So I am now 4 weeks post.Doc says things are progressing very well and that I am still slightly swollen so I will still see more improvement down the road. I personally don't see much improvement in skin tightening but I'm trying to be patient. I also plan on doing another laser procedure to help reduce my stretch marks which also helps tighten the skin but that wont happen until next Jan or the fall.

I have posted updated pics.

Very considerate and appears to really want to make sure he does a good job. Very quick in responding to emails and calls and also willing to see patients even without an aftercare appointment for concerns or questions.

What made you choose this method instead of a tummy tuck? Mine would look similar to yours; before and after. I am not inclined to undergo the cost and drama of such a serious operation as a tummy tuck; therefore, I am considering this procedure. I don't care about the stretch marks so much as the pocket of fat and the loose skin. Thanks so much for sharing!

Same reasons you mentioned. The cost and the recovery time. There is also a procedure I plan to do that will help with the stretch marks as well. I know I would LOVE to have a super flat belly that only a tummy tuck would do but that's a lot. This was a good alternative. And I'm only 5 weeks, Dr. told me I am still swollen and will be even smaller in a few more months.

I am excited to read your post. This Dr. that I consulted asked me a question, no other Dr. has asked in all of the 20 years that I have been going for the free consultation (never committing). He asked, "do you want to wear a bikini or look good in clothes?" Genius question. I have had a horrible experience with a medical device but my comfort and vanity keep me hoping. I want to do the half measures though, I just can't do the full surgery.

That is a good question to ask. Frankly, if you have confidence you can wear a bikini. I have a bikini before and I plan on wearing one again. Yes, maybe I don't have the perfect body but so what?
I'm curious. What happened with a medical device?

I'm sorry, I just read your review so disregard my question.

It's now 2 weeks since my Slim Lipo and I am starting to finally feel better. I am starting to see a difference and I will post pics next week when I hit my 3 week mark.

I am still swelling and still have some lumps. I bought bromelain (based on a few suggestions from this site) and I think that has helped with the swelling.

I started to get back into my normal gym routine and worked with my personal trainer today for half hour doing kettle bells and push ups followed up with a half hour of abs.

I think things will be OK.

Well, it's now, 11 days post and still no difference. Well, I shouldn't say that, I do see a difference in volume reduction when I look at my before and after. My biggest worry continues to be the lumps above my belly button. They are horrible and they really make my stomach stick out. I know it's been only 11 days and that lumps are par for the course but I feel like crap.

I may end up doing a tummy tuck next year.

I do have some before and after pics.
