Ok so sorry for not updating but there's not much to say...I'm a month post op & feeling a lot more like myself...maybe too much like myself! I haven't been wearing my garment :/ it was creating these weird squiggly lines on my sides because my waist/stomach wasn't big enough to keep the side zippers straight anymore. But great news is Dr O said whatever you have at the end of the first month is basically what will stay! When I got home my booty measured at 50"...& now my booty measures at 49"!!!! So it looks like my booty kept everything! Thank the booty gods for that! I've been sitting without my boppy pillow here & there but I'm trying to get used to life without it...we were & still are slightly inseparable! Lol

Oh random thing I thought of that no one else I've seen has mentioned! My back in the middle & lower back was originally feeling like it'd rip if I bent too far forward or turned too far to either side...I don't know if that's because of where the stitches were there or not. But it's finally starting to get back to normal.

Another heads up! Since I was starting to feel like myself I bought a wii & my friend & my gf & I started playing active video games on it...bad idea for me. My swelling in my torso went crazy! The worst I've seen it & it hurt really bad! So I'm gonna take that as a I need to sit down & chill because I'm still recovering. I woke up this morning to see that after 2 days the swelling is actually starting to go down! I was getting scared that I screwed up...

That's all I can really think of right now...

Question: Does anyone know how early on you can start waist training after the surgery?! I want to start getting my waist down!

In regards to the waist training are you talking about corset training? That's at 2 months. In regards to waist cinching I started at week 3. My waist is down to a 25. I live in my garment tho, with epifoam.
Would you mind sending me info on the garment & stuff you're talking about...I really have been winging this recovery :/ & yea I was talking about waist cinching! My goal waist a 26 or smaller! I'd love to know how you got to a 25!
The waist cincher is by Anne cherry. I got mine off eBay for 39.99. I have alot of helpful tip on my page. I wrap myself 3 times a week .
Good info. Im in my 3rd week and it happened to me the same with the faja sometimes i think it makes my body looks worst so im using de foam but still... I want to buy the waist chincher too
Thank you. No problem.... You really do need your garment and waist cincher in my opinion.
Thanks for your update love. Do u have any pics
Yup I'll post em now in a new update!
How long did it take for you to go back to work?
About 2 weeks...but I'm a hairstylist so that was a struggle I probably should've waited 3 wks :/
Which boppy pillow did you buy? & where did you get your garments? My surgery is 12/15!
Did you have a hard time contacting Vivian I've been trying to set up arrangements for my bbl

Getting back to being me

Ok...so it's been a little over a week since my surgery & I'm finally starting to actually feel like my goofy & fun self again...thank Baby Jesus! I've had a couple of breakdowns but with the help of my few friends & girlfriend that know about the surgery I've made it through. For example one of my best friends is a bartender at a bar in my town & I was dying to put makeup on & do my hair to get out of the house for a bit...after going back & forth on whether I would actually go out I finally decided that I would! After doing my hair & makeup I needed a break & decided to lay down for a breather...well my 14 lb cat decided that my booty looked like a great surface to run & jump off of as he enjoyed his Saturday night running like a madman throughout the house! I screamed so loud! Ugh! Then after that something as simple as biting myself chewing him brought me to tears & had me about to give up on going out despite the fact that I was all dressed & ready to go...but my girlfriend wiped my tears...told me that Beyonce would be disappointed in me messing up my beautiful makeup & told me I could do this...so I pushed on. Next obstacle though...getting in the car...the front passenger seat. Ugh I couldn't get in like a normal person & there was no little thingy to hold onto...I started to have another breakdown but my friends pushed me on! & finally I got in...ugh! (I still sat on my boppy pillow). Getting out of the car was a lot easier! So as soon as we got to the bar...the security guard (whom I know) gave me a huggggggge hug & squeezed my waist so tight! I wanted to die! My waist is so tender to the touch still! From there on out I'm sure a lot of people thought I was being stand offish because I waved to everyone I knew from a distance to avoid hugs! My friend that was the bartender was shocked that I actually came out & I even stayed longer than I originally planned but after about a hour I was damn near screaming at my friends that I was ready to go! Besides my growing pains from standing so long...people started buying me shots & I hadn't planned on drinking that much.

But anywho...my friend took my stitches out on Saturday & I'm moving so much better! My garment is getting super loose in the waist & my booty seems to be the same size...I can't find my measuring tape because since I've been measuring myself so have my friends lol. But as soon as I do I'll post my measurements. I just took off my garment so when I post my measurements I'll post pics! I love my results more & more everyday! & I love waking up to my shrinking waist & flat stomach & of course my phat booty! My best friends call my booty a mountain & call me Judy (because of big booty judy) & have even started saying 'nothing's perfect in this world beside your ass!' Lol so that's my update for now...I can't wait to see my booty in a lacy thong...once I do put one on I'll post a pic of that too! Xoxo

Which recovery house did you stay at? Was it clean and did you have your own room? How much did you spend for it? Congrats on the booty! Also did you have massages, did Dr Ortega use drains? Lol, sorry Ive just seen so many different experiences.
I stayed at my consultant Karla's house...she has an extra room for girls to recover...I had my own room it was super clean & nice...I paid $700 for food & the room for 5 days & transportation...Dr O doesn't do drains...I haven't had a massage yet except for when my gf gives me one when she's feeling nice because it hurts so bad id rather it be someone that I know that I'm cursing out rather than a masseuse :/ lol I think I answered all of your questions
Did they recommend that u stay two weeks?
soooo happy everything got better for you! you have a great support system. i am so anxious to get my surgery next year! thanks for all the updates, keep em comin lol
Thank you! & good luck on your upcoming surgery!
