I’m a 44 year old mother 2. I’ve reviewed the reviews and advice here FOR YEARS. Seeing the results I’m finally in a financial place where I can afford this procedure! It’s my turn. I’ve chosen Slender Spa..date set for 5/1 & 5/3. They said they couldn’t do it all at once bc of my weight and the max amount of fat to be removed. I want a 360..entire trunk snatched. A friend told me to get a garment 2 sizes smaller and it’ll mold me with the small waist I’m desiring. I’m seeing all these different facilities and I really think of going there to get their results but I know we’re all built different and will have different results. I’ll post pre pics soon. Please give any advice..it’s appreciated.

Hello! We are similar in shape, how are you? Can you walk me through procedure? I am scheduled 5/30

Hi doll! When you show up they’ll make sure you’ve taken hydrocodone & hydromorphone (pain), zofran (nausea) and anxiety pill and antibiotic the night before and morning of..WITH BREAKFAST. You’ll undress, relax, and gown up. Then the dr arrives nd they’ll take pics and the dr will mark you up. Then you’ll get a shot in the arm (versed) and he’ll pray and start the procedure. He’s awesome. And Rebecca is too. She’s by your side from beginning to end and calling afterwards to check on you. Afterward he’s all done..you’ll stand up (fluids will leak some) and he takes look I guess to make sure he got his targeted areas. You take maxi pads (I loved super absorbent) and I bought a shower liner..for my seat on the ride home..for my bed..girl it’s my bestie. I’m sore but it gets better every day and today I didn’t take any pain meds today. I go bk to work next week so I may need the pain meds next week. I’m still taking antibiotics twice daily

Thank you for replying! Did you see instant results, how does it fill when they fill up your abdomin?

I’m still swollen so no instant results but I can see my silhouette..in garment..you not know wth going on lol..u just know it’s kinda a scraping going on but it’s numb..I know I’m swollen bc there’s a pouch on the bottom of my belly nd I’ve never had a pouch..and certain parts of my flanks and back re tender to touch and some parts are numb.

I’m excited and about to take my antibiotic shortly. My procedure time is 10AM tomorrow. I take 1 antibiotic pill tonight and one in the morning with a pain pill and zofran at 930 after breakfast. I’m not nervous just ready to get sntached!!

I have to go to the store shortly for pads and a shower curtain/liner. I’ll put pics up tomorrow after the procedure.

OMG!! I’m sore but it’s doable. So right after surgery fluids leaked down my legs so bad. During the procedure I kept reminding him that I wanted my waist SNATCHED! Lol
I was numb all night. I had to change my pads several times last night. Woke up this morning and I was very sore..almost pain but I haven’t taken anything. I’m riding it out. I’m up and walking trying to get my body ready for normal activities in the next few days. I’m posting a few pics with garment I’ll take a few without garment in the next few days.
