Time to get my body back :)

I am 52 and have been struggling with the dreaded menopausal jello tummy for a few years now. No matter how much I work out, everything looks great except for my tummy and waist. Sooooo, I decided to take the plunge and get micro laser assisted liposuction at Sonobello. Procedure is soon, and I'm SO excited to get started :). I will post on my progress :)

Well, I'm Day 2, and everything is going fine so far :). I read the plethora of experiences out there regarding the surgery itself and pain levels, and they were all across the board, so I figured that mine will be what it's going to be and not worry too much about it :). The numbing part was really not a big deal at all (this was the part I was nervous about). It felt like getting shots at the dentist office. During the procedure, there were a few spots that were painful (7/10), but Dr Buzzas stopped and put more numbing agent in,, so it was completely tolerable, So much so, that I wouldn't hesitate to get it done on other areas. Tonight will be the first big test, in that I can take s shower. Wrestling with the compression gear should be interesting! haha I will post pictures soon :)

Pain levels will definitely vary per person, but regardless....take your medication on a regular schedule, even if it is a smaller dose. I've had 3 times now since last night where I slept really hard and went 2-3 hours past the time I could have had meds , and WHOA MOMMA that was a mistake! I haven't had to take the full dose, but when I've taken on time, I've been able to do the walking that they recommend post surgery no problem. Just a thought for ya :)
