Mind Over... Vaser! - Tampa, FL

Hello! I'm new to the board and first, want to...
$4,900
Hello! I'm new to the board and first, want to thank everyone that has posted your reviews and feedback. Because of you - I will have Vaser Lipo done in 11 days... September 6! I am more excited than I am nervous; nervous because of the unknown and anticipation of actually having it done. I meet the Doctor tomorrow (Tuesday) and am very excited about that!
I'm having my upper and lower abs, love handles, and side flanks done. My goal is to have more defined, natural looking Latina curves without the muffin top or serious love handles.
Right now, my biggest concerns are not being able to get the compression garment back on after I remove it and would using full size pads (Always Infinity?) instead of cutting pads into smaller squares to cover the incisions be better in terms of leakage? Random, yes... but if you have any advice, comments, or suggestions on these topics I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks!

Three More Days!
If you've ever had children, you might relate to how I'm feeling! I've literally cleaned my entire house from top to bottom! I've washed everything imaginable, dusted, washed baseboards, the refrigerator inside and out, laundry, bed linens... you name it! I really think I'm nesting for the big V-day! I think this energy is from all the excitement I have. Really, Vaser is all I can think, eat, or breath lately!
I started taking the Arnica tablets today and picked up my meds over the weekend. I spent the weekend with a girlfriend who had a few revisions on her abs and also got her back/bra done. Having experienced caring for her, I think I'm better prepared mentally now. I also answered my questions from earlier! Definitely a full pad over the incision for the first night and using a little dab of baby powder rubbed directly on the skin where it grabs before reapplying the compression garment is a huge, huge help! I hope it's as easy for me.
I'm uploading my before pics and will post an update soon! Wish me luck!!

Put the sterile gauze on first( i double up/ fold it in half) , then cut the pad in half and put it on top and make sure the tape is on real good on every side. Use a heavy flow pad, but i dont think you want the entire long pad for comfort reasons.You will have to change the dressing when the middle gets saturated anyway. In my opinion, when i realized that , it made it a bit easier to put on the stage 1 garment after dressings. Good luck!

Three Days and... Strep Throat?
I have the ability to see the silver lining in almost any dark cloud. My body is in total preparation mode by fighting off - with the help of a strong antibiotic - a bout of horrid Strep Throat! Thanks to lots of loving and cuddling with my sick little guy, I got it too! I went to the Immediate Care Clinic today and was prescribed 875 mg of Amoxicillin which will knock that strep throat right out!
After talking with my nurse, we got two thumbs up from Dr. Solomon! The antibiotics will not interfere with my procedure and... I will be fine in time for surgery; I'll just continue taking the antibiotics after my procedure is over.
Has anything like this ever happened to you?

The antibiotic they gave me for VASER actually cleared what seemed to be Strep coming on. I'm surprised the doctor would allow you to have the procedure with strep tho.
I got the garment that just goes around my midsection... which I originally preferred (although not given an option) since I knew it'd be hard getting in/out the full 1... not to mention more hot and uncomfortable; however, I feel like a full garment would've shaped me better. Good luck!! Post pics as Soon as you can:-)

Hi there! Since I will have three and a half days of antibiotics in my system, I will be fine. I trust Dr. Solomon with every ounce of my being and am confident he wouldn't jeopardize my health for his reputation & career. The garments I bough are very similar to a bathing suit with straps over the shoulder for added support. Why weren't you given an option? I am also going to purchase a few Jennifer Lopez body shapers (hers are super sexy, super comfy, and is just tight enough) for a stage 2 garment. How long did you wear your garment for if you don't mind me asking? Thanks for the great luck wishes!!

The doctor put their garment on me after the procedure, so they made the decision and decided on size. It's only been a week So I am still wearing it. How did it go?!?

Oh, today's the 5th, not 6th:-) I lost track of days when I had VASER, LOL!!!

Hey MoNey B! I'm glad I had it done, but I'm also glad it's over. The waiting nearly melted the fat off for me! How are you doing? I'm having garment issues - bought one, but it's not enough umph and the other one the center gave me is binding into my sides and lower back. I think it may be too small. My nurse is on it and calling the manufacturer for me! How are you doing??

Hello MuffinLESS! I had it done! WOAH.... I'm glad it's over let's just say. The updates I made were only a glimpse into how I really feel. Yesterday was the pits. I got my first massage (only on day 3?) and was sore and more swollen, which I guess is normal. I can't wait to see your updated pics! How are you feeling?
