I will provide my own arm garment/sleeves (if anyone has any they want to sell hit me up. Im not opposed to saving money ;)
I am getting chin lipo, agressive full back lipo, agressive armpit axillary lipo, upper stomach, and flanks (if theres any fat there). Arms I go back and forth on daily. Im reading RS Dr reviews an I seen quite a few that indicate arm lipo can create saggy arms (skin). I'm like Ugghhh we cant win for losing. Im not longer in debate about chin. Ima just DO IT like Nike. Im a little scared about the buising because Im only outta work 10 days total. But Im going to have to make due!

After 5 years of research on US Drs Dr Hegg (never responded) and Dr Salama, Dr Fuentes (TJ) , and Dr Pantoja who was the most prompt and informative I decided to go to the dr I felt would give me the best result with my HEALTH being the biggest priority.

Round 2 .......The countdown is on!!!

Measurments are 33inch waist 44 inch booty. Although my waist has increased I still have the same POST OP shape. Im not wrecking my nerves trying to lose any weight or go on any special diets before I hit the surgery table for a second time. I ordered a garment from stellacorset in a size XL. Their sizes run smaller based on customer reviews. Im guessing an XL is equivalent to a M in a marena garment which is what I was in after round 1. I ordered the black short with back supporr $100. I started taking my iron today(Nature Made 65mg equivalent to 325mg of Ferrous sulfate that the dr prescribes) and I plan to start taking 2 a day approx 3 weeks prior to surgery. I may stay at grace recovery again. Im also considering San Diego. I havent made a decision there yet.. ill update again post op.

Ive read your review, and Im also getting surgery done but reading about the pain factor has me nervous.
There's no way to.prepare for the experience trust me. An its not exactly pain equal to anything measurable. It feels like youve worked out for the first time in your life for HOURS STRAIGHT. . Tired and achy and discomfort NOT pain. .
You look good girl.
Thanks a bunch
