Wow! That's all I can say. All the anxiety I had up until I l layer on the surgical table. I cannot believe how well it went. I recently lost 49lbs and couldn't get rid of the loose skin and my breasts looked like pancakes. I'm on day 2 and only feel sore, very sore. No excruciating pain like I imagined. God is good.

I go Tuesday! I've lost about 60 pounds and am also healthy and fit. Your story gives me a ton of relief. I've read quite a few horror stories. Thanks for posting!

Yes being healthy and fit is a great way to be, before, during and after. It's okay to have some anxiety for sure. Make sure to drink lots of water before, during and after. Congrats on losing 60lbs that's gonna make the biggest difference. Good luck and please keep me posted I will be posting pictures throughout my healing process to show all who is curious :)

Feeling great. Just very sore. So impressed how well I'm healing. Taking pain meds as needed. I was so prepared to feel so sick and I so much pain, but don't feel that way at all. Doctor seems to be pleased and i was already so pleased just by seeing the bandages changed. Looking forward to hopefully getting drain tube out by this Friday at third appointment. I am able to use the bathroom by myself today for the first time without help. That was a relief.

Had some oozing from where the liposuction was in the love handle area. No blood or anything and the drain tube is looking clearer. Called doctors they said no worries it's common and used a maxi pad believe it or not in bra for under boob area and on side love handle are where ooze was coming from. All and all just sore each day getting better. Looking forward to Friday possible drain tube gonna come out ????

I am thank you. The funny part was I was so scared to do this procedure from the beginning. Doing my research, homework on surgeons and this website really helped me with all aspects, questions and concerns. That's why I decided to start my own log and journey for others.
