WORTH IT$4,495
I am a 40 year old mom of three girls and a grandma of a 3 year old boy. I would love to have definition and hourglass shape and be super flat, so I can wear my dresses without shape wear/ girdles under. I think Dr. Polavarapu along with Dr. Sonita Sadio can do an excellent job. Im excited and scared!! People go to Colombia Venezuela and Dominican Republic for some awesome results but I think his team can do the job, so I'm going for it. Pray for me!! :-)

Did good all night but in the morning I felt the pain whenever I moved. I was discharged today Friday valentines day and headed to my hotel room, as soon as Walked in the drain bubble came loose and fell to the floor tugging on it a little. I called the Dr. P who told me that if it still had suction than the drain was still in place and felt better, phew!!! So i took a little nap and felt better.

I dropped my drains too when I got home but luckily the hoses were long enough and it just tugged a little. Talk about scary and pain though!

I got scared cause I thought there was like and inch inside. Dr. Polavarapu never told me that the tubing was long and across until she pulled them out. I couldn't believe it was close to a foot of tubing in there (I was worrying for nothing for 2 weeks) I was shocked but relieved phew!! They got caught everywhere, door knobs, drawers, the kitchen bottom cabinets knobs left and right but I was glad cause I had alot of discharge...;D

Did not set the alarm and at 5 am I woke up with excruciating pain. Took my meds right away, went to pee and back to bed, and said a prayer (fell asleep praying) woke up 2.5 hours later in no pain. Phew!!! Thank you Lord. Decided to head home 3 hour drive, so I had breakfast and left from N.Y to MA. Before the storm hit. We stopped for a walk (that seemed forever) use the bathroom and kept on. I was soooo glad to see my little ones and they were glad to see mom. They wanted to see and know all about the surgery. Dr. Polavarapu called to check up on me and remind me to order the 2nd stage garment size small.. Soon I'll post some preliminary photos. Monday I can take a shower and peek at the incision :D

How long did you wait to take a shower? My doctor said I could right away but I still don't feel like it yet. Standing up is hard. I do have a bench in the shower but what do you do with the drains? Just set them to the side?

On the fourth day was my shower, she said only shower (no soaking in the tub) and let the water run down and pat dry the incision area. I decided to tell her that I used the blow dryer to dry my incision and strips and oh boy did she flipped on me. She gave me the speech about the dirty filter and infection :-o...anyways Before the shower I only washed my privates, sometimes with water and sometimes with wipes.... When I could shower my husband had to help me with the garment. He would unzip my body garment which my surgeon did 2 small holes for the drains to come out, then either he held the drains while I washed or I would hold the drains and he would wash me. It was definitely a 2 people job cause my first stage Marena garment had zippers on both sides and the tubes needed to be put thru the holes and reattach the bulbs. By the end I was exhausted....after the 1st week I was a pro at showering by myself and was able to move more. I learned to hold my drains in one hand and wash with the other. The 1st week was the harder one..

When I got home I checked the blow dryer and the filter in the back was filthy. Luckily I didn't catch and infection
