Today is the day! Less than 2 hours away I will be under the laser. I am 5'8, about 155 -- relatively proportional body but since i hit about 32 been seeing a lot more fatty areas in hips. My doctor is also doing what he calls the "sensuous triangle" which i think is the area where butt and thighs meet. I've been preparing by taking arnica and bromeline which is supposed to help with bruising and swelling. I am really excited but also anxious b/c i know (from reading on here) that there will be lots of swelling, bruising and draining. I also know that I'll need patience. But I really believe it will be worth it! I will update daily/weeky etc. So optimistic and can't wait!

Procedure went pretty well. It did have moments of pain when the numbing solution was put inside me. Otherwise was pretty much smooth sailing. He took 2600 cc out of my inner/outer thighs, hips, banana roll and back. I wasn't too sore until about two hours ago. Now I'm soooooo sore along the sides of my thighs. The most pain is experienced when sitting down or getting up from sitting down. If I am laying here it's not bad. But if anyone touches my legs--holy crap.
I will say that I can already see a difference which is so exciting!! But as the day goes on the swelling has really increased. I was able to do a lot of massaging earlier today. Not so much anymore because of the pain.
I'm also taking Arnica and bromeline. My bruising isn't bad at all and I have had zero drainage. The no drainage freaks me out bc I feel a bunch of fluid in my body. How does it get out?
Finally I want to give a major shout out to my doctor. While it was a little pricey, it's my body so of course you pay for what you get. I especially appreciated Nicole who is the nurse.

Day 4: I feel really good. I am still pretty bruised and swollen but the pain is so manageable. I can really see a difference in my saddlebag/hips areas. My inner thighs are still very swollen -- no real difference there. But the pain is 2-3 out of 10. I am back at work. Getting up and sitting down hurts the most but once I am sitting, I am just fine.
I didn't have any drainage which worried me b/c feel like the swelling will take longer to go down. I am just so excited with the results already! I know it will only get better from here. Also, I walked on treadmill for 25 mins today to help with circulation and swelling.
