I really am going to be realistic but I cant go on with these LOVE HANDLES. I have to wear jackets with everything just to not feel self-conscious. Time for a change & dealing with ALL the other issues of PCOS (infertility, hair growth in bad places), this has got to the beginning of rebuilding my self confidence. Count down has begun!!
Surgery is Feb 28th, exactly 3weeks away. Cant wait, just in time for my wedding anniversary in April!!
Leaving all my fears of General anesthesia in Gods hand. (Doc said i have to do general). Will be updating & posting the more I do research as well

Good 4 you. I am 5 weeks out and still having lumps and dome hardness that a I can see undressed but I look much better and sleeker with clothes on. No more muffin top love handles.

Thats great! I know you feel sooo much better. I'm trying to be positive as I can seeing that i have been looking at myself like this for about 6 or 7 yrs. (about right after high school when i started gaining weight) Where did you have your procedure done? Did you have to go under general anethesia?

I had my procedure done in Scottsdale, Az. It was done under local, my choice.

Ok. I would be terrified of local i guess just as terrified of general Lol

I started my lymphatic messages yesterday and have another scheduled for Thursday. They are rather expensive so I plan on cutting them down to one a week. I hope the help get rid of lumps and hardness. The local was great except I slept for the next 36 hours. My sister took my pulsE 4 times to make sure I was alive since I was so unresponsive. After she made sure I was still with her she would wake me enough to give me my meds. Scary.

oooh wow!! Yes that is scary. & I have read about the massages afterwards helps. I do monthly massages just as a stress reliever & this was going to be be my last month but I have decided to sign up for another 6 months for after my surgery so hopefully it will help me too. I am going back to work (well, plan on it) only 5 days after my surgery, do you have suggestions with that? I only do desk work & Im only getting my flanks done.

By day five I felt very good. I would say if you are able I would get land walk around every couple of hours. Continue to drink your water and maybe take pineapple in a container so u can snack on them throughout the day. Home that helps. Good luck.

QUESTIONS????

NewMe87February 11, 2014

I have two pages of questions for my doc on my pre op appt this Thursday because i am seeing alot of reviews on mostly liposuction for abdomen & flanks. But I am ONLY getting flanks done. Is there anyone out there that could give me any helpful info on what you went through, are your results what you expected? Did anyone get Lipo from Dr. Hedden offices, with Dr. Schaffer?? PLEASE!! Im a nervous wreck & kind of nervous to ask my doc all these questions.

THANKS a bunch!!!

2 weeks to go

NewMe87February 15, 2014

Had my pre op appt today & I finally think I am Ready. Omg, the nurse was soooo informative & patient with me asking 3 pages of ?'s. I am a researcher, so i had Alot questions from every source I could think of. My doctor says I should see 'significant' improvement. I am definitely very realistic but praying for the best possible. I have been cutting back & drinking alot of water so that should help as far as a bit of weight loss before surgery. I even got a new hair cut for my new body Lol!!!
Will update day of surgery, tha 28th!!! Hopeful with Alot of prayers going up!!!

NewMe!!!!
