So I'm home!! It feels so good. I got my friend to take some pictures of me. I'm still swollen. Never was bruised very much just on my hips and around my armpits where I was lipoed. Dr Robles only removed my back drain yesterday since that's the only time I seen her since surgery. I havent really drained at all since my back drain was removed, hoping to get this front drain removed on thursday. Also my back feels a lot better since the drain was removed.The other day Dr Gonzalez came to the Recovery house to clean my drain lines and to change the bandages on my incisions. I have to go get a new faja because the garment I got was to big from the start but she said it was so I didn't get blisters or burns so it had no compression so I been wearing my towel around my stomach for 3-4 days now. I just noticed in the picture it looks like one hip is bigger than the other but it doesn't really look like that when I'm naked in the mirror. I'll make sure I post a few new updated pictureshows in a few days after I have my new faja

3rd Day
So I don't know if I mentioned this but this is my first surgery and probably my last but I have to admit that I was expecting this experience to be worst then what it is. I haven't had any pain like I thought I'd have except for in my back which I'm thinking it might be from the epidural. I don't feel any pain from the lipo I'm feeling very good. I was thinking I needed percocets before I left but if I brung them I wouldn't have used them the pain meds I have now are fine.
So today they had me go to the oxygen chamber and I could only last 20 mins in there. I started to have an anxiety attack from the small space and it being so closed in. It sucks because I still have to pay the 100 for it when I didn't get my hour in.
So I've been trying to do things on my own which is crazy but I'm honestly feeling good. A little tight in the belly so it takes a minute to stand up straight. Everyone I see has a flat stomach on here and I'm not sure how because mine is still really swollen and it sticks out a bit. I'm not bruised that bad. I've been drinking a lot of liquids.

Don't cancel it is worth it. She is amazing and trust me it's not as bad as you read. If you just relax and stay positive you will be alright. I will be posting pictures as soon as I can. Thanks I hope everything works out for you and please don't be scared you can do this.

I felt a little bit of shocking pain last night on one side but it wasn't that bad. I rubbed it a bit and it was gone. I'm on my 4th day and everything is good. I'm moving better doing everything on my own. I know you will do great once you have your surgery. Just know it's not as bad as you think it is.

Thank you. You seem so mellow about all of it I love the vibe I'm gonna try and just stay calm and try not to over think it. Your 5th 6th and seventh day went good? Lol and do you think just some muscle relaxers verses oxy pills? I've heard arnica jell helps the bruising. And also sorry what type of silicone are you using for your scar? I heard embrace was the best

Is the bbl pillow really needed ? People say it's a theory there's no real need for it. I'm 10 days to go !

I honestly haven't used mine yet. At the hospital and the recovery house they have you sitting and sleeping on your bum. I will try to use it once I get home and on the plane but in my opinion you don't really need it. You will do amazing and I wish you lots of luck on your surgery and the recovery.

It's only normal for your family to be scared because of the risks and also because everyone thinks it's a scary thing to go to another country for surgery but you just have to let them know that you will be fine and let them know that the Dr to the nurses at the recovery house and at the hospital and to the driver everyone treats you very well and that everyone wants the best for you and helps and works with you any way possible. Just let them know you will be ok and safe. Woman come here all the time and usually have good things to say about the treatment they recieved from the staff

Day of Surgery.
I had one of the ladies come wake me up at 6, jerimah came at 20 after and we went and picked up another girl at another recovery house and we were brought back to the clinic. Just waited there for like 20 mins to see what was going on. There are other girls here waiting for surgery with other Dr. So I got sent into the room right when you walk in the building and that's when Dra Robles came in and marked me up. She told me i was the first patient today and that she will see me in the surgery room. The anesthesiologist come in and put in my Iv then I got put in a wheelchair and we took the elevator to the surgery room. I was told to lay down and then the anesthesiologist told me that she wasn't giving me the blue pill and put something in my iv and all I remember telling her is I'm nervous and she said that's normal and from there I woke up in my room with my garment on and Dra Robles sitting next to me on the couch. I never woke up once during surgery. I was told I slept for a few hours after.
So I haven't been in pain at all today. Not sure how much medication they been giving me. I'm very uncomfortable because I've been sitting on.my bum all day and it's numb and my back is so swollen it's stiff and that's the only thing that bothers me. My stomach is very swollen as well. One nurse been putting creams on my back and stomach. They gave me soup 2 times to eat. I've been in and out of sleep today. I really wanted to stand but they told me I can't. They checked my hemo and it went down to 8.10 so they suggested that I take some iron shots so I got 4 they said it usually helps in most cases. When they checked my hemo nothing changed so I got 2 blood transfusions the next day.
