For years I have yoyo'd with my weight. But no matter how much I've lost (the most was 50 lbs in 3 months), my problem areas have NEVER gone away. I can never stick to a workout/healthy eating lifestyle because I work my butt off just to have no changes. I lose weight but the gut and back rolls don't go anywhere. I'm going to have my upper/lower abdomen, waist (including posterior), and bra roll done. I want a close to flat stomach! Whenever I workout, I can shape my arms, thighs, and butt just fine. So I'm hoping with this procedure I can move on with getting fitter and feeling good in my own skin.

Have you considered a tummy tuck? You'd get better results immediately! And it's not that much more than what you're paying for the liposuction I had one done in 07 and honey let me tell you I never wore shirts lol think about it tho I see too many mixed liposuction before and after and you look like all belly plus with the tummy tuck if your weight fluctuates it won't sit on your stomach a low sugar diet will fix them back rolls

Thanks for the advice! But no. The tummy tuck is a little too invasive for me right now. I haven't had kids. And I'm really active in the gym when I'm on it! So I'm leaving the rest of the responsibility on me. It is something I would consider in the future though...maybe 15, or 20 years from now

Day of treatment

Surgery day!!

Nurs2012
Hello everybody!! Surgery day was today from 1 pm to 5 pm. I had my upper and lower abdomen done along with the waist and bra roll. I'm still numb all over the midsection . The only little pain I have is from the tape they put on the gauze. Pain in a 3/10. I have some swelling of course. I will upload pics on Friday. That's the first day I'm allowed to take off my garments and shower!!!

Day 1 post op

Nurs2012
Hey y'all!! It's day 1 post op! I'm a little sore, but that's mostly from the tape holding the bandages pulling on my skin. My pain is a 3/10. I have only a little itching. I've only taken 1 Norco 10 since 6am and a 500 mg Tylenol. If anything I'm just a little sleepy from the pain meds. I've been up walking around the house. I've done some laundry. My mama had been here to help me just in case but she hasn't had to do much. Drainage has been moderate but overall things are going great! Can't take my garments off anf take a shower until tomorrow. I can't WAIT!! The doctor called me last night to check on me, and his asst called me this afternoon to see how I am doing!

Wow you are looking good. Can't wait to see with your garment off. I'm doing just Lipo and bbl and opted out of the tummy tuck for now and I'm shaped as your before pic so I'm excited to see your results. Glad surgery went well.

I just posted the pics from this morning! ☺

Hello, so what surgery did you have , lipo or tummy tuck?
March 19, 2017
Smart lipo
March 19, 2017
What is smart lipo? I really trying to decide what to get, tummy tuck, laser lipo or regular lipo. I don't know anything about smart lipo.. thank you
March 19, 2017
Smart Lipo uses 3 steps..tuminescent (numbing )fluid is injected, then the fat is lasered and liquefied, then it's ducked out
March 19, 2017
*sucked out
