Hopeful, Nervous and READY! - Campbell, CA

So, having SmartLipo 2 weeks from today. Having upper/lower abdomen, flanks and arms. Dr. has already told me I may have to come back for arms. I am not a small girl and do not expect to be after the procedures either. I just hope to have some shape back. I am very excited and very nervous. Mostly nervous about the healing process, from what I have heard and read it is not the 'quck turnaround' recovery that the SmartLipo websites try to tout. I have also read a lot that it feels like a bad sunburn, well, I hate sunburns. LOL. I also have a very demanding job and have a very low tolerance for pain. So, those two things make me slightly nervous about returning to my go-go-go life in a reasonable amount of time. I am also quite nervous about the 'drainage'. I hope some of you can go into a little more detail about that so that I can be prepared. I am so appreciative for this site, and to those of you who have shared your experience. I feel like I am babbling here....and I dont want to sound super negative. I am excite, and hopeful. But very nervous about the 'after'. I appreciate all of the honesty I have read so far.
