We're counting down with you.  I'm glad you have support in your husband because that's so important to your well-being.

It's totally understandable to be excited and scared at the same time.  This video might help with the pre-surgery jitters.  Please keep us updated and take care!

Overall surgery was 10,000$? The buttocks fill fat transfer from stomach, correct?

Your results look great but did you on purpose choose to get rid of certain amount of fat or is that all that they could take out? Also, why did you not go for tummy tuck rather lipo? I'm doing research for my mother.

I had a panniculectomy with lipo to my waist and buttocks there was no fat transfer. Also you don't determine how much they take they go by what's safe and the length of procedure etc. You would probably benefit the most if you have a consultation with a board certified PS. I can only share my journey and the procedures that as safest but would render the best results for me. I hope this helps

Have my very last pre-op appointment on Friday. I had to have several appointments because during the pre op screening they put me on hypertension meds and wanted to make sure they monitored my blood pressure on meds and make sure they were working. Today my pressure was ok 133/84 when I first went it was 144/112 scary!!! So keep the PRAYERS coming that it continues to stay on track!!!
