I am having smart lipo on my upper and lower tummy, muffin tops, inner and outter thighs on May 24th 2012. I weigh 140 lbs and i am 5 ft 4 inch. i am 23 yrs old and am a mother of two who are 1 and 2 yrs of age. before i had kids i weighed 125lbs then after having my son i was 130lbs......yes i was still small and i loved my body. But then after having my daughter i was 170lbs.....I WAS SO DEPRESSED BEING THAT BIG!!! Well being a mother of two very small children and a husband who is in the marine corps, it was hard for me to try and lose the weight. Either i was tired from a long day or i was sick...i didnt have time to lose the weight. finally after my daughter was about 7 months i got the strenth some how to go to the gym in the eveningis. i lost 30lbs in 4 1/2 months. its Been 14 months since i lost the 30 lbs and i am still having trouble dropping the last 10 lbs. i have some stretch marks that are not really noticable and very little cellulite. I JUST WANT TO LOOK AND FEEL SEXY AGAIN..LOL!

I have been researching about Smartlipo for the past 4 months and decided to get it done. i am really nervous but excited at the same time.

Hi! Hopefully, you are feeling well! What sympthoms are you experiencing, currently? Can wait too see your b4 & afters. I totally understand you when it comes too feeling sexy again. My body & mind went through so much after pregnancy & I want to get in shape & attack the areas I can't target w/ exercise & w/o totally losing my figure. Some ppl thinks sit ups is the cure for targeting belly fat. However, I assure you that it isn't I participated in advance sports for most of my life & have always had a lower pudge. Keep us updated

Just pain in my ab area, legs and sides. its pretty hard for me to exercise now because i am a busy mom of 2 little ones and a wife so i try my best to make time out of my day for my husband and kids. Before having kids i was always in shape. but now i just dont really have time to exercise. after having the smartlipo my husband plans on helping me stay in shape and maybe shed 10 or 15 more lbs
