WORTH IT$6,250

21 days seems like forever, but I am patiently awaiting my turn to improve an area of my body that adipose tissue (fat) seems to gravitate to - my BACK! It's quite unattractive, the multiple layer of rolls. I am so ready to NOT have to tug on the back of my shirt to make sure it is not caught up in a roll on my back. My expectations are realistic and I am praying and hoping for a huge improvement. I am actually having full circumferential abdominal and back liposuction (this includes the flanks). For comparison purposes for anyone who follows, my measurements are: 5"1" tall, 179lbs (and losing), 32" waist, size 12 clothes (and reducing). I will update as these numbers change. Reluctantly, I will go ahead and post a photo of my pre-surgery problem areas because I really appreciate all of the photos that everyone posts. Pictures truly make the difference.

Okay. I most definitely will. It's so frustrating when members don't follow up with their post pics so that we can see the results. So, I definitely will. In what part of the process are you...consultations, date set, still thinking?

So, it appears that the paper tape was really irritating me and itching. I don't know if anyone else has had this issue, but I wanted to share just in case. I was up half of the night trying to scratch, until finally, I decided to rip off that tape. I didn't want to do it, because I have 9 suture sites that needed to remain covered. So, I had to get creative and use panty liners and the opposite sites for adhesive. I feel so much relief, although not complete. I think that once I get all of that adhesive off of my body from that tape, I will feel 100% better. Other than that, I am taking my meds around the clock. I tried to go 6 hours without them on yesterday, but that did not prove to be a good idea. I will stick with every 4 hours for today and Maybe, I will be able to increase the interval tomorrow. Happy healing everyone! And Happy Friday!!!

I may actually be starting to feel some of my nerves today. I am really not sure of what I should have for aftercare, but I am supposed to get the compression garment from the doctor afterward. I wonder how many other garments I will need. I am having lipo to my flanks, full back and stomach.
