Thanks Hun! Ok no massages but i really make sure I wear my compression garment 24/7 except showering, I've been eating steak/lobster/fish/grilled chicken/ eating veggies lil broccoli and corn and also been eating potatoes. I just want to make sure I don't loose the fat because I didn't have much I had to gain about 15lbs before the surgery. The first garment in s tighter garment I purchased from the office it is really uncomfortable at first but as the swelling goes down it starts to get to big. So when I went back 3days later for dr o to check me I bought a spank material garment that was recommend by dr o it isn't as uncomfortable and it helps with swelling and clings to your body they told me to put that second stage garment on about a week or two after surgery when ever the first garment started feeling to big... So two garments I bought when I was there because your body will shrink when swelling goes down the first garment was a size large the second was a size medium.. I'm sure your results will make you happy!! Make sure u take a lot of before pictures because after the surgery your mind can play tricks on you and make u feel like your body isn't different until u go back and look at those before pics and see that he is a doctor sent from heaven!!! I had to go back and look and I was like dang he totally changed my body so much! When u keep looking at something u get used to it so make sure u have those before pics to remind u what u used to look like lol....

Thank you! Has your butt fully softened? I wonder how long it takes.. guess it differs with everyone. Yes..thank you for that reminder.. I had to remind myself before..during.. and now during my process of recovery of how everyone's shape is different..results will vary..but I am thankful that I have something..cause something is better than nothing..and plus I did not have much of any to begin with haha..at all..so yes thank you for that reminder and your advice! :) One more thing..I know this is an off question but did your behind itch any?

Lol yea my butt is pretty soft I have about a week until I hit my month mark which is when they say you will see your final results on your butt.... My butt didn't itch at all a little pain the first week but after that the pain fades on your butt... The fat transfer is the easy part it's the lipo recovery that hurts like hell.. It's numbness, itchy,has burning and tingling sensation, your always swollen and all this is going on mostly on your back and sides my stomach feels okay....so it's so uncomfortable I'm still not fully recovered from the lipo they say it can take anywhere from 3-6 months to be fully recovered from lipo..
