Vaser Lipo on Abs and Flanks (Lovehandles)...the Good, the Bad and the No More Ugly?

WORTH IT$2,100
Well, as a happy 37th birthday to myself I scheduled my Vaser Lipo two weeks ago.
Today is the big day. I've been taking Vitamin K all week and started antibiotics yesterday. I was prescribed Lorezapam (sp) for pre-op anxiety but I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas so haven't had eaten any of those until just now. I go in at 2:00 which is in two hours, so I thought this would be a good time to post my "before" pictures (as if there is a good time to document this sort of thing LOL). Well, it wouldn't let me post until I could tell about the actual surgery, so here I am about 48 hours later.
Please don't read this account unless you plan to read the entire thing because I'm going to be brutally honest and there are parts of this that were unpleasant...well, awful. That being said, I can hardly wait to go back next month and have my outer thighs done.

Wow, girl! You look dang amazing! Congrats! I had the whole shabang done surgically 2.5 months ago and i havent dropped not one dress size...i just noticed that my clothes fit a bit better. However, it took me 2 months to get back into my (size 4-6). After the TT/FBL surgery - I had to buy big girl (sizes 8-10) - diff not what i expected! i'm very happy for you!

You are looking great!! You must be feeling so good. The plan is to get mine done in a few months but not sure if i can take the pain. My calves are troubling me. Are you in pain now?

My clothes are definitely fitting better. I am putting stuff in a Goodwill bag daily as I try it on and find it hanging. And, I'm still a bit swollen so I expect it will be slightly better over the next month or two. Of course, I would be thrilled to get into what you call "big girl" clothes. I am down to a 12 from a 14-16...

You can take it. Have you ever had a kid? I have a couple of small spots that are still 'achy' but today is my 2-week date and I played tennis last Wednesday just fine.

I know this is a old posting but, incase you still get the messages. Your results looked great on day 1 I liked it so much I emailed the doctor. Are you still happy with the results?

I am. The one thing to remember though is that, like with all lipo, if you gain a bunch of weight afterwards it will not go to the place you had done, but will go somewhere else. For example, my lower abs were always the problem area, my upper abs were fine. After having my lower abs done, if I pig out (um, holidays) I will gain weight in my upper abs now - not hideously or anything, but it does have to go somewhere. I'm just glad its there and not my neck or something LOL. Dr. Bill is great - please tell him Susanna referred you. Let me know how it goes for you!

Thanks for the reply and thats good to know. It seems no matter how much cardio, p90x or anything I do some areas just are very....... stubborn. I am waiting to hear from your doctors office now. One thing I find odd though every Vaser video I look at the people are awake and not in pain. If I remember from reading everything you posted you said it was painful. Was your second one painful as well? I wonder if it might be they made improvements since you had it done. At any rate thank you for taking the time to respond.

I did not find it painless. However, I am a big pansy and barfed up alot the meds also. It wasn't bad except when they accidentally bumped an area that was out of the numbed area then that hurt. I had a Valium and put on some headphones and put a blanket over my head so I could zone out as much as possible. I'll put it this way, if it had been that bad or not worth it I wouldn't have gone back for another procedure.

It was $2100 for the stomach, including the areas above and below the belly button and between the bottom of the rib cage and the top of my hips on both sides (flanks). I then paid another $1200 to have my outer thighs done. They turned out fantastic - much less cellulite also and the 'line' where my bottom meets the top of my thighs is much better defined.

I live in the same area as you, could you please give me the info on the person who did your lipo?
