In 7 days I will be having my procedure for liposuction. I have always wanted to get this procedure done because i have never been comfortable with the extra body fat that my body has carried around my stomach and my disgusting love handles. I gave up on buying clothing and black became my favorite color. I am ready to be happy about the skin i am in. I have had a few consultations some doctors told me a tummy tuck may be a better option but i always though why cant try liposuction first and if my skin doesn't contract the way it should then i would consider tummy tuck.My procedure is May 11,2012 at 9:15am I truly cant wait to tell this belly goodbye!

Well Im back at work today, I didn't want to get out of bed but I had to come in. It wont be a problem I am istting down for 8 hours but still I would prefer to be in my bed. Well day 1 I had a lot of lumps. It looked a little disfigured then i figured out the garment they gave me was not on right it was shaping my skin very funny do I took that off I have a excellent gurtle I had bough from Walmart that shape beautifully I put that on and then put the doctors garment on under it. I massaged and massaged and all the lumps are out WHEWWWW thank goodness. I just cant wait for the swelling to go down so that I can see the final product so do you ladies want to see the photo with all the lumps????

did your doctor tell you to lift the skin up while u in your garment so you wont have sagging skin my doc told me to do that now i dont have sagging skin.

Yeah. Just do what makes you happy. I want implants too I have two different sized breast. Not fun. Well my surgery is tomorrow morning at 0545. I feel sick thinking about it. Can't wait to post after pictures.
missy22 29 May 2012
Please don't stress out everything will be OK. Surgery will be a success!!!
msdtmp28 29 May 2012
You look great. I mentioned that I was doing a makeover from lipo to implants and it was a lot of negative feedback. So when I get my procedure done I'm remaining anonymous too.
okc22 28 May 2012
Exactly!!! Only a few people in mh life know I'm even doing this. You know how people like to talk bad about others. So I don't even want to go their.
okc22 28 May 2012
Ahhh you look so good! Btw I don't show my face either :)

I'm looking to do a mommy makeover as well starting with the lipo and finishing with breast implants. I can't wait to see your results. If you don't mind, who is the doctor that performed your surgery? I'm from Ohio and I don't want to get it done here. Thanks!

A week from today! May 30, 12

thats why I am doing this... I thought by seeing my stomach flat it would motivate me too lose the rest of the weight. I may have to try the double binder thing ;)
missy22 22 May 2012
When is your surgery?
okc22 22 May 2012
how do you move with two binders on? You look so great! I hope my results are as good as yours!
missy22 22 May 2012
thank you...its not that bad it actually has helped with the swelling it went down tremendously so im gonna stay wrapped up. i cant wait for the entire process to be over and im gonna do my best to make sure i stay healthy so that I will never have to worry about troubled areas anymore!
Johanne8559 21 May 2012
Missy, Be patient, Patience is the key! Be positive. What you need to do:
Wear your compression garment daily except when taking shower;
drink a lot of fluids particularly water to decrease the swelling;
eat healthy, avoid food that contain high sodium;
massage your body!
You went too far to feel that way! It will take time but you will be happy when you see the final result. I am still swelling but I could see the difference in my shape the first I removed my garment to take shower.
missy22 22 May 2012
thank you so much...it is coming along slowly but surely i appreciate your words so much.
