This 44 Year Old Mother of 4 is Ready to Be a Better Version of Herself. - Great Neck, NY

I went for my 2nd post op appt. today and I'm happy they removed both my drains(A Cause for celebration). I feel so much better now. Still have a long way to go. I have swelling and it still hurts were the liposuction was done. I keep telling myself one day at a time. Next step is the massage which I will get Monday. I'm nervous about that being that I still hurt at the touch. But I'm told you feel much better afterwards. So I'm down for it. I looked at my incision today I'm on the fence with how I feel. I guess I have to wait to all the swelling goes down to give a valid opinion. So until then I have high hopes.

Today was a better day. But the gas is a killer, the surgilax tablets have not helped me go the bathroom to #2. I'm able to walk witha cane by myself but I prefer not to, it just so much more of a strain. I use it if my husband is out of the house or knocked out sleeping at 4 am lol. I haven't sleep through the night yet. I've been using my rocking chair glider and foot rest( that I'm glad I never gave away). Thanks to reading everyone's post about recliners. I pulled it out the garage and cleaned it up before hand and it's been a life savor. My post op appt was changed from monday to tuesday. Which kinda sadden me, i was looking forward to taking this compression garment off. Guess one more day won't kill me but I just want to rub my skin it's becoming so itchy. My liposuction areas are still very sore but I know this all takes time. Trying to stay positive.

I went for a consult with Dr.Tehrani, wed 3/18/15. I also booked my surgery the same day, which was was very impulsive of me. The surgery is scheduled for exactly 2weeks 4/01/15. Dr. Tehrani was my 4th consult. Although all the PS that I saw were nice and I couldve went with any of them (except for one he was way to expensive, don't get me wrong Dr. Tehrani isn't cheap either) but all the the ducks seemed to aline in a row when I was at the office. He was very nice and he has a great personality. I left the office feeling good about my decision. His staff all were very nice and helpful i never felt rushed or pressured, actually It was me putting the pressure on them to get me a date asap lol I actually had my consult and Pre-op appt all in one. At this point I haven't had the chance to become anxious yet. I'm trying to get clearances set up. I guess by the time everything is done it will be time to have the procedure. The only thing I'm worried about now is the healing process. I've been reading post some stories are a little crazy. I know everyone's body is different so the healing process is not the same for everyone. I just hope im one of the lucky ones (fingers crossed). I pray I don't have to much swelling. My daughter is getting married May 23rd and I want to enjoy myself and look great while doing it lol. Wish me luck.
