Hi Real Self family! I would like to thank all of...

Hi Real Self family! I would like to thank all of you for the valuable info you so graciously share in this forum. I am about 3 1/2 weeks away from having a tummy tuck, breast lift, and circumferential thigh lipo. I am scared as you know what, however I am anxious for great results. I am especially nervous about the thigh lipo. Due to my enormous thighs I am really anxious for them to come down. I am exercise at least 3-4 per week, but I am convinced that my thighs have resistant fat cells that need to be blasted by lipo. I would like to finally buy a pair of pants without at least 2% stretch. Can anybody give me some pointers on what I should do preoperatively and post operatively to achieve great results. I keep searching on realself and the net for feedback , but the info regarding circumferential thigh lipo is very limited. All suggestions in relation to the mommy make over and the lipo are welcomed! Please help to relieve some of my anxiety!

Sincerely,
Realself addict

The more I read...the I'm starting to have buyers remorse!

Oh my goodness!! I'm addicted to this site, however the more I read is the more anxious I'm getting. I keep seeing bad reviews from about my doc. Of which I hadn't seen before. I keep reading the horror stories of people spending all this money and going through all the pain and not be happy with their results. I read about plastic surgeons not giving their patients the results of which they paid for. Ex. Lipo done half ass!!! Uneven, not enough, did lower lipo on tummy and not enough on the upper. Wth!!!! This is scary!!!! I just want what I'm am paying my doc to do. I want realistic promises to be made and fulfilled!!!! Please help RS family!!!! My procedure is in 27 days and I am scared straight!!!! Can't sleep at night because all I do is think and read about plastic surgery!!!!

6 more days until my transformation!!!

Ok fan! I had my pre op appointment on Wednesday and I am so excited and ready for the new me. I am still very nervous about the surgery aspect but Dr. Banks assured me that everything will be fine. Her surgical team will be monitoring me very closely. I will post more before pics over the weekend.
