“Having Second Thoughts About Sono...”

I had my consultation with Sono Bello in Atlanta about two weeks ago with Vanessa. She was really nice. I told her that I am interested in Smart Lipo of my upper/lower abs and flanks.

“So Far So Good and SO WORTH IT!...”

I decided to do smart lipo as a last resort. I gained 30 pounds in one year after beginning anti-depressants for panic disorder around 2005. I was normally a very slim size 2/4.

I much preferred being happy and feeling panic free!... more
