Not Looking to Be 20 Again, Just the Best Me Now! - Chicago, IL

I have always toyed around with the idea of cosmetic surgery but always thought I was vain or that others would perceive me to be vain. But have been so supportive of others. Well I saw a groupon and felt that it was within my reach. I wasn't looking for a six pack or looking to wear a bikini (I have stretch marks, besides one pieces are sexier) just want to feel better in my clothes and not have to wear "blousey" tops to hide my belly. I had a consult for a tummy tuck before but $11k was out of my reach.
So, Dr. Yea and Julie were very warm. You want to be comfortable and confident about the physician you choose. I was very relaxed going in as I knew I was going to be awake for the procedure. Overall it was a good experience. There was some pain. Because I didn't know how to work the gas intake. If I did it would have been a piece of cake. Cause you only feel the pressure of the procedure. They took out an impressive 1000pcs of pure fat. 1 liter all from my belly!!
You need some down time. Those who I've read that they went to the grocery store afterwards or cooked dinner or went shopping, lies I tell ya! Lol! Post opinion day 2 I feel good. Up and down the stairs, no pain just tenderness. Not taking the pain meds just the antibiotics.
I keep myself binded with the contour band I was given. Day 1 post opinion I also wear my spanks and the band. I want the best results possible. You will itch like crazy but that's the numbing medicine wearing off. I will post my after pics soon. Here are the BEFORE pics the morning of. Btw, I'm 47 years old.
