37, 3 Kids and Extra Junk in the Trunk - Scottsdale, AZ

I have been unhappy with the way that my midsection always pours out above my waist band on my pants. I am constantly pulling them up to try to hide it or mask it. I decided it was time for a change. I went to sonobello and ended up deciding to have three areas treated with laser assisted liposuction.

Went in and had the cocktail to relax me for the lipo. The numbing of the areas with the tumulesant (sp?) was at times painful and took what seemed the longest to me. Afterwards the suction began. We listened to my choice of music. By the time the lipo started I was not having to much feeling in reaction to it other then a twinge here and there. At one point towards the end I was feeling certain spots were getting sore as opposed to others.

Very sore this morning. I thought I'd be able to sorry before leaving the hose but my body hurt and I could barely to remove the compression garment. However i was leaking pretty badly so I just changed out the pads. I did go into town and was active thriller the day. I soaked thru my cloths in places. Make sure you wear dark cloths to help disguise the leaking but otherwise I feel movement is obtainable and I believe it helped me. I felt much better standing up. When it came to sitting down it was very painful and I noticed it was making marks on my stomach in the areas of my swelling. I was much more feeling up to showering later in the night. The leakage had slowed greatly with not all areas having leakage. One thing I notice is I still have a pooch. I'm a little alarmed what if it just hangs there? I suppose I should of asked for a better idea how I'd look after surgery specially in that area. The parts that have swelling are easy to tell from the ones that had less surface work done. Atleast that how I'd explain it in my observation and the stomach pooch has a bit more fluff as Dr Stutman calls it. The belly itself is the least sore. The pubic area, upper stomach and sides being the most painful. I took some pictures, no it was not done at hospital nor did I stay in one. It was done in a outpatient surgical center.
