Tummy Tuck and Bbl...on my Way - Mexico

8 months later still swollen

WORTH IT$5,200
So I had my Lipo, tummy tuck and bbl 8 months ago and I am still swollen in my stomach, I look fabulous but I want this dam swelling to go away. And I am still very dependant on my garment. So if you think your going to be completely normal in the 3 to 4 weeks like they say, it's not going to happen. I don't feel comfortable showing my stomach in public but I do look fabulous at home. Good luck everyone with your journey and keep in mind everyone heals differently.

Got up, nurse help me get in the shower, now im in pain from having to bend so far over. So that was the worst. Other than that not no pain. Thank you Jesus! Back at "our friends house" with all my pantoja dolls. The support you get from everyone in this house is incredible. Love them to pieces.

How long did you stay at the recovery house, and how are you doing now?
Hello. I stayed there 7 days. I'm doing great. My stitches are out and I'm standing up straight just got swelling in my back and stomach. Sorry I don't have any pictures on here, the sight won't let me upload from my phone.
Can you please tell me what meds are given for pain. So nervous.
Hello. While in the hospital for 2 days I was under anesthesia so I wasn't in any pain. When I got to the recovery house the 700mg of ibuprofen was good enough for me. I didn't get the prescription pain med from Dr.p. everyone is nervous when your surgery date approaches so that's normal. I promise you will be fine.
How are you now? Do you like your results?
8 months later still swollen in my stomach. I still feel a little tightness in my back from Lipo, I'm still very dependant on my faja. I'm just taking my time to heal, I'll give it a year. I have a lifetime to show my stomach. I was finally able to post before and after pictures.

Nothing special to report, still feeling no pain. Got up and walked around, didn't feel nausea like most people report. Just laid in the bed & talk to my husband & watched tv. Uncomfortable but Thank God still no pain.
