4 days post op and i feel close to normal. The first two days were a bit tough. Walking up three flights of stairs after surgery is in no way fun. I had bad bruising. It has gotten better, but there's still some on my inner thighs and butt. During the first two days my appetite was almost non existent. I had to force myself to eat. Laying down on my tummy was hard. After 2 days I'm pretty used to it and can do it rather quickly.
As far as Dr Cortes...he's very helpful with questions and has been great so far. He put 1000 in each cheek. He came to check on me at the hospital the day after surgery which was great.
Today at 4 days my butt is still stiff and I'm starting to be able to walk a bit more normal. No pain meds needed. My soarness has also decreased. I have a 3 hr drive home Monday that I'm not happy about-but have no choice. I plan on making lots of stops to get up and walk. Hopefully this decreases the amount of damage done to the fat. Ill be back to work later this week.

I'm three weeks and one day post op now. My butt is almost all soft, but they are small hard spots on the top corners. The only pain I have now is my middle section, but it's not a bad pain. It's just really soar if someone touches it (burns sometimes too). However, I do have a lot of itching!!! Every night I start itching. It's more of my back than any other part. I'm still not sitting like a normal person & this pillow is so annoying. The only time I really sit is on my way to work in the car. At work I stand and once I'm home I'm walking or laying on my stomach still. I'm still wearing the garment. I went without it today for the first time for more than one hour and I got so swollen! I will not do that it again! I'm not sure when I will be able to take it off completely, but I cannot wait until that day. It's soo annoying when you have to go to tr bathroom. ......I didn't take my measurements before sx but I wish I did. As of now my waist is a 34 and my hips/butt area is a 46. Before surgery I wore an XL shirt and now a small (shocker! I never thought I'd be able to even get my boobs in a small). I'm still unsure about pant size...it really just depends on the pants. But it's between an 11-13. I'm going to attempt posting pics today. Any questions just let me know :)

Hey, you look good!! How many CC's of fat did you have removed? And do you know the max that Dr. Cortez can take out??
October 25, 2012
He told me how much he took out but I forgot but I know I got 1000ccs each cheek and 200 (or 250) each hip. He told me there wasn't a max. Said he was going to remove all as much as possible. It was done in a hospital
October 26, 2012
Well he definately have you looking great. I might have to reconsider my decision and stay right here in Houston for my sugery.

:O im in awe!!! You look amazing!!! Im so excited about your results!!
Can i ask how long did you have the drains? Im planing to return to work in 10 days he told me i should be fine did you find that was the case? Thank you for posting pics!!! Your results make me feel more confident about my decision!
October 26, 2012
I had my sx tuesday morning and got my drains taken out saturday, so 4 days. The first two days i drained a lot but after that it slowed down. I didnt have any problems once i returned to work (i went back at 6 days), except my feet would swell up from standing so long, but not pain. If you are driving yourself that may be a bit difficult (it was for me) because you cannot get in the car like a normal person with the pillow. But luckily my job is no more than 10 minutes away. The most annoying thing was using the bathroom, cause i would take the garment off b/c i didnt want to get anything on it-and then having to put it all back on. Im glad the pics helped. I was really nervous at first too, but I am now happy with my decision and new shape!
