Worth It
Spent: $2,100 in Brentwood, TN

Well, as a happy 37th birthday to myself I scheduled my Vaser Lipo two weeks ago.

Today is the big day. I've been taking Vitamin K all week and started antibiotics yesterday. I was prescribed Lorezapam (sp) for pre-op anxiety but I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas so haven't had eaten any of those until just now. I go in at 2:00 which is in two hours, so I thought this would be a good time to post my "before" pictures (as if there is a good time to document this sort of thing LOL). Well, it wouldn't let me post until I could tell about the actual surgery, so here I am about 48 hours later.

Please don't read this account unless you plan to read the entire thing because I'm going to be brutally honest and there are parts of this that were unpleasant...well, awful. That being said, I can hardly wait to go back next month and have my outer thighs done.

My Doctor:

Intelligent answers to all my questions; took all the time I needed; felt like I was the most important patient they ever had. Only complaint was lack of options for pain - apparently some people are so affected they almost sleep through the whole thing but I was fully awake and aware and sometimes in alot of pain.

Hi Hope it all went well. How are you feeling? What did you take the vitamin k for? Thanks

Something to do with blood clotting and to help reduce post-op bruising I think. I feel like...sore...but every day is better. And when you put on shirts that highlighted your rolls and you had to wear a sweater to camoflauge them before and now it hangs straight you feel GREAT. And supposedly it only gets better as the swelling goes down over time. I'll never be a size 4 and the procedure itself was not comfortable to say the least but I'm getting my outer thighs done in a week or two and I'll post my 'after' tummy pics soon. For the money, well worth it. : )

You look great, I'm in Florida and will have my upper and lower abs done the 2nd week in October. I'm paying $4500, wish I'd read this sooner. Have you seen your final results?

Wow, girl! You look dang amazing! Congrats! I had the whole shabang done surgically 2.5 months ago and i havent dropped not one dress size...i just noticed that my clothes fit a bit better. However, it took me 2 months to get back into my (size 4-6). After the TT/FBL surgery - I had to buy big girl (sizes 8-10) - diff not what i expected! i'm very happy for you!

You are looking great!! You must be feeling so good. The plan is to get mine done in a few months but not sure if i can take the pain. My calves are troubling me. Are you in pain now?
O2BME (23 posts) 11 Sep 2009
My clothes are definitely fitting better. I am putting stuff in a Goodwill bag daily as I try it on and find it hanging. And, I'm still a bit swollen so I expect it will be slightly better over the next month or two. Of course, I would be thrilled to get into what you call "big girl" clothes. I am down to a 12 from a 14-16...

You can take it. Have you ever had a kid? I have a couple of small spots that are still 'achy' but today is my 2-week date and I played tennis last Wednesday just fine.

I know this is a old posting but, incase you still get the messages. Your results looked great on day 1 I liked it so much I emailed the doctor. Are you still happy with the results?
O2BME (23 posts) 11 Jan 2011
I am. The one thing to remember though is that, like with all lipo, if you gain a bunch of weight afterwards it will not go to the place you had done, but will go somewhere else. For example, my lower abs were always the problem area, my upper abs were fine. After having my lower abs done, if I pig out (um, holidays) I will gain weight in my upper abs now - not hideously or anything, but it does have to go somewhere. I'm just glad its there and not my neck or something LOL. Dr. Bill is great - please tell him Susanna referred you. Let me know how it goes for you!

Thanks for the reply and thats good to know. It seems no matter how much cardio, p90x or anything I do some areas just are very....... stubborn. I am waiting to hear from your doctors office now. One thing I find odd though every Vaser video I look at the people are awake and not in pain. If I remember from reading everything you posted you said it was painful. Was your second one painful as well? I wonder if it might be they made improvements since you had it done. At any rate thank you for taking the time to respond.

I did not find it painless. However, I am a big pansy and barfed up alot the meds also. It wasn't bad except when they accidentally bumped an area that was out of the numbed area then that hurt. I had a Valium and put on some headphones and put a blanket over my head so I could zone out as much as possible. I'll put it this way, if it had been that bad or not worth it I wouldn't have gone back for another procedure.

are you saying that your cost was ONLY 2K Plz respond and BTW you do look amazing. Your Doctor did a great job!!!
O2BME (23 posts) 1 Nov 2009
It was $2100 for the stomach, including the areas above and below the belly button and between the bottom of the rib cage and the top of my hips on both sides (flanks). I then paid another $1200 to have my outer thighs done. They turned out fantastic - much less cellulite also and the 'line' where my bottom meets the top of my thighs is much better defined.

To remove the fat from your whole stomach the cost was only 21,00? Thanx Phenom

Hope, You look great, I am scheduled to have my inner thighs done on January 22nd. I'm a little nervous about the pain part, however I'm willing to go through it to get the results I see from your pics. I am going to the same doctor as you, any post surgery advice?
O2BME (23 posts) 21 Jan 2010
Put towels on the bed for the 1st 24 hours because there will be drainage. Do not freak out because at first it will look awesome but then it will swell and look bigger for a few weeks, but it will go back down later. ALWAYS wear your compression garmet! Good luck & tell Dr. Bill that Susanna said "hi"!

for $2,000, what areas specifically did you get treated?
O2BME (23 posts) 17 Mar 2010
I did it in two separate 'procedures'. The first did my abs (upper & lower) and the 'love handles'. The second did my outer thighs.

I'm totally confused - is this supposed to be the same person in the before/after pictures? Looks very suspicious to me. In one before picture there is a tatoo on the back, then on the after it is not there. Completely different skin tone as well. Pretty fishy if you ask me.
O2BME (23 posts) 28 Feb 2011
Since it's my back I am fairly certain I don't have a tatoo on it in either the before or the after picture. And since I am not gaining anything by posting photos of my half-naked body and fat rolls there really isn't any cause to be 'fishy'. But thank you so much for policing the site for us...although I'm also certain nobody did ask you.

That is npt a tattoo, it is a top, look at the two pics. the back and the side view there is the blue coloring that you see...
