3 months after surgery, i felt a hard lump on my right butt cheek, keep getting bigger. Ended up in ER, had cultured and was mycobacterium (still pending on what type). Now i have to see infectious disease and be on antibiotics for months. I feel two more spots that feel sore and i go for MRI tomorrow to see if they are abscesses as well. I love my results but i am so scared right now. Has anyone had this? What is your recovery?

Oh no! How does that happen? Just an infection starts and then gets worse or something?

Whew, I'm not gonna lie, it's been rough. I'm getting massages twice weekly and they feel better! I'm exhausted still. I'm back at work and I'm tired by mid day. Not being able to sit is getting super old. I haven't slept well in weeks. This garment is awful and I'm hot as hell. I'm not in pain but my flanks burn randomly. I had one night I had intense itching that drove me crazy. Now for the positive side: my results look good so far. The fat transfer hasn't been awful but the liposuction has been rough! This garment is the pits.

It really does suck sleeping. I feel like I feel better on pain killers when I sleep but I really hate taking them. I went through almost all of them which is scary because I originally couldn't understand why he gave us so many! I am already ready for my 4th garment which I cannot believe. How many have you had so far? Do you have the butt in? Do you like it better? I rolled up this thick towel at my desk and it works better than the boppy pillow.

I am back home!! I finally pooped (day 9????)... Wasn't as bad as I was thinking it would be! I am hating my garment but I know I have to wear it.. It is sooo hot in it and the foam pad things are like insulation.. Both drains out and barely any drainage from site.. No pain (off pain meds), just uncomfortable mainly because of faja. Swelling is going down as the bruises are healing.
