Black & Blue & Bumpy: No Gain Without Pain

Please read my entire review and you will understand why. Also...you should consider looking at the thread "Did You Gain Weight After Liposuction" here on Real Self. It will explain a lot of the unexpected and unpleasant changes that can happen to the body after liposuction (which of course the surgeons rarely discuss since they just want to take your money). Good luck.

Hi! Thanks for visiting my page. Congrats on getting beautiful results with your tummy tuck! It really is a wonderful feeling to love what we see when we look in the mirror. I am glad that after reading my experience with Smart Lipo, you are more hesitant to have it done for your back and upper abs. I really stress going the route of a healthier diet and more exercise. It has been the only solution for me after the nightmare I created two years ago. I have finally started to see a semblance of my old physique only after going straight Paleo/Primal with my diet and doing heavy weight training. I no longer count calories, but have to watch carb intake. I have become very neurotic and depressed at times, but I finally feel like I have some control over my body and the massive weight gain post-lipo. Best of luck to you and enjoy your fabulous flat tummy!

Hi Tigger. I am so happy to hear that you are making a physical and emotional comeback after many years of disappointment and desperation. I applaud you for finding a way to make you feel optimistic again. Thank you for sharing your story.

I wish you all the best and keep us updated on your progress.

Hi Natalie. You are an angel. I really appreciate your kind words. I hope you are doing well and gaining strength every day. Stay optimistic and positive. Big hugs.

Hi Natalie. It took a lot of inner strength to post these pics. But I felt compelled to do it realizing just how far these images can reach. Thank you for your continued support and inner/outer beauty as well. It really has helped me through some very tough days. I wish you all the best in this never-ending nightmare.

And to others, please feel free to ask me questions. But please no judgemental posts because I really won't tolerate it.
