I made my decision today! I'm 43 and I've wanted a smaller waist all my life, not to mention a rounder bottom. I also have a scar on my left gluteus. Kinda embarrassing. :( I'm excited about the results and super nervous abut the recovery! Any tips about how to shorten recovery and manage the pain would help! I have low pain tolerance. Give it to me straight! :))

Hi! My surgery is scheduled for 12/13 and I'm 42. Totally freaking but excited too. Was thinking of going back to work Day 3 but sounds like more like 10-14 days!!! Ugh. Never had surgery like this... Only child birth which was ok. Keep in touch and good luck

I'm taking 2 1/2 weeks off. Good luck to you! I'm nervous!! lol. But i'm excited about the results. I've been reading some of the experiences, so are good and some seem scary...

Yea don't want to make generalizations about complications from certain doctors or places BUT I am a firm believer that a positive attitude is powerful! Focus on the good stories and also most of the stories (scary or not) end with great results. Human body is amazing in its ability to heal. It also helps to start healthy. Talk to your surgeon to ease your mind too. Look at me... I mean gotta be confident to schedule on a Friday the 13th!

Girl, be nervous but have confidence that you're going to hurt for a few days and then have the body you've always wanted! Just remember the first few days are tough but it gets so much better after the first 5 days!!
