WORTH IT$9,000
I am scheduled to have lipo on back, flanks, upper stomach, and inner/outer thighs on 9/4. 3 years ago I had a TT, breast lift/aug, and some minor lipo on thighs after losing 75 pounds. At the time Dr CK told me I would need some lip on my upper stomach. He does not do lip on the stomach area when doing a TT in order to avoid complications during healing.
Since the first surgery, my sister was in need of a kidney. I donated in October of 2012. They had to cut through my stomach muscles, but I seem to have snapped back. What I have not really snapped back from is a 20 pound weight gain. I also had my Lap band removed due to erosion and slipping in November of 2013. I am on my own now with maintaining my weight. I seem to be hovering at 190 now. I am hoping that with this lipo and continued clean eating, I can be sculpted and maintain my weight.
I will post before pictures the day of surgery and update after.
Good luck to others who are going on the journey as well!

Oh wow, Dr.CK is the PS that myself and a friend chose to do our TT/w lipo. I'm getting breast implants as well. I hope a speedy recovery for you!

So I have done my prep shopping and decided to buy a measuring tape. I did not measure last time. My husband did the measurements and went ahead and took the before photos.
Waist - 38 3/4 in
Hips - 44 in
Bra line - 37 3/4 in
Right upper thigh - 27 in
Right lower thigh - 21 1/2 in
Left upper thigh - 24 3/4 in
Left lower thigh - 20 in
And here are the pics.
Can't wait for Thursday.

I wish you the best. I had liposuction 7 weeks ago and I am recovering great. Best decision. I am happy with the results so far. As we age, we must watch what we eat.

Best of luck! I had abdominal liposuction with a c section scar revision 5 days ago, no regrets!

You donated your kidney....you are truly my hero. If you never had another procedure you are perfect and beautiful.
Good luck with your upcoming surgery.

No pics yet since I am still garmented up but I will need to shower and wash on Saturday.
Procedure went well. Extremely sore yesterday. I would say a 9 on 1-10 and that was with lorotabs. This morning is around a 6. I may switch to Tylenol on my next pain med time. I try to get up every hour or 2 to keep circulation. I can't wait to see me! I feel swollen but I look smaller in the garment they provided. I even notched it down to the smallest size. Dr CK said he took out 4 liters!
Post op is 9/10 which works well sine I fly to New Jersey on the 13th. I hope I am not quite as sore.
So far, overall I am happy with my decision. A concern I have is my breast size. I was a DDD before getting my revision yesterday. I just want to stay with at least a D. I have been D my whole life.....after puberty that is:)
Thank all of you for your support. It helped the time pass and surgery day to finally get here!
I will post pics tomorrow and another update.

Hoping all is well this morning. I flew home from Phoenix on day 10 with no problem. I carried one small carry on and my sister mailed everything else to my home. Plz do not over do. Four liters is what the Dr removed from me. Did the Dr say how much he removed? I am now down by about 15#
September 6, 2014
He said 4 1/2 liters but I assume some of that was fluid. I would think about 4 liters. I haven't gotten on the scale yet. I am afraid the swelling will discourage me.

I was down 3# at the one week check. I did my pineapple and banana smoothies, in fact I went and bought a small blender to use at the motel. I continued the arnica, and other vitamins, and hers suggested. I felt pretty much back to normal by the time I flew home. Good luck and know there will be days that things are not moving as fast as we would like. Some days I was very discouraged, and note that we can not compare our results with someone of different body type, age, or physical fitness. I swim but do not go to the gym and put in hours. Bottom line, heal at ur own pace and know that the final results will be great.

Mmm. Pineapple and banana smoothies sound good. I have both fruits here. Maybe I will make one. I have not had a BM since before surgery-maybe that will help.
September 14, 2014
I just read your story. I am so hopeful I get your great results! I was feeling down and it was nice to read that they take time. Have a great week!

Welcome to the flat side! Can't wait to hear how everything goes with your healing. Rest up and fill us in some more when you are ready :)

TGIF!

I am trying to drink a gallon of water a day. So far so good. My surgeon believes in fully securing the sutures so you don't leak too much. This means I need to drink twice as much to flush out the fluid.
