Im choosing to get this for a boost in my journey of weight loss. Im 23 yrs old 5'7 Ive always been about 130 lbs after my daughter i have been bouncing from 150-167. Im very excited but extremely nervous of it not looking natural after! I plan to upload pics and journal my journey on here as often as possible! I just started dieting and working out to help me along. Im hoping to be healed and bikini ready by June 8th! i know its cutting it close. Alot of girls on here I see took about 3 months some only 1.5 months. Anybody have any suggestions on faster healing.! CANT WAIT TILL THE 6th!..:)

Hi. A few things I wish I would have known. Take arnica 30 3 times a day and bromilin 500 mg 2 times a day for 1 week prior. This will help with swelling and bruising. Also soak in epsom baths starting a couple of days after your surgery. Really helps with swelling. Dont take any ibuprofen for a week prior or fish oil. These thin your blood and make you bruise more. Cant wait to see your progress. Good luck!!

I had some trouble getting rid of the extra fluids, my doctor suggested low calorie gatorade. I guess your body needs the electrolytes more so then just plain water. It helped! Doing some walking will also aid the swelling along with getting everything else moving along. What are your expectations following the procedure?

Thanks @grandrapids. I plan on doing alot of walking until I can get back to regular intense workout. My expectations would just be too loose fat. http://www.bhaesthetics.com/tummy-and-love-gallery/
Thats my doctors work i just look at which one i resemble and expect to look like that. My fears are not much of pain but of what the outcome will look like. I know it will not take all my fat away, im just hoping alot and it look natural after.

Oh hey...one other question! How long after your initial consultation did it take to get you in for the procedure? I am anxious to get it done!

April 7, 2012
It went good I blogged*^ one thing I didn't put in there was I took two of these relaxing pills and there's no way I could have drove my self home. I was so out of it I could not eat or walk
Normal because of them
And don't remember the car ride home. And the
Doctor and nurse were very nice talking to
Me
When they could to try and help me.

Hey Grand Rapids3586,
Just saw your posts. I am from the Grand Rapids Mi area and was wondering who your doctor was? I have a consult on April 27th. I am so nervous AND excited. I feel a little in the dark though as the receptionist that I talked to when I called told me that they "put you under"! THAT makes me nervous! I am 47 and have about 5 areas that I would like done. I hope they do it all in one appointment...not sure what to expect. Any insight from you would be great!
