2010 is when I first thought about having smart lipo. After finding out I was pregnant again for the second time, I just knew it would be soooo hard to lose the weight the second time around and I was right......

My weight loss to Smart Lipo Journey!!!!!!

Before I had my son I was exactly 200lbs. I had gain over 60lbs. After I had my 8.5lb son, I started working out and I lost about 18lbs the first go around with no help. I decided to have the surgery, I made my appointment and I was ready. As the days got closer I started to question myself. I got really scared that I would not see any results because I still felt like I needed to lose some more weight and I was right. I was about 176lbs and I just stopped working out. I got really sad because I am 4'10 weighing 176lbs, I felt fat and lazy because all I did just take care of my children. I gain about 10lbs which brought me back to 182-186lbs depending on my mood. My son really took my sexy curves and I was not feeling like myself. I was so tired of feeling this way and I wish I could change this feeling!!!! It was time to gain my confidence back....

On Oct 1st 2012, I began to work out again and I lost about 26lbs which brought me to 160 at the end of 2012.

Just when I thought things was looking up, I realized I had reached the point where I could not lose anymore weight no matter how hard or long I worked out. My stomach has loose skin and my muffin top just will not lose anymore inches. At that point, I really felt like it was time to seek out smart lipo again and this time I was not going to back down and be scared. I set up my consultation for March 14th and my surgery will happen the next day March 15th.

Today is Friday, exactly 7 days before my Smart Lipo and I have to admit that I am very relaxed. I have my notes and questions ready for the doctor and I know I will be in great hands.
I already feel very comfortable with his staff just by the short convos I've had with Mimi she is really sweet and VERY patient.

I will upload my before and after photos. If you have any questions or any advice before and after please comment below.

I had smart lipo done around my lower, upper and flanks by American lipo center about 1-1/2 years ago and was told that the swelling will go away within 6 months. It hasn't gone away and I still look the same as if nothing was done at all. Just like they say, you get what you pay for. In my case, I had a consultation with their competitor Sono Bello, but after hearing ALC offer to do the job for half the price, I decided to save a buck. Bad life choice on my part. I should have stayed with Sono Bello instead. My diet had nothing to do with this, so don't think I just gained it all back. I just don't think it was worth my time going to ALC. I would not recommend it to anyone even if they wanted to save a buck.

Hellllloooo!!! three more dayz until my smart lipo!!!!

I went out today and I bought the disposable underpads for my bed and or chair where ever im sitting and just some cheap always maxi pads for the leaking..

What i have been doing so far to prepare myself is...
- taking the arnica pills 4 times a day
- no smoking "anything"
- no Alcohol
- 3 to 4 bottles of water a day
- littlle to none sodium (salt)
- portion control, since Im not working out this week I need to eat a little less so I wont gain weight
- maybe up to an hour of walking nothing to hard because I dont wanna lose any weight this week.

Im still soo not thinking this is real yet it hasnt hit me that my tammie the talking tummy will no longer be terrorizing me
