Immediate Laser Lipo Results Disappearing by the Day - What Can I Do?

Received lipo 4/2/10. Immediate results seemed fantastic. Bruising and swelling was minimum for having done flanks, sides, upper and lower abs and the change in shape/size was great. Now the third week and my body is changing back to its old shape/size. Stomach has losened and lower abs are again protruding to show off excess fat. Sides still show improvement, but this area is still sore. Is there anything I can do to stop my body from turning back into how it was before?? 1500 ccs were removed with no change in size. I am 5'9" 140 lbs. 32yo Thanks!!
