I've been wanting a butt for ever lol, and over the past year I've acquired so much fat around my mid section that I can't stand it anymore! I try to work out, I can feel the muscles underneath the fat! I've also had 3 large incisions (2 c-sections & hysterectomy) that Dr. Iacobucci will excise and make into one low scar. (He said lipo would not improve my unhappiness of my stomach if the scars were there-it would magnify them). Which is great because I thought I could only get rid of them w/a TT! He will be removing any excess skin, but he's not considering it a TT. I was told I will have a drain-yuck. I'm so nervous-today is Sunday & since I've been awake all night worrying (and have a lot to do since surgery is TOMORROW)-I'm not going to church. This is starting to make me feel guilty-like I will have a bad outcome for not going! Ugh the stuff we put in our minds! Anyway, I know I'm in excellent hands, I just keep wondering what I'm forgetting for after surgery. Exactly a year ago I had a BA and my mom had to run to the store a lot! I'm wondering how I will be able to sit, or even sleep since I'm having the stomach done also and that's where a drain will be...I've been reading a lot on here and everyone says they have to lay on their stomach! I did purchase quite a few things tho, maybe the boppy pillow in my recliner...?! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've already been told that I'm not going to have my "want pics" bcuz I simply don't have enough fat-but I chose to do the surgery now & not "add" fat. I know I will be happy w/a small waist & anything that can be added to my butt he said he will put all he can! I'm 5' 6" & 132 lbs. I will upload the gross photos I took, and some more that i'll take tonight w/out clothes. Wish me luck lol!

No it's a cosmetic procedure, all of them. My stomach has bothered me like crazy-I have 3 different incisions from 2 c-sections and then a hysterectomy. I will be so glad to have them gone! I will post pics of my stomach later tonight...probably do another set of "pre ops".

So, I made it home-it was not fun! I made sure to have pillows, blanket, and a small inflatable ring that kids use for swimming. It helped a lot. I'm now trying in vain to get comfortable...pretty sure that's not going to be an option. I didn't have nausea really, just dizziness. The first trip to the bathroom was a joke-I had the great idea to put the inflatable ring in the toilet seat for comfort. It was comfortable-however I would like to thank my bf for cleaning up my urine! I'd say the stomach is my most painful, then my sides, and my booty's on fire! Hope everyone is doing well! I took pics this morning right b4 we left-i'll post them. Side note-Dr. Iacobucci has called me personally twice-such a great man :)

I did not sleep at all last night because it was impossible to get comfortable, I can't sleep on my stomach and I can't sleep on my back very well, and my sides r sore from the lipo! Ive only taken Tylenol and Valuim-I told myself to see if I could do this without the oxycodone-I wouldn't recommend it! Anyway, I took a quick shower this am, changed, but haven't been able to eat or drink much. I will soon. I've been alone the past cpl hours so I'm missing my help! I took a couple photos when I got out of shower-there's a lot of swelling-hardly any bruising! The butt-well I've been trying not to sit on it directly but I've spent the last day in the recliner, I prop up so it's as least as possible. He wasn't able to put much fat in (I didn't want to gain weight for that) so I will see how it goes!
