Abdominal Etching and Lipo
Hi, I am 46 years old, no children and have been athletic most of my life. However, since turning 45, everything has changed. I always had a little pooch, sometimes bigger sometimes smaller but never flat. One can only imagine how worst it gets as you age. so even though I have been active I can not fight father time. Now I find myself fighting gravity. I have love handles!!! I hate them, I feel so self aware, I don't even wear a tshirt without spanx. I feel disgusting. I don't even dare wear yoga pants because my saddle bags have started to develop. uggh I hate this age. So After really 2 years of deliberation I have decided to get a consult.

Hi babe, I think you have a great body to start! I think Dr. Markmann is a great surgeon if you want lipo and ab etching, the pain isn't that bad since he prescribes pain med. However, the pain med doesn't always for some people, but I hope it works for you. With the only exception, if you have drains, it might sting a little when you milk it. Other than that, having lipo is not bad at all!

46 going for consultation
Soooo poo next week I'm going from my consultation I can't wait. I AM SCARED ABOUT THE PAIN but I very much look forward to getting rid of my pooch which in spite of CrossFit and working out and dieting is still there. I am gathering with my age it ain't getting any better so I plan on getting lipo of hips abs and flanks...will see ....here are my before pics guys...wishes me luck.
I hear ya, I call it my 40's flab. I swear...as soon as I hit 40 it was like all my fat just went to my belly and I'm very active as well. It's sooo frustrating!
I've cranked up my cardio and yoga and I train really hard with wieghts. I wear a belt, I can't remember what they call them -- like a belly trimmer/wrap just to keep everything hot and sucked in when I'm sweating away. I think it helps me keep my tummy tight as it's so important to keep your abs engaged all the time, even when you're not working out, so the belt just helps me focus...not sure if it doesn't anything more. I've totally revamped my diet, I don't diet per say..I've just cut out heavy carbs like bread and pasta and I consume most of my calories earlier on in the day, with a high protein breakfast. I close down my kitchen about 7:30 and if I have a craving, I drink tea.
Here's to getting rid of the belly, I'll be following your journey -- good luck!
