After Years of Debating....

I've decided to pursue my ideal body image by going through with liposuction of the abdomen,back and arms. I love my size (size 16/18) and overall shape, but my stomach and back are just too rolly. They make me look awful in certain clothes and I want to live and be able to wear cute, trendy outfits because I'm a young fashionista! Im only 29 and would like my body to match my diva personality and attire!

As for my arms, well let's just say they are irregular! My left arm is bigger than the right one and this makes it really difficult for me to find shirts and jackets/blazers that fit my arms! I started eating right over a year ago...I exercise 4 days a week but I'm just not seeing improvement in my problem areas. So hopefully this surgery gives me the boost and continued motivation that I'm looking for....

I've been talking about this procedure and researching for at least 3 years! I chickened out last year after looking at photos of bruised va-jay-jays, but after reading several stories on Realself I've concluded the looks are worse than the pain. So wish me luck and send up some prayers! My surgery is scheduled for April 19th!!!!!

Okay, I'm done with my preop labwork and I'm paid in full. Yikes! But I am confident that this surgery will be worth the cost. I need my sexy back! I've always been thick in the thighs and slim in the waist. My waist is still smaller than my bottom but the rolls (oh the rolls!) really distorts my image.

Anywho, I'm counting down! Excited but nervous at the same time.

Dr. Elizabeth Morgan. There are alot of choices in ATL but I felt comfortable with her. I also wanted a dr that didn't have a "lipo factory" because I want my individual time and attention.

That is incredible that you waited 3 years and did so much research! Awesome!

Good luck with everything! I just had the same areas done 12 days ago. I'm just now starting to see some changes. It's weird, I was warned the lower part of my upper arms (right above elbow) would take the longest to see results since the fluid drains down, but this is actually where I'm seeing the results! My upper arms are still pretty big, so I'm hoping it's just swelling!

Hi Ginlikethedrink! I like that name... Lol. Question: how long were you told to wear arm compression sleeves/ace bandages? And how bad did your arms hurt after? I'm nervous that I may not be able to do much because of my arms and I have a trip scheduled 5 weeks after surgery and I don't want to be in pain or in a compression sleeve.

Haha thanks :) It's been 16 days since my surgery and I pretty much have full use of my arms. I was told not to lift anything over 5 pounds for first 3 weeks. My arms are still a little tender when I stretch them all the way out, and they get tired easily. But I think by 5 weeks they should be back to normal! As far as the ace bandages, I wore them 24/7 for first week. After my one week I was told I just needed to wear them whenever it's convenient for me. I am going back for my 3 week appt on April 15th, and will probably find out then how much longer I will have to wear them.

Ok. Here are the awful nude pics! I can't wait until the stomach hang is gone. I'm also looking forward to having an arch in my back again! I think the arch will enhance my butt and I'll look curvy like I did when I was a size 9/10.

It will be very worth it. Now almost 3 months I am feeling a lot better. Can actually not wear the garment. It like in 1 week things changed. I am in mexico now and its very hot so I am sweating and things still get itchy. I look back and it seemed to be a long long road but I feel so much better not having a gut hang out..LOL
