MOM: I told you that thing can be psychological.
What you mean, "Psychological?"
MOM: It's like people with anorexia
keep thinking they're fat.
You'll keep saying, "Twirk this, tweak that,
need some more done and you'll be fine,"
So, you need a little psychological help.
Well, I had to get the first one
because I had too much excess skin.
I don't feel like that's me.
I feel like that's things she's seen
in the media and stuff like that.
But, because no one around her has ever, like,
really gotten plastic surgery,
she doesn't really know firsthand.
So, I don't really listen to that.
MOM: Okay, I'm inside the lab. I gotta go.
-A'right. -MOM: Everything
-will be all right. -A'right.
MOM: Okay, bye.
I think is important for my mom to be here
because I feel like if your child is going into surgery
or something is going on, as a parent, you know,
you show up and you be there 'cause you don't know
if I don't come out of there. And before we go back
into the operating room, I know that my mom and I
definitely will pray with one another.
So, that's something I feel like
I definitely will need the day of and I'm thankful that,
you know, she's there to do that.

-MOM: Hello. -How did you miss your flight?
MOM: There was heavy traffic.
-It was that bad? -MOM: Yes.
I am heading to my surgery.
I'm alone for the time being.
My mom missed her flight
and I had to take Quan back to the airport.
It has me pretty angry.
MOM: I'mma pray and you gon' be all right.
-I love you. -All right.
-All right, bye. -Bye.
Bunch of bull--
NURSE: Welcome back. It's your big day, are you excited?
We're gonna need you to change.
DEV'YON: All right.
Let's see if Quan is available.
-Quan. -QUAN: What's up, man?
You know I ended up by myself?
QUAN: Oh. [indistinct] I was hoping not.
-You okay? -Yeah.
So, I'll call you, I guess, when we finish up.
QUAN: All right. Safe procedure!
DEV'YON: 'Preciate it is.
It is show time!
DEV'YON: It makes me upset that I'm here alone
and I have to do a lot of things alone.
But if I don't do things myself, it doesn't get done.
NURSE 2: You're gonna be asleep in about three, two...
one...
I'm back home in Atlanta, recovering,
I don't have any pain.
The fluid is still coming off of my chest
and I'm just...
hopeful
for what's to come.
How you doing?
I'm doing good, how about you?
I'm good. You look really nice, so...
DEV'YON: Thank you.
You had reconstructive surgery
and once you took off all the bandages,
like, were you relieved?
I was, like, "Oh, my God, this looks so good."
It's, like, my scars went from being, like,
this thick to now, like, they're just so small.
And my pecs are not collecting any fluid.
K. MICHELLE: You don't have to drain it--
I don't have to drain anything.
-I'm good. -Good.
And then, hopefully in the next six months
when I finish the gym, I'll be able to walk around
with a shirt off and there'll be no issues.
-[laughs] -So, you don't have any fluid,
your scars are minimal,
and you look very confident.
It's a totally different feeling, like,
to be almost back to where I was.
I'm working out, my mind is functioning better,
I'm not in pain anymore. Like, trying to figure out
if I'm going to be okay to do stuff today.
It's great. I'm feeling like I can take on the world right now.
You feel good.
That's what matters the most.
-Right. -I am so happy
that you can live your life confidently.
And as a Rebel, I will see you
on the road in a couple months.
-All right. I can't wait! -[laughs]
-All right. Bye, handsome. -DEV'YON: Buh-bye.
