Excited and Nervous, Don't Know What to Expect! Crowley, LA

I have been considering lipo for years. Even...
$4,500
I have been considering lipo for years. Even before i had my child, and she is five. I have always been heavy set even when i was younger. Most of my weight is in my stomach. Over the years i have tried to lose weight and been somewhat successful. I started out at 242lbs at my heaviest and now i am 217.2 as of this morning. There may be some thyroid issues that are the cause of my slow weight loss but my doctor is looking into that. I don't expect to have a completely flat stomach. I just want my bottom abdomen do be gone and the top to be not so prominent. I have little legs so that isn't a concern..lol I am so nervous seeing as how this will be the first surgery i have ever had..EVER! Any advice or tips from you guys would be greatly appreciated. I am doing my upper and lower abdomen and i guess u can call it my muffin top on each side. I will try to keep updating as much as i can. My pre-op is March 7th and surgery date is set for March 15th.

Two more weeks!!
Only two weeks till my surgery. I'm so nervous and can't wait to see the end results. I know what i would like but i don't have any big unrealistic expectations. I have a large stomach so i know it won't be flat. I just want a lil improvement and kick start for more weight loss. I'm trying to get the courage to post my pics..ugghh until then, i will find some wish pic lol!

I want to get lipo too I am 234 and I have been going to the gym and im not losing a lot I also have a thyroid issue so I know my metabolism is working slow there is so much I would want to do my stomach, legs, arms butt you know it I am only 5 feet tall how much are your going to pay

i'm so happy u commented on my post. I can never find anyone that is close to my size! I'm 5'1 and 217lbs. So i always try to find someone in the same range so i can get an idea of what results may look like, even though i know it's different for everyone. I'm paying $4,500 for my upper and lower abdomen and love handles. My thyroid is an issue too, that's why i;m giving myself this little boost. I like my legs so i'm not touching them. If i ever do anything else it would be my bra roll under my arms, but i will see what i can work off myself first.

I live in the LA county so I hope I can find a good Doctor when the time comes gee wish there was gofundme to help but quess there is a lot of people with serious issues than what I want but I have knee issues cause im heavy
March 4, 2016
yeah i thought about doing gofundme also, but i felt guilty knowing other people on there needed money for more serious things. so i didn't do it.

I think you look great! I do understand though. I just had my first child and would like to have another before I consider any surgery. I hope it all goes well for you and that you enjoy your results! Good luck!

before pics
So I finally built up the courage to post some before pics....
Keep us posted! I hope you post some before pics of your abdomen. The best tip I can give you based on what I read is to be patient with your healing and with seeing any results. You will be swollen for a while and that is totally normal!
You should look at our resource roundup and guides to help learn more about the recovery and to help you prep.
