Consultation liposuction

Went in for consultation and decided on liposuction in 3 areas upper abs, lower and waist. I lift weights and work out 5 times a week but at 52 the belly just isn’t goi g any where. I’ve been on this site for about a year so I know what it should cost here in Houston. I been working out hard and plan on a late July surgery.

Been preparing for the past 3 days drinking water and taking Arnicare supplements from the doctor to control the bruising. I’m going to eat something light as directed and my procedure is at 11 am . Very excited to get going, I have been in contact with other members of the site and they have been wonderful giving advice and I’m thankful. I’m going in at 10 to get prepared where I’ll take the meds before the procedure.

Everything went well as far as I can tell. I'm all wrapped up and taking my pain meds walking every hour. Here's how it went

1. Came in an hour early and brought to a prep room  2. Was given a IV and meds for procedure I was wide awake and just relaxed.  3. Brought into surgery room where I was washed off in all areas to be affected.  4. Given a shot to numb my belly and both sides. Waiting 8 min the small incisions were made in my abdominal area. The shot was painful but didn't last long  5. And we began! Liposuction began. If felt like a hard message with some painful times up by the ribs.  6. After all The liposuction next was the laser wand and this was not painful at all.  7. After about 30 minutes I dressed myself and was sent home where I'm in bed.  8. Pain meds have wore off and it was extremely painful like a deep burning. I took 2 of the hydrocodone.  9. Changed the pads on the small incision under my wrap and it was really flowing fluids.  10. I'm going to sleep drinking plenty of water and pain meds.  I will update with pics after my shower tomorrow
