very nice. im getting it in feb and i hope it works! ill be posting it all online

Hi Crystal

Thanks for sharing I am going in on 12/30th happy new year to me
I am having my upper and lower abs and waist done... I am very excited and am very active with hiking and the gym as well. I had had my gall bladder out in April and my stomach went to SH** so i had decided to have this done. I had originally had the regular lipo about 13 yrs ago and had alot done in one sitting and ill tell you that hurt like hell it had felt like someone beat me with a bat!!! and standing felt better than laying down or sitting... in the thigh area .. Everyone's body is different and heals differently and it took about a year back than for my skin to reattach to my body again (No Joke) from your posts I am convinced this is gonna be a painless procedure and I can't actually wait Thanks for sharing all you have its been a great relief ! Jade

Congrats on the date! I bet the previous on hurt. My mom had the regular lip done about 7 years ago and I helped her for a week. She was hurting pretty bad. It is painful in the very beginning, but other than that.. it's a pretty fast recovery. I'm so thankfull!! Are you going to post a story? If so, send the link, I would love to read it.

Have a Merry Christmas, I'm sure you will :) :)

how do you get so many comments? im new to this site but ill be posting all my updates as i go.

so tell me have u had any negative things happen to your shape since the surgery? HAve u gained any of the weight back? was it still worth it?

thank you for sharing your story. you look great. i am thinking of getting smart lipo done. your pictures are very encouraging.

hey, i just had smart lipo done yesterday on my upper and lower abdomen and my flanks/lower back. your pictures is what inspired me to go along with this procedure. im very sore, its hard for me to get in and out of bed, and i feel like i cant stand straight. when i took a shower i tried to massage my stomach area but it was too painful but they told me i need to massage it. I don't know if i will create a profile, or put pics up i mean my mom said i went down a lot, im 23 years old 5'5 1/2 and weight about 137, but i always had this little bulge right below my belly button and thats completely flat right now but i know its only the second day and the real results will come soon hopefully. do you recommend anything, the garment i have to wear is really uncomfortable.

@fren: you're very welcome. I tried to be a thorough as possible. It was hard for me to find a really good review before I went in myself. @natalie: GREAT! I'm so excited for you. Glad I could help :) I can tell a HUGE difference with mine. Although.. it took a good month or so for the swelling to start going down and to notice results. Taking weekly pictures will help you out, and it will show you the changes you may not notice at first. Looking back on my photographs, I can't believe I lost as much as I did. ( inches ) I was in slight pain too.. took several weeks to start feeling better. I bet you will get down to about 130 when u are done.. and the inches.. well it's crazy the difference i had.. especially in my thighs! My family didn't say anything until about 4 months after the fact.. then I got TONS of compliments fromt he family. Which they still don't know about the surgery! You will feel better with the garment on.. it will hurt less as the swelling resides. When it's off, you will swell! Even when weening yourself off of it. I recommend a ton of sleep, lol. I lifted myself with my arms as much as possible. But there really isn't much you can do for the pain besides the painkillers.. which I cut in half so I could have more for later.. and so it wouldn't knock me out! A half worked for me, then I had no pain but could function around the house. I tried to walk around every day to stretch my body too. Eat lots of fruits and veggies, and I wouldn't overeat.. I did that one time with that garmet and felt sick to my stomach right afterward!! It was awful. If you post, send me the link, I would love to keep up with your updates. :) Good Luck

oh, and Natalie, my stomach was really flat too, but my skin seemed a little lose right at first. Then, After several months.. it has REALLY tightened up.. I have a little area just from where I had the baby, but I'm very pleased. I could hardly stand up, and especially hurt getting in and out of the car, OUCH. ( my thighs! ) If someone tried to hug me hard, that hurt too, lol. But the first week and half is the worst... after that, it's a BREEZE!

Do you mind telling me who your doctor is? thanks..Very good results!

Did u have upper & lower abs done?

I think you already have an enviable body, but good luck, hope it all goes well!

crytal you have a nice body. and im sure you will come out beautiful

Thank you all ery much! I am updating w/photographs tomorrow. I'm excited!!! It was marked "abdominal" on the surgery paper and he did do both upper and lower which is fine with me, lol. I just paid for one fee for the abdominal. Post posting 1 day post op tomorrow.

Thank you for taking the time to do this & be so informative! I am "on the fence" about Lipo for the same zones you had done, so I am anxious to hear how you do. Please keep us all updated!
