Sorry to hear you've lost a lil more volume, are the dents very visible. I haven't lost any volume since week 3. Lol I bet people wonder why you're using a towel but hey we have to protect our booty. 4 more days to hit the 6-week mark! I'm so excited. When did Dr. Hughes tell u you can sit down?

I honestly don't remember I think he said 6-weeks? I missed my 4-week appt. With Olga I was sick with the flu, I have to call to reschedule! No, dents are really not that noticeable. When do you go back for a follow-up? Did you go at 4-weeks? Are you wearing your garment/faja 24/7? Have you seen Dr. Hughes after your SX?

I remember him saying 6-weeks but Olga told me 7. I didn't get a 4-week because I saw her 3 times in the first 3 weeks, everything was fine so no meds to go back until 2 months. I saw dr Hughes the first time, just for a quick question. Yes I wear my fajas 24/7. I just saw your pictures I don't see any dents & doesn't look like you've lost any volume.

I haven't measured myself to be exact, just by looking at it? I might be getting the famous "booty greed"! I was planing on doing a follow up at 2-months, Olga had said come at a month for pictures.

Yes, I think it might be the booty greed, because sometimes I feel mine looks small but I measure almost daily & haven't lost any volume for almost 3 weeks. And my family & bf have been telling me it's huge... She told me she was going to do pictures at my 2-month.

Your booty looks big to me! I agree, it is not huge, but it really looks good on your body. Could you please post a side shot when you have a chance if it's not too much to ask?

5-Week update

Hello ladies, sorry I have being MIA. I have being super busy with work and holidays; and really not a whole lot to report. I have lost more volume since my last update, my butt has softened up a lot!! I have noticed a small dent on each side of outter hips! I'm still swollen on abdomen and it still feels tender. I bought a CG and wear it most of the time, although I was told to only wear my XESS garment during day time. I notice if I don't wear it for a few hours my belly swell up!! So, I'll wear it a bit longer, I have also started using a Squeem Vest a few hours a day, it takes some getting used to. I'm still sleeping on my stomach and sides, but, my neck and back muscles are always sore, I can't wait until I can sleep freely and sit!!! I'm using a body pillow and it really helps, I really recommend it!! My husband cut out a lawn chair and I bought a piece of high density foam that I cut out and placed on top of chair and it has being a blessing.

For those of you ladies that are having lipo on inner thighs I would recommend a CG that goes below kneee, the one I have is above knee and at first it would dig into my skin and was noticeable on top of tights/leggings. Also I feel the XESS shape wear that doctor's office gave doesn't provide enough compression for inner thighs and it rolls down, so would not recommend it! Also ladies I think for second stage it's best to buy a CG with no zippers, mine has a front zipper and it's harder to hide under clothes. I think I should've bought the one in picture from previous posting, but, I didn't buy it bcs it was more expensive. Also ladies if you are having SX in LA there's a faja/garment store in Culver City, Fox Hills Mall, "Body Image Shop". I ordered mine online bcs I don't live close and didn't have any appointments.
I'm still using my female urinal when I'm home, I love it! I'm driving udon do rolled up towel and a pillow to support back, this had worked best for me. I'm also using the rolled up towel to sit at office and when I go out to eat, people probably think I'm a weirdo, LOL, whatever!
Good luck to all you ladies having SX soon!! remember that the first coupe of weeks are the toughest, but things will get better.
