2.5 WEEKS POST OP - BBL w/ Dr. Pantoja
FRI, JUL 13 - 2.5 WEEKS POST OP Hi ladies, sorry...
Hi ladies, sorry for the delay. I stopped pain meds around Day 10 I think. Currently, no pain but I tend to get a little stiff if I am laying for awhile. My original garment is such a pain to wear w/clothes. I have a black body shaper (in pics) that I ordered ($13) from ebay that I have been wearing instead. I need to order a waist cincher so I can switch to just that.
I am still swollen (stomach, back, pubic area) but not as much. On side of my pubic area is more swollen than the other. One side of my labia was HUGE for about the first week and a half. It has gone down significantly, but it's still larger than the other side. :(
I've had a total of 4 massages (2 in TJ/2 @ home) thus far. I have my 5th scheduled tomorrow.
I can't fit any of my work pants (no stretch) but I can still wear my skirts and jeans.
I have sat down a few times, but I had no choice. :( I returned to work this week (Day 13) and I had mtgs galore! I couldn't take a bobby or yoga mat into a board room. Speaking of these items, they are uncomfortable! I have to fold my bobby in half to give me enough support/lift to sit on it at work. I tried driving with a rolled yoga mat and it wore out after a few times. Now I'm using a rolled throw pillow ($3) that is still in the bag from Ikea. This seems to give me more support under my thighs while I drive.
I'll try to take some pics at 3 weeks.
THURS, JUL 5 – DAY 9 POST OP Hi ladies! I just...
Hi ladies! I just finished working an event for work. I was on my feet for approx. 7 hrs straight and surprisingly held up well. I tend to only feel pain when I’m getting up from lying down for a long time. I officially go back to work on Monday.
I had a massage yesterday and it was soooo different than with Maribess in TJ. The therapist (male btw) used a really light technique and it did not hurt at all! He even explained the lymph system to me and how it flows. Weird, but I swear I felt the toxins shifting in my body. My next massage is on Saturday and he asked me to bring my arnica cream for him to use.
My drain holes are pretty much closed now. My va-jay-jay and pubic area were sooo swollen, but they have gone down since yesterday. One side is more swollen than the other. :-/
It took me a few days to perfect putting my garment on, but once I figured out that it was MUCH EASIER to button the garment top>down vs. down>up, it has been a breeze! My garment has become my security blanket. I feel so much better when I am in it vs. out. It may be the feeling of being compressed since I’m still swollen. The straps are annoying though. I usually let them hang vs. wear them.

Hey girl @visual.one! We're BBL buddies, I had my surgery on Monday the 25th in Mexico too, but w/ Dr. Pérez Cerezo, i definitely recommend him. It's cool to see that we're going through the same pretty much at the same time. This week I started taking massages and boy, they hurt! However, I feel great once they're over. I'd love to talk with you to stick together... I don't really know anyone else who has undergone this type of procedure. Anyway, please feel free to contact me :) so that we can share our feelings and concerns.
Regards,

The abdomen pain feels like you have a scab underneath your skin that rips open every time you move/stretch, cough, sneeze, etc.

I ordered a "Black Cupless Zip Front Body Shaper" from the 'thelingerieoutlet' on ebay for $13. This is my 2nd garment when I need to wash the Marena one. I'm wearing the blk one more though.
Hi there, just checking in and seeing how everything is going. It's been a while since your last update. Hope everything is healing well!
