I'm 5'4" and 113 lbs. very small on top but have had wide thighs since I was little. I workout 6 days a week and my bottom half just doesn't match the top. I'm super nervous as I don't want ripples or dents and but really would love to finally have legs that look like legs not stumps. I barely ever wear shorts! It's time to try....I asked to be out under as I don't like needles so I probably wouldn't handle bet awake well!

Had pre op. A little nervous. Hoping this works as a 'body contouring' procedure as I feel like I owe it to myself to at least TRY to have thighs that match the rest of me.... Took my rx's in and got day of instructions. Nervous for sure

Day before- why am I so nervous!?

I mean, people do this right? I CAN really work right? I've had wide thighs my whole life.... No matter how thin I am. It would be amazing to have them leaner..but I'm really getting nervous! I had 2 c sections... I felt like it can't be worse than that right?! Ugh.

I didn't have any leg work, but since you've had 2 CSections I'm sure you can to this!!! For some reason I think ab pain is the toughest in terms of mobility. You'll have full use of your upper body and abs so that will really help in recovery.

Oooh. Love handles, too, for you. I missed that. You'll still be fine. Use your pain meds! I'm feeling really good today, day 8. Not really pain anymore, just discomfort.

Can you tell me how bad do you think it was? I will be asleep... Nervous for after though. Hell I don't even like IV's !!

You will get an IV preop., unless you are awake gir the procedure. Mine went in the side of my wrist. It wasn't bad, but I don't really mind these things. She injected first with numbing stuff. It burned a little, but only a few seconds. After, the pain was not bad at all. The tumescent fluid provides numbing, so that helps. It hurts most getting up and down for a few days. Really, it's not horrible! Take your pain meds as directed for the first 24-48 hours, then go by how you feel. After the first few days, I took one in the am when I was most sore and at bedtime to relax. I made the mistake of thinking I didn't need it at bedtime and that's when I slept like crap and was extra uncomfy in the morning. On day 3 I showered for the first time, by myself, no problem and went to my first PO appt. 2 days later I was out and about all day gir Easter and was fine with the 1 am and pm pain pill. In between those days I just hung out at home. Today day 8 is the best yet. Active all day and feeling great! No worries, my dear. You CAN do this. Get your mind in the right place and you will get through it.

I can totally relate, after all of the physical trauma that I've been through I am SHOCKED at my anxiety today. But just think, in 24 hours we will be back at home recouping!

How do you like the results? Half of me is feeling guilty for doing this...half of me is worried it won't look right and then I'm so hopefully it actually DOES help. I'm a mess :)

Very pleased with the results so far. I have ultimate trust in my PS and since she said I'd have improvement that would be worth it to me, I believed her. Be sure you communicate what your goals are and ask if you are being realistic. Having realistic expectations is so important. I knew I'd look better coming out of this than I did going in and that was good enough for me. Removing fat so it doesn't goo over my jeans anymore? What coukd be bad about that? She said it would be gone, and it is. My PS blew my expectations out of the water with my TT, so I knew I was in good hands for the lipo. It's normal to be nervous about the unknown, but if you trust your Dr. you really should have no worry. Remember that recovery is a huge process. Don't stress over every tiny detail along the way. Relax and enjoy it! Sounds crazy, but it will really help!
