I was following your story and you look great! Dr. Ortega performed a tummy tuck for me in 2015 and now I'm going for a bbl with him in less then 2 weeks I am excited and nervous at the same time. My biggest fear right now is not waking up from anesthesia after the stories from a few girls who passes Away in Miami just a few weeks ago. I know he's a great Surgeon and he's double boars certified plastic surgeon I just can't help to feel uneasy. Your post are of great help and very informative. Honestly the tummy tuck recovery wasn't as bad as people make it seem is just hard not to move around like you are used to specially when you have kids to attend to. I drank a lot of natural juices made in my nutri bullet which I think helped me a lot in my recovery. Thanks for all the great info!

So ladies I'm almost 2 months post op and I'm still sore n very itchy. My butt is still alittle hard but I can sit . Still getting the massages because without them is be a mess n ladies get them they are necessary. I also still use my hand massager when I can't get to the therapist. I use it every night n morning to loosen up . Always wear your garment faja . I wear it 23 hrs a day one hour free time. I went from an XL faja to a me fun N now need to order a small and it's only going to be 2 months. I did on the other hand just order my 9 bone non latex waist cincher, no bone waist cincher and boy short butt lifter they should arrive Tuesday. Till next update God bless

Thank you!! The doctor was great but I will never go back to aesthetics.. I will be going back to see dr. Ortega for my breast in about 6 months at his personal office. But he did exactly what I was looking for and he showed me what he could and could not do. I can't complain very happy with my results

Well ladies recovery is going great! Dr Ortega really is amazing. I'm still a little sore but not anything a tight garment or cincher can't fix. Ladies get your massages, do them yourself as well buy a massager as well and take the lipo foam off after two weeks, if you want shape put that faja on. If it hurts then it's working. No boards either .. Let the faja and massages go to work.. I will post some pics .. By the way I was 1 st in an XL garment and now I'm in a medium waiting on my small faja to come in because this one isn't tight on me any longer.

When did you start sitting on your butt?

I started to sit just recently like two weeks ago. On and off , I still use my butt pillow, I'm used to it now. But I can't stay on it too long it feels different. It hasn't completely healed either so I don't want to lose whatever fat is in there still healing. But for example I have a 30 min drive to work I now drive without it. But if I'm in the car longer I bring my butt pillow . How did your sx go?

So you started sitting at about 5 weeks post op? My sx went pretty well. Im at 2 weeks and 4 days post op and I feel pretty ok. My right foot has been hurting so much because I have been standing up for the most part at work. I still haven't driven yet. Will probably wait another week to do so.

I have a follow up with Ortega today and I will ask him when I should sit. I will probably wait a little longer than what he tells me though
