I will be getting lipo on my tummy , back and arms. Feeling nervous and anxious about my procedure:/ recently started feeling this way after reading a few old/negative reviews. Only 3 days away.

I will be staying over night and coming home on Friday morning.

The staff has been super nice and helpful by replying to my emails within 24 hours.

Use an ABD board and Lipo foam it really helped. I've learned so much from round 1 going in knowing that my round 2 will be AMAZING!!!!!

Did you wear your ABD board under your foam? I bought one but not sure how to apply it.

Hi girls.!!

So far so good with my Recovery.

I arrived to Tijuana around 8:30am
Had my lab work done around 8:45 and my EKG around 9:20am. I met with Dr.P at 10:15am and said my surgery would start around 11:30am. Before I met with the anesthesiologist, I got an amazing massage for Juanita. They staff was been extremely nice, including Dr. P!

I believe the surgery was about 3hours. He didn't pressure me into injecting my butt because I said no since the beginning.
I woke up around 3pm and have had no pain or nausea since then :) I'm hungry but I will wait to eat until tomorrow.

I will definitely post post-op pictures tomorrow.

You were already thin. Im sure you will love it. Why no fat transfer?

Thank you! I have a 2 hour commute to work and was only able to take 1 week off work.

I'll get the injections when I have more time off. I didn't wanna ruin my results by sitting on them for so long.

Came home on Friday morning.

I got lipo on my back, arms, and tummy. No but injections.

Not much pain just really uncomfortable.

Today I showered for the 1st time and was REALLY dizzy. I'm not leaking as much today.

I'm really swollen and I'm hoping this changes within the next coupe of weeks.
