I am not exspecting to leave the hospital like hot jessica rabbit.I understand it will look worst before better.I am expecting to see a phenomenal change in my figure at the end of this journey. I am a little worried about damaging one procedure while trying to recover from another. I trust my doctor he does this combo procedure often. He explained that I am supposed to lay on my tummy curved on top of a mountain of pillows with my knees bent. This isbto insure the fat survival from the bbl. He explained that this is safe because there is no bone behind the tummy unlike the breast that would be recieving presure from the breast bone and rib cage. It makes sense and sounds logical. It will probably be uncomfortable but not dangerous. I figure it will be a lot less uncomfortable than having to heal from the bbl and then come back for a tt. I had a c section with my child and it was very challaging. If I didn't go bk for another round of that with a beautiful child as my result. I don't think I would come back to fix some extra skin. This is why I am happy I can have them both in one shot. I wouldn't want to go under anesthesia twice.

Sounds sufficient to me. Can you tell me How many pillows did you get and what is lipo foam? I'm excited for you, yayyyyy!

I got one body pillow, 2 big euro pillows, 2 firm regular size pillows, one latex long pillow, the size is in between the regular and body size. I like the way it feels. I also got a u neck pillow, a tube pillow a bbl pillow and a back rest pillow. I can update pics if you want to see any of them. Lipo foam is squishy form boards like a padded cushion worn in between your garment to make your skin fill better after lipo and help with bruising. I hope this helps.

9 days to go. I'm feeling ready. I went in for my physical Tuesday but won't know if I am clear until Monday due to the holidays. I feel that I will be okay. I went out and picked up some last minute stuff today. My doctor told me he would provide me with a stage 1 and 2 garment but I still went out today and spend $85 on one smh. The worst part is I can't even begin to fit it. So I'm going to return it for a size up tomorrow. I was thinking maybe after the tt I could fit in it, then I thought my tummy anit got nothing to do with my legs and I will have a bigger butt, so I will just exchange it.

Are you having your procedure done in a hospital? I thought Dr. R worked out of his office? I think I would feel more comfortable-at least 1 night in a hospital-especially since I am 47

I think it's all done in his office. I will ask if staying 1 night in the hospital is possible. I have booked a hotel 4 minutes away from his office.
