Asked By:Ruth86 in Courtenay, British Columbia, Canada

Hey all- I'm unsure of what to get. After many years of dieting and excerise and stubborn fat around midsection I'm going to get one of these procedures. I haven't had children aabut have belly that's resistant to budging. If I bend over it flops over. I've gained and lost weight in and around 25 lbs up and down since young and once about a 50 lbs. don’t plan to have children. Just don’t want to get TT if lipo will do!
