WORTH IT$9,100
Went in today for my preop and everyone was super friendly and helped me feel more comfortable. It's a big deal for me to be voluntarily going under the knife and I need to feel confident in the hands of my new creator. The surgeon was very professional and had a very calming aura about him. I am doing smart lipo on my upper and lower abdomen, waist, flanks, and hips. 5 areas for $6500. I will be awake during the procedure which seems a bit intimidating, but it does minimize potential complications from anesthesia. Nevertheless, I will be diverting my attention from the real world by texting, reading, listening to music, whatever it takes. Pretty cool they let you keep your phone on you and read magazines. So 6 days til surgery.... 6 days to eat every carb one last time.... ;-)

How exciting! Are you doing anything to prepare? I'm afraid to pretty much do anything the day before, but I think I might just drink a ton of water to stay hydrated.

I originally said low sodium but then i said, screw it, will focus on the diet afterwards lol. I'm going to the MTV Woodie awards right now! Will just face the music tomorrow when I get there. I have been so nervous the last 2 weeks I have literally made myself super nauseous. It's scary when you don't know what to expect. I hope the numbing isn't as bad as they say. I watched videos of the procedure and it made me even more nervous lol.

Oh gosh, me too. You're not alone in this! I have a feeling the procedure is gonna be less stressful than we think - thanks to our obsessing - and we'll be pleasantly surprised :) you'll be fine!!

Mmmm...sodium. *drools*

a few weeks discomfort is so worth it! I love my slimmer hips and its 2 years out, no return of the fat! One caveat, I notice my legs get heavier if I gain any weight so its not a free for all after lipo! be diligent! good going.

Ok so I am getting closer to my surgery and I made the mistake of watching the procedure online..... now I am more freaked out. Lol. I am such a baby. I hope the numbing isn't as bad as I have read. Anyhow, here are a couple more preop pics.
