Hello everyone, it's been quite a while, sorry for the delay. I haven't updated anything because I have run into a major bump in the road. I am 8 months pregnant which as u can imagine I was severely depressed about, apparently I was expecting DURING MY SX...anyway, I just started showing and glad it's almost over so I can really enjoy my results and start planning my round 2 which will be with Dr. Campos.

My tt is the bomb, hourglass even with the baby bump but I have NO ASS!! Okay, maybe that's a but xaggerated but it resembles my pre pp butt in a major way and I am not really impressed with the bbl, love the hips tho. Any questions ask away.

Of course i had a pregnancy test...you of all people should know Carednas requests all labs in 2wks prior...apparently i was too early to test pos...my sx was within my 1st 4 weeks...which will result in a neg read.

This is one of those 1 in whatever cases!! Fatimeh had 2 children after tt and I thought she looked great!! Why are you going to Campos with next visit?

I have no doubt that I will still retain my hourglass after labor and delivery. Campos is the butt man hands down amd this has been my plan since before my surgery. To have the queen of tt lay the foundation and Campos plump my butt the right way. I love Cardenas amd shes very good at scupting, just not as good as Campos with bbl. IMO!

Hi ladies, today was sorta rough with the swelling, I got home lastnight and was just fine but suddenly swelling set in and I felt like a balloon about to pop at any minute I cried from the tightness and stiffness it was so painful but I applied cold packs (frozen veggies and frozen onion rings lol!!! It got the job done and fast! It was so bad it makes me afrad to go to sleep because that's when it(the swell) happens. Now I feel normal again and about to take a brief walk to the corner and back for the sake of circulation to promote a speedy healing.

Day 3 post op and I must say that I understand now more than every about how bad the stiffness and soreness is in the mornings, it really is like a ton of bricks but once I get up and moving about alot better. Ladies who are preparing for uncoming sx please keep in mind and prepare yourself for the worse on the 2nd day I swear to you by the holy grail this was the absolute worse day of my life!! I broke down crying and I don't cry...crying partly because of the pain but MAINLY because of the sleep deprivation but the meltdown didn't stop me from mingling around the house and helping other ppl out, The Nurses here call me a very strong woman because I've been upbeThat since I awoke from sx, hell I even woke up during my surgery and held a conversation LOL! There is no way possible to get yourself comfortable it's just impossible and that's it. You have to have assistance or else you're doomed :(

Anywho, here in day 3 and I feel alot better as the Nurses all promised I would if I could just make it through day two. I'm adding pics today...ask any questions I'll answer in a timely manner.

Your body looks on point! I e-mailed Dr. Cardenas last night requesting a quote. I really am thinking of switching from Campos.
