Hello everyone! Tomorrow is the big day! I am very excited and I've been stalking RealSelf for quite some time- so I am prepared. My doctor tells me that I have a small amount to remove (she even told me that it's going to be a small change and most likely I'll be the only one who notices. Which is fine because I am doing it for ME! :-)), just pockets of fat, and that I can get away with wearing the stage 2 garment. That, I am very happy about, as I think I'll be much more comfortable. She also thinks I may be able to stop wearing the garment earlier than usual since I'm not having a large amount done.
I am 44 years old, 5'5" and about 123 pounds.
I've opted not to use medication so I can drive myself. We'll see how that goes. I'm not nervous right now so I hope I still feel that way tomorrow.
I had some lipo about 20 years ago to my tummy and flanks. I've had irregularities that have bothered me and I hope that Dr. Wray will be able to correct them. It's difficult to see in photos.
Other than that, I am doing I/O thighs as well as knees. My left thigh is larger than my right, so I'd like to see better symmetry and a better contour than I have now.
Measurements:
Left thigh: 22
Right thigh: 21.5
Left knee (right above knee cap): 14.5
Right knee: 14.75
Waist: 28
Here's hoping for a great outcome and easy recovery!
I will update if possible tomorrow(day of surgery).

I had my surgery this morning. I was scheduled for 9am and things got started about 9.30. I did not take any medication so I could drive myself home. As just about everyone says the numbing solution is the worst part. Lots of poking and weird sensation of breaking through the fat. The solution worked very quickly and she basically got started right away. She began from the back first doing outer thigh, rear of inner thighs and knees. When she was finished with that, I flipped over and she numbed me up again, which wasn't as bad as the back for some reason. She did my tummy revision first and then front inner thighs. Then I was finished! Oh, and she used sutures, not open incisions.
I got on my garment. Used the second stage- so no zippers or hooks! yay!
I did not feel any twinges of pain until about 2 hours later, so I decided to take my oxy medication. It's 8.30pm now and I haven't taken anything since. But, I am feeling some pain around my belly button and the incisions in my butt crease. Nothing bad at all though. No problems when walking around, just getting up and sitting down I feel I want to be more careful.
I've been relaxing on the couch, but also bopping around the house and making dinner, etc. I feel good----so far!
Tomorrow I will attempt a shower, see how things are, and get some pictures. Very exciting!!
Amount of fat removed: 450cc
Taking arnica capsules supplied by the dr.
Plan on oxy maybe at night, and ibuprofen when needed.

I am still feeling very well and moving around just fine! I took an oxy last night thinking it would help me sleep, but it just made me feel weird and kept me awake most of the night. So, no more of that. I don't really seem to need it anyway. I took 2 ibuprofen this morning and don't feel any pain unless I bump into something or touch the areas.
All in all, things seem to be going great! Very pleased with my first day. My thighs seem to be swollen about 1/2 inch, but it's what I would have expected. Still taking the arnica from the dr. and started the arnica gel this morning.
