3 are the worst and things will get better. We can only go up from here!

Day 2! I could not sleep at all yesterday. So I’m beyond tired today. How are you feeling this morning? I’m sore around my midsection as well. I finally changed my gauze this morning and walked around for a bit. Currently on my knees reclining on couch. Hope your day gets better and easier!
June 27, 2018
Im sorry you didn’t sleep well last night! I was up every two hours needing to Uniate . Trying to get up Is the daunting task, but I did it. Thank you, And I hope that your day gets better as well!

My morning was difficult but got easier after plenty of naps. Had to take another pain killer. My neck, arms and lower back are killing me from laying on my stomach. Yes! Getting up is painful. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!
June 28, 2018
Hi there! Just checking in with you. How are things going? I think the more I get up the easier it gets. Have you taken a shower yet? I have not, I don’t remember when they said I could take one. Don’t be afraid to take painkillers right now, they are there to help you get through this difficult time. I have probably taken about six pain pills.

June 28, 2018
I just woke up from a nap. My menstrual decided to come early so now I have that pain added on top of everything else lol but I am moving around more. Getting up is slowly getting better. They said we can shower 48 hours late so I’m showering tonight. I have taken 6 painkillers as well. I’m scared to keep taking them lol
June 29, 2018
Finally showered today on day 4, stomach super numb, feels so weird lol Started my menstrual cycle as well, like I don’t have enough going on already!? Ugh haha.My shoulders and neck are killing me. Feel like my faja they gave me is cutting me off in he butt area. Are you having any issues with yours? How are our holding up on day 4?
User Avatar
June 29, 2018
Well yesterday I had a mild fever with chills but that went away with Tylenol. Yes !! My stomach feels so weird and my booty so hard. But minimal bruising. Still swollen. How about you ? Same here, neck & shoulders hurt a lot. How are we not going to sit on our bottom for all these weeks?? Lol I bought a booty pillow have you?
June 30, 2018
Oh no! That’s a little scary but I’m glad it passed! Yea I’m still quite swollen. I actually wear a tank top under my garment and put lipo foam in my garment to make it a bit more snug to help with swelling and put in back board. The lipo foam actually feels really good cuz is super soft! I should prob get a bbl pillow to sit on lol. Have you tried sitting/using the cushion? Are able to use in a car?
User Avatar
June 30, 2018
I have the foams but I wasn’t sure if I should use the yet or until I see him. I will set try them to help with swelling now. I haven’t sat on it just yet. No I haven’t used my car yet :( My back is super sore from laying on my stomach. How are you sleeping?

What I did do. What cut the hole a bit bigger from the faja because it was digging in and indenting the circle part on my booty.
June 30, 2018
Day 5: So you cut your faja? I totally should do that! My lady parts are actually black and blue and swollen from the garment (TMI..but real life lol) I’m thinking about buying a circle blow up inner tube and try sitting/laying in that..just stack up pillows if I need to support my head. I’m sleeping alight , but prob only cuz I have a really nice mattress topper that’s soft, but still my neck and shoulders are sore and stiff.
User Avatar
June 30, 2018
Yes I had to cut it. I feel like I’m expanding and it was indenting already. Can you see a shape coming in? I feel like I should of gone bigger for the pain lol I wanted to do that but it sure if it’s too early. I don’t want the fat to die lol
