5 Wks & 5 days Review
Been MIA for a minute. I try to update once a week. Anyway, life is soooo much better. Booty fluffing out...still at 45 1/2 inches. Legs are doing much, much better. The swelling and my legs has subsided about 85% and 75% of bruising has faded away. Still very cautious about sitting directly on my butt although I have in small periods. I still lie on my stomach for sleeping. My compression garment is loose...Dr. Shifrin will give me the 2nd stage garment at my 2nd post op appointment next week. I wear my thigh high compression stockings all the time. It really helps when I've been on my feet too long. I'm happy I made this decision. The pain was all worth it.

I'm feeling myself this morning. Tried on some old jeans and my legs were able to fit them...hallelujah! I've always had problems finding jeans that didn't fit me properly because of my big ol legs. Thanks Dr. for sucking the fat out.
4 Week Review!!!
I'm doing soooo much better. Still a little swollen but I can tolerate it. Thighs are still bruised but the bruising is subsiding. My booty changes everyday. I'm In love with it. Last week I was a little iffy about it...but it was only playing tricks on me. I cleaned the entire house today. I'm walking up and down the stairs like a normal person again. Walking with a limp is gone...I'm back walking normal yall!!! Still sleeping on my stomach and since surgery, I've only set directly on my butt for maybe 20 minutes. Other than that, I use my booty buddy for sitting. Has anyone heard of Calendula tea...heard it helps with swelling and bruising (pineapples are also great for bruising). Anyway that's it. Just wanted to give yall a quick update. I try to update every week. I'm not on here a lot. I will upload some pics in the morning. Goodnight!
Provider Review
After doing research I came across two doctors. Dr. Placik Otto and David Shifrin. Both top surgeons from my home town, Chicago. Dr. Placik was my first choice but he charges a consultation fee so I never got a chance to schedule a consultation. Why should I pay a fee just to be seen...NEXT! That is when I came across Dr. Shifrin. So happy that I did. I met with him in Feb '15 for a consultation. He and staff was very warm and welcoming. Dr. Shifrin made me feel so comfortable. I told him what I wanted and he assured me that he can get it done. He knew exactly what I was talking about. Consultation was free plus I was able to use the $500 coupon offered from his site. I paid my deposit plus most of the surgery cost on April 3rd and is scheduled for surgery on May 19th. My pre op appointment is May 1st.
