Sharing My Aqualipo Experience from Beginning to End - Miami, FL
Ok, so i'm a disabled guy ,age 47, been disabled...
Ok, so i'm a disabled guy ,age 47, been disabled for 6 years now, and i can't exercise or work due to my disability , i gained lots of weight, i look terrible and feel so unwanted.
I decided to try this Aqualipo procedure on my belly and love handles, Consulted a real nice doctor in Miami that will do the procedure.
Because i have Fibromyalgia ( over active sensitive nerves to pain among other things) i opted to do the procedure under IV sedation , so for that there is an extra step that most people dont talk about, which is MEDICAL Clearance by my private doctor is required.
So i saw my doctor last week , had to do blood work and EKG and physical, right now waiting on results and should have the medical clearance in a couple days, i will keep you posted.
My Aqualipo will be done on july 3rd right before the fireworks...lol
will start antibiotics on the day before for 6 days ( i feel good about that to eliminate any possible infection)
To tell you the truth , i have mixed feelings of nervousness and excitement , but i know its something i have to do for myself, and i will later on eat healthier.
Note: Doctor explained to me that my stomach will not be 100% flat in my case , because i do have fatty tissue around my organs, so i have to work on that after the procedure , Lipo is only to take the fat between the abdominal muscles and skin.
Recovery will be faster than regular lipo, so its expected that by my birthday july 28th, i will unwrap my present and get rid of the compressing wrap and feel a little better about myself, and at the same time help someone out there who needed an advice or encouragement .
i'm posting my ugly before pics on here reluctantly, but i really want to share my story honestly and completly, and will update the pics.
Please excuse my typo.
Today is june 27th,2012 Good news, i got my...

I'm thinking now what will my measurement be after the procedure?

Hello everyone Today was finally here at 6:30 am...
Today was finally here at 6:30 am i woke up all excited and got ready for my appointment to do the aqualipo to my stomach and love handles. i weighed my self i was 204 exactly.
anesthesiologist talked and interviewed me, and medical history etc, then nurse took my vitals, then my Doctor stopped by and checked on me and marked my body and took the before pics and answered all my questions, the off i went to the operating room..
they put the iv line and prepped me and i was kinda awake but not awake, its kinda strange, they just got me to a place were i was sleep but awake, not deep sleep for most of the time, but they tell me i was in deep sleep and would not wanna turn over to do my love handles...lol i wonder if i cursed them out for interrupting my sleep....he he he
i did not really feel anything, they took me to recovery place, checked my vitals gave me instructions again, doc said if the pain gets too much i could take tylanol, no asprin or asprin like meds.
i got home and slept good , i could feel the pain so a friend got me the Tylanol , i feel better now.
i have not taken the garmet off yet to take pics, i will do that tomorrow but here is a pic of me in thecrazy white compressing garmet that i have to wear for a month.
every one at the office was great including the doctor was so nice
