TOPIC: Suggestions for first trip to Avanti?

Just curious if you guys who have done this have any recommendations on what to bring with me, or what to do while there. I'm scheduled for next Wednesday.

Damn I'm wondering my self. I'm schedule for the second.

Loose fitting, dark colored pants or shorts. I made the mistake of wearing light blue shorts, which quickly developed a very noticeable blood stain. Honestly you're probably going to spend all your spare time at the hotel, whether in your room, at the bar, or at the casino. They do a lot of follow up appointments, so you won't have time to really go anywhere.

I second what Toughpill and Jacknimble are saying here. Bring a few pairs of sweatpants or loose fitting shorts and get ready to do a lot of haning out in a hotel room. I never really felt up to doing much sightseeing or anything like that right after a procedure ... plus you're massaging every hour or so anyway, so there's not much you really can do anyway. Just hang out, watch TV, and eat well.

Luckily the room service food is pretty good.

ah that's great advice! I am planning on bringing my own extender as I have a good one that I am comfortable using. I have been looking around and I can't seem to find this information again but is it recommended to use a vacuum pump post procedure? Sounds like a bad idea but for some reason I feel like I had read that somewhere at some point...

Avanti will send you aftercare instructions via email the day before your procedure. I believe they recommend light pumping around ten days out from the procedure, but consult the email for their currrent recommendations.

Personally, I don't really pump too much during the healing process. I tried it and didn't really feel comfortable with it ... but make your own decision here.
