13 days Post-op Pics
I am now 13 days post op. It gets better everyday. Most of my bruising has gone away, i was unable to take the arnica pills, they gave me an upset stomach but i am still using the gel. I am still wearing the abdominal board but not the foam. I have transitioned to a new garment it doesn't have the zippers on the side so its more comfortable it keeps me from having to wear the foam. I am still not sitting on my butt, i use the bbl pillow to drive and i lay on my side and stomach to sleep. My stomach and back is still numb and lumpy in places, i am massaging in the shower and out of the shower. I also had my arms done, he didn't take much out cause he didnt want me to have excess skin, i am wearing ace bandages on them and i can definitely tell they were done but they still hurt. I started back to work today its rough cause i cant sit, but i will be transitioning myself to a bobby pillow by my 20th day post op, reading most of the MD responses to when u can sit on your butt post bbl most of them say after 2 weeks the fat survival should be there. My butt hasn't went down any, i forgot to ask how much was put in, hell i didnt have any so im happy. I haven't taken any pain meds since maybe my 5th day. Its not easy but I wouldn't take it back, I'm happy.
Recommended Essentials
When i stayed at the recovery home, this toilet topper made my life so easy, i came home an ordered one, its 4in thick from walmart for 19.99. This massager is helpful through the first few weeks, it helps move the fluid out and the heat application feels really good, it was 29.99 at Wal-Mart.
I made it!!!
I made it through. Thank God, i made it through. This has been harder then either of my births or any surgery I've ever encountered. I was mentally and emotionally ready but i must honestly say i was not physically prepared.
I started my adventure by staying at assistance for life (Karla), the first night in one of the houses was a lil shakey but i only stayed there one night, i went to spectrum the same day i arrived and payed my balance and then waited for their call with surgery time. Surgery time was 10:30am 5/10, i arrived at 9:45am, to say that clowns run Spectrum Aesthetics would be actually giving them a step up, i signed in at the desk and took a seat, so around 10:25am I hear one them say Alvarez is on his way did his patient make it here, the rest of the dummies said i don't know, so instantly my phone starts to ring, i walk up to the front and ask are you calling me, she said are scheduled with Dr Alvarez, i said yes, she said did u sign in, i said 45min ago yes, dummie didnt say anthing else. Anywho i go to the back to finally meet Alvarez, really nice guy, not in a rush, knows what he is doing, we talked for a while and got familiar, he then sent in Carlos the anesthesiologist, we talked for minute, i gaved him my expectations of a smooth intubation and extubation, 15 min after that lights were out, i woke up shivering like never before fully clothed including faja. Back to the recovery home, this home was very nice, i was greeted by Helen and Anita whom helped through a very rough night of dizziness and vomiting which lasted for approximately 2days, they nursed me back when i couldn't nurse myself and i am forever grateful to them. By 3rd day post op i was moving around better and it was time to fly back home. Let me tell you all Dr Miami booty buddy total waste of money, it was the most uncomfortable plane ride i have ever endured, it has also been useless these 2 days i have been home. Anywho the pain, the pain is the worst the first 2 days then it turns more into a soreness, the faja is uncomfortable as well especially with the board and foam in place but it feels better with it on than off due to the soreness. Overall the worse part of this entire ordeal is not being able to sit on your but, i am only 5 days in and i am about to go crazy, thats what i want to know from u ladies is when the hell will i be able to sit????? My booty looks really good, i havent took any photos because im waiting for the swelling and bruising to go away as i am light skinned and it looks as if someone jumped on me!! Other than that its a real physical challenge. Im tired if laying on my stomach already....
