Well everyday gets better. I'm able to sleep the entire night now. Still very swollen my butt jiggles like it did before. This thigh lipo sucks though because if I have my garment off its swells up bad and hurts. My stomach is getting softer. All of my incision sites have closed. I still lay on my stomach not such a big deal since I'm a tummy sleeper anyways. Butt has dropped and shrank some . I wear my small corset during the day time I waist train and nights that I don't go out I wear my garment.

He has been awesome. I usually contact him late at night sometimes around 11pm to 12at night. He has became busy so I understand if he doesn't respond right away. During the day he is in surgery so if he's busy he lets me know he'll call back. Sometimes he forgets and I call him. At the end of the day he's human he forgets things and is extremely busy. Because we forget if he's not in surgery there's tons of paperwork that follows. So I try my best to put myself in his shoes and it makes things easier for me.

All Ladies Who's Sx Date Is Approaching!

Ladies take the time before surgery to prepare mentally for your recovery process! Recovery is very important! Also do not read the horror stories.. Stop researching everything that can go wrong it will drive you crazy. Plan to make recovery as smooth as possible. Not just in the recovery house but at home as well. Make sure you have some type of help once you return home. Mentally prepare for your body not moving at the same pace as your mind. There will be times you want to do things your body just won't allow and that's ok. Do not try to rush your recovery let your body take its time.. This will not be a easy ride! Go in with realistic wishes. Everyday will get better. Take your time!!! Its very important to not stay in the bed walk ladies. Walking around can help with your stiffness if you stay in bed you will end up miserable. Do not push your body to hard . Wear your compression garment very very important. Xoxo ladies I hope my information helps. O yeah recovery houses are not five star resorts if you're looking for that type of recovery the normal recovery houses are not for you they are not perfect. Another thing you're going to another country be prepared for the language barrier!!
