I have currently booked and confirmed my Lipo 360 surgery with Mia anesthetists. My surgery date is March 26, 2019. From my inquiry to confirmation of my surgery was easy and headache free. Even though you pay and book your surgery it is not confirmed into two weeks from surgery date. Because you must gave labs and clearance from your doctor. Remember this is your body and your surgery and you must be proactive with your money!

How are you doing?
March 28, 2019
I am doing great. This is day one after surgery. A lot of swelling and stiffness, not a lot of pain
March 31, 2019
Wow! Day after and your great. Looking forward to your post pics. Speedy recovery.
March 28, 2019
Good! I am having a mommy makeover next week and I am trying to decide if I opt for more lipo or a breast lift. It’s good to hear your pain level is not too bad
March 28, 2019
Hello, so did all go well? I have my surgery on the 8th of April at Mia. I am nervous and anxious but I am glad to hear that you have limited pain.
March 29, 2019
Heyyyy all went well. I have a few pointers for you. Day of surgery make sure you have pain meds with you so as soon as they wake you up ask them to get it and give it to you. Be prepared to wait long waits for everything! If your surgery is later than 8am you will be there all day. My appoint was 930. I didnt get to the back to take my drug test until 1145i didn't see dr until 115pm and I got on the table for surgery at 130 surgery and recovery was over at 245 or 300

I'm glad I came across your review, this was very helpful. I'm having Lipo 360 too on 4/2 at Mia with Dr. Alvarez. So now I know how to prepare for my surgery day there. Your day 3 photos show great results and I'm sure it will get better and better as with more massages and as the swelling resolves. I paid for 3 massages at Mia and have already set up arrangements for services when I return home. I'm so so excited, 4 days until it's my turn. I'm going to continue to follow your progress. What recovery house are you staying in?
March 31, 2019
Alvarez is good no ladies have complained about him. Bring pictures for him. Also it's cold in there bring a throw for pre OP and a robe for surgery and post op. I stayed in plush dont stay there or dolls recovery gateway same owner it looks nice onthe inside butyou wont like it. Same owners.

Hey question about the drug test I am a heavy weed smoker I am stopping slowly want to b completely done by this week my surgery is set for 4/24. What kind of drug test is it urine or blood and do they go into bathroom with you I am trying to avoide this extra 1500 payment for positive drug screen
March 31, 2019
I didn’t know either and I am a huge weed smoker yikes I have to start cleaning my system now any pointers on how to flush my system
March 31, 2019
Yes, the gnc has a flush that you can use that goes undetected by pee but it only works for a certain amount of hours and you can plan when you are suppose togo in the back fofor surgery. You can be waiting for hours. Also if you can stop would be best at leastfor two weeks. Weed thins the blood and you can have extra bleeding because of it. People smoked right after though for the pain. Still be watchful because you will still be bleeding at that time. Or else it will cost you an extra 1500 to reschedule your surgery and it wont be in a couple of days.
March 31, 2019
Heyyyy they dont go in with you so you can very well use others pee. Because they ask you to get undressed and put a gown on then they bringyou a cup to go to bathroom. However, you don'twant to have any issues on the table. You are paying too much money for a new body not to be able to use it because you wanted to smoke. However, I had drinks to days before and night before surgery they didnt know.

@MAM81 That's funny you said that about Plush, cus that was my first choice but they did not have any availability. After the fact I was thinking it was nice looking, but the vibe might have been a little too up tight for me. I'm staying at Silhouette Recovery House, I hope I like it there. I go for pre-op tomorrow, I'm so excited.
April 1, 2019
Wow that’s so great. Congrats!! I am so excited for you. Who is doing your surgery? I am staying at Assistance 4life.
April 1, 2019
I'm so excited for you! I can't wait until you join the get snatched party for 2019. Dont forget to take a coat or blanket and be pre op is usually pretty quick. If you have the funds purchase a additional stage 1 garment. So while the first one is being clean you can put the other on. Because remember when you take it off your body instantly swells and that hurts.
April 1, 2019
Ok I am a little weary now. I thought I did good research but maybe not. I am looking at Assistance 4 life recovery house and they don’t have many pics at all. I may see if I can change to Allure on tomorrow. Have you heard anything about Assistance 4 Life.
April 1, 2019
I am I put money aside. Thanks. Hope you are doing well. Can’t wait to see picks.

Update from surgery
MAM81March 29, 2019
Mia was professional at all times and I enjoyed working with them and there staff. Wait times for everything was over an hour. Get massages after your surgery. Pay the extra money. You need it and it's worth it. Buy and extra garment for stage 1 if you living in a recovery house. Bring your own extra meds. They only give you 12 pills. The real pain doesn't start until day 2.

Thanks for sharing. Wishing you a smooth and gentle recovery. I'll definitely be following your recovery. Would you share your weight or BMI pre surgery. I'm planning to get LIPO but working on losing a few more lbs first. My fear is that I'll still need a tummy tuck afterwards if too much loose skin. So far I think you already look great!! Keep us posted and feel better.
March 29, 2019
My weight was 200pounds and height is 5"3 BMI 34.2. The need for a tummy tuck per my doctor is depending on your skin and alittle about the weight. If your skin is tight and thick you may not need one. But if you have loose skin and thin skin you may need a tummy tuck no matter how much weight you lose.
March 29, 2019
Thank you..my next consult I'll be certain to get this clarification from the doctor. My eyes are on you.
March 30, 2019
Good stuff to know. I'm seeing him may 1sr for my lipo 360.. Did you have to pay in full to get your lab questionnaire? I put my deposit down 1 month ago and no word yet. Trying to be ready, my husband and I are flying in from wa state and staying in a hotel. Was kinda hoping to do some sight seeing, maybe an alligator farm. How are you feeling? Are you more mobile about 2 to 3 days after? You look great!! I'm so excited
March 31, 2019
No. You dont get yours lad questions until two weeks before surgery. You flow up with them dontwait on them to call you. This is yourmoney your body and yout surgery. You have to take charge. They reccomend you dont purchase plane tickets that are non refundable because if you dont get cleared than you wasted your plane money. Yes, I came down a day early and I'mstill here in ahotel. Hopefully your hubby stomach is fine because you will bleed more than having a baby so prepare himwith videos. You will be mobile same day as surgery. Day 2 after surgery isthe hardest day 1 is post appointment you will stillhave meds from surgery in your system. Take two pills before appointment. The touching will hurt. Sleep on stomach only. Ready other comments and let me know if you have any questions. Also purchase a shower curtain for the bed so you dont damage mattress. NO SALT for two weeks at least after surgery. You will swell.

2 weeks post surgery
MAM81April 9, 2019
One more week with foams and board. No more draining and minimum pain. I am ready for the stage to garment. I have went back to work. I have been walking. Nothing intense. I have still been getting massages after the surgery and that is what has been getting through without pain. The drainage manages really work especially with the ultrasound machine.

Again thanks for sharing. You look great and only 2 weeks. WoW. I wondered about how to sleep. Did you sleep on your stomach 1st day after surgery. Also, are the massages for an hour or less. Your stomach looks nicely flat and skin tight. I think great results. How bad is the swelling now.
May 2, 2019
Omg you look amazing! Same dr I was considering too. Thanks dear wish you a speedy recovery. Keep us updated
May 14, 2019
You look amazing.... I’m scheduled in 4 more days with Dr. Sampson for Lipo360. I’m not afraid of surgery but the pain after.... your updating was very informative. Thank you. May you continue to heal.
July 19, 2019
