Day 1 Post Op
Traveled from San Diego to Texas to visit family the morning after my surgery. Probably. It my smartest idea, but it happened. I traveled with my pup, who was extra anxious this flight and stood panting on my legs the entire 2 1/2 hour flight. Maybe she knew I wasn't 100%. By the time I got to Texas, still had a 2 1/2 hour drive to get home. I had breakfast before leaving SD, but only had a cup of watermelon around 5 PM on the drive home. Was exhausted and sore by the time I got to my parents house and insisted on taking a shower before going to bed that night. Was up every 2-3 hours having to go to the restroom during the night, so not a very restful evening of sleep. Today I'm 4 days Post op, drainage has significantly slowed down, and I'm just a little sore. Day 2 was the worse by far.
I've been considering getting lipo for a while-...
I've been considering getting lipo for a while- after being told I'm overweight by military standards for years- so I did my research and I'm finally taking the plunge. Training trips over the years for work haven't been kind to me- no time to exercise and eat right. I went from maintaining a reasonably healthy (but still overweight for my height) 180 lbs. 4 1/2 years ago to 220 at my highest- 4 years ago after the completion of an extensive and stressful 7 month long school. I haven't been able to get my weight under control since then. I'm currently 5'9" and 210 lbs. I'm hoping this will help kick start a new and healthier and happier me. My procedure is scheduled for May 5th- Upper/Lower Abs, Flanks and Inner Thighs. I have my military weight in 2 weeks after the procedure, so hopefully my swelling will be down enough for me to pass getting taped. Wish me luck- and any advise will be greatly appreciated. :)
Provider Review
Dr. Assassa was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable with my initial visit. He took the time to answer all my questions and explained the various options. I've struggled with making weight for the military for years and always have to get taped. Even with where I am now, I won't pass my tape. He assured me the procedure will help with how my body looks overall and his "girls" will wrap me extra tight the night prior to my weight in and tape to help make sure the swelling is under control.
