*Le sigh* I'm currently one month post-op and I'm regretting this entire thing. I feel like I'm not moving towards the results I expected and I just look exactly the same. I'm on this site religiously looking at similar people who've undergone this procedure and I'm just not convinced that my results are the norm. Shouldn't I be seeing some improvement? I don't feel swollen At All. I look exactly the same as I did during my consultation.... That's shouldn't be. I totally understand that I won't have my "final" results at this stage but I don't see any results so far. I highly doubt that I'm going to wait up 6 months from now and just say "hey, it worked!" I have my 1 month post-op appt today. I want to know how much fat was removed and why I'm not seeing any improvements. I feel like even though I got an accredited surgeon to safely perform my procedure he may not have been the best one for the job. Wishing I'd gone with another surgeon, wishing I'd saved my damn money, many people on here have gotten better results for half my costs. Smh so depressed. What a waste.

Had my one month post op appt yesterday. They basically told me to give it 2 more months which I'm fine with. I've love to see something happen as a result of all of this. Until then I'll keep working out and eating healthy. I'm done 5 pds so far (140).... 10 more to go.

So I finally got a hold of my records (I wanted to know how much fat was removed during my liposuction). My surgeon has been out of the office since my surgeon, he informed that he was having a surgical procedure. Anyway...he only removed 1 liter from my back and flanks area. Keep in mind that 1 liter also included the solution he had to insert for the procedure. So essentially he removed a approx a pound or a little more from the back/flanks area. Not to say that I'm fat but I definitely had and still have more than a pound of fat to give. So I'm full blown upset with my procedure now. A pound of fat? I could've done that on my own without his "help". My records don't state how much was removed from abdomen, although I feel that it'll be the same amount of fat based on my results. I'm entering month 3 now. I see him at the end of July and I can't wait.
No need to post follow-up pix. I look exactly the same and so are my measurements. According to his covering surgeon I'm "still swollen"; although I neither feel nor look swollen. My body looks just the same as it did pre-op.
