I figured why not share my story to possibly be able to help someone else in my position.
So, I am around 150 pounds and height of 5'4. This Thursday i went in for my consultation with my Tampa Surgeon, Dr. Castor. I found out about his work via this website, and i couldn't be more happy with my so far expeirence. There was no long wait, the Doctor came in and explained the procedure and process very clear, and to top it off the staff was very kind! I had planned on starting some Tech classes in October, so one of my biggest concerns was when the next availbailty for surgery would be (not wanting to be in school during or around surgery time). My concern was erased as the closest date was a month away! So here i am waiting! Pictures will come the closer it gets to big booty time!

Day One !
Okay so I decided to just wait till after the procedure to make more post, which was today! I went in this morning, and left around noon. My pain level immediately after waking up was at a 5 out of 10, but mostly because I couldn't stop shivering. But once that passed it was more just soreness and tightness instead of pain, all mostly just in my butt. I got my abdomen, flanks and lower back lipo-suctioned. My current pain level is around 1 while laying down, and 3 while standing/walking. I've taken only 2 pain pills within the past 4 hours so I'm happily surprised with such little pain. Can't wait for the draining to stop! Pictures are up, and I want to say I never thought the area around my ribs could be so small! Sooooo happy with that outcome!
Day Three
Ok so yesterday, day two, was more painful then the fist day. With getting up and walking to the bathroom and the garment, my body just felt really tight. I take 1 pain pill every 4-7 hours and they do help as well as make me sleepy, so i've been sleeping away the hours. Taking my shower yesterday and today wasn't bad, my only problem was I tend to get really light headed after standing up for 10 minutes or longer. But a cup of water and getting on my knees helped with that. The draining stopped after the first day, and I'm even starting to see some swelling go down! Most of my pain just comes from standing up after laying down, but I'm able to bend and move better today. Excited to see what day four brings! I have my post-op visit this Tuesday.
The staff at the office is great too, let me not forget to mention that! All very helpful and made me feel extremely comfortable and at ease. From my first consultation to leaving after surgery!
