You're actually not suppose to wear jeans for a long while. It have give you a permanent crease around your waist if you sit too long in them.

Thats exactly what im wearing today lol. I'll take some pics for u. And I try to eat as much as I could. Everytime im hungry I get a good amount of food. I dont like feeling hungry I feel like the booty gunna disappear lol. I have a lot of stretch marks unfortunately and the scarring is slowly going away. SLOWLY.

Waist and hips

Rockyroad71November 2, 2015
Yall I finally fit into my other garment. It takes some work to get into but damn what a difference!! Ortega really gave me a small waist and big hips! I couldnt believe how I looked when I got to the mirror. I used to be so wide in the stomach. My mom saw me and called me slim jim cuz my waist is so small lol. Im not even impressed at the ass anymore im so stuck on the waist and hips. And it just to think my swelling isnt completely down yet. Still have a long way to go. Im like 16 days post op and very impressed. Went from spongebob to straight curvyness! Pics dont do justice. Just wanted to give a quick update:)

You're doing well. I had my surgery Aug 28, 2015 done by Dr ortega. I'm still experiencing swelling. I was 161 before surgery and yesterday I weighed in at 162! Thank God! I've been back in the gym too. But I totally agree, this surgery is a mental process. Happy Healing

You made it and you are looking Great. I am glad you mention your shower .... I had a person to tell me to be careful taking the first shower after your surgery ... I brought a cheap shower chair and had my shower head change to use hanging or hand held.. Happy Healing : )
