30 Yrs Old... Ready to Get my 22 Yo Waist Back (Lipo of Abdomen and Full back) - Atlanta, GA

Truly not happy with the results. My back rolls came back months ago, and my lower abdomen never flattened out. I wore my garments and used my ab board faithfully. I went to the office about 2 weeks ago to see what options I had for gettimg it redone. The Doc was out of town, so the staff just weighed me and took pics. They couldn't tell me what my options were without having seen the doctor. So I go to the front desk to schedule an appt for whenever he returned from vacation. The receptionist tells me that it would cost $100 just to see him. Really? After spending $8k already? That's absurd! Especially when there's a possibility that he can't even do it due to scar tissue. Waste of money for me.

I've been putting my navel ring in once a week, just to make sure my hole doesn't close.

(Side note: my friends hate that I still have one, but my stomach looks so bare to me without it. Lol)

It opened up my eyes to my results so far, because now I can actually see the whole thing! Check my before pics, and you can see how the bottom of it was pretty much hiding inside of my navel. Lol.

This post is really random, I know. But I was starting to feel like my shape was at a stand still. So this just gave me a bit of hope. It's hard to tell the changes some times when you're looking in the mirror every single day. I know I still have a long way to go.

Im one day shy of being 3 weeks post op, and today I got my first lymphatic drainage massage. I decided to get a membership at Massage Envy because there's one right by my house, and they have them all over the country. So that works out great if I'm traveling. And might I add... their customer service was awesome!! From the front desk to the massage table. My therapist was so knowledgeable with the lymphatic system. She could obviously feel everything that was going on underneath my skin, because she knew exactly what to focus on without me having to tell her. It was painful, but felt great all at the same time. This was my first massage ever, and I just wish i could get one every day. Lol. I just hate that I would only be able to see her once a week due to our schedules, but hopefully the next person I get is just as good. (I plan to go twice a week) It's probably all in my head, but it seems like whatever she was doing is working already. I feel like the massages (plus the ab board that I got in the mail today) should have me all the way flat sooner than later.... Well at least I hope so. Hope you all are doing well out there!
