Well am going to start saying that am very nervous about my surgery next week. Am going to be 33 soon, and have three kids. I need to do something for myself. After, my first pregnancy my life change in all the ways, my belly lost the beauty that it had before, and it looks like a jelly, if you know what a mean. My husband always says that is fine, that he doesn’t understand why I complaint so much about it, when there is girls with worst situation and has worst marks than me. But, the problem is that I was never like that, and therefore don’t feel comfortable about it. I used to go every day to the gym, worked my bud off, got really skinny and my belly still like a jelly..That’s why I made decision to do surgery. I didn’t tell my husband yet, cause he refuse for me to spent that money in what he call nonsense, he says that am fine, that I don’t need that. Am going to do it without letting him know, which make my more nervous. Am hopping everything is going to come out good, cause I read a few reviews about the doctor and they all good. But let see what happens.

I'm sorry you don't have your husbands support... but I think you should tell him regardless I'm sure he will understand.... I had surgery today and my Bf thought I was kidding all the way up to now while he is changing sheets and bloody bandages...tell your husband I think you owe him that much...Good luck

thanks! the problem is that he said that if i do it he was going to leave me, cause i don't need it. and he wants me just like that, that is why i dont want to tell him after is done, maybe after he sees the results he will change his mind. Idk...is 11 days before my surgery, i think for me is better not to tell him..cause he may end up changing my mind about...am going to do the smartlipo and the regular too, they going to transfer the fat into my butt..lets see after he sees that i have a bigger butt, with a flat stomach if he is still going to leave me :) ...>>>>I hope not...

Hope everything goes well. I'm having the same procedures you are having and it looks like we have similar body types. I also workout a lot but my belly is all jiggly and I can see my cellulite.... eeeww. My husband tells me the same thing, that I don't need it. But he knows how miserable I feel, so he supports my decision. Looking forward to see your after pictures, good luck.

Today is two days before surgery, have my garment ready, and am going to buy today the neosporin as it was recommended by one of you girls. Also need to buy a couple things, as the doctor suggested; hibi-cleanse and a medical loufa to take a bath on the day of surgery, comfortable clothing (black sweatpants with large long sleeve zip up sweater), Motrin for pan killer, a chocolate bar for snack, and a Gatorade to drink. :)

September 22, 2012
I had mine done on 9/11 and today 9/21 iss the first day that I can say I feel fine! Its been a journey and I see results slowly starting to shape. It was very painful for me and I was starting to get an infection from my drainage tube and some days I woke up and was like why did I do this!! I may never eat unhealthy again because I know how much pain and money I have put into it. I look different and I love the new shape I am getting! I will put up some before and after pics one day. I havent had any kids yet but I couldnt wait any longer. You will be happy but just have someone there to help you.

Thx 4 asking muffinLess! Uhg, I'm day 2 post op, I'm feelin a bit better from yesterday, still feelin a little nauseous, and cotton mouth, super swollen, bruised,but the soarness is slowly going away, I'm trying to keep moving, but I'm sooooo tired. Did it hurt pretty bad when u took ur garment off for a shower? Did u have to put new gauze pads over your inscsions? Where you are swollen is it a little hard and hot? Welll hope to hear back from you. Yeah I haven't been sleeping thru the night either, just taking little cat-naps thru out the day :( I'm sure it'll get better soon tho :)

Well I'm home from my procedure! Mannnn I was soar, it felt like very sevier menstal cramps, in my back & abs :( but after my 1st couple of doses of pain meds I felt waaaaaay better! I finally was able to get up & get something in my belly...but I puked it up :( boo. Hopefully the nausea subsides, amazingly I was totally calm when I went in! I'm super thirsty tho, cotton mouth lol. I hope to hear more updates from the rest of you! Rest up all ;)

Hey...the nausea could be from the antibiotics should subside after you finish them. I heard some other people talk about that. I personally didnt experience that. You should take arnica for the soreness. I took it for about two weeks and I just had one little spot of bruising which went away after a week.

Thx for the advice perfectbodpersuit! I was getting a little concerned for a min.cuz I was feeling nauseous, shakey, and got real pale! Wasn't sure what was going on!!! I'm feelin better tho, not as sick :) so u said ur bruising went away after a week? That's cool, I can't w8 for that, how long did it take for the swelling to go down?
