Day 1 of Andrew’s Lipo-selection

Here we are in Singapore, Andrew walking up and down the house exercising hoping that it will speed up the recovery process.

We left KL about 6.45am, and he was in a super duper bad mood in the morning. So hot tempered and yelling at me when I said I left my handbag at home. Showed his ‘face’ again when he found out I didn’t make his breakfast for him. Somehow it completely didn’t cross my mind that he was going for an operation that afternoon itself… I just remembered that he loves durian, dad happens to have durian cake at home, dad asked if I wanted to bring some for Andrew. It didn’t cross my mind that durian is heaty and he shouldn’t be eating such food before his operation.

His moodiness and snappishness lasted the whole morning…..

We touched down in Spore about 10am+. Went straight to Tina’s house, parked the car there and took a taxi to Toa Pa Yoh, the clinic there. There were other people there for the Lipo-selection, at 12+ Andrew went for the checkup to test his BP.. he failed! His BP too high so he is unable to do the operation yet. Tina gave him some pills, and he rested while the other went first for the Lipo. Andrew only went in for his Lipo about 4+pm and he only finished about 8pm. I used the time to go walking and roaming the whole Hub in that area.

A little background of his Lipo surgery... He is going for this new technique call Lipo Selection (Different from the traditional Lipo Suction).

What they do first is, numb the whole area of the stomach with anesthetic first, then punch 3 holes on the stomach and fill the stomach with water. After that, they will insert the tube of the machine into the hole. This machine uses sound wave to break the fats in the stomach. The fats will mix around with the water and that's when another tube goes into the stomach to suck the fats mix water out of the stomach. Basicly that's about it. After the surgery, they will sew the wound up, and wear a garment over the stomach (like a corset).

As they have put in alot water into the stomach, Andrew looks bloated. It will take about 3 months for the water to drain itself out from the stomach, and about 6 months to really see the effect of this Lipo suction. He needs to take care of his diet and exercise in order to see the effect and maintain his body. It's more of shaping the body, rather then losing fat's for good.

The area around the clinic, is like Petaling Street area kind of place.. they have many stalls all selling different things, some going for really really cheap. I even bought a jacket for vivien at 5Sing.

I realy wonder how I did it.. but I actually stayed on the streets for so many hours idling around. I’ve never done such thing back in KL before. At 1 point of time , towards evening time, I was dead tired.. That I just went to sit on the bench there and look at people passing by me. It was fun too… like I’m a tourist in a foreign land exploring the area alone.

By the time Tina they all cleaned up the clinic and went for dinner, it was already 8pm+. Just went for dinner at the foodcourt nearby the clinic, then headed back home to bath and rest.

That was when Tina called and reminded Andrew not to sit still.. he has to move around to exercise… and that’s how it all started. This Andrew started walking up and down annoying me..see his backside moving up and down the living room.

Now he’s tired and has resorted to just lie on the sofa behind me… signal from God to tell me to stop blogging and start studying…

Goodnight
