You look great, I'm still trying to grasp all that goes in to this procedure! What has to be done first, do you do the consultation? Since we are out of state, do you need to start some kind of regimin before your appt? What products do you take with you, where do you get your garments, what size, what are they called? Forgive me for so many questions, I'm just totally overwhelmed on how much goes in to this but I'm going to do it, I've wanted one for yrs, do this yr I'm treating myself! I'm 5'7" 1/2 215....do I need to lose weight first, I have no idea about where to stay, , so many questions, I've read so much my mind is mush....again you have BEAUTIFUL CURVES and hope your recovery is fast, you should be sporting all that by summer girl, I'm hoping I can figure all this out soon and make my appt for in March , hope to read from you soon and THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

Welcome to RS!!! The best way to learn about this surgery is by reading reviews. I inboxed you some info. If you are having surgery at Vanity, you can go to Miami for a consultation, or you can wait til pre-op a day before surgery and have it then. Have your iron/hemoglobin tested with your doc to find out if you need to take iron pills before surgery. Good luck on your journey.

Still Draining

Tomorrow I will be officially 1 month post -op and I'm still draining my stomach. Since Dr. MCadoo drained my stomach on 1-23-2015 I had to drain my stomach five times. Most of my swelling has been in the lipo areas. My back and my stomach. My ass is fine. Its just the damn fluid retention. I have a family member who is a P.A. and taught me how to drain my stomach myself. I take water pills on a daily basis. Which does help with flushing out the fluids. I ace wrap my stomach and ware my garment on top of it. The amount has decreased. This morning I only drained 60cc. Which is great. My cousin said this is normal with lipo and that some pts have to drain there stomach for up to 6 weeks until the tissues have healed and connected back to the muscle. So hopefully this should be my last time.

I have to drain it with a needle and syringe. You pull back on the syringe and drain all the fluids off your mid-section
