Liposuction Journey Starts Here

Ladies, I want say I regret doing a tummy tuck, but I will say that I wish I would have waited till after I did my weight loss journey because I might not needed it; I wasn't big at all in my stomach before I had a tummy tuck, I was just walking around with big flanks and a lot of fat on my lower back. But being quick and thinking a tummy tuck will make me lose weight I did it. I gained weight because I felt with a small stomach I can still eat more and not worry about weight. That wasn't the case, I gained weight and went up to 204 pounds. YIKES!!! So after my consultation here in Atlanta with a liposuction center; I came home and looked at myself up and down in the mirror and thought about just trying my damest to lose weight first. I did go to a weight loss-cosmetic surgery doctor (all-in-one) and he gave me again PHENTERMINE DIET PILLS and that got me started with my journey of losing weight. I am now 20lbs lighter. I am so glad I didn't spend those thousands of dollars yet on liposuction yet; because those 20 pounds came off in my concerned areas on my body. Which I would have lipo'd --so I saved myself thousand of dollars. Well I will weigh in January 15 and if I am 15 more pounds lighter and I see my flanks went down I will not even think about lipo at all. My only problem is and always have been is that when I was 150-160 pounds I always had flanks that showed. But we will see; weight doesn't come off in one area if your walking/jogging 45 minutes a day it will come off anywhere. Hopefully not my ass. (SMILE) But I am excited and wanted to share this with you ladies that might doing doing liposuction and can possibly lose the weight first. Hopefully this blog helps you--check back in January and I will show you the results of my weight loss journey

NO LIPOSUCTION FOR ME

Hello Realself ladies, I haven't been on this forum in so long, I forgot how to log in. I wanted to let me friends all know that I never went to Dr. Ortega. I later on decided to go to "American Liposuction" there are a few locations I chose of course the one here in Atlanta, GA. Anyway this is how it all went down because if you notice at the top it say NO LIPOSUCTION FOR ME; well this is how it all went down. I decided not to travel to Florida again only because by the time I spent money on travel and lodge and gas, I would have paid a lot of out of pocket expenses. So I searched online for a facility here and came across AMERICAN LIPO CENTER; well I went to my appointment schedule my pre-appointment so when I got home I looked at myself in the mirror and thought about how I would look and feel if I tried my hardest to lose weight before my liposuction. Liposuction any cosmetic procedure is costly. So, I decided to put my mind to it and get some help and try to lose the weight first then see how I look and exactly what and where on my body I would need liposuction. So I made an appointment with a weight loss doctor/plastic surgeon doctor and he prescribed me PHENTERMINE DIET PILLS which I took them before. Welp! I decided to start them the day after Thanksgiving 2014. Today is December 30, 2014 and I have lost 20 pounds. I am out of the diet pills but I trained my self to eat right and to work out like crazy, so even though I am out of the diet pills I haven't went back to get more because I am in a habit of walking on my treadmill faithfully along with eating right. Ladies, I have transformed my body and I at this moment do not need liposuction. I do see that my flanks will need it; but then again I am still 15 more pounds to being at my goal weight and those pounds might decrease in my flanks and still more in my lower back. So till I get to my goal weight I will not be looking into liposuction. Ladies if its just weight loss you need please try your hardest and get some help from a weight loss doctor first; then when you get to your goal weight then look at yourself again and see what you need. I promise you; you will be amazed at how much money you would have saved by just losing the weight first, then look at yourself and see what you will need. I complained so much about my lower back and my flanks; ladies my flanks are fading and my lower back is forming into a sexy back. I needed that boast to get me started with the help of diet pills - now that I am in the habit of eating and working out - my weight is still coming off. My weight is coming off slowly but that is the way it suppose to be. I will post pictures January 10, 2015 because that is when I will stop and look at myself and see what accomplishments I have made. But I am not giving up. once I get down to 160lbs I will be satisfied and will give myself a complete over haul to see what or if I need liposuction. But I just wanted to give an update on my blog to let you know I did not go thru with my liposuction procedure. I will post pictures January 15, 2014. You will see what 30 pounds of weight loss did to my physique I am excited to see what 15 more pounds will do myself.

Well ladies I am close to have my full body liposuction on December 1, 2014. I am so excited to finally have my results I have been longing for. YAYYYY Dr. Ortega at Spectrum Aesthetics here I come.
