I went with the Queen of TTs :)

They told me at the recovery house that ill have lots of up and downs and they were right! It's because you feel so differently from one day to the next. You take one step forward and two steps back. The look of your body changes drastically in just a few days. I am currently so swollen I can barely walk. Everything is swollen. My legs are huge. My stomach is so bloated. Even my lower back is pouching out. None of my clothes fit (not even my sweatpants) I tried putting on my waist trainer, that I wore prior to my surgery, but there was no way I could fit into it. So I'm actually bigger than before my surgery :( It's a really uncomfortable feeling. According to my scale I'm up 19 lbs
:(( I feel like everyday I get even bigger.
My incision looks nasty. It's all crusted and scabbed. My bb looks good from far away but up close it's gross. I think it's closing up
:( The good news is where my scab is falling off, I don't have much of a scar. Some places, you can't even see my incision, so I feel optimistic about the outcome of my scar. My stretch marks seem to be looking worse with all the swelling too.
My butt unfortunately is the only part of me that isn't swollen. It has really gone down since my surgery. It's really small, flat, & square :( Dr. Cardenas told me I'd need round two if I wanted a big butt, so I didn't expect a big booty this time. But it's definitely much smaller and less round then before. At least it's higher now :)
The back of my thighs are not as smooth as the were immodestly post op but my lateral thighs are still smooth and tight.
I still have a lot of pain in my incision, especially at night. It burns and burns. My legs hurt more in the am, they are hard to move and are burning and stiff. I have nerve pain all over whenever I walk.
I want to try to get a massage on Monday. These defiantly help with the swelling. Can't wait for this pet of recovery to be over :/

What a difference! Dr. Carmina did 6 inches of muscle repair wow! I'm so happy by how much my stretch marks have improved :)

Updated pics today. Feeling much much better after a few massages. Walking and moving my legs is much easier. I have less nerve pain. Pictures are pretty much the same. I'm very very pleased with how small and thin my incision is. It's extremely precise and so straight! My legs are now more swollen then they were pre op. My outer thighs are completely smooth with NO cellulite at all. Th Dr. said once the swelling subsides, I will have more dimpling and looser skin, specifically in my inner thighs
:( I'll have to wait and see. Hopefully, my outer thighs and butt stay smooth and tight :)
