The Body I Never Had - Mexico, MX

Hey ladies....I emailed Fatimeh and she told me...

WORTH IT$6,200
Hey ladies....I emailed Fatimeh and she told me that the reason for my fatigue and weakness was low iron. Now I see why I was craving oranges, and Malta. Anyway I'm back on my iron pills and eating a little more now. Also I removed the right drain today. It wasn't bad, I showered first, then my husband cut the stitch and my mom pulled it out. At first it was painful but that's because there was a clear stitch on the drain but after my mom cut it she was able to pull the drain right out and it felt good. My right side feels so much better now. I can compare the two sides and tell the difference. I was uncomfortable with the garment now that it was taken in so I put it on the first strap. That feels hella better. I'm still worried about the knot on my braline. My husband massages it but it feels so painful. Any suggestions for this please comment below. Hope you all have a safe and speedy recovery.

DAMN girl, you look wicked good! So hot!! That hubby of yours has to be lovin it! He'll be all liking your pics now ;) Ugh, where is that clear stitch on the drain? I am taking my right drain out tomorrow, it's been leaking almost nothing for 2 days. The left is still draining away with no end in site. Ugh. I'm happy to hear you got your issues mostly sorted. Could the bumb be a senoma? What did Fatema say? Anyway, my best to you. xx
Hey sweet stuff...know it's not a seroma it's a knot from the lipo but its going down with my hubby massaging it. The stitch is a little inside. So after the brown one, my mom pulled and it hurt so she looked and after clearing the dead skin she found the clear stitch. After that it came out smoothly. I can't wait to take out the left drain. It's also going on and on...anyway how are you feeling? Anything new? Wheres the pics? Keep me posted. Smooches
oh wow. Awww what a good hubby :D I actually did find it, and I have to thank you for bringing it up because I was able to look for it :) Question though.....it seems to be inside the incision and I tried to kind of gently pull it out but it wouldn't come all the way....is this one of the stitches that is inside and dissolves? I'm feeling really good. Nothing really new. Took my right drain out last night. Gotta get some new pics up, I will soon :) Smooches back ;) xx
Yes I believe so.
Hey ladies don't mean to bother you ! But wishing both of you happy healing but I need help did u girls get massages ? and how many ? do we tip our nurses or how does it work ???
I did get massages but honestly it didn't help or feel anyway until 1week post op. Thats when my back felt so heavy I had my husband massage from me. And every night since he massages me. Also I did not tip. As I was really not pleased with the light touch. It felt more like a fondle...lol
Ok, good :) Thanks!
Yeah I didn't even get them. I only had a little lipo and it didn't seem neccessary
Hey girl, looking good! I also want to get a tt,bbl, and lipo on my back with Dr. Cardenas, but i"m still not sure if i should go with Dr. Salas or her.
Lookin awesome!!!

Hi ladies... So I'm extremely tired, cramps, and mega thirsty. If I didn't know any better I'd say I'm pregnant. I sleep 12 hours or more straight. My CG has been taken in about 2 inches and its on the first strap so far. I'm still wearing the drains and m back hurts less and my stomach more. I also have this pinching sensation on my right side that ir very uncomfortable. I'm walking more but I am still unable to stand straight. Also I have developed two knots under my bra line that are hard and painful. Luckily my husband is massaging them. Aside from this I'm feeling ok. Still not seeing any results other than my waist being smaller. Hoping things get better soon. Any suggestions would be helpful...thanks!

Hey ladies, today is 9 dpo and I must say it has been a journey. Tonight I feel much better. I can walk without feeling heavy and winded and I can lay a bit more comfortably. My back is still very tender and painful but the swelling has gone done significantly and I'm hoping to see some results soon. I have to take my faja in because it is loose and I don't think its helping...both drains are still in but my right drain is about ready. Its been draining like 30 cc's. Hope this helps you guys. Until next time...
