Finding appropriate clothing for SX

Medina Doll officially
WORTH IT$4,550
Hey guys, so one of the things I’m finding difficult is finding clothing that’s appropriate for after surgery. Obviously you won’t be bed ridden after the first few days of your SX so you may want to venture out of the Recovery house. If you’re like me, you don’t want it to be obvious that you’re recovering and after your Sx you may have other plans and need to find clothes that you can wear outside (even to the airport) that 1. Won’t show up your faja and 2. Will hide your newly swollen body.

Here are a few tips for clothing I found were best not just for looks but also comfort. I’ll suggest things for both right after surgery as well as once you have to go out in public.

At home/ recovery house right after surgery:
- comfy dresses and big undies

I get dresses that are nice and comfy where the material is soft and it’s loose and doesn’t cling onto your body. You just want something that’s easy to slip on and off because you will be in a bit of pain and won’t want anything close fitting.

To go outside:
- make sure it’s loose fitting on the bottom (from your waist down) and has sleeves.
Because your faja will have a fairly thick sleeve - you will want something that will cover this. Remember for your 2nd stage faja you want the one with the thick sleeve because you will need the support. If you get the one with the removable sleeves you run the risk of your faja slipping down and the inconsistency in compression won’t be good for your results.

I just got sun dresses that are loose at the bottom (I bought ones that were even sleeveless- but here’s the trick: I bought a few close fitting cotton T shirts that I can wear under the sun dresses that didn’t have proper sleeves to cover the faja arm. I’ve included a pic below so you can see what I mean by wearing T shirts under a dress.I say get both black and white T shirts and even brown/tan depending on your skin tone so you can match to all your outfits.

Less than 2 months until ROUND 2!

Medina Doll officially
I’m actually really nervous about my 2nd round but I know Medina will take good care of me. I have not yet checked my hemp level but I’ve been taking my vitamins and iron- I’ll probably do it this week to make sure I’m on the right track.

This time around I just want more hips and a smaller waist - I’m quite happy with the size of my butt even 5 years later.

I’m currently 148lbs and want to be 155lbs before my Sx- I was 150 the last time I went. Wish me luck beauties!

Made it to the other side!

Medina Doll officially
Hi Dolls- I made it! Let me first say to all the dolls who were able to post pictures and reviews in week 1 of their recovery- i commend u. I was a hot mess. No1 tells you about the extreme pain - the level of uncomfortableness- the fact that you cant sleep (even with sleeping pills) because you are mixed with a combination of the first two things mentioned- and they also forgot to tell me how the heck to take a number 2 on a toilet seat (i am still figuring this one out- trying a cushion toilet seat at the moment).
Now im going to just jot a few things down about my journey as fast as possible as sitting on my butt (even with the boppy) is uncomfortable so am going to make it as simple and quick as possible.
My Results: Are absolutely amazing! see attached after picture. my measurements now are as follows:
Bust: 36"
Waist: 29"
Butt: 43"
Dra Medina: Is amazing and sweet- if you have the thought that you will be seeing her for more than a couple mins at a time get that out of your head quickly- She is a busy woman with alot of patients so be realistic and understand that she needs to rely on her assustants alot to keep all these dolls happy. She cant do it alone guys.
Ps. After your surgery she ALWAYS responds to your messages- so if you have concerns she will address them.
Recovery House: It was nicer than I expected. I stayed at My home. The dolls I met there were wonderful and I couldn't have asked for anything better. The staff was great and I want to make mention of the massage therapist that was my favorite (Xiomara). She is a tiny woman with a big heart and hands that know when to be strong (pinning up them fajas) and when to be gentle (rubbing our delicate bodies after surgery).
The nurses were also great. We got our meds on time - 1 may fall thru the crack so make sure you keep on top of things yourself as well but all in all great people. They tend to lots of dolls and are human just like us so treat them that way! Even though you are in pain and uncomfortable- being nice cant hurt and you catch more bees with honey than with sh!t so remember that.
Cleaners and cooks are wonderful. They come and change your sheets and clean your room everyday and they also being your food where ever you want it- in the house that is.
Massages: The first 2 massages were HELL- I cried like crazy- it was EXTREMELY Painful and noone warned me so be prepared. The others were painful too but luckily I had Xiomara from day 3 who was very gentle and went at my pase- she also produces great results. By day 6- no fluid!
Cecilip clininic: Very clean and professional- sweet staff not to mention they ALL have perfect bodies from medina so you know your in good hands.
Uncomfortable level on day 2: 10 extremely uncomfortable and in pain.
Day 14: 5- tolerable but still in a lil pain from the swelling and sleeping is still hard.
Suggestions:
Do not bring any diapers only pads and half the stuff on the list you never use. Bring a phone full of movies and series to keep you busy and download the google translate app- you will need it.
I will post some more after pictures for you guys later on but until then let me know if you have any questions I didnt cover and I will respond.
Until next time dolls...

Yes I got my meds from medina but you can get them cheaper if you get your prescription and purchase in the U.S.
