day 2 post op and garment change

vivaciouscurves
WORTH IT$6,900
so on day 2 i was able to move around and go to the bathroom a few times....i have been mainly laying on my stomach in the bed. The nurse came to change my garment and give me a sponge bath. She asked did I want to take a shower I told her no since I was still getting a little nauseated when i stood up....didnt want to wish passing out again. She was the sweetest nurse ever. Very gentle. once she had the garment off we took pics which are attached. She said I was helping up nice and that she could see where my waist is going to get really small and my hips and curve will come in beautifully. She said she can see where he really went hard under my boobs to get all the belly fat which I was so happy about.
I stood up and ate soup at the counter then laid back down....my cousin cooked a great meal....grilled chicken breast....sauteed spinach and kale and wild rice which I was able to eat some of around 8pm. in taking all the meds with no issue except the pain pills have not made me sleepy at all. I have percocet but I have not gotten any sleep since i got home....maybe 4 hours. :( I am going to call the office today....i need sleep lol

good luck with sleeping, i have been miserable since sx and i do not see any light at the end of this tunnel. happy healing and good luck luv.

Sleeping has been a challenge. I started putting a pillow under my stomach so my back wasn't flat and that has helped. I also have a body pillow that helps but I think until I can sleep on my side it's gonna be a struggle lol. Happy healing to you as well.... We are gonna look great in a few weeks :-)

hey Hun! I’m so happy I came across your page. I have sooo many questions for you. lol. I’m having a BBL/BA with DR. Miami. some people are telling me don’t do a bbl and BA together it’s going to be so hard to heal, since you got your bbl do you think it wold of been ok to get a BA too or do you feel like it’s going to be to hard? also did you fly to Miami or drive? also is there a store near by to buy garments ect? how do you know what size to buy? did you end up buying the cell saver? my surgery is June 2019 I have about 80% of my supplies already lol. do you feel like the three weeks you took off from work was enough time? I’m going to take off a month to just recover and relax. you results look amazing!!! how are things now? thanks girl.

3 Days since the surgery ladies.....heres an update.

vivaciouscurves
Day 1: Was an up and down day. We got to the office at 9am....did paperwork and pee test and they put me in a exam room with a bed where I took a nice nap. Around 10am they came and took before pictures of me....shortly thereafter Dr. S came in to ask me what I wanted and to mark by body up. He is very friendly....I thought I would be very excited to meet him but I had taken a prescriber Xanex that morning to keep me calm so I was really chill when I met him. He said I know you have pics you want to show me but in your own words what do you want....my response "hips, tiny waist and a JLO booty". We joked around about his favorite rapper "Fetty Wap" and then around 11am the anesthesia guy came in and went over some things with me. I was taken back to surgery around 1230pm....got an IV and that was it.

When I woke up in recovery i was FREEZING like shaking and everything. I didn't feel awake at all. The nurse gave me gatorade and pushed me down in the wheel chair to the car where my cousin was waiting. My cousins phone was dead and I had 15% left and we had to use GPS to get back to where we are staying which is 30 min away. We made it to the house with 1% battery left on my phone....thank god! Now here is the bad part.

As I was getting out of the car and my cousin was helping me she said that when I stood up I said "i feel" and then I passed out!! Luckily it was in slow motion and she was able to catch my head before it slammed the concrete. I woke up and all I heard her saying was PLEASE HELP, i can't get her up, my phone died someone call 911, she had a seizure...HELP and she was banging on the neighbors doors. A couple guys rushed over to help when I came to I didn't even realize I had had surgery. They all looked at the passenger seat which was covered in a huge pad that had tons of fluid/blood from the drainage which is normal but thy all freaked. So as they tried to get me up I fainted again. The paramedics arrived in 5 minutes and where going to take me to the hospital but I was calm and told them I hadn't eaten since 8pm the night before...i just had plastic surgery and I needed fluids and to lay down. After my cousin spoke to the doctor and he said the same thing the paramedics put me on the stretched face down and rolled me into the house next to my bed where I was able to crawl on and lay on my stomach. The recovery nurse called me soon after and apologized so many times....she said they thought I was fine to leave since by blood pressure was normal and they had given me plenty of fluids. The paramedics said my blood pressure had dropped to 100/20. After I laid down I was ok. I finally had to pee around midnight and i had to get down on my knees first so I wouldn't be dizzy then i was able to stand up with assistance and go pee....the hole in the garment made it much easier.

May 1, 2015

1 day pre

Surgery tomorrow....

vivaciouscurves
So I touched down in MIA the morning and ran around get all the food and supplies I would need....mainly from walmart and target.....spent about $80...gatorade, water, soup, pineapples, crackers, pretzels, lunchmeat, chicken, bananas, etc. blue pads. I haven't been overly excited like I am winning a new Mercedes but I think I will when I get to the office tomorrow.

Taylor was a life saver....she picked up all my precriptions beforehand and delivered them to me tonight while I had my last Shrimp scampi meal of the night :) it was relish but the way. It was a nice added perk for going to Dr. S. I will keep you updated with my progress and post before and after picks as soon as I can tomorrow after surgery. Thank you all for your support....the day is almost here..... 9 hours and counting!!!
