Im 38 years old, a mother of 4 children, and so tired of my mommy muffin top. Not to mention my hips, thighs and flanks. So I decided to try smart lipo triplex. My appointment is Friday, May 25th and I feel like I'm counting down the minutes. I am currently 5'7, weigh 164 pounds. I carry my weight on my hips, flanks and thighs. It wasn't until after baby #3 that I started to have that crappy muffin top. I do well on weight watchers, but I never can seem to be loosing where it counts most. So Im hopeful that smart lipo will give me some curves back and maybe some confidence as well. :)

Today was my procedure. Since Im still wearing my girdle and super swollen I am unable to truly see any difference. I was under full anesthesia for 3.5 hours and my Dr. removed 6,000 cc's of fat (which weighed in at 15 pounds!). The only thing that set me back was the amount of pain I felt when I woke up. Enough pain that I cried all the way home, and that doesn't normally happen. I received morphine at the surgery center and then have percocet at home. Its probably the drugs, but I am starting to feel slightly better this evening.
The girdle is actually quite nice for being a girdle. My only issue being my thighs feel super itchy. They are still numb from the procedure but itch and are painful. Weird combo.
When I touch my flank area I do notice that it is much smoother than before. So Im excited to feel a bit of fat gone.

Day 3
Im feeling so much better today. Skin feels very tight, like a sunburn. Im still moving at a turtle's pace since each movement is a tad painful. However, I am so happy with the results! Just right before the procedure I was weighed at 165. I was told that the fat removed was 15lbs. Due to swelling, on the first night I weighed myself and it was 175. Super swollen! On day 3 I now weigh 160. My measurements are coming down. My waist is down 3 inches, hips down 3 inches and thighs are down 2 inches each. Since Im no where near my final results - I am super happy! Pain and all... it was worth it!

Hi, hope you feel better soon! Can I ask who is your Dr?

Tummyless- I went to Dr. Vistnes in Palo Alto. I had 2 visits with him before the procedure and he was very informative and honest. My results so far are exactly what he predicted. :)

Photos= does anyone know how I can edit these pics so that they will be vertical? On my computer they are correct, however, when I post them they are horizontal.
Thanks

You results look great! How are you currently feeling emotionally? BTW, You have to edit them before you upload them. Delete the current pics edited the view & upload them once again.

Thank you! I think you should definitely have a consultation with him. He was very informative and thorough with me. I have my post op appointment tomorrow and are looking forward to what he thinks so far. Tomorrow will be day 7 and Im finally up and around. I move slowly though. Good luck!
