I was referred to Dr. Wolf by a girlfriend, I got a good vibe immediately. He answered all of my questions and was really nice. I wanted to get my thighs done also, Dr. Wolf let me know I didn't need it and he refused to do it that made me even more comfortable. Super excited to see my results. Will be sure to post as I progress.

3 Days post-Some surgery details
Bebe_deeJune 16, 2015
Wanted to provide some details on my surgery and progress so far. My post-op is Wednesday so I will be able to post some pics then.
The day of surgery: I arrived at 10:30 my surgery was a 11, after a little wait I was called back and Dr. Wolf took pictures and drew the circles. I met with the anesthesiologist she was super nice and she tried to start the IV. I have super small veins so it is always a task for anyone to get a vein. It took almost 45 minutes to get the IV in (she even tried my feet ouch) she was finally able to get a vein I was super happy because I was in a lot of pain and was crying just because I felt bad (crazy I know). She was super sweet and patient, she and the nurse kept me warm and talked me through a super stressful time. The next thing I knew I was waking up in recovery super confused lol.
Night after Surgery: I slept the entire night my Doctor prescribed Percocet for pain and let me just say it was a LIFE SAVER! I had to take 2 every 6 hours I am also taking an antibiotic ever 12 hours.
Day 1 after surgery: Sitting up was the hardest thing to do! I wasn't so much in pain but I was super sore like I worked out for 10 days straight no break. I didn't have an appetite so I just ate applesauce and drank water. My doctor told me to make sure eI walked around to prevent blood clots and honestly walking and standing is a lot better than sitting. Also my throat was on fire from the tube I am sure. Overall I am super swollen and I can't wait to get these bandages off on Wednesday. I didn't have too much leakage. I saw some ladies that have soaked through there garments. I see blood and stuff on the bandages but its nothing too bad.
3 days post: I woke up today forgetting I had surgery, I still don't have too much of an appetite so I ate fruit, applesauce and some crackers. Still drinking a lot of water. I didn't really need my pain meds today. I was feeling so good I did too much moving around and really hurt myself. I ended up having to sit down for a while and take my pain medications. TMI moment I haven't had a bowel movement since the surgery finally had one later on this evening after eating greens (my mom has been trying to get me to poop for 3 days lol).
Overall I am feeling good. I can't tell how my body looks my stomach still looks really swollen. I will be sure to take pics Wednesday after my shower (my doctor told me not to take a shower until after my post op and I am feeling gross even though I take a bird bath 3 times a day it seems)
Excited to see my progress! Happy healing Real Selfers :) Will post pics Wednesday xoxo

June 18, 2015
Thank you! I am wearing my garment all day. I need to find another one though because it is cutting into my skin BAD. I did not have much drainage and I had zero bruising.

So I went to the Doctor today and he says that everything is healing really well. He said he took out a liter and a half of fat he showed me a picture but I was really grossed out by it lol. I have 2 areas with dissolvable stitches and the others are open but really small. I was surprised to see that I had ZERO bruising...the way my body felt I was sure I was going to be black and blue...but that wasn't the case. I am going to get a new garment tomorrow, the current one is cutting into my back (you will actually be able to see it on one of the pictures) I have one more follow up next week to make sure that no fluid is collecting under my skin but he does not believe that it will happen. I am excited to see how my body changes...honestly my back still looks really weird to me. My back has always been my problem area, even at my smallest I felt really self conscious about it so it may just be in my mind. I am still really swollen and in pain but nothing major. If anyone has any suggestions on garments or fajas I am open to suggestions. Happy Healing all of my Real Selfers :)

Girl, you look great! Thanks for posting the pictures. I ordered a Design Veronique garment and it is very good, but be sure to order your size with swelling and all because it is very, very tight. I was between sizes with their sizing chart and ordered the lower size. That was a bad idea. I should have ordered the next size. I had to have help from my husband to snap and zip it up and it was a real orchestrated event. I don't feel comfortable at all with it on and have already ordered the next size up. However, I am going to keep this one because I expect to need it when all the swelling goes down. Today, I am 8 pounds over my pre-surgery weight. I also ordered a Marena garment overnight and will get it tomorrow as well. I will let you know which one works best.
But, I think that your results will come together nicely and you are going to have a great summer!

Thank you!! I looked at the garment my Doctor gave me and it is a design veronique. It is cutting into my lower back really bad so bad that my doctor gave me foam to assist with it. I am going to look into the Marena garment and I am going somewhere tomorrow to find something that may work a little better and not cut into my body. You look AWESOME also! I am so excited to see how you continue to heal. Thanks so much for the encouragement.

I have the zippered torso brief. going to look for something without a brief and hopefully a little more firm :)
June 18, 2015
Oh ok. I ordered the Zippered High Back Body Girdle (R854) the first time and it just doesn't feel comfortable and it doesn't target all of the areas that I had lipo-ed. So, the 2nd one I ordered is the style #B850tcp and I think I will like this one much better because it targets all of my lipo-ed areas. Then, the marena that I ordered is #FTA which is the full torso bodysuit with no legs.
June 19, 2015
Hey. I just wanted to follow up with you about the garments. Both came in today and I really like them both. The Design Veronique has much more compression and is actually more comfortable only because I ordered one with the shorts and the Morena that I ordered is the brief with the snaps in the croch. It is actually very comfortable with the exception of that croch. So, I have to learn how to make that area more tolerable. The material is a lot softer and for me it runs truer to size.
June 19, 2015
Thank you so much for this information I really really appreciate it!! I am back using the Design Veronique with the foam it helps a lot. Looking into the Morena also! Thank you again

You look good, my only problem after my surgery was the back fat wasn't gone. :( But I was definitely recommend you buying Ardyss slim shaper with straps B...the bomb! I swear by this company...the garments are comfortable and so worth it...trust me. http://ardyss.com/body/slim-shaper-with-straps-b.html

Thank you so much...I am watching my back like a hawk lol that has always been my main problem area even at my thinnest I still had back fat...I have noticed its slimming down a lot but I want it flat flat...thats probably really unrealistic...I will check this shaper out...thank you again

I had 5 liters taken out probably explains why I feel so weak.

Wow!! Your doctor put in work! I bet you look amazing! The pain is temporary! Can't wait to see your results
