So, tomorrow I go in for my long awaited liposuction on my inner/outer thighs, flanks and public area And a revision of my belly button. I'd be lying if I wasn't nervous, I am. But I'm looking forward to the end results. I've loved the results of my tummy tuck, which was very painful. I figure if I could tolerate the pain that came with that procedure and the DVT I ended up getting, this should be a walk in the park. Here we go again!

Liposuction done this morning and am home now. So glad I finally went through with it. Just as I suspected, the pain is not near that of a tummy tuck. Definitely painful (bruise/burning ), but worth it.

Would love to see pics and hear progress. I go in for a tummy tuck on wednesday and I eventually want liposuction in my thighs as well!!!

5 weeks PO

Wow! Didn't think I'd make it this far without more hurdles. But, knock on wood- I'm doing pretty good. Despite everything that I've gone through and after looking at my 5 week PO pics (taken today) I'd do it all over again. I'm already to start my second (and final) body project...liposuction on my inner/outer thighs and rear. Happy Days ahead. Good luck to all you New tummy tuckers!!

Thanks iam_claire! I took a swimsuit bottom in with me the day of surgery and had my surgeon mark me around it. I told him that if possible, I wanted the scar to be hidden under it. He did it and I am so glad! !
