well all, its been 10 months since my surgery and needless to say I am horribly disappointed. I look THE SAME! I only had one glimmer of hope and that was week 2 that I may come out of this with a new out look on me. I still try to cover my love handles (which were so bruised and soar after the surgery) and my pooch (which barely looked touched) and my back fat when I wear a bra ( which was puffy and soar after surgery) I want to be pissed, but i just feel defeated. I paid for nothing. The only thing now is my face puts on a ton of weight and my breast are king size so i have to wear a DD now. Since the surgery I have had low blood sugar issues and heart arrythmias . Definately not worth the money the pain and the disappointment.

Soooo terribly disappointed :( its almost been 6 months and I don't see any results! I know it takes a full year to see final results, but the only thing I see is my bruising is finally gone. My boobs gone up a cup size and my butt has gotten bigger, and if I'm not absolutly careful on my diet my face get fat from time to time! My pants fit the same! I've still got belly bulge(which is why I had the surgery int the first place!) And still feel self-conscience naked :( i was hoping to finally be able to wear a 2 piece swim suit this summer, but I doubt my results will allow it :( when I sit down I still have love handles and a bag of gut that sits on my lap! So what the heck did my doctor take out?! I really hope I start seeing some kind of results close to what my doctor and I discussed or I'm going to get very angry!!! >:{

NS77, I'm sorry to read what's going on... As I remember we had surgery about the same time. I too don't have the results I wanted... I have hanging skin over my C section, my flans are good but I have the pouch that I originally wanted to get rid of... I know how you feel! I have the same sentiments, specially the not being comfortable when makes... Hubby is sweet and doesn't say anything, but I KNoW he's thinking " I paid $6k for this!? Please don't tell me it's a year before we see final results :( First I was told 3 months and then at my 6 month checkup she said 6 Months... Don't be a stranger and keep on posting.

I am asking all: what kind of exercise do you do and how often? Be honest...

Yeah, I'm officially pissed >:{ don't waste your money unless you have a train wreck of a belly and you would notice a HUGE difference getting it done. The pain versus the result is NOT worth it. The only improvement I see is I'm not bruised anymore...well I wasn't "bruised" to begin with! My size, texture,shape and rolls are exsactly the same! I wish I wasn't dumb enough to buy into the hype of "noticeable improvement", I guess it was an exspensive lesson well learned. So dissappointed :(

Wow,I just saw your pix, I can see a big difference! You look curvey, your back is smoothed out a lot! I see some swelling in the belly area, but I can see the fats gone! You look great! I think I'm frustrated cuz it looks as though my bodys taking on the shape of my week 1 pix :( maybe swelling? I dunno :( I think I'm probably gonna start taking month to month pix now instead of week 2 week, I'll prob. Be less frustrated!

Need support I don't know how to say it but hang in there. You and I had surgery at the same time, I look at your pics and look at mine and we are the same. Looks like our best week was week two. I had a lymphatic massage last Thursday and it was fabulous, she worked her magic on me and when I left clinic I felt great ! I want another one next week! Don't give up just yet. Remember we were told it would be at least three months to see final results? It's only been one month for us. It helps to read the posts from others that are Ahead of us, it gives us hope and understanding as to what it's in storage for us.

You should of saved your money and did the right research. Dr Goldflies is a conservative surgeon , and he’s not that skilled. He does horrible breast jobs , and lipo. I had to go and get it fixed in Arizona . Love my results now by Dr . Chasby Sacks, and Dr Patel. Both great cosmetic , and plastic surgeons they are artists. Do yourself a favor, and look them up. They also have been in real self magazine. They fix bad results by not so skilled Docs like Goldflies. He’s not the only one that isn’t so skilled—there’s many others so please do your research.
