DR BOUND....41 Yrs Old, 3 Kids, "Ready for my Body to Match with the Rest of Me" Dominican Republic, DO

So yesterday, i removed my drain. It was clogged! After complaining to the doctor, she said i needed to change my faja and make it tighter, because the one she put on me was doing nothing for me. I ordered a new one and it took 3 days in the mail and I was sent a size 2x. I was pissed, feeling like my healing was being delYed because i dont have the right size faja on. Got back online and reorder from www.shapessecret.com, still waiting on it. I paid for express shipping should be here tomorrow. I went out shopping, but unfortuneately i can not find a store that sells them. So i went into to Sears and bought a waist cincher in a size medium ($17). As soon as my husband squeezed me in i started drain fluids all over the place. This is how i found out that the drain was clogged. We tried using a syringe, but it just would not unclog. So, Dra. Robles said take it out and we did. I went to the ER and told them my little girl grabbed it by mistake and pulled it out. Just wanted to see if they would put one back for me. NO!! However, the one call doctor called a plastic surgeon he is friends with and told him my situation and he gave me his name and number and told me I can call him if i need some assistance. I was extremely pleased. This size medium waist cincher is giving me an idea of how my full body faja is going to feel. This thing is so damn tight is hard to sleep, move or just think. Ive had it on for 3days now and i have to take pain medicinefor headaches everyday. Its hard to breath in it. But looking on the bright side i can see my waist and figure forming in it. Make sure you order a new faja early, because the doctor puts a big one on you because of the swelling, you will need to change it once your swelling starts to go down. If you can afford it i recommend getting 2 of them. I tinkled on mines a few times, not being able to get the clasps open in time. So i have to walk around without it each time while im washing it. I have some pictures i took on Monday, but I have changed already. Iwill post them just for you guys to see my progression, but will take new ones, when my husband comes home from work.

Hey guys, i just got finish emptying my suitcase out. I just wanted to let you know on realself we get alot of tips on what to bring. Try not to over pack. You must remember you will be the one carrying this stuff all over the place and back home. I had bought so much stuff that I did not open. The list of items that the doctor asked me to bring was pretty much all I needed and I was there for 12 days. If you are going out on the town and visit friends and family in the DR then yes you may need extra items. Here is what i used:

Body Wipes - 4 packs
Wash Clothes
Tooth brush/tooth paste/mouth wash
Maxi Pads -
Wife Beater T-Shirts
Front closure night gown- (3)
Compression Socks
Maxi Dress (3)
Soap
Comb/Brush
Your package that you get has almost everything you need. All the extra items are for when you reeturn home, so its no need to carry all that stuff with you. After surgery, the doctor will put you in a tshirt and your garment. they will prescribe all meds and creams that you need. You will be swollen and sore. Just before I left someone was borrowing maxi pads from me. Which i didnt mind, but when I looked at her suitcase it was filled with make-up and nonsense. I had15 pairs of panties and did not wear any of them. I had plastic gloves/tape/guaze pads/A&D ointment/Alcohol pads/Arnica gel/ silicone strips etc....I can go on and on...and never opened any of it. Be smart with your packing, the less you bring the less you have to worry about. Also there is a safe in your hospital room to lock up your valuables. I hope these tips help!

Today is my ten year anniversary! My husband took the day off to sit home and take care of me. After washing me up, I took a few photos. My stomach is still huge and my stretch marks are so visible. My tummy tuck cut is very low, but with all the swelling its so hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Im going to enjoy my time with my husband, so talk to you later!
