Lmao. I had those same mixed feelings. I tried to stay off the site but i was feaning like a crack head. Everyone deals with pain differently. It's not the worse pain in the world especially a after three 3rd or 4th day. It's more annoying that u can't sit. I was very calm until i was A about to go to the O.R. then i became really nervous. U will be good, trust me.

Good more guys. So i had my surgery yesterday and let me tell u...last night was horrible lol. Not scare you but i guess the hardest part was trying to get off the bed. That was like insane. Also i heard many women had back pain and that is what also v sucks. The lipo areas hurt too but the pain meds makes this now tolerable. So I'm still swollen anf u cant really see the contouring of the waste but my butt def looks good. My mom was like wow it looks almost as if u were born with that. Its nice and big. The doctor told me that he was going to put all my fat back there cau s e no one complains of how big it. They complain more of how NOT Big it is. My sides hurt alot by the tip of my ribs. Let me try to post some pictures now. Thanks girls for the well wishes and support

hi girls so I needed to the other side thank you Lord for accompanying me towards his huge ordeal in my life. I am excited and so far so good I went into surgery this morning at 9:30 a.m. And was out of there by 12:15 p.m. So I can say that that's good because it's less of a risk for the bad stuff if you know what I mean. So right now I'm in the hotel room I got back to the hotel room at possibly cool clock took a nap I'm up walking around I am a little worried bug so I get up to walk every about 20 to 30 minutes for about 10 to 15 minutes. Film ice cream today started off kind of bad, I got to the surgical center at 6:30 in the morning. Turns out that the anesthesiologist was sick.! I was pretty upset because this is the second time that they pulled something silly like this. Anyways about 3 hours after waiting in the cold cold depressing room maybe I'm exaggerating sleepy was 2&a half whatever feel very long whatever I met my new anesthesiologist and she was a woman for a little asian lady super cool very sweet. so anyways she asked me to say goodnight to my son and my mom and I did just that. Once we started walking to the old are rules things got real I started sweating from my palms as if I was Dipping them in water. It was a little was a littleFrighteninganyways she told me she was gonna 0give me some happy juice . dr. Ortega was playing some music And the while atmosphere was pretty cool. One i started talking i must of dozed off because i woke up what seemed to be a few mins. I woke up swearing i was hungover from too much drinking lmao. Obviously not. Well I'll post more details tomorrow.
