Hey Ladies! I've been stalking Dr. Boutté ...

Hey Ladies!
I've been stalking Dr. Boutté reviews for a while now and I must say you all have really contributed to my decision to choose her as my doctor.
I had my initial consultation with with Shontel about a month and a half ago, and after much deliberation, my procedure has finally been scheduled for June 27th! I will be having Lipo 360 done which includes upper and lower abdomen, flanks (love handles), bra roll, and lower and upper back.
I must say that I am experiencing a roller coaster of emotions as my surgery date is 3 days away! Sometimes I'm really nervous and sometimes I'm excited. My biggest concern is my skin (sagging, lumpy) and I know the answer to that is COMPRESSION! I feel like I'm not as informed as I should be about garments! I've seen you ladies talk about compression garments, ab boards, binders, and corsets. How do I know which to use!?
I will be posting my before pictures and weight this evening. I hope to post as much as possible to keep you ladies informed as you've done for me!

Good morning ladies! I must say that yesterday was one hell of a rollercoaster, but I'm glad it's done!!
I'm convinced that I have a high tolerance for drugs because I was awake pretty much THE WHOLE TIME!!! It was so painful that I cried and said "please stop, I don't care if I already paid for this, take my money!"
I don't want to scare you ladies but I'm just explaining my experience. I've read so many other reviews where patients don't remember a thing.
So because I was so alert, I know that Dr. Boutte didn't start my surgery, it was a male doctor. (Side note: he was so good looking! Haha). Later on, Dr. Boutte came in and went it! I'm tell you this pain was so bad that I bit the nurse's hand.
Oddly enough, I had an appointment for 9am but I got there at 8am BUT I didn't leave until 8pm. My boyfriend from out of state came to pick me up and the nurse suggested that I had a grilled chicken sandwich from Chich-fil-A. Damn that sandwich was good!! I was able to hold it down and didn't feel nauseous all. Then I knocked out on the way home (I live about 1.5-2 hours away.
The pain isn't that bad, my lower back hurts the most. The most annoying thing I'm experiencing is using the bathroom. I drink A LOT of water so I find myself peeing every 30 minutes to an hour. It's difficult to bend over and snap the compression garment and my boyfriend has to go back to New York for work tomorrow. I'm pretty scared to take care of myself on my own, so I will be relying on support from my fellow Real Self ladies!
I will post pictures now! And please feel free to ask ANY questions!

Wow, I'm sorry you went through so much pain. I had my consult there today...thats my worst fear. Do you have drains? I hope you have a quick recovery!

Hey Sheree202! I hope your consult went well. Who did you meet with? Yeah I don't know why the cocktail knock me out, but I'm still happy I did it. I can wait to take my garment off for the first time this evening. Thank you for wishing me a quick recovery! Did you schedule a date?
June 28, 2017
I met with Shontel. She was great. I'm thinking about scheduling for July 28! How were you the evening of your surgery? I have an 8 yr old and I want to minimize what he sees me go through! Your after pictures are pretty inspiring!!!!

I met with Shontel as well!! She's so kind. I actually had an appointment at 9am but didn't finish until the evening around 9pm. I was pretty groggy and knocked out as soon as I got home. He will probably just see mom limping. And thank you so much! I can't wait to take off my garment this evening!

Thank you!! I was worried about loose skin too but and even though I have some loose skin now, I rather that than my big stomach. I can hide loose skin but I can't hide a big stomach! Best of luck love!
