Before the Surgery...

I booked my surgery with dr. Del Vecchio in Boston! I was originally planning to go to Miami but I was not feeling secure with the idea of being away from home while in so much pain. When I found Dr. Del Vecchio he answered my request directly, he sounded knowledgeable, I liked his results and his reviews on Realself were good. I wanted to go with drrealfeelgood but I visited his office before and it just didn't feel right. my call with Dr.del Vecchio instantly sold me and dr real feel good is way over priced.
I am 16 days away from my surgery and I am starting to get really nervous and doubting this decision. I have been reading mixed reviews on other review sites about this doctor but the photos and reviews on here make me feel better. I am worried that he seems to have a different technique than many other doctors. Either way I know God brought me to this doctor for a reason and I trust who God puts me in front of. I'm excited to talk about my journey and I'm excited to feel a sense of support from this community. I am 176 as of today, that's about 10 lbs heavier than my normal weight because of quarantine. I have bad love handles and no shape and that is why I am doing this. I am hoping it gives me my confidence back. My body doesn't do well with scars so I am worried about that. I have all my post op care items ready

Happy with Results So Far, Not Happy with Communication

Luminous288142
This week I am 3 Weeks post op. I will break my review down in sections just to make it easier and clear to everyone.
Communication:
From the moment i requested a consultation with Dr.D he was quick to respond and willing to answer any question that I had. That is really what made me comfortable to go with him.  
Coordinator: 
Terrible coordination from his coordinator. I told him about it and he said she is over worked. Honestly, i dont care. I had to continue to follow up with her when she should be the one following up with me. The day before my surgery she didnt even know that my covid results weren’t sent in and she asked if I had pid when I paid in full on day 1. I was frustrated with her communication. It felt like I was working for myself.  
Other staff: 
All other staff that I encountered was really great. From the time I arrived they made me feel so comfortable.  
Day of surgery: 
I waited 1.5 hours outside of the office which pissed me off because the coordinator didnt give me any idea that I would be waiting that long. She should have given me a heads up. Dr. D energy seemed really low and like he was over the day. I was his 3 rd patient of the day. The way he was talking in the office didnt make me feel confident in the results I was about to get. I got so thrown off I forgot to show him photos of what I wanted. Things were moving fast and i got over whelmed. Dr. paul was sooo nice i loved him.  
Results: 
I got 1500 cc in each cheek and I feel like my butt has gotten soooo small. I am so worried about it but I hear that at 6 weeks the fluffing process starts and will get bigger. Im trying to be patient but im seriously paranoid checking every second how it looks. My lipo looks great im way slimmer than I thought I would be. I have fluid in my mid section that I think will go down. Post op care: 
The post op “list” they give you suckssss. There is nothing there that mentions what to eat after. I fet like I had so many questions that just were not greatly addressed and I know i could ask the dr. D through text but i didnt want to continue bothering him. It felt like they have been through this process so many times that the team just wasn’t sensitive to the fact that this is a major decision and procedure for someone. They could do a much better job. Other drs have a full page on there website of FAQ and what to expect. Etc

You look great! What items did you use post op?
August 23, 2020
Thank you.
Faja , arnica cream, bio oil, Tylenol and pee cup.
All the items they tell you in youtube videos to get you dont really need because this doctor doesnt use drains so i wasted my money. I would say get 2- 3 fajas for each stage because I kept peeing on myself even though i was using the pee cup so you dont wanna have to wait every time for a faja to be washed.
