“Sceduled to Have Smart Lipo Feb24th. - Bangor, ME”

Hi everyone. I went to have my before pics done last wednesday and it all seems too real. My doctor seems awsome and said not to worry that he does a great job and i wont regret it. I told him this is a one shot deal for me. He is expected to take out 3500 cc or more. I am 5'3 180 pounds. I am right on the border of not doing it for the bmi is too high.

So I got my pre procedure medication and I believe I wont have trouble during the procedure. he did say the only thing I may feel is the first cut where they inject the numbing medication under the skin but he will also give me extra meds when i get ot the office so that I will be pretty happy.

HELLO EVERYONE. TODAY I WENT FOR MY 3 MONTH EXAM. I LOST 6 POUNDS AND 8 INCHES SO I GUESS I HAVE CHANGED. BUT I AM LEFT WITH TO ME ALOT OF EXCESS SKIN. BUT THEY TELL ME THE SKIN IS STILL CONTOURING AND MAY SHRINK MORE. BUT THEY ENCOURAGED ME TO DIET AND EXCERCISE AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN 3 MONTHS. I MAY HAVE TO HAVE A NOTHER PROCEDURE TO HAVE THE EXCESS SKIN REMOVED..

disappoointed now. i am almost months out and i still a good size tire. I am gooing back in a month to discuss a retouch. I hate the idea of doing this. they told me that what i am seeing is skin that didnt tighten. my husband says its alot more then skin. they measured 8 inches last time. I exercise and diet but nothing seems to change. I paid alot and hate the idea of putting out more that i cant..

I am pretty satisfied with some results . at least 50 percent better. I didnt realize that I would have so much skin that didnt shrink or go away.

hello well it is gonna be one year since my smart lipo. im pretty ok with my end results and excercising is showing results. the only thing is i realize i was large in the waist so i have skin that didnt all shrink in the healing process. wondering if with weight loss will some of this skin leave?
