Well today was a step that I didn't think I'd ever take - was very nervous walking into the building feeling "is this truly the right thing to do?", met some girl at the front desk of course told her my name, she handed me the introductory paper work and of course I filled it out and handed it back and in the back of my mind I thought "Oh Great now they have all my info and I'm going to wait an hour to be called back", but I was very surprised and pleased it was almost immediately, very pleased! Amy explained everything to be in great detail and made me feel like "hey I'm ok with this now" she's making this sound way to easy and after further discussion she determined I was a good candidate, almost immediately I thought "its time for this spare tire to go flat". After visiting the office and visiting with Amy during the consultation I feel I have chosen the right place to get this done!

Things to take note from my experience:

Motivation: Extremely Motivated - working out at the gym 4-5 days a week and eating healthier!

I've considered doing this for roughly a year and half! -was very skeptical but thought hey its time to do something I'm not happy with myself!

Tips so far: Do your research and be sure its lifestyle change you want to take on.

Well today was the big day! Went in and had the procedure done! I came home and immediately fell asleep. I had just shy of 4 liters sucked out, which is very very good for males (according to the DR)! Ok so the procedure itself - went very fast - I had my upper, lower, and waist (front and back) done - took just a little over 2 hours. Dr. Avila - was awesome! He explained everything to me as he went along and sucked the fat stuff out. The numbing part was the most uncomfortable part of the procedure, it appeared to be about 7-10 inches long and was stuck in and injected the fluid. The area around my ribs hurt the most, but was only for a few seconds. Once all the numbing was completed he started right after with the "SUCKER" which took about 1.5 hours to complete all areas. I didn't experience any harsh pain while it was being sucked out, I just lied there and watched the yellowish substance being sucked out! Now that its been about 15 hours since I had it done I still have redish fluid draining from one of the incisions but I'm told thats normal!

After my experience today - I'd recommend Sono Bello for anything you may want done! I mean what doctor have you ever gone to and calls you at night to check to be sure you're doing ok? I don't know of one! Dr. Avila is the man!

I can't wait for the days ahead when I can take the compression vest off and start to see the true result!

I'll post pictures of before and after in the next few days!

Day 1 Post Op -
Uncomfortable but bearable - I didn't take any pain meds today - the worst part today was pulling off the tape they used to hold the bandages in place. This was more painful then the procedure itself. I can definitely see a drastic improvement already! I use to have love handles and today they're completely gone!

Thanks! No, I was wide awake talking to the doctor as he was sucking the nasty stuff out. Pulling off the tape the day after hurt much worse then the procedure itself.
