24 yrs old & i have 2 kids. Very anxious to get this done & also feeling lots of anxiety to the point i want to back out. Ive had a tummy tuck done before and had an awful experience. the dumb doc left extra fat on my hips. & i hope this doctors does the job RIGHT!! & Also so when i try to loose weight that are just stays and gives me no hope of loosing more weight. so ive pretty much let go of myself.
I am very nervous because im having all these areas done or even just thinking of being put to sleep makes it worst.. ahh!! Anyways i hope this goes well for me. My surgery date is next week 10/20/11.. i will post pics.
So ive got my meds ready and im like 3 days away...

Its pretty normal to feel the way you feel. I absolutely felt the same but it turned out OK. I was sedated, didn't have general anaestetia.
My advise would be: stay ahead of your pain medication, dont until you feel pain. Buy extra thick pads to soak up any leaking fluids, cos you will leak afterwards, put it where the incisions are. Move as much as you can cos you will be stiff by being in one position for a long time and to keep the blood circulation going. Massage the treated areas aswell. Keep your garment on as long as you can, it helps with swelling. Be careful when removing your garment for the first time, you can easily faint . Sit or lay down on your bed and remove gently and wait until you feel OK.
I almost fainted (very lightheaded) by just removing my garment for the first time due to the blood rushing through my body.
Dont back out, it will be worth it. I'm scheduled for the 8th of December to have my upper arms, lower back and bra rolls done by Vaser and can't wait.
Any more questions???

I had vaser lipo on my inner and outer and front thighs and buttocks. I was wearing a loose fitting dark brown dress (in case I swell up and dont fit in my pants) and for stains in case I leak while traveling from doctors rooms. The doctor gave me a prescription for arnica pills (for taking after surgery), pain meds, antibiotics and a few mild sleeping pills cos I was so anxious and nervous I could not sleep for 2nights. Oh and dont forget an old dark coloured towel or shower curtain for your ride home to sit on, you could drain in the car.
I didn't have pain at all, just numb and stiff especially sitting or laying in one position for too long. I took regular slow walks in my yard just to ease the stiffness. Otherwise everything was quite good except for the swelling and horrible bruising. I know we differ with regards to pain and healing wise but I have to say that this was a very easy recovery. Stay ahead with pain meds, dont wait until you are in pain and follow your doctors orders. I was very big in those areas and my pants literally a size too big for me right after surgery. After a week I was 2sizes down and it just improved as the weeks went. I came to realize that as from week 3 I lost about 5kg not because I was on a diet but because of my body healing and that takes alot of energy.
I am having round no 2 in December and cant wait although anxious. If you have more questions dont hesitate to ask, I'll try my best.
