Liposuction: Stories

Hi! I am a 38 year old mother of 5 getting ready to get my body back! It's my time! I'm 5'1 and 110 lbs, and I want my clothes to fit good again! My size hasn't changed in years with the exception of these awful overhangs (lovehandles) and my saddlebags make me self conscious in skinny jeans. I had breast augmentation in 2008 & had a lot of complications, but we finally found out the source & it's been corrected. My dr. Is amazing & treats me like family so I completely trust him! I'm worried about the pain. I'm not having my stomach done (am planning on tummy tuck in winter) & I've heard the stomach is the most painful. I'm hoping this will be a piece of cake! I don't want to take a lot of pain medicine because I have a lot going on the next week & want to be functioning. It was hard to find time to do this. My kids are older, youngest is 8, so they are pretty self sufficient. I'm really excited to begin my journey! I have 1 week until surgery day & am just now getting nervous. I've already had my pre-op, lab work, etc... Assuming all was ok since I haven't heard anything. Got prescriptions, there were a lot & that makes me nervous too- seems like a big deal! I'm going under general anesthesia so I'm glad I won't feel anything. I was going to get the tummy tuck, but don't have the recovery time right now. Plus, I'm scared about the scar so I need to be completely ready. We are going on vacation 9 days after surgery, so hoping I'll be ok! My dr seems to think I'll be fine. I don't work, so I can rest while kids are at school the first few days. My husband thinks I'm nuts & don't need this but he wants me to be confident. I don't even know that others will notice but I hope I do! I'm trying to figure out how to upload photos, not video. Any help?
