I had tumescent lipo on my abs, back and flanks. I received Demerol and Ativan PO along with two other PO meds (I don't remember) 1 hr before my procedure. The doc started an IV (he had a LOT of trouble and it was the most painful IV I've ever had) and hung a bag to gravity with what was I assume antibiotics. I was numbed with lidocaine then tumescent solution was injected. I found it painful and at times excruciating. They told me I wouldn't remember anything but I do. Is this normal?
