Lipo/BBL - Dominican Republic- Baez!!

These pictures are from about 6 weeks ago, I havent had time to take any new ones. As always, Im still busy with school.
Some important things:
1. Most of me does not hurt anymore, even @ 4 months post op though my sides are still a tad sore. Nothing big but when my boo tries to pick me up by my waist when we are.. cough cough.. doing things, it hurts just about enough to scream, but that is a rare occasion. Now about 5.5 months post op it is doing better but just a tad sore.
2. I stopped wearing my Faja at 6 weeks, im in Texas and I got my BBL during the summer. So when I say it was hot. Believe me.
3. I did start immediately working out. No cardia, but I use an app by "Skimble" and do alot of workouts on there. I have been pretty religiously working out since August.
4. Since I have been working out there have been great changes in my abs. Ladies I will say this, do not expect your stomach to be extremely flat, I still had a little pudge left, and it was no biggie to work out. Your stomach is so flat it does look comepletely flat under clothing though. But I know with all my wish pictures I was thinking I was gonna have a super flat stomach but no! Those women in our wish picutures have flat stomachs because they workout and earn them, that definition and lines in their stomach are abs that they worked for. So just don't get your hopes up too high.
5. MY ASSSSS! I LOVE IT!!! It looks even better now than in those pictures because its setteled a bit more, but lawdy. Baez is amazing, she got rid of my "double booty" just like I asked and I have great roundness and projection now.
Only thing is I have a little hard piece in my right cheek, you cant see it and I can never feel it. TBH my bf is the first one who noticed it about 3 months ago, but once you feel it (but this is with intense massaging), you definitely feel a hard piece (its maybe the size of a marble). I thought it would go away, but even now last weekend I still felt it, I'm not worried about it because it causes no pain and I'm for the most part completely unaware that it is there. But anyone else have this?

So, I am 11 days post op now, and I will say, it gets better every day!
While I am still sore, I am feeling better.
I wanted to wait put up photos from the first couple of days, because I really looked scary, but once I entered stage 2 faja, everything started to look amazing.
This will be a short review because 1. I don't feel like typeing & 2. My experience was just like everyone elses, the people in the SDQ know what you are there for and it is routine for them, there are really no hiccups in transportation, finding docs, meeting docs, surgery. It went pretty much the same as I had read from all the other real self stories

Baez: That woman is a goddess. 1. She is so freaking beautiful, it is ridiculous, I couldn't even pay attention to what she was saying, what people say about her looks, is no lie. 2. It is crazy to imagine someone that beautiful being so sweet and genuine, but she really really is! We texted the whole time I was there, and I could tell she genuinely cared about my well being and giving me everything I was looking for in my body. 3. The woman can do some [RS bleep] surgery! She is so good, I love my body, she made my booty the perfect size, and my waist small. I almost cried saying my goodbyes and thank yous.

Recovery: Like I said, each day gets better, cause it sucked at first, I felt like my faja 1 was 10x too small, and really didnt leave my room for the first 3 days. Day 4 is when I was finally able to get up and move around and talk and not regret everything. I STAYED AT REAL RECOVERY ARMONIA, it was great, they have a driver, who I believe is the owners husband, but they already know where to go, there is no having to tell a taxi driver. They are also in great contact with the docs, and especially Baez, they probably were in better contact her with me, and never hesitated to call if they felt something was off with my recovery (when they thought it was time to switch me to faja 2, or at day 5 when I stopped draining for no apparent reason). The food was great, and always on time, there was something different every day, and I as a vegetarian they REALLY tried to work for me and the cook often went out of her way to make me something special. I felt so bad sometimes because she would cook something especially for me, and it would be delicious, but with this damn faja, I was eating like a bird, I could barely make it though half my meal & have to stop because I was too full. Only thing I say is, I was misconstrued, on how it would look, I thought it was an actual hotel, but it wasn't it is just a 3 bedroom apt, with each a 1, 2, & 3 person rooms. I stayed in a 2 person room and it actually wasn't bad, when I first arrived the recovery house was fully booked and there were 5 other women staying there, and even then it never seemed crowded, and by the end of my stay there was just one other girl there and it seemed very empty. They provided wifi and although there wasn't air conditioning throughout the whole apt, there was a unit in each room, that is brand new and worked very fast. There is also a masseuse there, they were great, and only charged $25 per massage, and they always washed your faja while you were getting your massage!

I had an issue with draining and stopped on about day 4, we tried everything, and the more experienced nurse/masseuse/drain expert even stuck needles in my back to get liquid out, but nothing really helped. When baez took my drain out on day 7 there was a huge clot at the end that was preventing me from draining, it was okay though.

I am not putting pictures up of my butt till I get all the fluid in my lower back, with all the padding for extra compression, it just looks kind of weird. But you guys can see front view! and a little side action!

So I made my hand made boards today. I think they turned out pretty good. I couldn't find a super squishy foam but I did find "foam sheets" from HobbyLobby, that is the colorful side. It feels more like a memory foam and I stacked the layers. Hopefully this works! I am also going to by ace bandage wrap and wrap them up.

I only have 7 days left! I am getting so excited. Next week will only be Monday through Wednesday, and then I will be off to the DR!!

PS. Shout out to Realself, I came across the girl who is going to Baez on the same day as me!! How cool is that!

I already have all my stuff purchased pretty much, I think I need to get more sanitary napkins, but beyond that I plan on starting my official packing this weekend!! Lol its just going to be a bunch of shorts, leggings, tshirts, and maxi dresses.
