I have been considering lipo for some time now. Im a 35 yoear old mother of three. I recently lost about 60 pounds but the stomach seems to stay the same.I really want this done but reaing all these reviews and some other stories are a little bit frightening. I ve only read about 3 deaths one was lidocaine toxity and the other two had previous health conditions. Although Im healthy Im still nervous, hope I dont change my mind.

Just had my smart lipo today ! Lidocaine poisoning was my fear also ! But everything went great I feel great and I'm I Only 3 hours out ! A little soreness is kicking in . My dr said the real risk of lipo or plastic surgery is the risk of going under ! Listening to him and the nurses talk the whole time I was reassured that I was going to be ok. The kept very good track of exactly how mush lidocaine they had given me ! Even though I'm still full of fluids I can already see a huge difference !! Good luck and if u decide to do it, it will be well worth it !!

Please keep us updated on your progress because I want to know how your skin tightens up because your stomach was similar to mine..

I am like you also I researched my heart out and just finally went for it. Treat yourself is what I say of course there's gonna be pain but you will be alright. Remember this is surgery and I would not let a new guy work on me no matter what. I would use someone that lives and breaths lipo. I say this because once you get out the pain the first 2 weeks you do not wanna go back to experience the pain again because he didn't do it properly. This is one thing you don't want to cut corners with.

He's been doing it for a year and he is a hour away instead of of 3 to 4 hours away when it comes to all of the follow up appointments, he has turned a lot of people away because he did not feel they were right mentally or physically for the procedure so he's clearly not in it for the money. I know anything can happen weather they have been or acting for two years or twenty I'm just praying for the best ....

4/19/13 Ok went it for a pre/pre op. This meeting was schedules by the doctor to give me more knowledge about the procedure being done the highs, the lows, the ups, the downs and to see if I had any more questions or concerns. I was also introduced to the team that will be assisting him during my procedure. I was given all my perscription because some meds he want me to start taking a week before (example vitamin c and k) altough im still nervous they are very reassuring.13 Days to go!!!
