Periods after Surgery. I wish I was warned.

I'm heading on to be 3.5 months post surgery and in another 2 weeks I'll be okay making my review of my doctor but let's discuss something. Ever since I got surgery I never need a calendar to know when my period is coming. My body some how starts to feel as if I'm less than a week post up all over again. Swelling, uncomfortable even sitting down, and you name it! Periods are the worse thing to experience (at least for me) after surgery. Even with birth control these systems are the worse kinds of PMS ever in life. It's like my body gets confused. This is about to be my fourth period post op and these symptoms aren't easing up.

Before Pic!

I went to my 3rd post op appointment today. I'm about 2.5 months and if there was anything keeping me on the fence about looking different the before picture Dr. T showed me pushed me over. This is simply amazing!!

2 months Post

I am still bruised!!!!! I don't know why or how but I'm still bruised and even got a massage; no help! The shape of my butt changes me depending on the day or picture. I purchased another faja but I realized it was compressing my butt a little (left marks) and it was a size L. I told the woman I wanted a size bigger on the faja but she tried to convince me otherwise so I'm still wearing my post op garment. I'm going to have it taken in this weekend to be tighter. I still sit on my booty pillow as much as possible. Even though I can officially sit now. I'm writing this at 9 weeks post. My hips are a 41" and my underwear size is a size Large. It went up from a medium.
