I am 22 and have had weight problems my entire life. I finally saved up enough money to get liposuction, so I'm going for it! My surgery is in two weeks (May 30, 2012). I am getting abdominal liposuction and I will be under general anesthesia. I'm getting scared since I have never been under before. Wish me luck!

I had my surgery this morning at 0700; I am in a lot of pain, a lot of pain! I think the hardiest and most painful thing I do is getting up and down from the reclining chair to use the restroom. I don’t know yet if it's worth, I just really hope it is after all this pain.

I know it's years later, but how do you feel about it now? I'm looking at having a TT with Dr. Shadid and would love to know your experience.

2nd day post-op. The pain is extreme. I never thought in a million years that it would hurt this bad. My pain pills are causing delirium. The doc took my binder off this morning and my stomach is so flat! He took out 4900 cc just from my stomach. I know it will be worth it.

Hi, your results turned out pretty good & will be even better once your swelling goes down. I'm getting Smart lipo on my upper/ lower abs & flanks. Hope you begin to feel better.
