WORTH IT
I am a 42 yr old mom of two kids. I have always watched my diet and try to eat healthy most of my life. It seems like the older I get no matter how much I diet or work out I cannot get certain areas to lose weight. I lost 20 pounds and my whole body showed it except for my arms and tummy. I had heard about Dr Aaron Rollins and Elite a Body Sculpture on Tv and saw some of the work he had done on a few celebrities so I made a consultation. After talking to him I felt really confident about him being the one to do my surgery. I decided to schedule my surgery For May 29 for my arms and one week later my Stomach and flanks.
Yesterday was my arm procedure and let me tell you it was an awesome experience! I went in pretty nervous. I was afraid of the unknown not knowing what to expect, of being awake while they did the procedure and if it truly is as painless as everyone said in all of videos and reviews.
I was checked in, then taken to the pre op room. Dr Rolllins came in and took some photos and marked the areas of my arms that he would be working on. I was given a comfy robe and warm socks. Dr Rollins sweet nurse took my vitals, administered a (painless) shot of Demerol, a Xanax pill, antibiotic and a sublingual of an anti nausea medication. The medication was the perfect amount because it immediately calmed my nerves without making me feel too loopy or weird. I felt good! I was taken into the procedure room and hopped onto the table given laughing gas and oxygen and the Dr got started, the Dr has an awesome bedside manner chatting and answering any questions I asked as he worked. The nurses were sweet holding my hand and being very attentive. The best part of all of it was that I NEVER felt any pain during the whole procedure!! I could not believe I was awake and having liposuction and not in pain at all! After the procedure the nurses put me in a super fitted long sleeved garment and I went to post op for about 20 mins, was given post op instructions by the Dr and I was all done. The entire experience took about 1.5 hours from start to finish and I was up walking out the door and hungry enough to stop and get a bite to eat at a restaurant a few doors down. I had a prescription for Vicodin and for antibiotics. I did take Vicodin last night because I was feeling sore and wanted to sleep good. So far the worse part of any of it has been the draining. I am laying on a giant pad and draining like crazy which I know is a good thing but it feels kinda gross. I cannot wait until tomorrow so I can shower! I am super confident and feel great about my decision to go with Dr Rollins & I am no longer nervous about my tummy procedure next week, I'm excited!
I will update with some before/After pics as soon as I can load them!

I had a good day yesterday rested in bed mostly watched movies, ate a little, took my antibiotics and pain medicine. I was able to get up and wash dishes, feed my dogs and fold a load of laundry. I am pretty sore like if I had lifted some super heavy weights. It's manageable though. I really dislike my garment because it's so tight ! I know it's important in recovery so I'm gonna get over it! I recommend to anyone having arms done to purchase a second garment so you always have one clean to switch into.
