Smartlipo - My Attempt at Pressing the Reset Button - Lilburn, GA

Im 25, 5'3" and 170 lbs. 2 years ago I weighed around 120-125. I feel like one day I woke up and I was in someone else's body. Over the course of the past 2 months, I think I've been asked my "due date" at least once a week.
I feel like I should be enjoying life in my young age, and honestly i have just been feeling so self concious about my weight gain I find myself not having a good time when i should be. So instead of complaining about it, I took a huge step and decided to do something about it. First, i obtained a membership at my local gym. However, as many say, Im not seeing the results I hoped for. Sure, i feel much better, but I also want to look better.
I am getting the "wrap around" service which includes upper and lower abdomen, love handles, and waist area. I believe my option will also include my lovely rolling bra strap area! I wish you could hear the excitement in my voice when i talk about it!
I wasn't going to tell any of my friends about my upcoming procedure, but i decided to let the cat out the bag at the last minute since it is next week and i plan to take a 5 day hiatus. Needless to say, some of them are supportive and some think im out of my mind for making such a commitment.
I feel confindent in my decision and I also cant wait to take photos and post for everyone to see.
I've gotten my labwork done, before photos, and pre/post operative care instructions. I will be taking as many pictures as the site will let me... will be updating soon! Wish me luck!

My procedure is in 9 days so i took a few pics for you guys to see what i looked like before the weight gain, and what i look like now... Im not looking for a miracle or thinking i can have that 24 inch waist again. I just want to be comfortable in my own skin again... or comfortable in the skin i purchase :)

Your Dr performed Smart Lipo on me July 1. She is great. I had a lot of anxiety about the procedure since I have a low tolerance for pain, but I can honestly say my fears were unjustified. It went smoothly. I am sure it will be the same for you since Dr. B gives 150% each time(her words).
The recovery is not a day at the beach but it was well worth it. I've lost 7 inches off of my waist so now I have a waist and I don't look down at fat anymore. Hang in there...follow ALL the instructions and feel free to ask me more details about my experience.
The big day is tomorrow and the word excited...
Im hoping I get the results that I want. Im just a little worried that my tummy is too "hard" and rounded (look at the picture that shows my view when Im seated.) ... I was wondering if maybe part of my troubles are from an over stretched and protruding stomach and not so much from fat?!? I don't know. Im not a doctor so Im going to stop speculating and hope for the best...
I received a call from my Dr's office this afternoon to confirm I started taking my antibiotics (started 2 days prior to procedure.) and to remind me to use the special cleanser tonight in the shower and in the morning before I go.
Im excited and extremely tired, so I am going to get some rest and mentally prepare myself for the morning.
Just realized I have no clue how long this is going to take, so I will prepare a playlist for my ipod...
Wish me luck ladies!
