Satisfied but Still Waiting for Final Results

This is day 12 post op. I’m getting anxious and disappointed. I’m told results are still coming. But my hips are still nonexistent. I won’t be interested in a revision, not even if they paid for it. So in all actuality I paid $4000 for a waist.

This is day 12 post op with the ugly wallpaper. I’m shrinking. I was pretty sure I would have hips but unless the drop drastically in the next month or so, I’m doomed. At least I was able to get a $4000 waist if nothing else. I WILL NOT be going back for round 2. The picture with my tablet is day 19 post op.

From the beginning the staff was extremely nice including Anyelin who was his coordinator. When I went for my pre op work Tuesday, Jessica and Nicole were the 2 ladies assisting me with my faja fitting, before pictures and paperwork completion. The were helpful in answering my many many nerve filled questins.
The next morning I was met by a gentleman named Luis, I think that had me drug tested and then he escorted me to the waiting room. After a few minutes I was greeted by Lisandra. This lady, ooooommmmmgggg was heaven sent. She was so instrumental in my bp being low because she made me feel very relaxed. And if Iwasn’t relaxed then, when Dr. Kagan entered I became even more relaxed. He answered more questions and we talked about home (Chicago) and the conversations kept my mind off of the upcoming walk to surgery. Where i was met by the anesthesiologist and Luis again. Once they started to place my IV and was starting to panic and the gentleman rubbed my hair and forehead telling me to relax in a VERY caring manner and I was OUT!!!
After surgery I literally thought I was going to die. My boyfriend said I was bleeding so that I looked like I had been stabbed, lol! I didn’t have drains so I drained on the puppy pads. I bled and bled and bled but oddly enough I wasn’t in pain. Stiff pain but not hurt pain. I felt as though I had done 2000 sit-ups and 2000 crunches. I NEVER took the pain pillls prescribed because they weren’t needed. NOW, I am a huuuuuge cream puff when it comes to pain but the extent of my meds were Tylenol.
My first massage, was the next day, Thursday with Rosie. She’s ANOTHER sweet sweet sweet gem. The massages were helpful since I didn’t have drains so with each stroke I was expelling the fluid that needed to come out and once again I just took Tylenol. Once I left the massage I took a shower when I returned to the hotel.
My constant bleeding lasted from wed-fri.
My only issue was always having to poot! ( poor boyfriend...ladies if your man can withstand THAT and see you looking beat up, he’s a keeper....thank you Lamont!!!!) I had gas and minor constipation. I think that was because I didn’t take pain meds with narcotics. I used the bathroom on day 3 using no stool softener.
I flew home after day 6 in Miami.
My only suggestion is to expect bruising. My sides looked like someone had beat me with a baseball bat.
The overall experience was pleasurable ( for surgery). I have not sat down yet. I stood the entire 4 hour flight which was easy because I’m a flight attendant, and the crew was cool because I’m apart of the airline world.
I just hope I’m pleased with the booty in the end!!!!
