Do not feel ashamed to post your before pictures. You've already been working on yourself and have had success. Be proud of what you have already accomplished, and know that you need those before pictures to remind yourself where you are coming from post-surgery. Is your lipo going to be fairly aggressive? And do you know whether you'll be awake during the procedure (usual)? It's so soon already!!! A week from tomorrow!

My children will be leaving next week to spend summer vaca with the grandparents so I scheduled it this early so by time they are back I'll be close to normal by time they get back. summer vaca. My husband is little skeptical about me being awake for so many procedure as we'll but I rather get the all done in one setting. Dr. Nangrani assured me that it should be fine. Thank for the words of encouragement...I'm so happy for this site because you ladies are just so supportive to each other. By the way I checked you profile out....your body is jus fab....you go hot mommy:-)

Im also worried about laying there on the table for so long. My back kills me if I sit still too long or lay on my back too long so I am sure I will be so stiff afterwards. What size do you wear? I think we are pretty close in size so hopefully we will get the same results except I couldnt afford to have any other areas done besides abdomen and flank. I wish I could have done my thighs too. Maybe we can help each other out and work out together. Where in spring do you live?

I'm worried about the time too my girlfriend who had it done told me she started feeling pain after a while during the procedure...I hope that don't happen to me. I work out at home ( when I feel like it which is not good cause recently I never feel like it) I live near cypresswood road. I'm down for a workout partner.

I live off of cypresswood and aldine westfield so it sounds like we are close. Have you tried the Zumba class that is in the shell station strip plaza? It is awesome and lots of fun.

I was under the impression that they'd have you standing or seated for some of the procedure. Am I totally wrong here (entirely possible)?

Don't worry about it you gonna be just fine. I was feeling the same as you and I the end I was like u know what I paid all this money I won't stop it for nothing in the world either it comes out big or flat. And I did just waiting to see if my ass is going to shape up to look like an ass. I'll keep u in my prayers

You will do fine. But, I truly hope you chose general anesthesia. You're having a lot of areas worked on....you will be out during the procedure, will not feel a thing & it will cut down on nervousness. It is so worth the extra money. Be prepared to be extremely sore & uncomfortable after your procedure....not throbbing pain but soreness like extremely bad bruises. Also, be ready to be very very patient. You will look great at first but then the swelling will set in....and it will come & go for months....possibly a year....everyone is different but just don't panic & get discouraged. Wear your compression garment as instructed....it is very important. If you've never had experience with cosmetic procedures you don't know what to expect & even the best cosmetic surgeons sometimes fail to make it clear....they have a "mind over matter" attitude. Meaning, if you're not expecting it to be painful it won't....not true!! I have had many cosmetic procedures throughout the years & a lot of experience.Good luck, thank you for posting before pics & I look forward to seeing your afters!!!

I find myself wondering if I'm doing the right things sometimes. Also I get panicky at times worried if ill see or be satisfied with my results . No general anesthesia, will be awake. Dr. Nangrani indicated I will feel a little pressure which is common. Thanks for the input and encouragement. Can't wait to see my "AFTER" pics too;-)

June 8, 2014

Thanks so much for your advice and encouragements. I keep rereading your comment. Thanks again. I love this website..The women on here are so supportive.

FlabawayJune 8, 2014

Trying to keep calm but I'm so nervous as the day get closer. I have this fear that what if I'm paying all this money and it won't work or better yep make everything worst. Too late to turn back now...already paid for everything.....I've added some more pics

For the neck I'll be seated. Not sure and it didn't occur for me to ask about the legs and knees. Dr. Nangrani stated at the day of ill get a play by play by from her and her team during the procedure...I'll let you know after how everything was done ;-)

June 8, 2014

I was going to schedule for the 13th also and realized it was friday the 13th so I changed to the 18th. I didn't realize you were doing your neck area also. How many total areas are you having done? I cant wait to see your after pics.

June 8, 2014

I'm having my flanks, lower ab, upper ab, back (under bra, love handles), inner thighs and a little off my knees and little from under my butt. I was kinda freaked out bout the 13th too lol but I'm not superstitious so I'm getting it done. My girlfriend used her and her results are great so I'm hopeful I'll be just as happy. What are you having done?

It's normal, unfortunately :(. Some people actually resort to prescription medication in order to help. I didn't do that because I'm terrified of addictive medications, and stuff like valium is extremely addictive, but the truth remains that looooooots of people cannot eat or sleep before the procedure. But the odds that you need to be this nervous are slim. You may feel a little better after a couple of days of getting used to the strain--that happened to me so I actually slept a little better the night before the procedure. Maybe it was exhaustion ;).

If you are not terrified of medication, you may wish to talk to your doctor and see what they recommend, but this will all soon be behind you. :)

June 10, 2014

She gave me an Rx for Valium...I plan on taking it.....my nerves are just getting the best of me...thanks for responding...I'm driving my poor husband crazy he said he wasn't nervousness until now with all my jitters....and doubts....I'll try to sleep tonight....

June 10, 2014

You will do great. Dont be nervous. Just keep thinking about how hot you will be afterwards. That is what is keeping me sane, focused on the goal. The rest is all gravy. ;)
