Had my appt today to get my drains removed from my TT and have the sutures removed from all the various places they were at. I know and apologize for still not posting pics. But for reals I wasn't able to look at the mess without getting all nauseous so for the sake of not passing out I've waited to take pics. I was hoping the nurse or Dr could have taken then but the two times I've been there there's so many other things going on and questions I kept forgetting. During my apt today they also put me into the compression garment.... wow was that interesting!! It took two of them to work that thing up me and stuff me in. I was like "how in the world am I ever going to be able to get this back on myself dude"?? So after that fiasco the nurse put the waist cincher on top of that.... HOLY TIGHTNESS! I had ordered a Vedette 124/944 in a medium based on the measurements but I don't know if I should have ordered a large instead. But I guess the point is for it to be that tight right???

The Dr said he was able to put back in like 200 ccs in my bum. I didn't even bother to ask if that was 100 each cheek or 200 each. I wasn't going for over the top booty, just fill in where I lacked. Since the swelling is still majorly present everywhere I cant really make a determination if I;m happy with it yet or not. I can for sure say the TT scar looks good so far and very low.

so things definitely got worse before they got better. The last couple of days where hell. Things are SLOWLY (very Slowly) getting better. Im bored out of my tree but I know this comes with the territory. Cant wait til I can look back and say that im glad that's over.

Im still really wondering/worries how this turned out since I haven't look at anything yet. All ive been able to see is that one side of my butt is for sure flatter than the other. My tt scar is beautifully low though, thank goodness.

Hei girl I know how boring and painful is now but trust me in a month you'll hardly remember. Make sure you rest and don't strech the incision. Dr A has a way to cut , the scar will look like a line that it is hardly visible in 6 weeks. Why do you think one side is smaller than other ? My friend (male) who did not see me for a while toll me today that my butt is big and I asked why he looked at? He said bcuz it attract his attention. I sit on my butt since day 1 and still have big butt. Keep healing my dear and hope to hear better news soin.

My surgery went well i think, but i havent been able to see anything yet. Dying to check out my butt. My pain has been about a 7-8. I was walking around a couple of times yesterday and most of the day today. i feel much better moving around. My appetite has been good also, had a protein shake, some pineapple, oatmeal and tons of water. I was told the next couple of days are going to be more painful than the first day. Im alittle concerned that i have been sitting on my butt since i got out of surgery. Isnt that going to ruin my result?
