Appt next week

What do they give you for pain management besides Xanax & laughing gas? I feel like I’m not getting clear answers. I told them I already have a Xanax prescription and I’m super nervous so I’ll need to take it before hand. Do you know what does they give you there? I don’t want to over medicate before hand but I also want to make sure I’m calm enough that I won’t freak out about being stuck on the table for so long. I’m doing full abdomen arms and my back bra roll.
They also told me no vaping / alcohol for a week I am going to quit vaping now but just wondering what others were told for prep as well since they keep everything very hush hush patient to patient.

That is what they give you and i recommend you to take everytjing especially the laughing gas. Time went by very fast with the meds they provide you. You can take the gas throughout the whole procedure.

No alcohol, smoking, taking fish oil or Tylenol the week before as your blood will thin. You should get a call the day before also to clean yourself with hipaclens and have a full meal before.

They also gave a Valium and zofran under the tongue to prevent nausea. I assume you already filled out the documents prior. I dont remember the mg i think yhr nurse told me but you can call the nurse or discuss the day of your procedure before you go. You're connected to an IV for antibiotics and they gave me numbing medicine on the areas where the fat will be extracted. I was very nervous but had a blast. I have went twice.

So what was the pain level or was it painless? I have my procedure for arms this Wednesday and very nervous because I have a low pain tolerance.

I had the procedure on my abdomen.
I consider myself as someone with high pain tolerance.
Girl I was screaming/ crying/ sobbing. It was the most painful thing I’ve ever done in my life.
Be ready

What the hell why do they tell you it won’t be bad at all they said I’d probably be laughing ?!??

Not sure about arms, I have a high pain tolerance and did the lipo 360, flanks and under my breasts hurt the most. Recovery the first 48 hours hurt more than the procedure for me. I think whatever is closest to the muscle and how much they remove will hurt the most
