So its been a while since i left any update on my vaser experience. The feelings are a little mixed at the moment. My back has seen a dramatic improvement, and is certainly a lot slimmer. My feeling is that my flanks are still exactly the same as well as my thighs. i have seen little to no improvement in those areas which is a little disheatening. I am trying to remain optimistic as its only just been 2 weeks, and i am not sure if i am supposed to still be swollen. The bruising has mostly gone.
I have a feeling by the end of this, i might be a little disappointed; but lets see.

I liked the sound of Dr Grant Hamlet on his website, but ended up booking surgery through Mya, suprised to learn he was doing it. I feel confident in him that he cares about his patients and the results, particularly with his high profile with the media.

Oh my god i hope that it goes okay! The body garment is now getting really annoying to wear. There isnt any pain so you can recovery pretty quickly once you get through the first week although moving can still be a little slow and robotic. My feelings are a little mixed at the moment. I can see a big difference in how my back looks, which is fantastic. But no difference in my thighs or my flanks. The doctor had only touched the flanks from the back, but to get rid of love handles i was told there needed to be front and back incisions. I feel a little bit disheartened because my shape is still virtually the same. Although i am going to wait for the rest of the month until i have my garment removed for good, and then see from there. I have a feeling i might be asking for revision; but i doubt there would be any luck with that.

Okay. I had the vaser yesterday and I've woke up pretty much feeling like I've been run over by a bus. On a scale if 1-10 it's defo a good freaking 7-8. I've felt worse but believe me when i say, this day will only involve me laying down. I cannot see me being able to do anything but this because just moving hurts. Laying down even hurts. So my experience if yesterday. I am a little mixed tbh. I was originally told that I would be having the vaser at 11.30am so I ate the night before at 8pm ish. When we got to the Mya clinic, we were told there was a delay as the anesthetiser hadn't arrived. There was someone in front of me having it done but she had to wait in the operating room. What we thought would be an hour or two turned into hours. I was still waiting at 6pm meaning I went 22 hours near enough without food AND water. When I was eventually called in I was drawn on, taken into the other room and then a little (I don't know what their called) needle with a pipe was attached to my hands. They had problems finding my vein at first, squeezing my arms several times. After this I don't remember. I do not remember being in the operating room, just waking up. Apparently i tried to jump off the operating table and I was saying it was burning. The good thing though is it felt like I was sleeping the whole time. Afterwards we got a cab home and I've been leaking like crazy since. I advise putting a sheet down in your bed if you don't want to stain anything. Day 2 is DEFINATELY more painful than day 1. In this compression garment there is an embarrassing pee hole as I'm not allowed to take it off yet (atleast for 2 days I think). Ill keep you updated and post some pictures. I was told yesterday I would "love" the result but lets see. The good thing is that the doctor and nurses and very reassuring so, I was able to be more calm than usual. Don't get me wrong though going in, you will feel anxious, but once your given the drug, doesn't matter because if you was screaming in pain you won't remember. Just bare in mind after, the real fun begins....I say that with little enthusiasm. Vaser is a tough experience. But lets see if it's worth it later down the line.

7 days left until the op. I'm not sure how i should be feeling at the moment either. Have gone without any alcohol and avoided cigarettes too. Thats been the hardest part. I'm still waiting for more information regarding the aftercare from Mya including the actual time of the operation so there isnt much i can do until then.
