I am so sorry that scaredmoneywasted is having such a difficult time. I was terrified of having lipo to my abs and flanks due to a friend of mine having such a bad experience. However, I had it done July 30 and I am doing great.. I m so thankful to how I look and it has only been 5 days. My doctor told me every person is different and it could take 3 months to see results and not get discouraged. My friend that had lipo to the abs, flanks, arms and inner thighs in May is just now feeling good and seeing results. She is looking great. She was very sick with infection, a lot of pain and she had to make herself get dressed and out of the house. It has been almost 3 months since her lipo and she is so happy with the way she looks and feels now. She still has some swelling and discomfort but she said she would do it again. I don't know why things went so well for me other than I has several people praying for me before and after the surgery. Dr Lisa David and her staff are amazing and for those of you that are having a difficult time you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Drink, drink and drink lots of water and walk, but don't walk too much is one of the instructions my doctor gave me. Wishing you healing and great results.

Thanks for the encouraging words. Going to the beach for a week with my husband, our 4 sons and 2 daughter in laws. When I get back I am scheduled for lipo to the abs and flanks at the end of July. I have been concerned about long term results and the pain. Gave birth to 4 without an epidural and do not remember labor pains, so hopefully I can deal with this pain. My dr has told me there will be some pain, swelling and bruising. Not sure what some means, hopefully not too bad. If you ladies can do it and be as encouraging as you are, than surely it is not unbearable. As I read how each of you look and feel about your results, I am looking forward to it. Could someone please tell me how to look at pictures you have posted? I have tried to find them, but have not been able to. Hope I don't get scared again, I am going to start looking forward to this procedure and stop thinking of all the bad things and concentrate on the good. Keep posting I enjoy reading.
I am scheduled for lipo to my ab and flanks on July 30. I have considered canceling the procedure because I keep reading and hearing from people that I will gain weight in other areas after having lipo. I am 5'3 and stay around 149 to 153lbs. I am 57 and have small bones. If it were not for my fat belly, my body would look good. After having my 4th baby, I never lost the baby fat tummy. I eat healthy, exercise, and basically a very happy person. My husband is supportive of my decision to have lipo and is willing to pay for it. He also tells me it is my decision, he will love me with or without the fat tummy. I am sick of seeing the fat and trying to hide it. I wear a size 8 pants and if it were not for the fat tummy I could wear a small top. I buy all my tops to fit loose to cover the tummy. I wish I was more at peace with having the lipo, but I am concerned about gaining weight in my breasts, arms, butt or where ever it may appear should I gain a few pounds. I am also concerned with the pain and swelling that occurs with lipo. Reading your post is encouraging. My waist is a size 35 and I can't get it to go away. Please help me decide what to do. One day I feel good about lipo and the next day I get discouraged and change my mind. Time is running out, I have to cancel within 2weeks prior to surgery or I will loose $1,000. Suggestions please.
