Pre Op
I was very nervous. I actually started crying. He performed the surgery in Hollywood at Memorial Same Day Surgery Center. Everyone was very nice and did their best to comfort me. I was awake until the moment I went into the operating room and the last thing I remember was them moving me from the gurney to the operating table.

Dr. Pazmino was late so that made me even more anxious. But when I met with him before surgery he helped me calm down. He drew on me and told me that he would also take a little from my inner thighs to make sure I had a trim look.

When I woke up from surgery, I felt a burning sensation (but I can't remember exactly where). They told me about this before surgery so I expected it. I woke up from surgery on my stomach. I felt really good and actually didn't want to leave. My brother drove me home. I laid down in the back of his car on my stomach. He prepped the back seat with pillows, towels and a shower curtain. By the time we reached home I had a lot of strength.

We got home around 6:30-7pm (surgery was scheduled for 10:30am). I slept most of the remaining day and had some soup.

I had to use the restroom very frequently throughout the night. I got up in the middle of the night to take medicine and was feeling strong so walked the length of my apt 20 times and iced my lipo areas.

In the morning, I went to the office. Anaisca (spelling), the other Dr at the office, removed my garment and put some padding in anff showed me how to clean my drains. I got very weak when she took off the garment. From my understanding, your blood pressure drops a lot when you remove the garment and causes lightheadedness, dizziness and nausea. She told me I could take a shower but I didn't want to because the garment seemed like a hassle to put on.
I had my strong and weak points throughout the day.

I take vitamin C, Ultracet (pain) and Keflex (antibiotic). Clean your drains 4-6 times a day. The most important thing to remember is WIG: Walk, Ice, Gatorade. I walk as often as possible. Ice at least 1x a day and drink about 2-3 24 ounce bottles of Gatorade.

I decided to take a shower. It was the worst decision ever. I immediately got weak when I took off the garment. I was shaking and got dizzy. I had to use the nausea suppository they prescribed. I barely could wash myself. It felt very weird. I had to wait for my garment to finish being laundered. It was very tight after being dried so I had to stretch it. I can't put the garment on myself.

Post op day 4
I had a bowel movement. It was difficult. I sat on the toilet but put the pressure on my thighs. I took a shower after as recommended by Dr. I use Dial antibacterial soap. I had to wash my garment because I got urine on it. When I waiting for it to finish laundering I realized my legs, ankles and feet were swollen. I couldn't even put the garment back on. I called the office so I could get the emergency personnel. I wasn't sure if it was normal to have swollen legs and feet. They told me the Dr. would call me back soon. I forgot that Dr. Pazmno went out of the country to Peru on a service trip so I asked my brother to text Anaisca. She said it was normal and to elevate my legs. I slept without the garment.

Post op day 5
I put back on the garment today. The swelling went down a bit but is still present. I really want to have the drains taken out but it looks like I'll have to wait until Wednesday. They need to have less than 30 ml per day for 2 day in each bulb before they are taken out. One only gets about 20ml a day but the other is at about 35 per day. The tubes are super annoying. I'm also afraid of them being ripped out. I have 4 drains in: 2 in pubic area that reach into my belly, 1 in navel and one in butt crack. The navel really doesn't leak much but the but gushes out from time to time. I wear depends to catch the fluid.

To be honest some times I have issues with catching all my urine in the urinal. So I have to wash my garment when I didn't plan on. Hopefully I won't need to wash it again until the drains are out. They will only take out the front drains this week. The other has to stay in for an additional week.

I was laying on my sides but now I only lay on my stomach. I think the size of my butt has gone down because the swelling has subsided. My but is very hard. I try to massage it. My back also hurts and sometimes its difficult to stand up straight. I''m thinking of getting Arica gel to hep with the remaining swelling.

I think my shape looks nice. He got all the fat out of my stomach and lower - mid back. He told me he would get my upper back but I don't think that as done much. I think up to my bra strap was done. During consults, he told me I would have 7 incisions: 2 in pubic area, 1 in belly button,1 under bra strap, 1 in butt crack and 2 under each cheek. Instead I have all those minus the one at bra strap, one on each hip and one under each breast and one on each thigh. Thats a total of 10 incisions from what I can see.

My knees are starting to hurt.
