    hi i hade it done in Lincoln nebraska i live 2 hours away so i stayed in a hotel i am still swollen and browsed its bin exactly 1 week today i can see results already on my outer sides but not my inner thighs yet i still have the tumescent fluid so im still numb in some places but overall i am so happy i did it i could never were a dress because my outer thighs stuck out a lot and i always had to were high rise jeans because i have a bubble but so im hoping my close will fit me better my doc said i will need to buy new jeans but i don't think i will need to because my stomach and butt are the same size i just think my clothes will fit me better i had tunes of anxiety and would research it every day but surprisingly the night before i was ok till i had to change in the docs office but they gave me a pill to relax me and i was fine don't worry you will be fine as long as you picked a good doctor and you will have some discomfort for a day or tow but after that you can go about your day but don't over due it i wish you luck and if you need any support im online a few times a day keep me updated on your surgery there are not to many ppl who had the same procedure done

    hi i just had the same procedure done 3/22/11 including my knees but i did not have an iv they give you a pill to relax you and calm you down then they took pics before they marked me then after i went in to the procedure room they covered me on my top half then they cleaned the area with iodine they gave me a shoot of iodine in the place were they were going to cut for incisions and then put the canual in and filed the area with tumescent fluid which i feel theses 2 steps you felt most discomfort/ pain it swells the area and numbs it you feel a lot of pressure during the laser and suction you can feel it but dose not hurt just weird you might feel a poke here and there. after they cleaned me and just put band aids i seen some post were they put dressings then the garment i personally don't mind the garment my doc said i should go out and about but it hurt to walk and i felt sick and light headed for 2 days i did through up 2 times after the procedure but got a shot the day after to stop it i was given tramadol but i felt no different so i called the nurse and she called in hydroco/vicoden for me it was a little better but not much it just makes you drowsy and itchy so i also took benadryl i drained till 3 am it was not to bad the next day for my fallow up the nurse put me in my stage 2 garment so i could wash stage 1 i didn't notice much bruising till day 3-4 its just tender but not bad just hurts when you first site or stand if you have any questions feel free to ask
