28 Year Old Mommy of One 6 Year Old & Mommy Pouch Will NOT Go Away :-( Norcross, GA

Hello! I'm due to have surgery tomorrow, 04/04/16 & i am a nervous wreck & both excited!! I'm getting the four areas done upper/lower abdomen. I found a really great offer on Groupon with Graceful Contours in Norcross, Georgia. My consultant/nurse Juliette is AMAZING! She answered any questions i had & was so patient & friendly. I met a few other nurses there also who were very sweet also. I haven't gotten a chance to meet the surgeon Dr. Gerry Sotomayor due to him being in the O.R. Will see him for the 1st time on surgery date... Hopefully he is as nice as his staff :-/ I will post my after surgery pics once i get home & settled... Just a few before pics i had my mom take today (day before surgery) ... Wish me luck & pray for me :-)

Ok i was a little out of it & experiencing slight discomfort yesterday so I wasn't able to update my 1st day of surgery my apologies

Day 1: So yesterday was my big day aka my surgery date!! Everything went well by the grace of God. They gave me some sedatives to relax me for the surgery & i was totally sleeping through most of it... I do remember the surgeon poking me with whatever tool it was to numb me all over my belly (abdomen) it was a slight sharp feeling but nothing too too bad... I fell asleep after awhile of her doing that then when k woke up they sat me up for a 45 min downtime for the numbness to settle & gave me a bathroom break. I looked down & my stomach was sooooo HUGE & swollen i was like wth?! Lol looked like they pumped me with water like a balloon & I couldn't even feel a thing... After my bathroom break they helped me back on the table to lay back down & hooked back up to the monitors & blood pressure pad. I fell asleep AGAIN (i know i know but geesh that sedative was the truth lol) ... I remember coming in & out of my sleep to the surgeon using the vaser suction & velt slight vibrations but that was about it. They made me feel so welcomed & comfortable i am greatly appreciative of the staff from Graceful Contours!!! Going home though for me was VERY uncomfortable the garment was/is extremely TIGHT & i had to keep adjusting as best i could without harming myself. It was really hurting my back. The good thing about their garment is it has an opening at the vagina & buttocks so easy access to use the restroom. They prescribed me hydrocodone & i took it once got home after i ate a grilled chicken ceaser salad from Zaxby's but i threw that up after like an hour later ???? (They said vomiting is expected after surgery the 1st day & 2 days) & the drainage was bad a few hours later. Changed my pads & went to bed afterwards.

Day 2: Ok sooo... Day 2 is not so good. Pain & discomfort is REAL! BUT nothing a little hydrocodone pill canyhandle so i am now relaxed. I'm about to call my doctor to see when i can shower because i woke up soaked from the drainage. Showering on the first day of surgery is NOT allowed & i am in desperate need of one now lol...

Will take more pics once i get the green light from my doctor i can shower... Then will show actual stomach without garment

Ok i said i would take pics without my garment on after getting permission to shower from my surgeon... Here it is. Still swollen & not much results as of yet but there is a difference from my first few pics before the vaser lipo... i'm hopeful & will begin my walking this weekend :-)

Slight bruises not much. That shower felt sooo good! Felt all yucky from the drainage lol

I won't be posting day to day pics only 1 week later pics. But i will keep updating my healing process for those who are curious on how that whole healing thing works!
