All You Need to Know About Your Bbl Recovery Kit!

Soo..I have been sitting on this review for a while now! I am 12 days post opt and back to work. I have a desk job and I sit all day (I know...I have a bbl pillow). But for those of you dolls getting you procedure done soon, here are a few things that helped me and I learned through trial and talking to all the girls at my Recovery House and at Eres/Imagenes.
So for those of you already on this journey, CONGRATUALTIONS! I am so excited for you!!! (GET EXCITED HONEY!)
So for pre-opt you will be required to do blood work, which will tell the doctor about your blood count, iron, and if you have HIV (they obvi look for more than just that, but that all I could make out). Anyhow, I will suggest that if you girls are a few months from SX, go ahead and take Floradix (it is an iron supplement) especially if your anemic, it works wonders honey!
If you have high blood pressure, cut out the salt now and start eating bland, bc the last thing you want to do is get all the way to Miami to hear that they won't operate on you (which happened to a doll at my RH), and start changing your diet, more fruits and vegetables..try to slowly come off fast food.
Things that I recommend you buy for your recovery kit (that I purchased and used myself):
-Bromelain
-Folic Acid
-Biotin
-Vitamin C
-Floradix
-Dulcolax
-Tylenol Extra Strength
-B12
-Diva Cup (you cant wear pads bc of the faja. and I had my cycle the day of SX, I pop that Diva Cup right in and was good to go!!)
-Baby Wipes or Vaginal Wipes
-Alcohol Swabs
-Gauze pads
-Mederma
-Bio-Oil
-Medical Tape
-Go-Girl Urinal w/ the extender
-Marble (to put in your belly button after sx)
-BBL Pillow (I bought Doctor Miami's own)
-Compression Socks
-Dial Antibacterial Soap (your patient care coordinator will also tell you to get dial)
-Hand Soap (I was fancy and brought one from Bath and Body Works)
-Clorox Wipes
-Slippers/Slides
-Warm socks
-Comfortable Dresses for post opt
-Ab and Back Boards (buy them off Amazon, it is much cheaper)
-LipoFoam (Amazon, much cheaper)
-Hibiclens (I still use it to wash my wounds)
-Supligen, Ensure, Vitamilk (you may not be able to eat solids after surgery and chicken broth does nothing for you.)
ALSO
I brought a cooler with me because I stayed at Curvy Angels Recovery House. And It was the best thing I did. I was able to bring coconut water, my fruits (pineapples, which are great for inflammation, raspberries, blueberries, etc.), I also brought my own water, meal replacement a.k.a Supligen, Gatorade, and crackers.
Those where all the thing I used. However,I have seen a lot of other post and the girls at my RH with pretty much the same things..they did include (which I didn't use bc I did not need)
-Arnica Gel for bruising
-Arnica Pills
-Boppy Pillow
-Inflatable Donut
-Thang Tops
-Gloves
Anyhow that is all I can think about as far as your Recovery kit..I will post more very sson and tell you what Eres/Imagenes is like, also about my RH and who did my Massages.

So here are some pics. I was waiting for Eres/Imagenes/Jolie to send them to me..but per usual they are taking forever (a month and counting to be exact)
Upon reading some of these reviews, I feel like mines will not be as detailed. I stayed at CurvyAngels Recovery House. I got a 4 days special for 345. I follow Vanessa Williams (the owner) on IG and booked when i saw her do a "flash sale". My experience at the house..ummm...I will say that it was nice having a house full of recovery girls because they were all extremely sweet and super supportive. However, as far as my experience with the recovery house.
Vanessa is pregnant so she isn't really hands on, the transportation that they advertise as a part of your package is an Uber to and from the clinic for your pre and post opt. They dont shuttle you around town at all, you have to stay inside the house or the backyard ( at least that is what they said, bc of the home owners association) I personally woke up every morning around 6 and went for a walk up and down the block. They do not provide any vitamins, antiseptic wash, etc. Bring your own recovery kit and medication needed afterwards. Try and fill your prescription before getting to the house bc they wont be going to CVS or Walgreens to get your pain pills and antibiotics. Hence the pharmacy they chose to go to didn't take my Blue Cross Blue Shield. The young girl Brandy is very forgetful and distracted, Michelle's personality is flamboyant. You either like her or you dont. Vanessa's husband lives at the house so you cant walk around naked (even though at the time of my stay he was only there the last evening). The house was clean, but the young girl they hired just isn't attentive enough, so be vocal. Ask for clean sheets and towels and for her to clean the bathroom, because we had to! Now as for food...if you are particular, walk with your own stuff or arrange for uber eats. You wont get nothing extravagant. I was so unimpressed with it, I didn't eat all their meals either. I ate out and I came with meal replacements. You are not allowed to cook in their home nor will they let you store to many things in their fridge. You aren't even allowed in the kitchen area. (Liability) I mean i know i paid my money so i was going to walk outside and use the fridge. But that is my personality. Overall, i am very appreciative of Vanessa Recovery service, it basically was somewhere to sleep and have someone pick me up after surgery. I have heard of other non-licensed recovery house doing a better job than CurvyAngels and I have heard of stories of worst RH than CurvyAngels. If i had to do this again by myself, I would book Kenya the private nurse who tends to one person at a time or I would stay at an airb&b and have a family member tend to me. I wold not do a recovery house again (at least no CurvyAngels or Xanadu) . Even though the girls there made it worth while!! They were the best part of that house.

I took these today. Tomorrow makes one month exactly. The dark spots are the incision points.
