Alright so it's 6am and I cannot bear sleep in my bed anymore so I've moved to the living room so my boyfriend can sleep. I'll try and update as detailed as possible. I go to Medina's office at 5 am and had surgery around 8 am, we sat in a room and she marked my up and asked what I wanted. She said I don't have as much fat as I think like on my thighs it is muscle but she will take whatever she can. Then I got attached to an iv and sat in a room for about 1 hour before a nurse came in to give me the blue pill. I was worried because I saw the girls before me take the blue pill and she was so out of it that she tripped over herself... The pill had no effect on me whatsoever so as I went into the surgery room I was telling the nurses this and then they gave me an injection and I was out. During surgery I woke up twice but all I remember was Medinabsaying put your head down lol so I just have been trying to watch. My boyfriend said it took about 2 hours. When I came out of surgery I had zero pain and actually didn't feel any pain until very late that night. I thought that because I was staying overnight at the clinic then there would be nurses there to help me but medina came in and asked where my boyfriend was and I said I sent him home so he could sleep and she said she didn't assign a private nurse to me because she thought my boyfriend was staying. This got me worried because I knew I would need help and I couldn't get a hole of my boyfriend after that... So I ended up spending the night alone... I was with severe pain and a lot of women say it felt like a really hard workout at the gym but for me it was soooo not. For me it feels like a hell of a lot of pressure but also I get these sharp stabbing pains right where my tailbone is and they KILL. So there are nurses there at night but I'm not sure if you have to hire them privately? But why would I stay at the clinic unless it's because I need to be under the supervision of the nurses? Anyways they made me sit in my butt the entire time and it felt like all the blood was flooding to my butt I felt like I needed to get up and walk but the first time I tried I almost fainted. Then the nurses said tomorrow I can walk. But at night I just couldn't handle the pain I couldn't even turn over onto my side or turn around into my stomach by myself I was completely paralyzed. I was trying so hard to get the nurses attention I was yelling and crying and putting the phone on speaker so it would buzz and finally after an hour a nurse came and she saw that I had tried to get up but I couldn't stand up because my pee drain was on then other side of the bed and I needed her to pick it up. Instead she said I need to lay back down. I told her I don't think my iv is working because the water line was at the same spot the entire time plus I was in so much pain how could there be pain killers in there and she said it is working. Then I got told I need a blood transfusion because my hemp got below 8 but nobody gave me it for another 2-3 hours. Honestly I can go on and on lets just say it was the worst night of my life. I'm a very pain tolerant person and I've had my boobs done before but this surgery was the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life and I know it differs for everyone but I would never do it again. The liposuction parts don't hurt only the bbl. 3 days post op is a night mare I cannot sleep well and have to get up and walk around every 2 hours. One of Medina's assistants got me flowers which was sweet I really like them. Her assistants speak English but the nurses don't so the little Spanish I learned helped me big time. I've only been drinking water smoothies and Gatorade I haven't eaten solid foods yet I've got no appetite. As for my results, I just want to get better I don't even care how I look but I did get a peak before my massage today and I look so swollen like a balloon!

Thanks ladies! Well i understood that the reason we have to stay the first night in the clinic is so we can be under the care of the nurses... Nobody told me that I had to have my boyfriend stay it hire a private nurse. So the nurses that were there didn't check up on people every now and then, they were assigned to people who hired them privately. But I did get the help I needed but I had to scream and shout before anyone entered my room! I'll post pics soon and write more of a review

I'm so grateful to God my auregey went well. M just in the recovery room watching tv

Ino pain yet but I cannot feel my legs it's a scary feeling

The Spanish I learned I got here has been helping me a lot

I'm laying on my butt which I don't know why I should.... I don't want to squish it

Medina said I don't has as much fat as I thought, a lot is muscle so that's kinda disappointing because I won't get the big butt I wanted
