WORTH IT$11,000
I am a mother of 3 children (ages 11, 7, and 5). I am 37 years old and wanted to have my old body back. I am 5'3 and 132lbs and as much as I work out I could not get my stomach to look the way it did 15years ago. I have gone through a lot of mommy guilt regarding this procedure but my husband reassured me that I deserved this and he has been completely on board. My procedure lasted 4 hrs and I was in shock how much back pain I was having. My incisional pain has been minimal but the back pain has been excruciating. However Dr. Sando was amazing and prescribed a muscle relaxer for me and I feel so much better. I am only 1 day post-op but I am starting to feel so much better as long as I stay on top of my pain medicines. I love not having drains and not having a binder. I do have a lot of bruising but it is all good. I have some nerve pain in my thighs but that is getting better with each day. I can't wait to see the final outcome. I have my followup next week. I will post some pictures tomorrow. I really wish I took some before photos.

Congrats mama! We all go through the mommy guilt... but this is for us and after years of selfless giving, we deserve it... So glad your hubby was on board, mine is too and it makes a world of difference. I'll be having my tt in Dec so I'd love to see your progress! Happy healing ☺

Lots of bruising from my inner thigh liposuction. I think the lovenox shots are making it way worse!!

Hi there. Just checking in to see how you're doing. How is your back? I haven't seen any recent posts and am interested in your progress. Hopefully you are healing well. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I am doing great! I unsubscribed because I was getting over 30 emails a day:)
I saw Sando POD 7 and they went ahead and removed some of the dissolvable sutures. I am healing nicely but super swollen still. He was shocked how upright I was already. My pain is really not at the incision but at the top of my abdomen where he did lots of suturing. I have some new pics and will update. I have a history of keloids so he injected steriods into my scar. It was not painful at all. I am pretty much off pain meds but I tend to over do it so I may take a norco before bed. POD 8 I was driving and running around for 8 hours! I am still sleeping upright but I feel great and my energy level has returned. I have been actually quite surprised how smoothly it has gone. Oh milk and mag works wonders for constipation.
