7/14/17 - Well, I finally decided to start a post to chronicle my experience. I've read so many reviews on here because I want to get myself mentally prepared for my own procedure. I am having my upper and lower abs, flanks, and hips done. By no means do I feel grossly overweight or anything, but I workout 3 times a week (intense) and these areas just won't budge. I guess I'm just looking to see more of a hour glass shape and flat stomach. I've raised my two oldest children (36 and 32), and now I'm raising my 8 year old (yes, I started over). Even though I still have my 8 year old to raise, I feel it's my time to focus on things I want to do for myself. My husband doesn't feel I need any work done, but he's very understanding that I'm doing this for ME and not to impress him. Anyway, that's my background. I will post before pics this weekend.

This is how I look right now. Puffy upper stomach, saggy lower abs, and bat wing arms. I workout 3 times a week at an intense boot camp and these areas won't budge.

One of my before arm pics didn't upload. I don't know why. Also, I left out in my initial post that I'm also having my arms done. It is now 13 days away from my procedure, and I'm seriously nervous. I such a low tolerance for pain. I get quizzy looking at the pics of everyone's reviews here on the site. But, I've been forcing myself to look at the pics, read everyone's experiences, to help me concur my fears.

I finally opened the antibiotics my doctor prescribed for me, and they smell horrible! They smell like rotten eggs.

So far I have the following supplies based on reading reviews:
1. Arnica Gel and pills
2. maxi pads for drainage
3. Bromelain pills
4. floor/bed pads
5. compression garment
6. Ab board
7. scheduled lymphatic massages

Just a suggestion for your bed. What I used were the biggest puppy pads I could find. I researched them online an they are perfectly fine. No chemicals to be concerned about. (Of course you should research yourself). People use them in cribs, changing tables etc... it sure was nice to be able to just pull them off and throw them away vs. having to wash anything!!! It made things SO much easier. I had no idea what to expect as far as the incisions draining.... it was more than I was expecting!!! And I only had my arms done!!! Good luck!!! I am glad I decided to do my arms. I am having my upper/lower abs and flanks done 8/16. I'm really excited!!!

Thank you for your suggestion. I did end up getting the big bed pads off of Amazon. They come 10 in a pack. I got two packs. I'm really excited and scared at the same time, but I also have been envisioning my results.
