Lipo and tt post op pics

Had my lipo and tt done, no bbl revision. In regards to the tt, yes I think I am happy. Lower back pain from walking like an old lady the first week or so is very hard.
Medina didn't do my bbl. After sending explicit pics and messages for the past year, it was obvious she had no clue about my lump. First she said I didn't have enough fat for a bbl, thay I'm all skin and wouod need gain least 40 lbs to fill my butt and tighten excess skin where booty and thigh meet. Then she says she has no idea what that lump is. Would need do spnogram, yet she didn't, and wouldn't offer to do it. She took a syringe to the lump, and dis extract fat. Yet she still says who knows what may have gone on, and I sinuated that last surgeon may have used some other liquid substance to do my bbl. She says this as she pinches me real hard to see if I react to the pain or not.
Needless to say, I had already paid, had begun crying and was forced to make decision on the spot. She asked why I wear faja, I said to smooth out lump. She says I can wear butt faja or or booty lifting panties. I said my whole point for coming to you was to not need do these things. She said we here for tou, to help tou, as she continued to jot notes on her paper... She came across to me as a superficial woman. Friendly on the ourside, but lacking a deep core of really caring about a person and their situation, etc.
Again, I will say that I fully believe thay her assistant Marielle is the one who messages us and we believe it's Medina. For islf this woman had truly seen my pics and my questions, would not have acted so shocked when she saw my lump. So once again. If I ever want to fix it, I will need find a surgeon who is willing to look at it and then do a thigh/butt lift for no way in hell will I put on weight again. I was so sick with stress before leaving thay I lost weight, and again right after surgery...
Sometimes I also wonder if she the one who did my surgery. I was taken to clinic the night before for 5am surgery. I didn't see her before I was walked to surgery room. I woke 3 times during surgery. The first time, when I kept trying to say I was awakr. I heard voices never heard hers. Woke again, and third time when faja was being put on me. I saw her the following morning, when she immeditely said i need 9 hours oxygen. She said talk to marielle of cost
Marirlle never consulted me, she just decided to schedule me. I fought abt this, and said how upset i was for her to assume I had this money to pay. Was convinced do it now, and worst case medina pay the rest., I was convinced to pay 3 hours at 240$. Was given a pill to sleep, after being sent there with no lunch. The next day, marielle tells me again in going with no warning. I said no. Was sent to anotjer rh that had older oxygen chamber. Thankfully I brought my own sleeping pills. That box was airless and torturous. Never heard a word after that about mpre hours since now on medinas tab. If theu cannot get you for blood transfusion, they will get you for oxygen. Nickel and dime patients for everything. If driver takes you anywhere else, even if to get cough drops at a store that is on way to destination, it will be a 10$ charge. Cost me 20 for a subway sandwich becuz of that...been back home 6 days, and no word from medina on how I'm doing in 10 days. I am now 18 days post

28 Days for Medina!!!! Round 2 & TT

My Journey to the DR to Dr Medina is almost upon me….How I am so ready for this Round 2 an tummy tuck to be over and done with already!!!!
So…..My sx with Dr Medina is in 28 days. Ive managed to quit the smoking, finally. Been under a lot of stress and anxiety. I tend to over think things a lot, and do suffer from anxiety. I know I will be in good hands with her, but of course I will still worry…..right up until the moment when the doors shut on the plane and I put myself into a full blown anxiety attack, lol….
Ive stressed over my finances, making sure that I will have my bills covered while gone, renewed car registration, and will have to do inspection, and mostly, hope that I will not have any issues with my employer. Ive been told that I will have to apply for short term disability, and just hope I get some sort of pay for those 2 weeks since they will not let me use my vacation time. Was sick in the last couple weeks with throat and ear infections, and now either the Colgate toothpaste has made my taste buds on tongue swell and hurt, or its my damn stress, smh.
My bag has been packed with everything that I need, ready to go. I am attempting to do carry on, and hope that TSA wont give me any problems with any items packed. Im trying to avoid checking baggage, so that I can bypass waiting on luggage, especially when I return to NYC. . Ive got all meds filled except for the Clexane shots, which my PCP wouldn’t prescribe me.
This will be my second go at a BBL, since the results of the first time around was pretty awful. While previous surgeon did a very good job on my lipo, he had no business doing BBLs…I am confident that Dr Medina will be able to correct the lump on my booty, and fill it out nicely so it will no longer look bottom heavy. I have worn my faja almost every day since my sx last year, for it is the only way that my booty looks nice and round. Without it, looks saggy and has the visible lump, no matter what type of panties I wear. I have maintained my weight at 160lbs, give or take a couple depending on bloating, and weigh 5’3”. My waist has been an average of 34 inches and 41 on hips.
I so cannot wait for this tt!!!! And no more saggy, pouchy skin. I don’t think my tummy and skin have been flat since before I got pregnant with my first son 22 years ago, and cant believe as of yet that I wont have that sag any more very soon. I will also be doing extra lipo to cover the arm pit area, maybe inner thighs, and arms as well. Get it all done in one shot, no matter the pain afterwards. My man, my besty, is giving me his plastic to charge what I need in case I come up short on the cash, yay!
I will be staying at MyHome RH, along with my sx buddy who is flying in 1 day before me . Im eagerly counting down the days, yet also fearful. I pray that all goes well, and that I will be mending nicely by the time my son graduates from high school at the end of June. Ive seen many women say that we should refrain from taking any sort of a shower while in DR, even if doctor approves, and to only wash with wipes or bottled water and a washcloth and soap…All I can say is that’s gonna suck, but I will do whatever I have to do to avoid complications, I suppose

88 Days to Medina!!

So i went and submitted my passport application yesterday, tickets are bought and most of my supplies have been purchased. As of about 6 weeks ago, my hemo was 14.4. I want to increase it as much as possible, to avoid the necessity of a blood transfusion, as well as the $600 cost. I've been takin collagen pills for about 8 months, which helps with skin elasticity, and been taking vitamin c and d pills. I've purchased some liquid iron. And will begin it today.
I'm freaking anxious, but also excited that my time is getting closer.
