Give Me my Body Back!!! Please? (28, 2 Kiddos) - Scottsdale, AZ

So ill start with an intro. im a 28 year old, married, full time working mom of 2 girls. Ive had weight issues all my life. i finally got dedicated and lost all my weight through diet and exercise then got preggo. I did the process all over again through diet and exercise got preggo again. this time around the struggle is REAL and i really need a jump start. Now even when i lost weight with diet and exercise i could never lose weight in my arms. they are HUGE. i know its genetics, all the women in my family have huge arms. I literally wear long sleeves every day, and i have done so since my senior year in high school. (10 years ago) did i mention i live in Phoenix where its 1 million degrees in the summer? Anyway... i went to my consultation at Infini Cosmetics in Scottsdale Az around 10/15/16. ( i dont remember the exact date). Its a very nice office. I filled out paperwork and was immediately called back to the doctor's office. I waited for only about 2 minutes and then met Dr Hall. He was very nice and made me feel comfortable. He showed me pictures of the instruments he uses for the procedure, and explained that he was the only lipo specialist in the state of Arizona. I was happy i got to meet with the doctor in person. he asked a few questions about which areas i wanted to get done. I was initially interested in my arms and upper/lower abs. The doctor took me to another room where i took off my sweater and showed him the areas i was concerned with. He was very honest regarding what he could do. i have stretch marks on my stomach and a bit of loose skin. (mommy tummy). he advised that those issues could not be fixed with the procedure but that i would look better in my clothes. (which is okay with me) when examining my stomach he also suggested getting my love handles done or else they would stand out. I agreed. He was quite surprised when i showed him my arms. he agreed that they did not fit my body and they gave me a totally different shape. So after the meeting with the doctor, I met with Shannon who had the procedure done as well. she answered all if my questions. Said the worst part would be getting the local anesthesia which she compared to the pain of getting a tattoo. (not looking foward to that). So after talking with my husband i scheduled my surgery for 11/20/15. Super excited and anxious. I'll be keeping you all updated.

my procedure is 2 days away. I can't stop stalking this website! But im a little nervous now, not about the procedure, but about post op. From what i read im probably going to be recovering for longer than i anticipated. I have a job where i sit all day so im not too worried about work, but im scheduled to work 48 hours after my surgery so im praying to God im not suffering the whole day. im also worried because my kids are super attached to their mommy. im holding one of them at all times, im having my arms done so i dont know how thats going to work.

Im also considering adding my bra rolls. I think the flat stomach im hoping for, with remaining back fat would not be cute and i rather get everything done at once. Im going to call the office to see how much it would cost to add another area. Fingers crossed its under $1500 if so, im sold.

I have so many emotions but mainly just excitement! Ill try to post again day of. if im out of it, ill post on saurday.

Wish me luck!!!

So i had my procedure done yesterday. I arrived at 8am, filled out paperwork, and was escorted to the room. i met the RN and was given xanax and vicodin. Then i took some before pictures. I laid down and the happy pills kicked in. i felt really loopy. the doctor came in and marked me up, then came the pain. OMG i wasnt ready. the lidocane was very painful. my tolerance for pain isnt that great anyway but this pain was more than expected. i began to feel pressure. and the doc started sucking out the fat. The nurse put on a movie. i was loopy the whole time and was sleeping during half of the procedure. i got home and was really out of it. i only had to use the restroom once and i had a mini panic attack. i just got super hot and nauseous. my husband gave me some sprite and some medicine and i went back to sleep. this morning i showered and got a glimpse of my belly and arms. my stomach looks a hot mess. its lumpy all over and very wrinkled. my waist feels smaller but im very swollen. my arms feel a little smaller. My only concern is my compression garment. its not tight at all. it feels like its just holding my pads on. I've read that people cant breath because their garments are so tight or they need help putting their garment on. mine just slides on. im worried its too big and not holding things in. i can easily put it on myself. and it bunches up a little. i have a waist trainer so ill probably switch after my 1 week post op appt. im sure i missed some stuff so let me know if you guys have any questions!

will post some pics today
