All is well. I am still swollen. I was told only wear the garment for 15 days after my drains were removed. When I stop the swelling increase and my stomach felt unbelievable tight. I decided to keep it on while I am at work and when I go to bed. The little gap in between is so I can adjust little by little without the added protection. I never rest. I went to work on my third day. I am in college right now so... I gotta bite the bullet and push forward. Overall no regrets. Yes I will do it again. Pictures taken exactly after one month.

Alvarez did an amazing job on u hunni!! U just gave me a sense of security now !!!! I'm scheduled w him 5/26 for Ex TT + flanks lipo but I'm nervous he won't snatched my entire love handles bcuz of the "1 liter fat removal" law. Did he remove all ur fat from ur love handles?

I had the exact procedure. He really kind and answer all your questions. He even joke around to make you feel at ease. I just wish I went to his private practice for more TLC. Fat removal: Honestly that a question I always for get to ask. I know he remove some fat cause I can feel the soreness. Hopefully when the swelling go down I will be able to really see. I don't want to look like I have a muffin top. I am waiting for my 3 months so I can start running. And see my results.

I asked the MA and I was told he only removed .5 liter of fat. So I don't think that all my love handles. Hopefully I can see better results after 3 months. After to much activity in a day I still get pretty swell. It hard to tell.

Did anyone have bad gas pains?

I was done by 5pm. So I didn't eat before I went to bed. The next day I ate a little and then the next day the same thing. By the 3rd day I was filled with unbelievable gas pain. They were loud noise that anyone close by can hear. I was constipated, nauseous and gassy. Anywho the Dr told me what to do. After that ordeal, I noticed new stretch marks that are lighter with a bruise. Now my right drain is leaking. I am below the 30cc threshold but have to wait until the 23rd to yank them out. I am about to yank them myself. I will still do it all again. No regrets. Well, That all for now. See you all May 8.

I had bad gas pains or so I thought, I couldn't sleep it was hurting so bad, but honestly I think it was my drains causing it because the pain stopped when the drains came out.

No mines was different. It lasted about 4 days. It was noises from my stomach... like growling, grumbling sound. It was like air gurgling with liquids as it passes through. Every movement was extremely intense. I had to grind my teeth because of the pain.

How are you doing? My TT , lipo of flanks and BR are on June 8 with Dr. S. Any advice? I'm flying in from Oregon on June 5.

Yes. Please get your meds the day before. Don't bring anything with you. The first day will be the hardest. Take it easy. PLEASE EAT. Even if it a little bit here and there. Even if you do not feel like it. The gas pains are excruciating. Buy Gas Ex. Stool softener. When you go to the office pack patience. A lot of it. Do not let the little things get to you. If you are not use to us Miamian then you will get offended. We mean no harm yes our attitude suck but we come in peace. Just don't go with the flow be the flow. Be assertive with your care and ask questions when you do not understand. Hope this help. If you have any questions let me know.

Well I was scheduled for 1pm but didn't go in until 3pm. I went in at 199lbs. I didn't weight myself I am to weak to do anything. He was awesome. The whole entire staff was great. They took there time and made me feel like I was in safe hands. I didn't feel a thing. I was told I was going to feel a little drowsy and I was out cold. I woke up like a freight train hit me. Overall I can say it is well worth it.

Your before/after pics are AMAZING, even with the swelling. I love your belly button too. Normally, I see the ones that look like coin slots. Thank you for your update in the midst of the pain. Best wishes on your recovery. :-)
