11 weeks post op

Hey y'all ! I am now 11 weeks post op so I will try and get you guys up to speed..
I still wear my faja because when I don't, I swell a bit and my skin hurts and is a lot more sensitive compared to when I have it on. My second stage faja is officially too big for me (I was first in a large and now I'm in a medium). I noticed it was getting big about a month ago but at that time I was using my boards so it was fine. A lot of my swelling has gone down so I don't use my foams and boards as much as before. The longest I've gone with out wearing my faja is 24 hours due to going out outfits and washing delays but I'm in it everyday as much as possible. I was thinking about buying a smaller faja however I don't want the legs to get smaller. I finally have found a tailor that is willing to take it in for me so I will be doing that asap.
I have found a massage place in the GTA that does excellent lymphatic drainage massages. You can PM me for their info.
My butt is softer than before and I'm not as stiff however I still go through these weird pins and needles feelings in my back and sides mainly when getting up from laying down. I am also still itchy but not as much as before. I stopped wearing my arm sleeves at about 4 weeks post op (I did not have aggressive lipo on my arms). My body is still a bit sore to touch especially when someone hugs me tightly or slaps me :P ;).
I am still thinking about posting more pictures since I have notice a trend Of ladies screenshoting and sharing pictures without permission-_- . Hopefully I have covered everything if not feel free to ask me anything!:D

Post op

I had my surgery 3 days ago. I'm pretty exhausted so I'll try to keep as detailed as possible. I arrived in Santo Domingo after 1. Got my tourist card (no hassle) and was in my way. My driver was there with a sign with my name on it and brought me straight to Cecip. I met the team. All but dr Almonte. Lesley took my payment and had me sign a bunch of paperwork then Mable came and brought me to do my lab work, X-ray and ekgs. Everything was flawless. My driver stayed with me the entire time and he spoke English so that was great. Since my surgery was first thing in the morning, they had me stay the night there instead of going to my RH (Bodied recuperation spa). I called my overnight nurse and told her to be at the hospital for between 9 and 10 am. I took a shower with the cholorhixiden soap and was chillin for the night. At around 8 am the next morning, dr Almonte came in, asked what exactly I wanted ,marked me up and the nurse came in with the blue pill. Next thing I know I'm being wheeled off to the OR smiling from ear to ear. The last thing I remember was them looking for a vein to start my iv in and then waking up in the recovery part of the hospital FREEZING asking for a blanket. They wheeled me to my room and my nurse helped for the rest of the night. DOLLS IF YOU ARE GOING BY YOURSELF, you need a nurse !! I went to the recovery house on the 29th and was greeting by the staff and a nice bowl of soup. I then chose to have a sandwich for dinner which was a bad choice for me smh. I threw that up within an hour or two of me eating it. I was in so much pain and discomfort that for a split second, I questioned myself why I did this myself.
You will be very sore, bruised and uncomfortable so be prepared for that. Dr Almonte said she took 7 L out and injected 1200 cc in. I lipoed my entire back, sides, stomach arms and slightly my inner thighs. Will post pics later as I am extremely exhausted.
P.S. The massages are PAINFUL but you HAVE to get them done. Oh and bring a sports bra for extra compression cuz your boobs get swollen too. I forgot mine like an idiot smh lol.

2 months /8 1/2 weeks

I DONT KNOW WHY THE REALSELF APP KEEPS ******* UP BUT ITS GETTING SUPERRRRR ANNOYING!!! THIS WILL BE MY THIRD TIME WRITING THIS REVIEW SO IT WILL BE IN BULLET POINTS! Bought my flight. Very expensive (1100 and change CAD) . Did my blood work today and ecg, waiting for my results. Lesley has also asked for a copy. Dr has agreed to write all my prescriptions so they can be covered under my insurance plan and he's going to write my medical clearance letter :) SUPER EXCITED! I have bought lipo foam from Amazon , boppy pillow from Walmart, arnicare gel and pills (Canadian dolls they sell it at rexall and metro NOT SHOPPERS DRUG MART and it's cheaper at metro) vitamins currently taking are multivitamin, folic acid and vitamin c. Have not started iron because I want to see what my hemoglobin is naturally at but I will be starting it as soon as I get my results. *** Mini update *** had a nurse friend read my test results and she said they're perfect! Hemo is 129 (12.9) . Still gonna take iron to maintain though :)
