Sorry i have not been responding or posting pics. I worry and obsess over the decreasing size of my butt and the fat rolls on my back and lumps and bumps and a zillion other things. This process really brings out your phobias hang ups and secret hopes and fears. Soo much so, that i decided to stop looking stop taking pics and stop worrying...,,, i even started sitting on my butt. Whatever happens will happen.
I look better in my clothes and in the mirror. I still look fat on candid shots. ???? idky..,you can't tell from the pics, but my stomach is flat. My back/waist is much smaller but i have a roll. Cant wear a back out shirt, hopefully it will continue to shrink. My original faja/ girdles are too big and loose. If i dont wear anything, feels like my whole body/all my fat is falling down or settling low. My doctor recommends wearing only 12 hours i day, i usually wear about 20 hours a day. To replace i bought a waist cincher and medium spanxs type girdle at sears 20 for cincher 50 for spanx.
The dent across my butt upper hip area, that i had before surgery, is becoming more visible. Other than that my butt has a nice shape. It is now regular average sized, i think. At this point i am happy, hey its much better than what i had, but its not the butt of my dreams....if it gets any smaller i will be crushed. I am hoping that after the 5 week mark, most if not all of the volume has already been lost. It seems 30% smaller now. I am considering a revision, if my dents become more visible, it will be hard for him to refuse. Cant see them in girdle but the area is circled in another pic. Doctors must approve u for a revision. Although i dont want to go through the trouble or the pain again. Feels like having a baby, many women go back for a 2nd round and its like they forgot how painful it is, like when u have a baby and then want another, forgetting that u damn near died. The mostly male doctors describe it like its a walk in the park minor outpatient surgery. No, it is major surgery with a long stressful uncomfortable recovery and any time u r put to sleep u r risking death. So i dont want to rush into another surgery unless its necessary. A revision costs about 2000 i think. I know u have to pay for anesthesiologist and hospital fee lab work. Plus im from out of state so recovery house plane ticket transportation. It will quickly add up. Anyway, i wouldn't say that a recovery house is absolutely necessary maybe the first night to make sure u dont die, but other than that u can order take out and walk around. Bringing a friend is fine, plus i dont like being treated like a child or being told what to do. My recovery house had lots of rules. Also i cut holes in the butt cheeks, which i immediately regretted

The dents you had before will come back but you will start to shape. I used Dr. Alvarez, I wasn't happy at first because it was too big, then it started to loose volume then it finally started to settle. Your waistline will start to shape. Don't be too hard on yourself, it will look better soon. I finally started to see my shape about 4-5 months PO... so just eat right and get those lymphatic massages ASAP! It helps with the knots in your stomach and helps shape you. Hang in there. I went through the same thought you are going through. I'm finally feeling good that I did it. It's been 7 months for me now.

Keep wearing your garment with the foam, it helps keep your stomach in shape. I used the anti-biotic sab on my dark skin and it lighten up very fast. I believe it's from the tool he uses to tighten your skin back. AND DO NOT SIT OR LAY ON YOUR BUTT.

I must say you had me LOL at "sitting and laying on your butt". Honestly I ain't judging, whatever gets you peace of mind is okay. We all need to take a breather at some point so the recovery process doesn't drive us crazy.
I was just looking at your update and saw that your last update was actually 1 of July, and it's barely been one week., even people like me who follow your journey felt you've been absent for almost a month., lol. The obsession and mind games that comes with this surgery is on another level.
But like you said, we just have to find a way to take our minds off it.
That said, you look good. Your butt has definitely reduced, but you sure look different from before surgery. And believe me, if my butt look like yours right now, I have no reason to seek a bbl, I'll be okay with it. It might not be the dream booty, but booty is still booty.
You look younger now from your pictures, nice coke bottle backside.
So sorry it's been a bit bumby recovery for you, but I must say you're doing it with the right attitude at this point. So it can only get better.
You still didn't have to write this update, but you did, and I thank you. Very much appreciated. Cos this is the hard reality that comes with bbl.
Like you said, these doctors really do a great job at convincing you that it's just an out patient procedure, and you can fly in 3-5 days, and then you think you'll probably have recovered in 3-5 days as well. So it's good to prepare our minds for a long slow recovery, the pain might not necessarily last, but the numbness, discomfort, mind games, last for months.
Thank you for the RH info too. An average of 150$ a night is a lot, I'm thinking of using Airbnb 50$. I'll still buy my food and still have money left compared to 50$ a night. And no rules too. The Airbnb I'm looking at is 5 minutes away from spectrum and close to the airport too. So I'll get my massages at spectrum, that'll give me more motivation not to lay in bed all day. Spectrum offers one free massage and 3 extra at 140$ total. Still cheaper than RH.
I might use RH just the first night to make sure I don't die like you said, lol. Or I might just leave it, the Airbnb host is really nice.
Thanks again.
Sorry I had to send you a couple of private messages when you were actually trying to stay of RS. :)

I havent been posting lately, sorry. Im having issues with my new look. My butt still looks good in clothes but it is dropping. I had a raised boxy area at the top of my butt above my hips. As i lose weight this dent/bulge is becoming more noticeable. Also the middle of my butt looks flat. Im not sure if i need a revision or a touch up. Or if i can get lipo on those bulges, only, will post pick
