YILIFIED! 3WKS POST-OP! - Dominican Republic, DO

Ok dolls, I hit 3wks post-op. As some of u know, my sx had to be delayed bc my blood count was too low. Eventually it was done 5 days later (July 1, 2013) so it might not reflect w/the days on this page...not sure. I was not a big girl but I had stubborn fat on my torso & arms that didn't go away no matter how much I worked out but instead would loose my boobs & ass leaving me looking like one of the java worms frm Men in Black...LOL. Lord forbid I wore a tight yellow dress.

I'm posting my pics despite being nervous bc of stuff I've seen go dwn on RS. My shyness left the bldg. after the staff @CIPLA & the RH saw me nekid. I also promised I would keep all of u dolls posted & I keep my word. :)

I'm loving my results & at the same time being my own biggest critic picking at the small flaws I see. Yet I'm aware that PS is not perfection! I'm hopping my results improve w/time. I love my waist! I was like welcome back "tiny". ;) I look curvy in dresses & my ass looks big in shorts. I can't fit in my old jeans...My BF can't keep his hands off me & he loves how ppl stare when we go out. I will report that I still have stiffness/hard areas & a little bit of swelling. I'm not so lumpy bc I massage myself everyday during the shower & right after. I sometimes have my BF & daughter help massage the stiffness I have on my left arm & armpit. Last wk I started doing endermologie accompanied by a lymphatic massage & the doctor game me some Asian herbals to help my energy levels bc I caught a cold after I came home. This week I got another treatment w/acupuncture & more herbals(no more cold just allergies, yay). My recovery is slow but I'm glad to say it's improving. I just wonder when will I feel "normal" again in my own skin?

Hey dolls, I left DR yesterday evening and I made it home last night. I'm on DR time so it's still lunch in my internal clock but it's morning here in CA. I slept well but woke up a bit stiff. It feels good to be home. The pain has improved. I've been walking around a lot since day 2 post sx and the swelling on my feet is gone. I thought I was gonna swell on that long plane ride but I did good. Most of the major bruising is gone. That Thrombosil crème did wonders(I mixed in Arnica crème, too & drank Arnica tea very other day until I left). While I was in DR., I got as many massages as I could. Dominga's cousin was ok but I always felt shitty after her massages & then one day I was taken to another lady that made me feel like a million bucks. That was on day 6post sx...I've felt better ever since. How I miss the RH, the new massage lady & how they were always feeding me fruit. :( I'm home now & I miss how spoiled I was....oh well, time for me to be more independent now. Looking for a new massage lady here in CA. Wish I could find a package. I feel that I still need those bc i'm quite stiff on the upper left side of my back, armpit and arm where I got lipo. My waist is shrinking & I noticed that my skin elasticity is doing good. I'm still wearing my post sx garment bc I'm not ready for the stage 2. I tried it on day 6 & I was in agony! well, that's all I got for now. I'm alive & doing well as well can be. :) I will post up pics soon...

Hello, so today is day 5 & I went to Yily's office for a f/u. I saw the doctor who assists her w/the post-op patients(Dra. Cedano) a very nice young girl. She had me undress & remove my faja w/the dressings I had under. Then she saw my drain & told me she might not remove it. She unclogged my drain & upon further inspection, began to remove my stiches from the drains & she pulled them out. I was startled & turned around to ask her if she had removed them when she was holding the drains in her hand...I hardly felt anything. Then suddenly I was relieved to know that sh!t was gone. She cleaned my incisions & instructed me to use iodine & bacitracin ointment 3xs a day. She helped me put my muscle shirt on, helped me put on my faja & told me to continue doing my draining massages. I felt much better & I was able to stand up straight. I came back to the RH & said farewell to my sx buddy who left home today. I have been able to rest & take mini naps through out the day. Now I can't wait to go home, for my skin to bounce back, the bruises/scars fade & my pain to subside. Btwn, Yily was so busy in & out of her office while I was there but she took the time to say hello & ask me how I was doing. It was nice to see some of her dolls, see their results, see her new patients & chat w/them through out the days I went to CIPLA for my treatment, sx & post-op f/u. One thing I can say is have a lot of patience when ur out here. If u don't speak Spanish use a translator app or bring someone along that can help u & be there for u bc it will make things a bit easier. I went in w/that mind set & perhaps bc I spoke Spanish(telenovela Spanish-a bit different than Dominican Spanish[I had fun learning their Spanish slang]) I was able to get though w/everything I had to do to get me ready for this & of course the ladies here on RS that would check up on me. God bless u all. Thank u for being there.
