Abdominal Area, Flanks, Thighs and Hips - Novi, MI

I am having my Abdominal Areas (upper and lower),Thighs, Hips, Flanks and Back done. I am going in tomorrow to get all my perscriptions and I will defenitely do everything they say! lol What areas did you have done? Any before and after pics?

aww thank you so much! I will deff post after pics :)

Yes, my mom will be with me then she's taking me home with her for aftercare. I've never heard of Arnica Montana pellets...where can I get them from? Thanks, I really appreciate the words of wisdom and good luck to you too! Hope you see a difference soon! And keep me updated! :)

Arnica Montana Pills/Pellets are available at health food stores like Whole Foods. I think you can probably search for them online as well. Be sure to get 30cc dosage. The Arnica Gel is also good after the procedure when you are able to take off the garment to put it on. I started the Gel around Day 5. I am now Day 11 and am happy to report it was SO WORTH IT!!! I am still swollen but have lost .5" off my waist, 2" off my love handles, 1" off my thigh!!! My weight is down by almost 2 pounds! And to think, it is only going to get better!!! It was a rough first week for me, I hope you have an easier recovery. But if it gets hard, just remember it is going to get better and it will be worth it. Drink LOTS of water to flush out your system. Try to get off the pain meds as soon as possible. ICE, ICE, ICE. Just make sure to time it for 20 minutes because you will lose sensation in your skin for a while after the surgery and you don't want to give yourself frostbite. Um, what else...oh yeah, get some maxi dresses/skirts to wear. They will be the easiest and most comfortable for the first couple of weeks. Anything soft, cotton, and without large elastic bands. Good Luck!!! You will be fine and it will be worth it. :)

Omg, I seriously love you right now! lol- best advice!!! I will look for those pallets and the gel. I am SO going to leave work and buy a measuring tape, my docs office didn't take measurments. I don't plan on being on the meds too long, I handle pain well. And that's crazy about losing the feeling by icing an area, I would of never thought of that but it totally makes sense! Thank you so so so much! Ur a lot of help!

Thank you! :)

Wow, ur only 8 days out! That's awesome...Your before and afters look great, especially the side profile. I'm gonna make sure I eat light and staying with my mom wont help but I'm sure she won't stuff anything down my throat since I'm getting a procedure like this lol. The forzen peas is already on my list of "to gets" :) Wearing the spanx under the garmet is a really great idea, I have always had sensative skin in the first place. Thanks so much, I'll keep you updated :)

Finally, someone local! Where are you going to get the tablets and gel from? I think theres a whole foods on maple and crooks, might stop there after work and go get them today too. Good luck to you too!

That's sooooo close to me! I'm so going there this afternoon!!

Yea, I'm from Sterling Heights so its not too far from me :)

Don't worry, it WILL work. :) I just went in for my two week check up and my doctor said I will continue to see improvement over the next three months. He said some days will be better than others, swelling will sometimes be in one place and then in another, some days will be not a lot of swelling then others will be a lot. So don't get discouraged while you go through the recovery process. Final results won't be seen until months later. Hang in there and eat right, sleep good, drink lots of water and you will be so happy!!!

Also, my doctor said Pineapple juice is an anti-inflammatory. :)

Thanks for the kind words and advice...I'm trying not to get discouraged! Thinking positive lol...and yes, I've heard of the pineapple trick, I'll deff be picking some up.

Hey girlie, how have you been?

Thanks!
