I have always struggled with my weight.. was very obese as a child/young teen. I eventually lost the weight and developed an eating disorder. I was addicted to laxatives.. I still am actually. It's gotten to the point where I cant use the bathroom without taking 10-12 laxatives. I wont take them and a week will go by with nothing. My weight fluctuates so much. I am not super unhappy with how I look.. I just know I can look so much better and with this eating disorder I feel like its a vicious cycle and I will never get there.
I am getting D cups put in, as well as Smart Lipo to my lower/upper abdomen, flanks and arms. I am hoping this operation will give me a clean slate and fresh mind state so that I can focus on getting healthy all around, rather than obsessing and making bad choices.
I am so nervous.. reading all these reviews and experiences from other people have me not knowing at all what to expect.

you must get your eating disorder in check...i'm sure you already know this. as far as surgeries go..you will LOVE the boobs....i've got them and they are like heaven....i just had smart lipo a couple of weeks ago and it was a breeze...the recovery is kind of long in terms of wearing garments and being tender to touch, but otherwise..no biggie....keep us posted

I can not agree with jamieswifey more. The lipo was a piece of cake for pain, bruising, and recovery. I am sure u will look great afterwards. Good luck.

Does your doctor know about the laxatives? My auntie was addicted to laxatives as well but I can honestly say I don't know how she ended up resolving it. I think it's something very important to get a handle on with your doctor. If they give you any kind of real pain meds, they will make you constipated, so you definitely want to talk to your doctor before that happens!

Hi nervousgirl1989
You're gonna love your arms after smart-lipo. I had mine down 8 days ago with minimal downtime,bruising and or pain.
I honestly don't think you need D cups but this is just my opinion. Your abs are also not bad but once you have it done i think your breasts will look even perkier than they already do. they definitely don't need a lift. I don't think you need your arms done. Abs and flanks i get but you look good in the areas you want done. Hmmmm.
No need to be nervous although i was due to my high blood pressure that day. Try to relax and have whoever is driving you to make jokes,make you smile and laugh not be upset,stressed or sad. Your mental state matters,as it affects your physical,which it did for me.
Smart-lipo on arms was a breeze. I look forward to your updates after your procedure.
Prayers to you and get rid of all the negative thoughts. You will look great.

Tell the doc about the eating disorder before you go any further. Not only does he need to know before he works on you, he will be able to help!
BTW, I think your boobs are fabulous! Perky. Perfect. And just the right size if get the smart lipo! I have fake ones - D cups - and I'm really sorry I got them. Way too big for my frame. Miserable when running. And I lost all sensation in my nipples.

day before surgery
NervousGirl1989July 4, 2014
so i arrived at the plastic surgery clinic and was super impressed.. it was absolutely gorgeous and professional. we have nothing like this in canada. so i tell the doctor about my eating disorder and he decides to do an ekg test on me. the results came back and apparently i have hyper kalemia i think its called. basically an irregular heartbeat and too much potassium.. which makes them nervous to do the surgery bc they were nervous i wouldnt wake up from the anesthesia.
i felt super conflicted.. firstly really frustrated that my family doctor at home in toronto didn't check into these tests when i have had an eating disorder for like 6 years now. was glad that dr.hedden was so thorough and wanted to get to every detail of what was going on in my body.
i was also very very very upset about the way the process is for out of town patients. i disclosed to them in my online physical and medical history paperwork about this eating disorder.. and i have to wonder why nobody followed up with me on this at that time. i guess nobody even reads it. i feel like if they read it ahead of time they could have gotten me to do what i needed to be in top shape for surgery. that being said... very pleased with the doctor and his thoroughness.
they did more tests and i was then approved for surgery.
the pictures im loading are from the day before my surgery. soo terrible but i used to weigh 150lbs and since i booked my lipo i gained 17lbs. i know thats terrible.
these 2 pictures are from the day before my surgery
