I had trouble sleeping last night. I don't know if I'm nervous or excited. Probaby both! I'm ready for a new body. Something that won't discourage me at the gym when I'm working my butt off and I stil l have this big stomach. Not for long, baby! Legs and arms are firm and muscalur, then I look at my midsection... yuck!

Thank you. 5 days to go :) I opted to get the pain pump based on comments I found online.

That's great. It'll really help. I had Experal and my recovery has been remarkable. Good luck!

Nice to hear! My PS didn't even mentioned it to me and downplayed the idea of getting the pump when I mentioned it. Had I not read about it here, I wouldn't have known it was an option.

To me is totally worth the extra $$ ! You get good pain relief with both, with the pump you will have an extra bulb to carry that's filled with the meds. With exparel, it's injected in the muscle prior to the incision being closed. Both last 72-96 hrs. So either is a super choice and makes a huge difference in recovery! I'm so glad you found t about it!

I'm having tummy tuck with lipo on my inner thighs, upper stomach and flanks.
