I am 18 year's old, have always been overweight. I have played sports my ENTIRE life, most of my weight is muscle, but my thighs and abdomen refuse to get smaller.

I have been asking for this for the last 3 years, and am finally getting it done for graduation. I am really nervous, because i am deathly scared of pain. Will the Local Anesthia really hurt? and is it worth it?

Well my doctor just called me and told me it would be done a day earlier than what I was supposed to!
So I will be done on the 26. I'm really nervous..I will be doing it on my lower and upper abdomen, flanks, inner and outer thighs,
And my arms. And my bannana roll. Everyone say they think im stupid. But I can't lose the extra fat to save my life :(
Should I be really nervous!!

I'm actually very nervous! My doctor is making me feel very
Comfortable though! And I just got a call that it will be on the 36th! So one day closer :)
Is there anything I should be scared about !

I have read alot on the local anesthia. My plastic surgeon personally believe that unless the procdure is only going to take around an hour, general should be used. I am not trying to scare you but some of the reviews on here said that the local burns like fire when it is given, which is why I am glad to be getting general, wake up and it's over. Just make sure your Doctor is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, if he is he should give you the option of getting general. You have to beware of these "Non-Plastic Surgeons" doing procedures like this. I amlost fell into that trap myself. So just do alot of homework on your Doctor and it you are comfotable with getting Local, go for it. Otherwise ask about general. Goodluck and post some pictures if you have any. Mine can be viewed under my review.

Oh gosh. Well I just don't wanna go under general. I'd much rather be awake! Did you get the procedure done already!

I got it done today. I am leaking alot and very sore but otherwise okay. I strongly recommend general, unless you are only getting a very small amount of fat removed. Goodluck and let me know how you do.

So it is 6 more days till My procedure.. I'm very stressed and nervous I've lost 5 pounds this month from stressing over it. I really hope this is worth it. I just can't wait for
My thighs to be slimmer. Other than the local Anes. Will the actual procedure hurt?

I did my upper and lower Abs, flanks, and the lower part of my back. I hope everything goes well with your surgery. What all do you mean when you say all areas of your body? I can tell you from the pain I am experiencing right now, I would not have more areas than what I had done at a time. It is quite painful. I was wanting my thighs done at the same time and I am so glad that I decided to wait on them, I would be dieing right now!!
