Lower body lift - very excited to have this surgery tomorrow

I had gastric sleeve surgery in 2017. I lost a total of 150lbs. In 2019 I had a breast Augmentation and tummy tuck with another surgery. Still continue to have some loose skin in abdomen and really have extensive loose skin in thighs and butt. Wanted to go to a doctor that specializes in weight loss skin removal surgery. Very excited to have this surgery tomorrow. Dr Capella office has been nothing but helpful throughout the entire process. Great customer service!!! Always so attentive to answering emails right away and completely made this process so simple. Started with a FaceTime office visit with Dr capellla as I live 2 1/2 hrs away. Then when I chose to go with the surgery and preop in person appt was made. Had all my questions plus answered. Dr Capella took the following pictures.

Arrived at hospital, took me back right away. Staff were very nice. Dr Capella came in and answered any questions I had and placed marks on me. Anesthesia placed the IV. He was so nice he gave me Lidocaine first to numb the vein and didn’t even feel him stick me. They walked me back to the OR. The doctor and his assistant swabbed me down with disinfectant. Then up on the table I went and I don’t remember anything else until I woke up in the recovery. I do have to say that I was in a lot more pain than I expected while in recovery.

Once I was more awake I had a snack and water and took a pain pill. That was a game changer. Te pain came down to a tolerable level. The hospital I goose to have surgery was Hackensack Medical Center. I felt very safe here. I also loved that they went over and beyond with little things that went a long way. Instead of a regular white belonging bag they suppled hanging garment bags. While I was in recovery the nurse had me inhaled aromatherapy lavender and sent me home with peppermint ginger in case I get nauseous. She also automatically applied lip balm to my lips without even asking. Really felt like a queen. Once I was ready to leave the EMS picked me up and drove me to Care One Ridgewood nursing facility. The EMS ladies were very nice and again felt very safe.
