Laser Liposuction: Stories

Hey Real_self Family! ( i read this site almost daily to get stories related to mine). Long story short. i have a co-worker who showed me a pamplet, then she had it done, i read up on it, advised the husband of the plan ( for much needed support) and schuduled a consultation. While im getting my $ right, i have a final cosult on Feb 26. Then, on the day of my wedding Anniversary, March6 the tummy will be sucked away! im soo excited.Husband doesnt agree but is willing to tatally support me........I love him! Ive had this pooch all of my life, i cant blame babies....even though the last one left me with about 30 extra lbs that i cant seem to shake.Im having my upper/lower abs done and my waist. those are my only PROBLEM areas. The arms, back etc will do fine if i can shake this weight.... My stomach is hereditary, my mom has one too. But hers came more with age, she used to be skinny. I, on the other hand have never had that priveldge. Ill keep yall updated!

SOOOO.. I GO IN TOMMORROW FOR MY PRE-OP(?). i think thats what it is.. im embarrssed cause ive put on a few pounds since the consult. i hope that will be ok. soo ready!

@ pre-op right now...dressed in the attractive paper bikini, getting all of my before and after instructions....wish the doctor would hurry up and come in here. One more week and I"ll be fine and devine! Ttyl

Only 2 and a half more days! Dr. Seimen said I had a small hernia. But he could still do the procedure ( I read that is dangerous).my gyn said I didn't have a hernia. So idk....so now I'm confused and excited

On my way.....a little nervous, (met me there jesus!)

ok. enough of reading other post. today, i have my own! FINALLY. so, it was schuduled for 6 am yesterdat morning. they said eat a good breakfast and include something sweet. so @ 3:30 in the morning me and the hubby were @ the Waffle house eating a good breakfst. we got to sono Bello and waited unitl they were ready to call me to the back (we were early). when they did, as u know from reading other post, the nurse did her thing, i aske a few ?'s then the doc came in to draw on me and ansewered some of my ?'s. when the meds she gave me kicked in' i was "cool as a cucumber and didnt really have a care in the world! she put me on the procedure bed and gave me sunglasses. ok, here we go. The doc came in and gave me those shots. ALL im gonna say is "oh boy". ( they did hurt) and i have a high pain tolerence. but any who.....next came the Tumescent fluid, or what ever its called, and (oh boy)....ya catch my drift? he said i said very welltaking the pain. he also said that shopuld be the end of my dis comfort.

BUT, it wasnt, i have a big pooch, and that fat was REALLY stubborn. Cuz it hurt for real. but i kept focusing on the fat that i could see going in the tube. (by the way he told me FLA law will only let him take out 4000 ccs of fat......that what he tolm ME. ANY ways. i fell asleep numerous times (glad i did). then they woke me up and put on my garment. ( idont remember how i got dressed, but i did.) the nurse gave me my bag with my meds and instructions and wheeled me out to my car.

I slept the whole way home. i woke up when my husband stopped to get something to ea, but that's all i remember. got home, in the bed (i had akready lined the bed with protective cloths. and i was out. i was in moderate pain but i got up and ate a sandwhich, drink h20 and popped another molly, ( imeant pill)!slept most of the the day, but i got up, said hello to all of my babies, asked them about school, ironed thier clothes for the next day, alked sround the house for a bit and layed down (attempting to watch FLIGHT. i fell asleep.

When i got up i was curius how i looked (by the way the dr called to check on me ) hat was nice. i wanted to take off the garment and put pads under it but he said no, cuz i would swell alot and be in terrible pain. main i leaked every where and i wad soaked. i changed the padding on the bed about 3-4 times and underwear abou 3 times. by the way, i can alreay tell a difference in my love handles and lower ab, even through the garment! and i now have a waist line! ohhhh shT$#, girlfirend gone be fine! WaTch out now! so its 3 in the morning and most of the pain has subsided and im writing my review....lots of leakage on the 1st day....loving the BEGINING resultS

Sono bello called me again yesterday to check on me and answer any ? I hd. And to make my follow-up appt. I put shape wear on top of my binder and compression garment. It actually doesn't hurt. I want a nice figure. This itching is *** I'm up @ 6am in the morning trying on belts cuz I never had a waistline before. This is soo cool!

Its the 3rd/4th day and I'm starting to feel slighty bloated and the rubber band feeling around my waist.

So I went to the gym today for a light workout. I felt soo good. But "ohh boy",now I see what others are talking about when they say their procedure areas are swollen. It ALMOST looks like I didn't have much done. But I still feel my areas tryning to "draw up"

whew.. Thank God (UPS delivered today). went to Sonobello on wensday for my 2nd stage garment. i told dat Gal that thang was too small. she said "its supposed to be like this (it took both of us to squeeze me in) she said she would've even suggested i get a large instead of the XL for even more compression ......i dont know "bout that cause girlfriends gotta breathe. i finally got putting it on and taking it off by myself down to a science. but OMG. she said nothing should be tight or indent my skin right now....i undersatnd that. but that garment was soo tight, i began to feeel nauseau,then i was cranky, didnt even wanna ansewer thephone. thats how tight it was. it was squeezing my back in a undescribable way. then i had to work and sleep in it......thats too much.then today, a knock came on the door. THANK GOD! ( i ordered a refurbished 2XL on my own- and paid 66.00 for a 130.00 garment) i put it on and i think im gonna make it! Another 2X should be on the way, once some sewlling goes down' ill get back in my XL. ( the 2x measurments fit just right, but the girls @ Sono bello are told to put u in a size smaller then what you should order...sorry i couldnt do it much longer

imm such a srew up. i tried to down load flics from my cell-phone and some how just erased them all......wow

also. besides the extreme swelling that took my slimm results look away (lol). i feel the hard lumps forming and sudden sharp pains here and ther. All just part of the healing im sure.

Thank the Lord! My period came on and I've been releasing all sorts of fliuds for the last couple days, I'm A LOT less bloated. I even started eating right and dropped 5lbs since Sunday. And to make me feel even better, sono bello sent me a 2 week post op email and said "by now, most of ur swelling should be gone, more results are slowly but surely coming. Ahhh. Finally, the results are on the way again. This is my motivation to drop these 30 plus lbs and I'm vtaking advantage of it. I have no more excuses or reasons to disappoint MYSELF this time....

today is Sunday, this wendsday will make 3 weeks since my procedure. Swelling from week 2 has went down tremendously and I can fit back into my regular uniform and some of my old (smaller clothes).but u can tell I'm more shapely than before. Glad to see results again.. ill post pics when I can.

Going home to Jamaica in two weeks for a short stay....ill be very sexy in my TWO piece bathing suit. I hope I keep shrinking.

BTW ...my Co -worker had her arms and dorsidal fat pad on her back done in December and she looks amazing.I'm thinking of having my back done when I pay off my Jamica trip.idk.....maybe ill just save up until I can just pay for the procedure cash.

Doing great.

So I'm about two months post procedure. I ordered two smaller garments yesterday. size large to be exact. I started out in an extra large. I did order 2x on my own because it was more comfortable. the one x is snug

I know it's time to get more compression.these garments are not cheap. They don't tell about these things during your consult.on surgery day I weighed in @ 210/yesterday I was 201

I got my two new smaller garments yesterday. wanna ride in the mail. and the other via UPS. I posted pictures of both size large

My new garments arrived a couple days ago. Size Large from makemeheal.com
