First Post Op with definite Swelling

Hey ladies!!!!! So I'm still swollen in the entire abdomen. Some of it has went down since the day of surgery. It's just my full abdomen and back are hard, but it's not as bad as it was. I feel a few lumps here and there but I massage them everyday. I also have super swelling in my lower abdomen as well for some reason.

Here's the scoop:
I decided not to get any in the back of my butt because I didn't want big dump truck booty. I felt I had enough. So I told Hamel to put it in the sides and blow my hips out a little bit. I forgot how many cc's he put but I'll call and ask for anyone who wants to know. It's wasn't a crazy amount. I just got finished with my antibiotics. SO glad that's over. My mother wants a bbl now lol. Isn't that funny when she was the one skeptical? So we have to definitely schedule hers. I also am starting light workout today like walking around the neighborhood etc. I went back to work and I'm feeling fine. Everyone notices a difference lol. My stomach used to sit on my lap whenever I sat down and now I can look straight down at my feet and vajayjay lol. It's a different feeling guys. I love it. I still have a lot of time to go so I know my waist will only get smaller. So I'm leaning to be patient with my body.

Also excuse the mess in the pictures. Sunday was laundry day!! Xoxo

Made it to the other side

Idk why they are uploading sideways. But I made it through to the other side ladies!!!! I'm so sore but I took some pain pills that knocked me out yesterday.

Dr. Hamel and his crew took GREAT care of me. We did my urine sample and weighed me and then I changed into that paper down and the fake string thing. After that we went to the actual room where surgery would take place. I still wasn't nervous. As soon as those ladies came out with those needles to give a clindamycin shot my eyes got big as hell. I was like "no no wait wait wait" lol. I hate needles but I was a trooper through it. Then they had to take my blood and for some reason my veins did not want to bleed at al. So I got stabbed about 3 times before they found a being that would actually bleed. After that Dr. Hamel numbed me up with the lidocaine on all the parts that were to be operated on. It was a bit uncomfortable but it parlay tickled. I felt pressure on my ribs and could NOT stop laughing. His whole staff was laughing at me. After that he started the lipo and that part was fine it didn't really hurt too much. There were certain parts by my bone area that hurt a little bit. My back looks really nice it made me happy. My stomach has a lot of fluid in it because I told him put somewhere because the first batch was starting to wear off a little bit. I was being a brat lol. Every time I thought I felt something I was like "ummmm nope give me some more of that numb numb"

After that he did the fat transfer which did hurt more than I thought, but I t was because we rand out of the numbing fluid. They measure how much you get according to you weight and height. Since I had so many places to lipo He adhered to my wishes and stretched the numbing medicine as best he could. I was crying like a baby when he shot my booty up with that fat. But I'm okay now. I'm all sore in my stomach and back mannnnnn.

I'm HERE!!!!!
