Finally Got the Courage to Do This: Upper/lower abs, outer thighs, hips and flanks

Me: 30 yrs old
No kids
5 7"
147 lbs

I've tried: iLipo, Zerona and cryotherapy in the past for problem areas: Abdomen and flanks with minimal results. I've gained a few pounds over the course of last year and now my outer thighs are bigger so I decided to give lipo a try. The procedure is in a few hours and I can't sleep! I'm excited and nervous.

Surgery was yesterday at around 9am. I was more excited than nervous when I arrived into the place. I was given some pills and an IV, then a sponge bath in the operation room. After that I vaguely remember being in the operation room but I remember I was feeling some of the procedure being performed. I felt the cannula moving inside me and I was laughing because it was ticklish but at times it was painful and I was crying! The nurse would tell me its ok we're almost done.

After that I was discharged home and once at home I started to feel a lot of pain .Took my my prescribed medicine but still had pain, specially when moving. I was also having a considerable amount of leakage when I moved and when I tried to go to the bathroom. I was actually dripping a lot when I tried to go and felt like fainting. I decided to stay on the bed for the rest of the day.

Surgery and 1st day was not fun!

Luckily, I am feeling a lot better today, went to my 24 hour follow up appointment in the morning and everything looks fine. The dr told me I should only have about one more day of leaking.

My frame looks a lot smaller even when I have my garment on. And they told me that I am still swollen so I will shrink even more :)

I cant take off garment off yet, but here are some pics. I still have some padding beneath my garment which makes it look uneven.
