I am scheduled for lipo on may 1. I am going to dr. araya in dc. Of course I'm nervous but so excited. I'm getting my lower abs, love handles, sides and flanks done. I will post my before pics tomorrow. I got up to 250 when preggo with the twins and now that Iam out of the baby stages I'm ready to focus on me. I don't want anymore children and my hubby and are ready to move forward and enjoy life at this stage. I have one life to live and I want to look great doing it. Only bummer is that I'll be sore and dover for the Mayweather fight..lol...3 more days!!!

Why not a tummy tuck and lipo...it would cost around the same ? Or a little more

Soo...I'm getting nervous! I keep thinking of all the negatives but then I imagine how great I will feel and stick with that. I decided to post pics even tho I'm extremely embarrassed that it's gotten this bad. Just fat and rolls everywhere. I'm so sad about that but I'm dedI cates to changing my lifestyle and working out to maintain. I still have a lot of arm and thigh fat so I have much work ahead of me.
I am sending my questions and payment information over tomorrOw. I can't wait. Wish I had more support from my mother she just doesn't believe in weightless assitance. anywho my hubby will be there. I will check in tomorrow

So yesterday was the big day and I'm glad it's Over. I was very nervous and almost backed out but I knew I would regret it if I did. I got there at 530 in the morning, completed paper work and headed back. I will admit the office is not luxury and is a bit outdated which makes you feel insecure at moments, but the doc does good work and they'll also have an in house financing program which is sweet. I headed back to the room and we got started. I received tumescent lipo and I'm gonna tell the truth. It hurts like hell! The numbing solution burns but on for a few seconds, but keep in mind I had my flanks, sides, lower abs and love handles done. Omg when he works around the ribs and public ares I could have died. The extraction of the fat wasn't that bad but I had so much fat. I belive he had 12-15 bottles worth of the tall tubs. A lot of years of stress and earl ten inscurutirs all went down the drain. I was a bit groggy afterward and that's notmal. I will say the first day is messy..blood and solution eveywhere. My hubby took such good care of me, I didn't have to do anything.
Now, apparently my body did not dispell all of the solution so I have a pretty big pouch over my goodies aND sidea. It's very pain and I'm hoping that he will drain them for me ASAP. My shape is coming along..hubby calls me nicki minaj which I don't want to look like but it's becasue I have on the absorbet pads and a lot of fluid is still on my body.
Ladies please rest your first day. I laid on my stomach all day and when I would stand up felt like I would faint. So I've been drinking as much Gatorade and water as possible. The soreness sucks, no loe but that's expected. Once I get my sides and pouch drained I'll feel happy about things. So far glad I did it, now I'm anxious to get drained and see my reults.

Get plenty of rest. After my surgery i didn't have no side effects to any of the medicine. I do have a pouch that hangs a bit from my stomach being large for so many years. So now it's a waiting game for it to move back into place. Good luck on your recovery

Yikes that's whay I was worried about. I don't want the hanging skin but my stomach I'm sure is super loose from the twins and fatness in general. If that's the case I may get the skin clipped, if possible, totally defeats the purpose. I'm getting plenty of rest and almost feel ready for work tomorrow, almost

So you were awake the entire time? How long did it take?

Hang in there! I hope you drain soon. We'd love to see some pics so everyone can really see what it is like post-op.
Good luck! Will you post some before pics while you wait?
