34 Year Old BBL Hopeful. Chicago, IL

I will start off by saying you are truely in great hands with Dr. S and his staff. So I stayed at the Dana Hotel which is literally across the street from the River North surgical center. The surgery I literally walked back across street to the hotel afterwards. Worried about the surgery don't they take you back in the surgery room and give you anesthesia and you don't remember a thing . Let me address the pain since I've heard everybody talk about it . The first day, the pain felt as if i worked out for 2 weeks doing weight training. With the pain meds it's totally doable. You will need someone to assist you in/out of bed. That is what hurts the most...but is has to be done to assist with healing and clots. Dr. S approved the use of Arnicare gel. This is a must do as it helps greatly with pain, swelling, and bruising. I can't talk much about my body as I am severely bruised & swollen. My boyfriend gave Dr. S's work 2 thumbs up. I do like the outline...I am looking forward to one month out. I will post pics in a second. Ask whatever questions you may have and I will try to answer them. If I already stated the answer in my post, read carefully, I'm not reposting anything.

So currently I'm sitting in the back of the River North Surgery Center. Nervous as hell, lets just say excitement has not kicked in yet. I'm asking all my RS babes say a quick prayer for a smooth and productive surgery for me. I will update you all later, if I'm up to it.
