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!!

Updated on 20 May 2011:
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 was really numb dont remember a thingg!

Updated on 27 May 2011:
ahhh i had the procedure done May 26,2011
i was there from 9am to 6:30 pm.
he took 3 liters of fat out of me. it was disgusting to see there was that much in me.

He comforted me the whole entire time and got me a glass of water and let me watch tv..then he put the iv in and took a pill. and i dont remnember anything from there. i woke up nauesated so i threw upo twice. when i got home i threww up another time. he prescribed me to loratabs and something else, but he said i dont really need it. which is true, i just wanted tylenol. i have to go back in the morning to see if everything is alright.

Updated on 28 May 2011:
So day 2. I'm not bruised that much. But I am swollen and a bit sore...I get lightheaded when I take my garment off but it might be bc I don't eat

Updated on 2 Jun 2011:
day 7:
Im still a bit sore, but nothing i cant handle. i havent taken any of the prescribed meds. im swollen and still numb. ive lost around a good 8 pounds from it. i refuse to leave my house until final results because no one knows about this.

Welcome to RealSelf, sadda44. How are your nerves? Only ten days to go... :)

sadda44 17 May 2011

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 !

Sholbrook 18 May 2011

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.

sadda44 19 May 2011

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

Sholbrook 19 May 2011

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.

sadda44 20 May 2011

That's awesome. What did you get done?
I'm doing all the areas of my body. 3 liters is what he will be taking out he says

Sholbrook 20 May 2011

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!!

sadda44 20 May 2011

Oh goodness! Well are you happy with your results that you see right now? Even if you are swollen?
Well I am doing abdomen flanks arms inner and outer thighs. I'm doing local too!

Sholbrook 21 May 2011

Yes, I am very happy with my results. I feel a lot better today too. Keep me updated on your progress afterwards.

Carol11 21 May 2011

Honey don't do any more! Your thighs will not me symetical! Believe me you can excersize and diet, properly, and get your results, without doing that to yourself. Everything is just going to come back ANYWAY, if you dont excersize and diet the right way. Go to a nutrionist, personal trainer.

sadda44 21 May 2011

I know! my mom wants me to do it though, she is really into the whole "plastic surgery" thing.. and looking good. I only wanted my abdomen. Should i be nervous?

Sholbrook 21 May 2011

Everything will not come back if you take care of yourself and watch what you eat. An adult body does not make fat cells, when you gain weight the ones you have get larger. Therefore if they are removed, they will not be there to get larger.

OLA123 21 May 2011

I had the procedure done Yesterday 5/20/11 under general ansthea, on Lower and Upper Abdomen, flanks, and inner thighs.

I feel great as of right now, I stopped taking vicodin. It feels as if i did so many crunches just as I read in these posts. It only hurts when i get up after laying down or sitting for a while. It takes me a few seconds to get up.

Im surprised because they said I would leak, altho i have not leaked at all! My swelling is not that bad, nor is the bruising. I like my results so far! but i Hope to see even better results as days pass! But im not sure if I will. My post op appt is on the 26th, so we will see what the doctor says.

I was so nervous before going into surgery but u will be fine!

OLA123 21 May 2011

oh he took out 1 liter total

sadda44 21 May 2011

omg thank you! you are doing exactly what im doing! how many inches were you before you went in? a liter of fat doesnt sound too much. he told me my thighs will not get smaller, bc i am filled with muscle. but he said he would take 3 liters of fat from me!
how is your bruising? and how is your skin type?

OLA123 22 May 2011

Thats one thing I did not do was measure myself but i do see a big difference. He only took 1 liter which bothered me but thats all he cant take he said. One thigh looks bigger than the other now, i hope its because one swelled up more. My main area was my tummy. And its gone!! I hardly am bruised its amazing. Its day 3 now and I just have 2 small bruises on each side of my back. Im very light skinned and my skin was thick and good for the surgery the surgeon said at least.

Sorry didnt use correct punctuation. But You will see amazing results!

sadda44 22 May 2011

So you only have 2 small bruises? thats awesome! have you tried any of your clothes?

OLA123 23 May 2011

I just spoke to my surgeon and he said the reason why I did not have any bruises was because most of what he suctioned was fat, not too much blood. I have not tried my clothes on because, I dont plan on going out until about next week. I find it hard to wear jeans because it will hurt

sadda44 23 May 2011

Well that's good
Did the actual procedure huer or anything ? And how are you're results?

OLA123 23 May 2011

No it did not, I was put complete asleep so I was awaken when i was done. I felt great, I would give yourself 4 days at home to rest.

My results are great, however im swelling up a little more now.

You look small in your picture, but have some problem areas, Lipo is great for that! It works on bigger individuals but the results are not as great. I still dont have a Bikini model body but I got rid of my little belly that would bulge out every time!

sadda44 23 May 2011

That's awesome! Are you going to put before and after pictures? I'll be going into local anesthesia in 2 days!

OLA123 24 May 2011

no i wont be putting pictures up because I havent told any friends or family about this, so I want to keep it on the down low.

im swelling up now and i feel im back to normal :( i will c what the surgeon says thurs! good luck!

sadda44 24 May 2011

oh I feel you. Ive only told my female friends. Im sure since you are already small, no one could really tell the difference except you. and i thought swelling was normal? My doctor told me he would be taking 3 liters from me..is this too much?

OLA123 24 May 2011

I think its a good amount. I wish mine took more out. he only took 1 liter. I heard swelling is normal but im in that phase of being disappointed about it! I hope its swelling and my results will be better! Because I looked better on Day 1 and 2, now its day 5 and Im back to normal I feel. I will talk to him and see what he says. Keep me posted about how yours goes, 1 more day! AHHH stay as calm as possible.

sadda44 25 May 2011

Is it painful? when you are swelling?

girl, I am absolutely way nervous..
but i cant wait to be done with it.
