So, like many of you lovely ladies on here, I have been an exercise junky for many years- In particular I love resistance training and pumping iron! I too,have also done crazy dieting in the past in pursuit of trying to attain 'the perfect body' ( it doesn't exist by the way!)...However, for me my hang up has always been having big legs, in particular my thighs- I always retain stubborn fatty deposits no matter what exercise and nutrition regime I engage in. These days I eat and workout sensibly -5 years ago I lost 20 pounds and I have managed to maintain this-( with the exception of a little gain at Xmas times, but It soon comes off again !) If my weight drops any lower than my set point - I start to look too gaunt , unwell and still have the stubborn thigh fat! ....Im fed up of feeling so self conscious & uncomfortable in clothes. I have a fantastic boyfriend who has been with me since I was heavier & he loves me whatever size , but he totally understands my frustrations & is supportive. So after much deliberation & research I am taking the plunge and am booked in for vaser lipo with Mrs Kat in Birmingham UK.I had consultations with two other Plastic Surgeons before deciding to go with Mrs.Kat. I'm super excited- but sure I'll be pooping my pants as my surgery date approaches- watch this space! ???? X p.s photos coming soon

Hi Ladies! So I had my final pre-op consultation with Mrs.Kat last week- I was able to ask any further questions that I had-It might sound a bit silly, but I was concerned that in my excitement to book in for my surgery, I had overlooked , that I would most likely be having my period on surgery day- ( yuk! poor planning on my part! ) ...she reassured me that this was OK and would be fine for surgery. I also asked how long I should wait before undergoing general anaesthetic again, as I will be having a surgical procedure carried out on my shoulder that I am keen to book in a.s.a.p with an orthopaedic surgeon.I was told that approx 4 weeks later would be fine, as I am in good health etc. My experience of Mrs. Kat & her Staff to date has been excellent- All information relating to my planned procedure has been clearly delivered through my consultations with Mrs. Kat & I have also been provided with an information pack including pre & post op requirements.All paperwork- consent forms & surgery agreement forms were sent through promptly. I have bought the recommended arnica ( for bruising) and have ordered a waterproof mattress cover & some disposable incontinence pads to cover the bed sheets, seats etc- ooh it's glamourous stuff! Lol! I have my pre op assessment at the hospital on Aug 18th & all being well surgery on Aug 21st - will update again then X

I found Mrs.Kat to be very professional and I was very comfortable discussing my proposed procedure with her. I felt that Mrs. Kat gave me an honest & realistic view of the results that could be achieved & I believe that these were realistically aligned to what I anticipated. Everything was clearly explained & any questions that I had were answered at my consultations- I actually met with her 3 times before my op! Mrs .Kat is understandably a very busy lady so although I saw her a few times our meetings were quite brief (that's the only reason I gave 4 stars). Overall rating is 4 as is still ongoing- All paperwork was sent through promptly & I was able to book my procedure in at the date I had planned for -which might have been luck, but was great none the less.I also found Mrs.Kats Clinic Staff & Theatre Team to be very polite, courteous & professional too-I had Natasha for my MLD massage at Mrs.Kats Clinic & she was lovely.At the time of writing this I am nearly 4 months post op- ( other reason I only given 4 stars so far) . I also have not had cause so far to phone or email the office other than to make appointments or ask a couple of questions, but my calls were always taken & dealt with well. I will be requiring a little revision / touch up on one leg but I am not overly concerned about this as overall the contours of my legs are soooo much better & I feel that I am in very good hands/ Thank you!
