First impression was great. Meeting with him a few days before procedure. Trying to get down to 180 prior. I am around 210 now. Haven't interacted with him enough for this section. I can tell his staff is very knowledgeable and care. Although there follow up from the original point of deposit/ contact could be better. From what I heard this is common throughout cosmetic surgery offices. I will be posting more as I get closer to the date.

Are you sure you don't need more time?
I think a week is the minimum. To think I was only going to take 3 days or so
I'm glad you have longer. I have had 2sections so I know a week will not cut it for me!
If I were to do it again I'd say 10 days for just lipo. Not sure for tummy tuck. How long you gonna be out?
About 30 days.
You look great hun. Don't forget to take it easy
Thanks luv! I felt the best I felt in days todat
Thank you I am feeling tons better today
Great!!!! I am mentally ready to go back to work. I'm thinking I might go back a little early. I think movement makes the adjustment easier.
Hello please post an update !! Please !!!

So ready not to be swole

I am already in love with my results and super excited to get back in the gym. Wish I would of dropped a few more pounds first, but this is more than motivation. The areas I got the liposuction in were extremelydifficult for me lose fat

Things start to take a better shape on the 7th day. But I'm getting pretty much swollen during the day (my lower abs, flanks and lower back are huge) bcuz of all the moving...

Omg. Just starting to come out of it

You need at least 7 days off from work. I'm still super sore. Ended up having to wear a garment which was a bummer. I have 2 drains. One is not draining properly so I'm pretty sure we'll have to open the incisions forthat one.

I was just wondering how you were doing. Yeah, I don't know how people go right back to work. I'm up moving around more and everything but no way am I ready for work. I hope that drain cooperates and they don't have to open incision back up. Hugs!!!
I'm feeling much better. It's just a drag getting up and down. How have you been moving? What day are you on now?
Happy healing
Heyyyyy looking good hun!
Thank you! I'm not feeling too good
Why is that?
Nasty nauseu and terrible bloating and swelling
Im hopping still be bloated bcuz I'm kinda boomed with the way I look now.
I'm sure it is! Why are you bummed?
I wish I looked slimmer than I actually am now. I know there is swelling still I see lots of dolls here with pretty much impressive results at the early days. I can see improvement but people look at me and say: ohhh but your are super swollen right? I'm not! And that is killing me!!!
I'm doing good. Tuesday will be 2 weeks. I haven't taken a pain pill in a few days. Yeah, getting up & down is the worse because my sides are still sore. I can't wait to start massages on Wednesday.
If you want the best results you MUST wear a garment for 24 hours for a while. And then at least 12 hours after that. The surgery is only the first step. Your doctor should have told you that. You literally wake up in a garment and then get a second as you get smaller. Those women that do that have the ultimate results. Beauty is pain and u must endure to get the results you want. Oh and don't forget the massages. Must must have
