Some sitting and laying down photos at almost three months. I was just playing around with different angles to see if I could get a good hip to waist ratio. I'll update again soon.

2 months and 2 weeks post-op (QUESTIONS)
I wrote in my last update that I was down to 109 lbs. Its been awhile since I weighed myself so I was assuming I was the same. I got on the scale today and I am 108.0 lbs so definitely the smallest I've ever been since I was probably 13 years old.
I still have knots on my lower sides (flanks) which is inflammation from the lipo and the skin on my stomach is veeeeery loose and flabby. If I sit or lay a certain way it will wrinkle up (looks like fat rolls) but if you grab it, you can feel that there is no fat inside and it's literally just a lot of loose skin.
Did anyone else have this problem? If youve had "knots" from lipo, what did you do to get rid of them and how long do you think it took for them to all go away? Also, how long did it take for your skin to recover and tighten back up? I feel so weird right now lol thank you I'm advance
ps. wondering if maybe I should go back to get more massages for my sides ?? hmm

My plan is to one a week, from next week, even though I've already had 15. Do you think the compression garments may have flattened the butt and hips. My butt and hips have flattened quite a bit also.

Try this product called gel-v for tightening your loose skin. I have a pic of it on my page. Also for the knots, you could buy a handheld massage device to massage some of the knots out. Are you still getting massages?

Brace yourself for a long update !!
(chest, waist, hips)
before surgery I was: 32-25-35
1 month 1 week post-op: 32-23-38
2 months 2 weeks post-op: 32-23-37
Yes I did lose another inch around my butt since the last time I took measurements and I'm literally only a two inch difference then before surgery. I look a lot better than before but I'm completely healed now and I'm almost back to my old self.
Before surgery, I originally weighed 112lbs and after gaining weight I managed to make it to 120lbs for the surgery. After surgery, I've slowly been losing weight and going back to normal. I assumed I was just going to stop when I reached 112lbs but I actually weigh 109lbs
now.
My butt and hips were definitely bigger after surgery when I weighed 120lbs. But I've lost all my weight since then. My advice to anyone getting the bbl is if you gain weight for surgery, and you want all of the fat to stay, you NEED to keep up your weight which is something I obviously failed to do.
I have a fast metabolism and I'm actually trying to go vegan at the moment. I do not eat a lot and I do not eat many fatty foods or take in a lot of protein like I did before surgery.
With that being said, I still do not know if I'm disappointed that I lost most of the hips and projection I had after surgery. I feel that after I made the decision to go vegan it was obvious I was going to lose some of the fat and the weight, and I also plan on going to the gym next year. Eating all that food to keep up my weight is too much work for me since I highly despised having to eat constantly to gain weight before sugery. I've pretty much accepted myself for how I look now and realized this is as good as it's going to get for my body, which is the two inch difference.
Conclusion: I'm still happy with my results, and I definitely look better than before. I'm hoping that after I go to the gym next year and tone my abs and etc that it will improve things even more. But knowing my body and my metabolism, I expected that this would happen and I would lose most of the fat considering I didn't have much to begin with. If you don't gain weight easy and your matobolism is fast like mine, if you want your results to stay, keep up your weight after surgery,, I can't stress this enough. Also, if you plan on being active and working out, you need to try twice as hard to manage your weight to make sure you don't burn any of it. It's a lot of work!
**NOTE** my results have nothing to do with dr.mcadoos work!! He did PERFECTLY with my body after surgery. I was a 10 lol I was waay bigger after surgery which is obvious in previous pictures, but any hips or projection I lost were due to the way MY body responded and because of the choices I made after surgery. Please keep this in mind for anyone who is interested in going to him
I've also decided to start laying and sitting down. I was told wait three months for optimal results but I think where I'm at now with my body is my final stage so I don't think it will matter if I sit or lay. I am still being cautious and making sure it's not too much pressure though
I hope this post isn't too negative! I loved dr. macadoos work and I'm still happy with my body. I lost a lot of fat and projection because of my choices and the fact that I burn fat easily. Don't hesitate to ask any questions I don't want to give the wrong impression :)
I've posted two photos, one from my bathroom and bedroom just for a different perspective. The side and back still look the same as previous photos.

Hi I've made my deposit to Dr. McAdoo already.. & I have been reading reviews on his BBl & I've been seeing before and after pictures they look very well. & with yours I can tell a difference in your before and after pictures. I think you look amazing I'm so excited to get mines done. I stay in Orlando so I will be driving there as well but I'm going to be there that whole week just in case any complications. After your surgery how did you feel? & was it hard for you to sit down to use the bathroom afterwards?

Thank you and good luck <3
It's definitely smart to stay a week because they will require to see you again the day after surgery and then again after one week to basically give you another check up, answer any questions you have, and help you with your drain.
As soon as I woke up from surgery, I was in pain for about 10 minutes, I told the nurse and she gave me something through the IV and I immidately felt better. But being completely honest, I was NEVER in pain after this. I didn't buy or take any pain killers. Even when I was leaving the clinic I wasn't in pain. I was really swollen, and I felt weird and I was walking really slow because everything felt extremely different. We drove back to orlando the same day and once I got home all I did was walk around. At some point I started feeling sore but nothing ever hurt. If anything, for about a month I just felt uncomfortable and awkward. But I walk and move normally now so it just takes a while to get use to everything.
I'd say for the first month, I never sit down to pee. The garment has a hole so I'd pee in a cup. If you're drinking a lot of water properally, you're going to have to pee every hour and it's never going to stop lol at least that's how it was for me anyway. This is a good sign though because it means you're drinking a lot of fluids and you're body is going to be draining, that's how your lympathic system gets rid of inflamation. So you'll pee a lot. I tried to eat mostly a plant-based diet since vegabtales are easier on the digestive system, it encourages the body to focus on healing, so I didn't have to poop very often. When I did have to go, it was definitely a challenge having to take off the garment and the lipo foams around the drain and put everything back on. I would feel dizzy the first week if I took my garment off for too long. I definitely suggest having someone there to help you if you can and someone that doesn't mind seeing you nude or going to the bathroom lol it was almost impossible for me to put my garment and foams back on by myself. Id say I got completely comfortable with everything around two weeks.
Sorry this comment was so long lol if you have anymore questions just let me know :)

Thank you sooo much.. I'm glad I'm able to talk with someone that have already had it done by the same doctor.. I'm so ready to get it done, the staff is very nice, Ms. Jenny is the lady that keeps in contact with me .. I wanted to know did your butt stay hard or did it go back to its normal state? & The hotel stay is very expensive in Miami so I was thinking about just staying for 3 days then go back to Orlando.. I wanted to know more about the massages that you have to get done.. did they hurt?? & do your stomach still have knots in them? & I have a couple of wish pictures do Dr. McAdoo ask for those prior to surgery? I was told that they provide me with a garment but I know it's going to be messed up so do I buy more?

No problem! My butt was hard for about a month and then it slowly started to soften. I'm at 2 months and 2 weeks right now and it's completely soft and feels natural again. I actually gained some cellulite back into my butt which I also had prior to surgery. Cellulite is unattractive to some people, but I also have a little on my thighs so for me personally, I think it just helps make everything look more natural.
They recommend you come back a week later. If you stay for only three days it's up to you if you want to take the trip to go back down there. I personally did not re visit the clinic after one week. I felt like everything was still going well and I actually took my drain out myself which they do give you instructions if you decide and are comfortable enough doing it at home. Again, I don't reccomend this and if you have any doubts definitely go back after one week but if you feel like you're absolutely positive everything is going well, I don't see the problem in saving yourself the trip and doing it yourself.
I had lympathic massages done at calm relief in maitland, florida. I'd like to think that my pain tolerance is a little high, for me the massages did kind of hurt. They were an hour long and I tried to get them done at least twice a week. I want to say I got about 7-8 massages in total I really don't remember. So they did hurt a little but it's hard to explain because they also felt kind of good and relieving lol after the first couple massages and your inflammation starts going down I definitely enjoyed and looked forward to getting more massages because it was a good kind of pain and I always felt better afterwards. lol sorry if that's confusing. I do still have some "knots" in my flanks (lower sides) because that area was a very tough spot for lipo. I've heard and read everywhere online that it does take time for the inflammation to go down so I'm just trying to be patient. I only had massages during my first month after surgery. If I had the money I'd definitely keep going back to get more lol
They do have garments at the clinic and all the supplies that you'd need to buy. The garment was definitely over $150 although I don't remember the exact price. But prepare to be spending a little bit of money there on supplies. It was convienent for me though to be able to try on the garments and everything at the clinic before I bought anything because I had absolutely no idea what size I was or any supplies I needed to get lol I only bought one garment, which I definitely regretted because you are going to drain all over the garment. Almost everyone does. It will look kind of like blood but it's just fluid. Since I only had one, every time I needed to take a shower I had to wait for my garment to go through the washer and dryer because I didn't have a second clean one to wear. They reccomend ONLY taking your garment off for massages and showers and to wear it as much as possible, so definitely wish I would've gotten two.

Ok Thank You so much!!! I'm nervous but as I've done the researches I believe that he is a good doctor. When it get closer to my surgery date I'm going to buy like 3 garments online and she told me I get one after surgery but it's already included in my pricing.. Are you going to upload anymore pictures? & When did you actually start sitting on your bottom. I was told that you need to drink a lot of water after surgery. About how would u say it took in the surgery room? & about how much was the cost of hotel stay?

October 2, 2016
I only stayed at a hotel for one night just for the next day visit. I stayed at a Hyatt and it was probably about $120. I think it was about a five minute drive from the clinic. I'll probably upload more photos when I get around three months and then just update every month. I started directly sitting around two months because I honestly felt like the results I had at the time were my final results and sitting wouldn't make a difference. I'm sitting and laying directly on it all the time now.

You're lucky. I'm 29, 29, 38. Doctor did tt and distorted my entire body. I'm so pissed and sad.

Even worse... I just measured 29, 31, 38. Doc from hell pulled me in too much when he did tt and there's nothing I can do to expand. If I try to gain weight it will go in my tummy areas.
