Sorry ladies I haven't updated in awhile. I'm doing well and have just been really busy with work, school, and the kids of course. I did remove my pics as I had a few people in my personal life looking for answers. So sorry about that I do like my shape it still is very natural and my waist is steady shrinking. I have a 27 in waist and 43 in hips. I just want to hold at this so I don't look too funny. I'm thinking about getting my TT in the beginning of next year unsure if I want to travel again or just stay in my home state. Still hoping for a little more fluff as I'm not completely soft but it does jiggle :-). The husband is very pleased and doesn't want me to go overboard.

I didn't use the foam I bought it made me really itchy so I stopped using it. Ab board I still use but they don't recommend until 2 weeks after your surgery. Only clearance I needed was the labs from my primary doc.

Hi...I was thinking about going to dr. Ortega so now that you've had your surgery awhile ago is your BBl still looking good I've heard lots of stories that the fat they put in shrinks also is your waist really tiny I've got an odd shape I want my waist definitely lipoed and injected into my hips and butt for a more hour glass figure I was wondering if you thought he was worth going to I'm out of state and don't want to waste money if it's not worth it

Wow guys so sorry I've been away for so long. The girls are not lyon once you get your surgery you start focusing on the aftermath of care, routine, and of course those of us with children try to balance that all in. I'm now 6 1/2 weeks post op and I feel better each day. I pretty much felt good after 1 week and am now trying to add in my regular exercise. So garment wise its hard to find someone here to alter my garment so I end of wearing a Vedette 100 over my garment pretty much all day and if I'm out and about that day I go with my Trufigure garment. I got both on Classicshapewear.com. I still swell some which is kinda irritating because my 28in waist bloats out to a 30 after a few hours :-( . It's pretty expensive to keep going down a size in garments so Ive been pacing my self. in a small now started with a large MariaE fa ja. My measurements are 36-28.5/43 still I think I do want to go to a 26 waist or at least 27 just to make my butt look a tad bit bigger. Although I'm 5'8" my breast size is 36DD so I don't want to look to crazy right now I look super natural and people just ask me if I'm a personal trainer LOL. So needless to say the results get better with time I was disappointed at first but my hubs told me to wait it out and he's not into super big butts so it's cool. Still hoping for a little bit more fluffing come my 8th week tho LOL.

Will upload pics soon I haven't really taken any in outfits like that..Go figure right.

Hi. I am unable to see your pics but I am sure that you look great. I am torn b/t Dr. Ortega and Dr. Frieman. Would you please send me the contact information for the Nurse. I am coming from NY and I am looking for a place to stay. Also, you said you were stiched. So many other ladies get the posy lymphatic massages, does the doctor not do this? He doesn't use drains either? Thanks so much.

Hey doll yes I deleted them for personal reasons. I think you will be seen quicker with Dr. Frieman but I wasn't impressed with his work. I'm happy with how Ortega sculpted me but I think for most girls who want a really big butt they have to do a round 2. I was stitched at the drain sites. He thinks lymphatic massages are good just wanted me to wait 2 weeks to get them. It was ok with me as I was in so much pain the first day I'm not sure how girls do it. My skin is still sore. No he does not use drains which was cool less cause for infection.
