skinny bbl

Some info about me:

Had bbl on 8/4/17
Height: 5'7
Weight right before surgery: 153lbs (normally I'm 145-150).

Surgery was at soma surgery center (same building as dass)
Went into surgery at 10:30am
Got out of surgery at 1pm
Left the center at 2pm.

Anesthesia was totally fine. I woke up fine no shaking no distorted talking

I had no nausea (but I took the nausea pill right after I got in the car)

During the car ride I noticed I had some acid reflux so I got some ranitidine. Drank ginger ale and ate saltine crackers.

I didn't drain much in the car. I walked to the door by myself and got into th hotel while my nurse parked.

It was uncomfortable to get into the bed. And getting outta the bed. That's the only difficult part.

Take your Percocet BEFORE the pain arrives. Which I did so I've had no serious pain.
Scale of 1-10 pain is a 5
You just feel like you did a long workout with alotta abs and butt moves lol!

First day I was only eating crackers because I was scared to get nauseous.

2nd day (today) I ate 2 waffles and half a bagel. Still no nausea!

Fyi: I was not nervous going into this procedure but when they were prepping me another girl was coming out and she scared the HELLLLLL outta me. She was moaning screaming and speaking gibberish. They took my blood pressure and said my anxiety from seeing her went up 10 points so they had to calm me down. She must have had a low pain tolerance cause while your there they give you FENTANYL( one of the strongest pain medications).

I have on the black faja with the padding under. I just sent my nurse home cause I'm totally fine. Even though I have a high pain tolerance you do need someone the first 24hrs (hand you stuff,pick up stuff,tell you when to get up to walk etc). The nurse will be back tomorrow Sunday to help me shower.

Also the faja makes it hard to eat a lot. So eat slow and small bites to avoid GERD.

Oh and of course I'm on my period! Seems like that's the norm on realself.com.


Ask me any questions. I will update tomorrow!

Here's some pics of me in th binder

Was super scared to take the shower. Went super slow to remove everything.

First off the faja with all the padding stunk sooooo bad from the old blood in it.

I just let the shower run over my body to get the funky chux pads off.

Getting the faja back on with the Lipo foam wa soooo hard! You def need help for this.

Funny but I think the way they say you need help the first 24-48hrs I disagree and think you need helps bathing and getting in and outta the faja....that's the only difficult part of this process to me.

Body has minimal bruising (but I'm taking massive amounts of arnica and bromelin and walking ALOT). I only have swelling on my butt and hips. Nowhere else thank god!

I feel great the only thing bothering me is this damn GERD! I can feel the food coming up my neck as soon as I lay down....and ladies not sure if you know this but that's how you can get pneumonia. So if you feel it coming up make sure you get up and stand or walk around for a bit. I have to fore myself to burp.

I have not had a bowel movement so I took some miralax.

Also while you sleep on your stomach make sure you elevate your feet with pillows.

I can't get any pants over my butt so I've been buying xxl souvenir shirts from the giftshop lol.

FYI my faja is a size large which is shocking since I'm considered skinny. I would be scared to see how a small fits!
