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!

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.
