It's been six or so weeks since the surgery and today was the first time I sat down/laid down on my new ASSet. Not by choice either (dental appointment). It was for no more than 10 minutes and I positioned my butt in the part where the chair folds and held/propped myself up with my feet a bit, but still...it was kind of like sitting. Felt weird. Uncomfortable. Foreign. I will hold out for a few more weeks before I Really sit.
My butt is Starting to soften up, but far from being really soft and jiggly. Lost very little volume and was assured by dr. D that I won't lose anymore, but I think that I still have a ways to go.
I still wear my Leonisa compression garment for pretty much 24hrs a day. I would love to go without it but my body doesn't want me to. So I listen to my body.
I swell up each time I'm outside in this NY heat. Still have hard spots on the sides of my stomach and upper back. Still have a bit of swelling in the pelvic area and thighs. Lower back is still sore. Some irregularities in my stomach. I'm impatiently waiting for this healing process to be over before I even think about any revisions.
My skin gets very itchy at night. I have tried several lotions but the only thing that relieves the itching for me is the CeraVe anti itch cream (not lotion). It's a bit pricey but it's worth the itch free sleep. I also ocassionally get sharp/shock pains in random places (butt, lower back, stomach, pelvis). I rub them to make the pain go away. I still sleep only on my stomach. Most nights I sleep thru the night. Mornings are the worst. I wake up sore and very stiff.
I hope this info helps someone.
This recover really is a Journey!
