Hi guys so it's been around 18 months since my procedure and wanted to give you an update.
So all in all I am sooooo happy I got the lipo done! Totally changed my life! Feel so much more confident and really has pushed me to become a fitter person too! Also now love the beach and don't feel self consious being there!

I have noticed that when I removed the fat from my belly that fat needed to go somewhere so I notice it goes to my arms and gave a little if I'm not on top of my gym and healthy eating regime.

I think dr Sanjay gave me my ideal tummy and it's up to me to maintain it. I noticed I had a little saggy skin above my belly button (he did tell me I would have this because of my skin type) and working out may help it. Well it has a great deal! If you look at the picture of me bending forward it's much better now and not noticeable that was a problem area. I now do cross fit and have noticed the biggest skin retraction from that as well as tightening of my core which is nice. Did try other forms of excersise but I don't think they were aggressive enough as I kindof plateued and wasn't toning.

So all in all think it's great to get the operation however it is up to you to maintain it and make the best of your new figure. Hope this helps! If anyone wants to ask any more questions please go ahead!

Looking great!!!!! I'm happy with mine, but last month I got back up to my pre surgery weight!!! Luckily my belly wasn't like how it was before, but it wasn't like how it was a year ago, nice and flat. Now I lost a bit of weight and working out more to get to where I was last year! I still think it has been the best decision ever! Glad to see you feel the same and are looking fabulous! :D

Hello!!!! So good to hear from you! Yes I went through that stage where I gained a little weight due to an operation I had to have last year as I couldn't exercise. However still didn't go to belly as much as arms and face. But working out helped get that down. It difficult to see from pics but I feel like im smaller now than the last pic taken, although i look smaller in the last pic taken. Its strange haha!

I think however maintenance is so key! I figured that out the hard way! How is life anyways??

I just read your review and wow I'm glad your story was a success! I just had my procedure 4 days ago and have been feeling pretty good but I've been nervous about my end result. I hope I am as flat as you at the end of my recovery!

Hi all,

Just a 5 month update. So far so good, around 3 months in I stopped wearing my garment and kinodf dealt with my body adjusting to the swelling, if it ever got really bad I would just wear it at night one or 2 times a week.

So now 5 months in. Feels like only yesterday and forever at the same time. I have been eating really really well the last month and a half, and I mean extremely well (i was healhy before but this is new level health). I am gymming 5 times a week- before I was going about 3 times and have one cheat day. I have noticed that the change up in my routine has really helped my body. Lost a dress size and everything feels and looks better surgery wise (so far at least). Think the blood circulation is helping with the healing. So far I cannot feel or see any lumps or bumps, but again only time will tell when all the swelling is gone in a year .

I will update again in a few months. If anyone has any questions feel free to message me xx

Hey gir! I being following your progress, any lumps or bumps still? I'm in my 9 week and still have like five of them and I'm getting frustrated. :( pls let m r know what helped! Thanks ! :)

Hiya! Thanks for following, not that I can see at the moment but could be under my skin, but at present I cannot feel any at the moment. I wrote a post about the hand massager from forever 21 and baby oil, thats all ive been doing plus working out really. I was going to do a lot more post care but my surgeon told me to let my body heal and just keep gently massaging. just keep at the girl, keep massaging and the scar tissue will break down.

Hi All,

Been a while since an update as vaser wise things have been pretty uneventful (which is a good thing). I see small changes every week, generally love the way I look compared to before which seems like a distant memory, I can't even remember what I looked like now or how I felt.

Things have been going pretty smoothly. For a very broad frame so I am pleased with how my vaser looks for my body. For people who are just getting this remember what your frame is and how it will look differently on everyone. I am really glad I now have a waist! Woohoo. I am still pretty much the same size as before but I used to be 74kg and I am now 61.5 kg. That is huge. I really like how the dr left some fat on my sizes and smoothed it to give me a more womanly curve on the side that goes beautifully into my legs. Lumps and bumps wise, I don't really feel like I have lumps per say. I do have this hard patch that causes a crease just above my belly button but I am massaging it every day and its becoming softer. It only really appears if I have sat down for ages in a forward position. Not noticible though nor would anyone really be able to feel it anymore.

I complained about a little bit of fat I felt that was left under my left boob, seems to be going down weekly and is not really noticeable anymore. Dr says swelling will persist for a while so will take time for all to settle. Generally I look very similar to 6 weeks out which I am happy with. I am a UK 10 still but clothes just look better on me and can wear a wider variety of clothes.

Went on holiday for 10 days and didnt bring my garment with me. Before this I was wearing it at night time. I think I swelled a bit there (especially on the flights) but had my binder so wore it about 3 nights. Came back and am wearing my garment to sleep in, otherwise gymming and everything without it.

Otherwise nada, I am really happy with my results. I think also since my vaser I have been really careful on what I put into my body and keeping up with my gym regime as whats the point in ruining what I have got done. I still have a cheat day but I cook a lot more. I am definitely eating better and am much more conscious of my body. I love wearing bikinis now and hanging out on the beach. Always loved the beach but felt like a baby whale now its my haven.

Any who if anybody has any questions for me let me know for sure and I will reply. Realself has been a godsend. Thanks for all the support.

Will do. I'm actually feeling awful. Things were looking good with my ex and I asked him if we were back together he said to take it slow. Then the next day he texts me that I'm too intense and he's scared. I haven't heard from him since Monday. I'm having a hard time accepting he doesn't want to give it another try :/ at least I know I won't have a problem getting a date and I know it's not bc of my Body too. Yay for the beach party. I can't wait to go to one.
April 26, 2015
Ugh men are so annoying! Just remember there's a reason hes your ex, if he cant accept you for the way you are then im 100% sure you will find some one who will! I know its easier said than done, but in the mean time enjoy your new body and lease on life . You look amazing regardless sooooo hes missing out!
