BOOKED with Schulman -New York, NY

Hi everyone!!! I know I haven't posted in a while but I'm still here!!! I'm quickly approaching my 3 week mark so I wanted to share some pics. As of this week, I'm only wearing a squeem size small sometimes, mostly at night. I can definitely use the second row of hooks now. I haven't started working out yet but when I do I think it will make a major difference with my tummy. I'm sitting, but I still sit on a bolster pillow when I drove because I drive a lot. I have not been able to bring myself to sleep on my back BUT I do sleep on my sides. Kind of. Lol. I look amazing in my clothes girls!!!! I can't believe that's my body. Dr. S absolutely transformed my shape. It's sick. Lol.

I forgot to include this previously. I'm 5ft and at the time I went in for my consults I think I was 130lbs. Both doctors I met with advised against gaining weight because first, you may gain the weight in an area you hadnt planned on getting lipoed and second, you don't know if what you'll gain will be visceral fat.

Despite that advice, I decided I wanted to gain 5-7 lbs so I could take the chance and hopefully give my PS more fat to work with. I'm super short and on my frame 5lbs can be pretty noticeable but I figured anything less than 10lbs wouldn't be an overwhelming amount if weight to lose if he couldn't use it. By surgery day I had gained a little less than 6lbs.

All that to say, it def helped. Dr. Schulman noticed the weight gain and said it would allow him to hopefully reallocate :) a little more to my butt. During my consult he guesstimated he could probably do 1000cc to each side, and he was actually able to do 1250 to each. Just wanted to share that for whatever it's worth. On my frame I think gaining 10-20lbs would have been excessive, plus I know my skin can accommodate but so much fat anyway. Just some stuff to keep in mind.
