Things are going well. I still have swelling in my stomach. I wear a medium faja now with a boats but I'm going to have to get a smaller faja to compress the swelling in my abdomen. I wish my butt was shaped more, I will be adding to it. In this pic I have no garment on, just my spanx. I do wear my faja everyday faithfully.

Well, it's been a difficult recovery but I am glad I've turned a corner now. Feeling more like me, although I have some other medical stuff going on. I went back to work on 2/7/17. The first week back was rough, a lot of pain from all the walking and moving I had to do. I can really see my results and I'm finally eating. I posted two pics, they are not the best but you can see a difference from the before and now. I will post better pics later.

It's difficult but I got the booty buddy pillow. I wish my butt was bigger, it's shrinked and it's always hurting now. How are you making out?

Hi there, sorry I am responding so late. Haven't been on the site in a few weeks. Make sure you wear your faja like they suggest. Lay on your sides with your bbl. I know get massage therapy. If your on the PASSAIC county area, I would recommend the lady I go to twice a week. It really helped with my recovery. I hope your doing well. Can't wait to see your results.

No, a hole that appeared after a few stitches were removed. I had some fluid and it was trying to find a way out.
