BBL 5’6” 29yo 156lb

Hello RS,
I heard about this website from my hairdresser, and have found it addicting ever since. I have been on the journey of looking at before/after pics, dr reviews, and general research of all the above procedures. This app has been a huge help and a primary resource for finding the right surgeon for me. I have talked about having tummy tuck since my first son (I gained too much weight and stretched out a lot). My partner decided no more kids, as two boys is plenty for us, so this is next on my agenda. I definitely went through the guilt phase, but realized I truly deserve this and I won’t feel bad about it. I choose Dr.Hazani for obvious reason, but also for his continued education and safely precautions he takes for his patients.

My pre-op is in ten days. I can’t believe how this process has evolved from a distant thought to a reality. I have my flight and hotel booked, and labs were good to go. I have just about all the supplies I need, just waiting for lipo foam and board, as I will be having the BBL first, then in June going back for the rest of the MM (BA & TT). Wish me luck????????????????

Post op was yesterday, i met Dr. Hazani at his office t 7pm, had a quick exam about what to expect, and gave me prescriptions. This part of the process was straight forward and informative.
The next day I went in at 10 am, filled out mounds of paperwork and went through with the procedure. The surgical facility was closing the next day so the staff was very chatty with each other, understandable when you find out you lost your job. Otherwise, my pictures were taken, nd Dr. said just let me do what I need to do which made me nervous, but from my requests, I think it will be just fine after all this swelling goes down. He also mentioned my abdomen will not be pretty, but after my TT in 6 months I can expect great results.
Not in much pain, just very uncomfortable to move from soreness and stiffness. Drainage is REAL. Slowly but surely learning how to best manage it to prevent leaking everywhere.
Took a shower today (1st day post op) not a great shower but enough to feel refreshed. Lastly, Im just trying to stay positive and take it one day at a time. I knew this was not going to be easy, and mentally prepared myself. It helps that I have a very supportive partner to joke around with.

Well Im six days in, and patiently awaiting my final results. The first three days were tough! Hard to move around, sleep, get comfortable, stretch, everything. The draining stopped after the second day, and I started massaging day three. Its really helped me feel better and be optimistic about healing. The fourth day thru today (sixth day) has been much better. Sleeping still kinda sucks, I wake up still and achy, but once up Im on auto mode. I know how to lay, sit, and am used to the restrictions of healing. I am able to do very light yoga stretches and be active all day. Today was also my first manual lymph drainage massage, it felt amazing. I have been using my lipo foam and pad to prevent any buildup and promote healing. Still taking herbal blood building supplements and drinkable vitamins to keep hydrated. This entire process has been hard on the body, but luckily It has not knocked me out fully and Im am still functioning and productive. As far as my results, I am happy about my shape and know it will only get better with time. Now I really cant wait for that tummy tuck in 6 months!
