I am a McAdoo Doll!

Hi everyone! Well it's been a minute since my last post and I thought I would give you an update.

If you read any part of my journey after my sx than you know I had mixed feelings about my results. As time has progressed so has my feeling on the matter.

I'm guessing somewhere in week 4 is when I first noticed I had butt symmetry problems. At first I tried to convince myself that my eyes decieved me and that one butt cheek was not actually bigger than the other. Fast forward 1 year and 7 months later and indeed my butt cheeks are two different sizes. My husband couldn't really tell until I pointed it out but either way I have come to the decision to have a revision.

In the first few weeks with all the swelling everything looked the same size. After the swelling subsided not only was my right butt cheeks bigger but my flanks we're not even either. My waist sat lower on one side in comparison to the other.

So I'm having a revision in 2 weeks. Not for a bigger butt but for an even one. It's not a cute look in fitted clothes with two different size butt cheeks. I am dreading going through this process again but hey I gotta do what I gotta do to get this butt thang right.

For those of you are considering/choosing DR. JAMES MCADOO as your surgeon know this... all the perfectly posed photos from past dolls may not all be so perfect. With the right outfit and pose even the worst results can look great. Also if you read reviews from anyone who had problems post sx it is clear that he's ONLY interested in making money from NEW CLIENTS and not the least bit interested in even dealing with you if you inquire about a problem, concern or revision. I am not an isolated incident...this doctor really gives zero **cks about after care. And honestly given his track record (since my sx) I would not choose him again anyway.

Ok now you wanna see what I'm talking about. Well I'm not feeling posting pics right now. I have taken several before photos and will post them along side after photos with my new improved results post sx. Revision sx in 2 weeks! 10/16/17 .

I am now one week shy of 4 months and this is what has been going on since my last update during week 8.
Week 9
I lost the last of my swelling. During wk 5 I lost 1/2 inch and during week 9 I lost another 1/2 inch. All was swelling. I was very realistic and expected some volume loss so I'm not upset. Instead of my butt being humongous like it was day after sx it is just huge and I'm cool with that. You are not being realistic if you expect your butt not to go down some.
Week 10-12
Nothing really changed and I think my butt is stable. I made it 12 weeks with out sitting on my butt AT ALL. I did not drive and every time I was in a car I was able to lay in the back. I did not even use my bbl pillow as I stayed on my knees and or elbows and I only slept on my stomach. Unlike some I waited the FULL 12 weeks before I sat. Who knows if it made a difference in my results or not.
Lessons Learned
Wow wow and wow again, this has been an experience and I have learned a lot and would like to pass some of my learning on. They are listed all randomly but here goes.
1. Chill out when purchasing supplies. I know there are lists circulating ( and I bought almost everything from it) but for me I did not use over 50% of the stuff I purchased.
2. Calm down about your results. I was all over the place after sx and during my recovery as it related to how i felt about my results. One minute I'm in love the next i thought he did just ok. I now look at it this way...yes there are things he could have done better but overall my body is in a better place than it was before and i will just have to be okay with it as I cant/won't do this again.
3. Protect your knees and elbows. I stayed strictly on my knees and elbows during recovery. My knees were always covered but my elbows were exposed due to short sleeves and tank tops. All the kneeling has my elbows black so I would advise you to keep them covered or when putting your weight on them that they rest on something silky not just soft.
4. When you get tired of your garment or your recovery time is up make sure to keep the waist cincher on. Even at almost 4 months I can tell the difference in my stomach after I've had my waist trainer on vs when I go without it.
5. As I've mentioned the first time I sat on my butt was week 12 and day 1. So the first time I sat It was very uncomfortable and kinda hurt. Even when I slept it felt like I was sleeping on a basketball. I'm slowly getting use to it and it no longer feels like I'm laying or sitting on a ball but more like a natural butt. What's funny tho is i couldn't wait to sleep on my back and now I actually prefer my stomach.
6. Realize that even as the weeks past your skin and fat gratis are still delicate. As I posted in week 5 or 6 my butt reacted to the compression from pulling up my garment and even now in week 15 if I don't t wear my ab board the waist band of most pants leave an impression on my skin.
7. Your butt drops a lot. Right after sx my butt was high on my back and I didn't have a cuff. 4 months later the fat has dropped very nicely. I no longer have as high of a butt and the fat has settled down and formed a very nice plump butt cuff.
8. Right after sx give real self a break except for your updates. For me i would get upset or depressed when i saw another dolls results whom i thought turned out better than i did. I now realize most dolls still have something they wish was done better or different. We all take multiple pictures and only post the ones we feel highlights our point of either good or bad results. So looking at after pics can sometimes be misleading. Don't judge yourself based on some one else.
If you judge based only on your before photos most of the time you will see improvements is most areas if not all.
My memory is full on my phone so I can't take new pics until I fix that but I will post updated pics soon. I wanted to go ahead and catch everyone up before too much time passes.
Lastly remember this too shall pass. I thought I would never exit the recovery phase. Mine was difficult to say the least but now it feels like forever ago (even tho it wasn't) and it's continually becoming less of an ordeal and my life has returned to normal (minus the flat azz). So hang in there and regardless of your results stay positive.
Note. If you have not had your sx and would like to purchase my UNUSED bbl pillow I will send it to you. I paid $99 and will sell it for $30 plus shipping just to recover some of my money. If you trust me and this option private message me for more details.
Til my next update! :)

I'm at the two month mark. My last update was at week 5 and this is what has taken place since then.

Between week 5 and 6 a lot of my swelling continued to subsided and my butt seemed to fluff. It was soft all over, it also dropped and rounded out just a little more.

Don't get comfortable with you butt until your recovery is completely over as I learned during week 6. During week 6 I purchased a new garment where I had to pull the WAIST portion OVER my butt. Well even though I only pulled it OVER my butt for a second (as the butt portion was out) the compression was so tight that my butt broke out in large hard lumps. Thankfully it went down the next day....so just be VERY careful with your new assets.

Week 7 and now week 8 were uneventful.

I still have difficulty getting a comfortable nights sleep but for the most part I have gotten use to my temporary limitations of not being able to sit (YET).

I still get massages, and they help. My massage therapist seems to think most of the swelling in my butt is gone ( a girl can hope) but I still have some swelling in certain parts of my stomach. I have 1 more week of massages. After that I am going to just let it do what it do. But overall my stomach is pretty flat.

As of now I still like my results and I am very thankful that I was fortunate to have this experience.
