26, Overweight, and Ready for a New Body! - Houston, TX

Something I always wondered prior to surgery was if my clothes was going to fit or was I going to have to buy bigger/smaller clothing. I tried on my jeans-all size 10 and a few skirts and they still fit but now they fit even better than before because I no longer have a muffin top. So for bottoms I am still the same size. As for tops, I used to be between a medium or large and now I am a true medium and fit into some smalls depending on the fabric of the shirts. So if youre asking yourself the same question I think more than likely you will remain the same size for bottoms and will shrink down in tops. One thing to keep in mind as well is that this is not a weight loss type of surgery. Its a body contouring surgery so you will more than likely weight the same as you did before. The morning of surgery I weighed 169 and after surgery I weighed 166 but thats just a number to me because I weigh 166 but my body looks good lol!!

So at first I was going to be away from work for 2 weeks but I decided to wait until the 3rd week post op because I have an office job which means I have to sit for 8 hours and I didnt want to risk killing the fat that was injected in my butt. Now I am so glad that I stayed home for 3 weeks! I just went back to work on Monday and it was horrible!! Prolonged sitting has caused me to swell so much and my thighs get very stiff. On top of that my left foot is swollen and i dont know if its because of the prolonged sitting or something else. Ladies if you can take off from work for 3-4 weeks, do it!! I am now wishing I had taken off for a full month because the swelling is crazy! I measure my butt every day hoping it hasnt shrunk because I am now sitting on my butt at work with a pillow underneath but thankfully it is still the same size (44inches). Overall I am still happy with my results I just hope the swelling goes away sooner.
