Anxious..Nervous..all the Above for my Surgery Tomorrow April 4th! - New York, NY

Well....all my life I was always self-conscious about my body. I was always chunky even as a kid. When I reached my lowest weight in high school, I looked nice molded into clothes but never out of them. I would never wear dresses or skirts because they would look horrible and wear long shirts covering my butt. OH and SPRING/SUMMER is the WORST. I can't even use layers to hide anything!!!! I used to think that if I put on weight I would gain a butt like my friends did. I had to learn the hard way that genetics also plays a role in your body structure. So here I am 29 and wanting to have my last year of my twenties with confidence in myself. Hopefully, Dr. Francis can make that happen. These pics are taken today. Wish me Luck.......stomach in knots.

P.S. I am having my abdomen, upper and lower back, and flanks lipoed and fat grafting to my Butt and hips. As you can see I have no type of definition. I was told I can get at least 700-800ccs. I definitely have wayyyyyyyy more than enough fat to get fuller hips and butt.

Today is day 2!!!!!!
Going in yesterday of course I was nervous. However, the process was routine and the staff was friendly and attempted to put my fears at ease. General anesthesia wasn't so bad. I didn't even feel the needle or know when I knocked out. I did wake up to PAIN. Not soreness pain. I was told by the surgeon that I have a very flat butt with tight skin so it may be difficult to put in a lot of cc's or give it the perfect roundness. I just told him to put as much as the butt allows.

Right now I am still in pain and taking my meds religiously. I was able to stand up in a 3 min non-fainting spell to snap a pictures. As my endurance increases I will post more. Also I am so swollen I look bigger in my stomach and back to me. Well here goes continuous healing. My incisions are already starting to itch me.

P.S. my surgeon was able to get 750 in my butt while others told me the most 400-500. We shall c!

Still trying to heal. I have excess fluid in my stomach. I am waiting to see the nurse about it. Currently I am still swollen but I am seeing a butt where a butt should have always been. My energy is picking up today. However, I had to have the Dr.s assistant call in more pain medication. I am unable to function well without it.
