Well, I have been contemplating this for about 6...

Well, I have been contemplating this for about 6 months. Up until I turned 30 last year, I was 120lbs. I wanted to gain weight. Well, when I gained weight, I gained it in my thighs and worst of all my abdomen! I kinda liked the thick thighs but the stomach was a mess. I found myself at 150lbs with a flabby stomach.

I went on a couple of consultations and I decided on my particular doctor because he was thorough and had the best credentials! The surgery itself wasn't too bad afterwards. I was mobile. Just felt like I worked out extra hard. I drained a little but that was expected. I really didn't need the pain medication! I decided on the traditional liposuction because I did not want to be awake. That thought scared me!

Today is Monday, August 31, 2009! I had the procedure done four days ago on August days ago on the 27th. I went back to work today with no problems. I posted before pics and day four pics! Today was the first day I could take a shower and I went for my follow-up pics!

I'll keep you posted! Good luck!

Great review?

Hi. I just had lipo on (9/4/09) my love handles, back, inner and outer thighs, and knees. I've been looking for recent post-op pics and came across yours. Thank you for posting them. You're looking GREAT! I can't see much of a difference in my surgery yet, but I know it takes time. I'm only 7 days post-op. Thanks, JJ
