I had my consultation May 2019. It was pretty quick, I did a lot of research before and didn’t have too many questions. I’m going to have tummy tuck, muscle tightening, lipo of flanks and mid back. I have my preop in a month, will post before pics then.

Today I was called and told my preop date will be moved due to the thanksgiving holiday. It’s now scheduled 3 days prior to my surgery which is scary due to the COVID test, but I’m sure it will go smoothly.
Here are some more pictures of the problem.

I'm feeling a bit nervous about COVID impacting my surgery and the pain!

Understandable! I am thinking of you for sure. If it is any consolation, my worse pain was immediately following surgery (in recovery when I first woke up), but the nurses knocked that out within minutes with IV meds. Full disclosure, I also had unbearable nausea, so you can ask your PS ahead of time for a prescription to stave that off. I had Emend (Aprepitant), but I know some surgeons use the Scopolamine patch. I was nauseous in recovery, but as soon as I told the Nurses about that, they took care of that through my IV (just before they gave my pain meds). I only took 1 of my narcotic pills the night of surgery. The narcos made me feel really nauseous (even though I ate with that medicine). So, I decided to stop taking those and I was able to manage with just Tylenol and Naproxen for the rest of recovery. I say all that to say that I did not have unbearable pain, and I hope you will not either. My surgeon also does not "overtighten", so tightness was minimal. For me, swelling and gas was the most uncomfortable sensation. My best advice is to move around as often as you can following Surgery, and start taking your stool softeners and laxatives a couple of days ahead of surgery. That helped me tremendously. Please keep us updated, and feel free to direct message me with any questions!

A combination of things I believe I will need post surgery. Took some suggestions from people I follow on her and a friend who got her body done in Tijuana. She also recommended arnica tea and pineapple tea (not photographed). Had my lab work done today, waiting for my recliner to be delivered and my mother to come to town. Trying to get back on track with my eating and cut the alcohol as there has been many celebrations in my family lately

Good luck on your procedure. I am sure it's scary right now but everything will be okay. Follow doctors orders and get plenty of rest and take it slow. Sure your results will be Awesome!!!!
