Gaining weight, Ready to start exercising!

Hey guys, I am still healing and doing well. I'm not following my diet so I've gained weight but the curves are still there. Swelling is pretty much gone. I still have that burning sensation but not as much as a couple months ago. I will start exercising soon (I wanted my body to heal before going into that). My results are natural and beautiful. I just need to get the diet back on track and get rid of these scars! I am using bio oil still. I still wear the compression on and off but, that's about it. My life is basically back to normal. I will probably do a photo update at 6 or 9 months when I start exercising. I probably won't write for a long time so, I just want to let you ladies know that I do not regret my procedure for one second! I look great in clothing that I never was able to pull of before and I just look sexy, I am healthy, I had no complications and I truly had an amazing doctor and recovery house. Best of luck to all of you dolls!

Thanks for your posts. They were most informative and helpful. I hope to be going to Hanabergh for a BBL in March. Glad you love your results. I had a phone consultation with pictures I sent and he seems so wonderful

He is really good, very down to earth and professional. Be sure to ask exactly where your procedure will be done because is off is in ft lauderdale by the surgery center is in Miami. I didn't know that beforehand and had to move my hotel twice

Any new updates? Are you still happy with the lipo after almost a year? Any lumps or loose skin? How are the incision scars?

Hi, it's been almost two years. I have no lumps, bumps or loose skin. My scars are still visible and sadly I do not think that they will ever go away. I have tried mederma, bio oil and palmers scar cream. Yes, I am still happy with the results but would love to do a revision at some point. No regrets

The "on fire" / burning sensation in my side and back sucks!!! It's not horrible or unbearable but it is uncomfortable at times. I spoke with my plastic surgeon today and he said that my body is healing and that it can last for months (ugh!) he recommended taking Tylenol or ibuprofen. He said that it will get better in time. The feeling is off and on and I am definitely looking forward to getting past this.

Did any of you other hotties go through this, what did you do to aleviate the pain?

SUPPLIES AND ROUTINE (read before asking questions)

User Avatar
Island breeze
People are still inboxing me and asking about supplies. I will make one last post on everything that I took and used, after this I won't be responding to those questions anymore because you can just read my review....

I stayed at a recovery house (New Life Recovery house for five days) so I really didn't need to purchase any supplies to be honest, they literally give you everything. I would recommend purchasing arnica tablets and start taking them three days before your procedure and during recovery, arnica tea, antibacterial soap (I used dial), iron pills, Tylenol or ibuprofen, maxi dresses (it's easy to put on and they will cover your compression socks which should be provided with your procedure, if they are not then purchase a pair of compression socks to wear for the first 5-7 days). A cardigan to cover your bandaged arms. No need to wear panties at all because of the faja but pack bras. You can use a disposable cup to help you pee (I found the pee easy things did not work that well, so don't waste your money), wipes are also good to have on hand. A robe is also very important because they will not dress you in regular clothing after your procedure and its good to wear in the house. I used Metamucil and did not have problems with constipation so I recommend purchasing the powder and the cookies to have during the first 3-4 days. Lastly, buy neosporin (the type that's says its for scars, itching and bruising is best) arnica gel or cream for the bruises that you will have and bio oil to help the scars heal. That's all that I purchased. If you are not staying in a recovery house, you will have to purchase pads for the bed for the first five days because you will drain a lot!

I didn't use the arm compression that I bought. They gave me bandages, I wore it for the first five days and then they said I didn't need anything else.

As far as medication, I drank arnica tea daily (I went through two boxes) and I took my arnica pellets daily until they were finished. I also took iron pills daily. I only took my prescribed pain pills twice and then I just took about 8 or so Tylenol pills in total before my massages. I'm not taking anything currently.

For food, I use salt free seasonings to season my food, I really limit my salt intake to avoid boating. I eat a lot of pineapples both fresh and juice as it helps with inflammation. I also eat a lot of other fruits, salads, yogurt, apple sauce, oatmeal, eggs and other healthy snacks.

Topical treatments, I massage myself with antibacterial soap 10 mins everyday before I shower. After I shower, I massage arnica gel on myself, treat my incisions with neosporin and finally rub bio oil on all over. I still do this to date.

I wear my faja and foam pads and ab boards 24/7 but I will only wear the faja at night now that I am six weeks. After three months I will stop wearing the faja altogether. I am wearing a medium faja that I got on Amazon, it comes with five rows of hooks to adjust so it is really great. After my procedure they put me in a 3x faja, it was too big and after 5 days I purchase an xl and then After another 7 days I started using my medium faja that I am still wearing to date.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the share. Would love to see your results at this time. I'm at 3 weeks and can see the difference but still have lumps around my abdomen. What's the name of the 5 hook faja you bought on Amazon?

September 13, 2016
Its jus a girdle. A garment . faja is just a Spanish word
User Avatar
September 14, 2016
It's a full body compression garment. They usually provide you with a free one after surgery. Will they do that for you? You should find out if one will be provided. Since you are doing a bible you will need everything that I listed as well as a booty buddy (like a boppy) for you to sit on
September 17, 2016
Ok thk u
