WORTH IT
Overall I'm doing well. The tenderness in my waist feels like a stretching burn especially when I get up from laying down, anyone experiencing this? I still get my massages and lymphatic drainage, probably because of like the me time. I will post her contact info in a picture, this is the same place that does custom garments

Im 13 day post op n my tummy doesn’t feel sore but Gawd, my waist and lower back are unreal with pain when I’m sitting or laying in bed
Are you doing the lympatic massages? 13 days post op you shouldn't have pain. The massages hurt but really speed recovery
No I’m not. I see my surgeon on Dec 1st for second follow up

Thanks I love it too
Hi was you stomach full of fat or muscles
Dr said it was both visceral fat and muscle so lipo couldn't take out the visceral
What is visceral?My stomach was big like your stomach was I went to several surgeon and they recommend me to get a sleeve because my stomach was majority muscles and my fat was behind it.I was advised from one surgeon that he can do a tummy tuck but my stomach not going to come out flat it will still be big which is a waist of money.2 surgeons didn't see any problem with them Lipo my stomach and put it to my butt but Fischer advice stuck in my head the most so I got the sleeve and I'm so much regretting it. I got it 9/08/2015,I did it because I'm ready to get my curves,flat,stomach and big booty.The complications and liquid diets now I have a very small stomach is really freaking me out,everything I drink hurts my stomach. I thought it was going to be like my csections which I had 5 of but no it's nothing like it at all
I previously had a partial tummy tuck but I got my tubes tied and then got pregnant a few years afterwards which my stomach had grew very huge and it stayed like that no matter how much exercise,dieting I did so I knew surgery could only fix it because everything I ate just sat right in my stomach area
Visceral is the fat behind the muscle that lipo can't reach. I love my new look but I would still like my stomach flatter. I'm starting the 21 day fix tomorrow to help get rid of the visceral
Hi yes that's part of why I got the sleeve I'm 3weeks still having complications but I'm down to 141lbs from 165lbs I'm at red lobster and can't even at more than 3shrimps without feeling sick I do think to myself and say I should of just got another tummy tuck then waited and got bbl with Lipo my stomach should of went all the way down from those procedures because I feel like this is torcher
Wow, is the sleeve permanent?
Yes I only can eat a lil bit I pray that in a long run it will pay off Cus I need to get my bbl I'm losing weight tho
