So far so good! Laser Liposuction performed 4/9/2015 - Alexandria, VA

Based upon several reviews here, I have selected Dr. Segev in Alexandria, Va. I had a breast aug 10 years ago. I had consults with my previous surgeon (he wants me to do a tt) and a consult with another local Dr. Who appears to be an over seller to me so when I met with Dr. Segev, I knew he was right for me. Background info on me, I had my first child when I was 21 and my next at 28. Totally flat stomach and no stretch marks has long been a faint memory for me. I have always been fairly small, 2-4 up to my late thirties and now size 6-8 in my forties. I have height on my side so I can disguise a lot but would be lying to say I don't see a full gut hanging over my pants now. I have stopped wearing form fitting dresses without a blazer because lower stomach looks awful in these types of clothes. I still receive compliments about my appearance but I know this is just not me anymore. I want to look much better and fit my clothes in a more svelte manner. I am not striving for perfection and I don't intend to be in a two piece so I am fine having lipo, a bit of loose skin, keeping my stretch marks, but having a smaller waist and no lower bulge. If I am dissatisfied with how my lower stomach heals then I will have a skin excision (mini tt) to remove that bit of skin. Dr. Segev said I will regain my curves and have a great outcome on flanks and upper abs and hopefully a good result on lower abs. I am vain but not overly and I just don't want to do full tt. Nursed my sister in law through it and I just don't have that kind of time to be down for the count. My daughter will take me and take care of me for the first few days and then my ex bf (great caregiver) has agreed to help take care of me through the weekend. Thanks to all of your reviews, I have been busy grocery shopping, preparing food, collecting the items needed for my surgery. I haven't gotten nervous yet but I am sure I will be a basket case tomorrow! Here I go searching an improved version of myself. I will upload before pics shortly.

Starting to feel jittery and nervous. Worried about hiding this from my teenage son. He is so engrossed in his video game, I hope he doesn't notice. I can't find my comfy, loose, zip hoodie so I am annoyed. All prayers as I head to the flat side are appreciated. I will update tomorrow if I am not delirious! Saying goodbye to this gut.... Woohoo!!
