Trying to repost with camouflaged tats
Oh yeah
Been gone a few days
Anyways.... I'm a little lumpy and bumpy which hopefully will go away! Plus I have one significant dent that's bugging me and a huge lump at my belly button which just looks weird. And I noticed a couple days ago that one of my incision sites (adits to be technical) that has been slow to heal was extremely [RS bleep]. Gross I know. I doctored it up with peroxide but it still kept coming. Disgusting, yes. I literally had to get in the shower and using the handheld shower head flush out as much of it as I could. When I was done, neosporined and bandaided it up. So I've been nursing it. The pus is better, but it's still red and puffy all around. I have a visit on Tuesday, so will wait til then. Unless I start running a fever. I tried going to the mall yesterday but had too much crap on to try on clothes. So went back today with only a cami inside out so the seams didn't irritate my skin...it is still VERY sensitive and boy shorts. I thought I was going to die by the time I got home. I wanted compression soooooo bad! So I now have on my butt in garment, with foam and ab and back boards, my butt out garment , my squeem vest over that and my binder tops it off. Like I've said before, yes, I'm crazy, but I can own that!
Ok so I'm going to shoot for Jan for lipo on thighs, arms and that bra fat, and whatever else I need at the time (my final results should be by then) and getting my boobs done. Either fat transfer or implants (but scared of being cut and having big scars). So two big challenges : finding a Dr and finding the money! Advice please! Y'all help me out now.....
Provider Review
The front desk was extremely helpful, even after I had to call a zillion times bc I got lost several times and ended up being late. But Vanessa, the consultant, was so awesome, I immediately adored her. She made me feel extremely comfortable ( I mean, it is awkward to bare all in front of a stranger). She also made me feel as if I was not in as bad of shape as I imagined and it would be no big deal to get my desired look. The other surgeon I spoke with seemed doubtful about my results and wanted me to lose weight, which I did not want to do. I like being thick, I just want to be a little smoother and more shapely. Also, Vanessa is almost excited as I am to see the results. She is very patient on the phone and gives me as much time as I need to talk. My pre-op is Monday. I will officially meet the Dr then (we've met in passing). I think my before pics will be that day so maybe I can post then. I'll update as I can. Dr. Cole is awesome, honest, very nice, positive and doesn't rush. He took time to understand what I was looking for and to explain to me what he'd be doing. He was very upfront with me in regards to my having lupus. He let me know that my recovery time would be two to three times longer. He also explained that there was the possibility that I may not have very good results, given the nature of my disease. I was comfortable with him and went forward with the procedure. During the procedure, I was awake but mostly felt pressure, not pain. He took his time and went slowly enough that If I started to feel anything, I just told him and he immediately stopped to numb me more. He told me what he was doing, etc. However I talked most of the time! Of course I thought I was distracting him, but he said I wasn't. I guess I was distracting myself bc the process was pretty easy for me. Staff is amazing and aftercare is great. There were payment issues, but neither on my end nor the Drs end. We had to wait for the bank to release my funds, and the office was very patient with me and reassured me that I would still have my surgery date. I am pleased with my results and Loooove my waist, which wasn't even something I had thought about! He did a great job sculpting. Once my healing period is over, I am considering further procedures with Dr. Cole.
