Well I'm 34 , mother of three two teens and the baby is 11. I had three c sections and the last being emergency. My last incision was straight up my abdomen. It healed well but as I got older I notice a pudge and some uneven areas in the skin . It's been 11 years and I want my body back . Not just for looks but to feel better all around. I'm 5'4 and currently 190lbs . I love my weight because it's even and my body carries it well . But I do need to loose some extra pounds . I decided this year to focus on me and make me happy. I am from the south , so most of my options are in the Memphis area. I decided to go with nu body concepts because they had so many testimonials of great achievement with previous patients . The staff is very nice and helpful . I scheduled my procedure upper /lower abdomen with love handles for January 9 around my employer schedule so I could have five days of healing before I go back on my feet for 9hours a day . I'm not expecting wash board abs .... But I am excitied to see my results. This year is about a healthy me .

only two days left , not nervous , more anxious than anything ... ready to see some results ...
January 10, 2015
So today was my procedure . I arrived at 8:40 and was immediately taken back to the room to change ,have my before pictures made and take my cocktail of drugs ... Three valium , one phenergen, and one lortab.
After that I was allowed to rest and relax for about thirty mins . The RN Jill was really nice and reassuring . I was high as a kite for sure when they came and got me to go to the procedure room.
They numbed me up with seven shots and waited another twenty mins before beginning ... I have seven drain incission , during the procedure I was not uncomfortable until Dr Conner got close to a bone , ribs and hip ... Those areas hurt like hell. I hollered a couple of times but after the lidocaine he was putting into
Me took affect I could relax again . Any time I needed a break all I did was tell Dr Conner and he gave me however long I needed . We had conversation thru the whole thing and it made it easier to manage the small amount of pressure and pain. We started at ten thirty a.m. and was finished by twelve or a little after . He removed 9liters. I'm sore as I don't know what but not in pain. I'm sure it will come later . You can definitely see some difference but I am swollen and leaking a lot . My husband has been changing my dressings everythirty mins or so . Well RS I'm gonna rest now I will post pictures when I get my shower .

Did they try to get you to do a Tummy Tuck? I went to a consult and they stated since I had a kid I need a tummy tuck instead of lipo which I dont want at all.

No they actually told me that it's better to do minimum invasive as possible and see what type of results I receive from Lipo first if I'm unhappy with my results then the next step would be a tummy tuck ... Tt are really to remove excess skin rather than shape . You should shape your body first then if you have excess skin have it removed via tt.

Did you take any post op pics yet ?
January 11, 2015
No I plan on doing that today , I just stopped draining , and talking about getting up and down all night using the bathroom . I'm still swollen but not nearly as swollen as I was yesterday.
