Hi Mgallagator~ I'm feeling a little better today. I went in for my follow up this morning, and the doctor said I am healing well. I think that perhaps it was the swelling, I am starting to see a difference now (one week out). Yes, I am in an xs garment, and now doc wants to put me in a double xsmall!! I don't know if I can get myself into that size, but I guess I should follow doctor's orders and attempt to squeeze into it. As long as I can take it off periodically for a breather. Thanks for the support, it means more than you could ever know :)

Well I did it. I was so nervous, but once they gave me the valium I was more relaxed. The doctor and staff were great. The nurse named Anita was really wonderful. However, I feel as though the image I had in my head of how I would look is making me depressed. Depressed because this was a costly procedure both in money, and stress it caused within my family. I keep reading that it takes time for the results to be obvious, and I am hoping that this is the case for me, but I think I still look the same. I see a small difference in my waist line, but the side view of my abs looks the same (yuk) and those big fat love handles still appear to be there. Perhaps it is swelling. This compression garment is the pits, it is very uncomfortable and difficult for me to breathe, I am wondering if they put me in the wrong size (XS) perhaps a small would have allowed me to breathe. Thanks for responding to my post. I will post periodically about the image I see appearing or not. Perhaps this procedure only works wonders on some and not others.

I am scheduled to have Smart Lipo on upper and lower abs/love handles with this same doctor. I am getting rather nervous about the whole thing and I am hoping for positive results.
