Day 6

So ladies I'm currently still in this wrap Velcro binder around my waist I haven't received my faja from my Dr. Shifrin yet he says in a couple weeks. I had to visit the ER a couple days ago due to me being anemic my iron had gotten very low and my body had me feeling very fatigue. I've been following instructions with laying on my side or stomach and it's been crazy, I just can't get comfortable. I'm up now during the day as the early days I just slept on and off all day. My daughters are home with me and the argue to help me which I'm so thankful for but the yelling and throwing pillows at each other just gives me a headache sometimes. I can't yell at them to sit they asses down nor can I jump right up as I would usually do and ask them what's the dam problem. My fiancé says he's loving the look but he was not prepared for me to be down like this, he states that he hasn't gotten any good sleep since the day of my surgery. He has been taking good care of me cooking, cleaning, and taking care of my laundry, just seems to me that he's making it more than what it is cause I'm the one struggling here. LOL Don't get me wrong you know that I love my family dearly they just working my nerves at the moment. I would not have been able to do this procedure without them as I have no one else that would have been able to care for me.
Back to the BBL! My ass hurts like hell if I sit or lay on it the wrong way. I just started being able to sit all the way down on the toilet and the back of my butt does hurt a bit when I sit down. My bowels moved 3 times yesterday as I had not gone since the day before surgery. Had to give myself new 101 butt wiping course with my flushable wipes and squirt bottle. LOL so I've basically been watching a lot of dam tv back and forth laying on my stomach to the boppy pillow. The most daily action is my shower in the morning and I can't stand up for a long period of time so that goes pretty quick. I was walking with a baby two step rhythm for the first 3 days and I've now graduated to a more penguin walk. Yayyy for me. LOL

Hello! I'm new here, well I opened this account 4-5 years ago and as I'm turning 30 soon had the urge to look my best again lol. You have awesome results! Please update! I'm in the shopping around process and have a consultation scheduled with Dr. Placik on the 14th. I see you've had 6 prior ones before choosing Dr Shifrin- maybe I should cut to the chase. How are you coming along?

Update Day 1 & Day 2
LusciousDee34July 24, 2014
Day 1
I had to arrive at the surgery center at 6:30am and my procedure was to start at 7:30am. When my fiancé and I arrived the facility looked lovely. The staff greeted me and went over my documentation to make sure everything was accurate. They then took me to the back to prep me with my gown, blood pressure, IV, and pregnancy test. Then Erica stopped by to introduce herself, she works side by side with Dr. Shifrin in the surgery room. She made sure that I was comfortable and informed me what was going to happen next and that Dr. Shifrin would be in the room with me shortly to make his markings on my body. Then they brought my finance in the back with me until it was time to go in the surgery room. Dr. Shifrin came in and greeted me also with a big smile and assured me that he was going to take good care of me and I would look great! Although as we discussed before I am a candidate for a full tummy tuck due to me having skin that hangs past my waist area, and I plan on getting this done early next year. Dr. Shifrin assured me that my waist would look good although I will have a little skin hanging and I'm ok with that. One of the staff members wheeled me into the surgery room and they helped me get onto the surgery table/bed and that's all I remember. I woke up in the recovery room and they had juice and snacks for me, my fiancé joined me until I was feeling well enough to go home. Once I got home I took my pain medication and I just wanted to sleep.
Day 2
I had all my medications laid out to take on schedule. I have to pee every 3-4 hours so it forces me to get up and walk around. It's a struggle moving around but I'm making it and it's getting better slowly, just taking baby steps. My appetite is pretty good and I'm always thirsty. The Lovely Ms. Adrian called me today to check up on me and I informed her what I was doing for myself and she informed me to keep it up and that I sound pretty good. I have an appointment this Friday and I will receive another garment to wear as I'm currently just wearing a white Velcro waistband that they provided me with yesterday. So all in all I'm doing pretty good, I've attached pictures for you all to review and I will keep updating my profile and post more pictures in 2 weeks so you can see the difference a bit more. Take care ladies and thanks for all your support.

Hey how are you doing today with the healing?
July 26, 2014
Hey sassymommieof3 we gon have to hook up after all this we've put ourselves through. The first 2 days were ok but that 3rd day came down on me hard. I ended up in the ER yesterday, turns out that my iron was very low as I'm anemic. I was so jacked up you wouldn't believe. How are you doing? Are u in pain? I got my bobby pillow today cause i was losing my dam mind on my stomach and side. I said to myself how are these women doing this. While I was in the hospital bed I didn't know what to do with my myself lay down, stand up, lay on my side, sit on the stool. Nothing was comfortable and sitting on my ass hurt like hell.
Anywho I talk to much tell me what's going on with you girly?
July 27, 2014
Girl u dont talk too much..lol..thanks for the updates &pics..glad to hear u out the hospital. &Doing well!I seen another girl on here that went to your doctor. She said the garment he includes with the sx wasn't real tight but once she switched she saw a huge difference in her belly.
July 27, 2014
Lol we big booty sistas gone definitely hook up, lol. I bought a lawn chair and cut a hole in the butt area so I can sit. It's hard being in your stomach for that long. I went to the er myself, I had to make sure I didn't have dvt. Those dr. Treated me differently after I said I had plastic surgery, as if that's a pretend procedure. They told me I had a virus. My leg was still in pain so I went to another er. This time, it was one of those booshie hospitals and they diagnosed me with extreme edema and they treated me. I'm walking real good now and I dint have pain in the incision site any more.
How is that boppy pillow working for you? Your pain level. Please try to walk. I enjoy hearing about how other are keeping up. Try to measure fault to see if your fat is sticking.
July 27, 2014
What kind of difference did she see in her belly. I'm still struggling with my garment
July 27, 2014
Lol thanks for checking up on me. Girl I couldn't wait to get outta that hospital I was at Christ on 95th. They did all the necessary test to make sure I was ok but you know that hospital feeling of waiting and waiting and you just wanna get home in your own bed. & Yes I can't wait till he provides me with the faja as this binder wrap doesn't seem to be doing much but getting in my dam way. Dr. Shifrin is positive that my stomach will look great which I do notice changing slowly so I'm just trying to follow his instructions and we will see in due time. I'm starting to itch but I'm trying to just rub my skin softly because it seemed like when I scratched myself I was scratching to deep as me scratching wasn't giving any relief but bruising myself.
July 27, 2014
OMG I'm so sorry to hear that you went through that, the things we do to look good. I was a bit embarrassed when I got to the hospital when I had to tell them what all I had gotten done to myself although they were all so interested to ask questions but as they could see I wasn't doing too well sitting in the ER. I'm so glad your leg is feeling much better. It's so many complications that we have to consider when doing this, when I first got observed in the ER they gave me a big scare indicating that I may have a blood clot or need a blood transfusion. At that point my fiancé was looking at me worried as hell and mentioned that he was starting to regret that he helped me pay for the procedure so you know I felt really jacked up at that point & my 12 year old daughter asks me if it was really worth all this.
The boppy pillow is working pretty good although I still feel pain on the upper butt area. I can sit for about an hour and then have to get up and move around for a bit but it's so much better than laying all day. As I think about it it seems like your lawn chair may be more relief because your not applying any pressure on the bottom area either, how does it feel? I would say my pain is at a 3/4 due to my butt hurting a bit when I sit on the pillow and when I lay down the pressure on my stomach hurts and after 30 minutes it's no longer comfortable. When I lay down on my stomach and lift up from my stomach it hurts like hell & I have to prepare myself for the pain everytime. I'm walking a little bit more, I'm trying, it just that when I stand up it seems like fluid is moving around my lower belly and it doesn't feel good. It takes me a minute to stand up straight as everything wants to hurt when I stand up completely. I'm going to measure myself tomorrow and hopefully everything is all good. Is your butt hard in certain areas? How's your appetite, are you eating as usual?
