And so the unhappiness begins...

Ok ladies, So I have a follow up with Dr. Salama tomorrow. I'm not 100% sure that I am going to keep the appointment because he only does follow ups and consults on Wednesday's, which sucks because he is very sought after, so he is booked out on those days, standing room only sometime. I once had a massage booked on that day and waited almost 30mins. Because those are the same rooms he using for consults. Never again did I book one on a Wednesday! The wait times are ridiculous! That's my only complaint so far about Elite (the wait times). But anyway, I booked a follow up for two reasons; 1. (Superficial) I feel like my projection did NOT IMPROVE after this procedure (am I crazy?). I won't say that I haven't ANY, because indeed I had some before, I was just lacking fullness. I asked him for projection and hips! That's all I wanted! I'm not someone who wants an ass like Lira Galore, or a huge implanted ass like Kim K., I just wanted CURVES. I have them from the front (which I knew would be easy for him because I had some of that already). I also have curves from the back. But from the side... I don't have much!? Huh? I don't know if it's just that time for me to be hard on myself or what! Ugh! 2. (More serious) Every morning since this procedure, when I wake up and take a deep breath I feel pain on the lower right side of my belly. To where I have to brace myself before! It feels EXACTLY like if you've ever had fluid on your chest and you get a shortness of breath when u breath in that is also accompanied by a bit of discomfort or even pain. I don't know what that is, but I don't like it! I told my cousin (who is an RN as I stated before) about it when she was taking care of me after the procedure, and she told me not to worry about it so long as it wasn't in my chest area. But it's that EXACT feeling!? I hate to go to his office tomorrow because of the previous stated reasons, but I changed my insurance the 1st of January and my regular Primary Doctor doesn't take my new provider. I then had my surgery 1/19/16, and have been healing since, therefore I didn't have a chance to find a new PCP. So depending on how I feel perhaps I will keep my appointment or just locate a new PCP. Either way I have to know why this is happening. Recovery Overall recovery is going very well. I've had 9 massages, and ladies believe me they are necessary! I have almost NO LUMPS at almost 6 weeks later! These pics are from right before my shower, and right after I've taken off the garment and foams. I will try to post a pic after the lines from the foam are gone, so that you all can see the results of my tummy. Still some swelling in the belly and waist. I cannot go over 20-30 mins without swelling. I still some pain (mostly feels like burning from stretching muscles). But overall ladies I am happy with my results! I love my waist and my hips. I love the roundness of my booty. My arms are great. My thighs are coming along (I'm waiting the swelling and unevenness out, as I already had some loose skin in that area before). The good thing about me is that I aim to be positive. Energy is never wasted ladies! If you have negative energy it will find its way into something, as will positive energy. So emit positive energy always! (unless u have to check someone... LMAO!)

1 month post op

Hello!!!! Here are my 1 month post op pics. These pics were taken last Tuesday at exactly 1 month post. Well... As far as recovery goes, ladies let me tell you after a few weeks your scar tissue begins to form. This is why massages are so IMPORTANT! My waist line literally feels like it's on fire because of the scar tissue being stretched at my massages. It is necessary for her to massage deeper now, however it burns!!! My neck hurts from sleeping in the same position for 1 month now. I was told I can sleep on my side but, I will not do that because I wanted fuller hips more than a bigger butt, so I will not do anything that can ruin the fat survival in that area. But overall I love my results. I'm still early in the healing stages. My butt changes shape almost every other day! Somedays it's round and small, while other days it wide and big! I did loose a lot of volume, but Dr. Salama says its normal! So please don't fall in love with your 2 week booty. That WILL NOT be your final size. Also I still swell up very bad if I'm out of my garment for even just 30 mins while I take a shower and lotion up! Speaking of lotioning up... Ladies if you are prone to stretch marks like me (I got them on my butt during puberty) then please start using an intense moisturizing oil now and continue after your procedure. I know that anytime my skin is stretch I will get them, so when I was pregnant I used Clarin's Huile Tonic. It is a very strong oil that prevents stretch marks and tightens the skin. You can buy it online or at Macy's for $60. I used it during my first trimester until 3 months after my pregnancy, and I didn't get any marks on my tummy and my skin SNAPPED right back! After this procedure I would wake up some mornings and take off the garment to find little lines looked like stretch marks and loose skin. So I immediately bought that product. I used it twice a day on damp skin. I've read reviews that girls cry about getting stretch marks on the stomach and it sucks! So take my advice! I would loose my mind if I got through pregnancy without them, only to get them after lipo! Pain... I haven't taken any pain meds on a consistent basis since week 3. I only take 1 of the prescription pain meds or extra strength Tylenol when I go to my massages. The pain is still worst in the mornings. And now I'm starting to get very sharp shooting pain in my back! It feels like little bolts of electricity! I've read that it's because the nerves are starting to function in that area again. Because since this procedure my back has been numb to the touch (except during deep massages).
