I'm a mother that works out 3-4 times a week. I eat healthy but I can't get rid if my belly. I was scared of lipo because I didn't want extra skin left behind. After reading over 500 reviews on this site and other I picked a doctor. I wanted something with very little down time. I also stared a low sodium diet to help keep the swelling down b4 and after the surgery.

The staff was AMAZING.... I was driving down from Pittsburgh because I heard Dr Segev was awesome and he was. The nurse katherna I think her name was, helped so much and made me feel se comfortable. The process wasn't that painful. If you can handle a tattoo the you'll be fine. After I returned home I was ok until I had to change my pad and I felt pain then. But even swollen I'm already happy with the results

So today I went back to work. Which was fine except the garment is so itchy. I walked around every hour the 1st 2 days to keep my blood flowing. My body feels sore like a did a million sit up but it all pain I can deal with. So Aslong as you keep yourself hydrated the swelling isn't too bad

Wow I can see a difference already in your after pics.  That compression garment sounds miserable, but at least it is temporary.  Are you happy with what you see so far?

I'm 100% happy....the garment is so annoying and it helps to have someone help u get it up and down but it'll all be worth it in the long run. If u have a problem area that just won't go away I totally recommend doing it but just research drs 1st bcuz I didn't see the same result from all the doctors

U look great!!! My gartment case is worse i have to wear a yoga mat underneath so i dont get any marks which can become permanent. I hate it with a passion i can not wait to be garment free. Good luck girl u look good!

I'm still really swollen but I can tell the difference. The only pain I have is when I sit up my abs feel like I did 1000 sit ups but no real pain. I worked Saturday night as a waitress with no problems

Looking Good!!! Im very swollen 2 but mine is not as flat as urs yet but i hope i get there soon. Do u wear ur gartment 24/7 and do u put any foam or mat underneath ?
April 22, 2014
I wear it every day and they gave my this other belly band thing to wear at night over top of the garment. I didn't try to foam mat bcuz the garment doesn't bother too much. I think it depends on the brand garment they use
