I'm 36. 5'5" and 160 lb. I gained 25 pounds 3 years ago and can't lose the weight for the life of me. No matter what I do it won't come off! Most of the weight is in my belly. Having based liposuction on my upper n lower abs, flanks, and hips.

I'm not an optimistic person so I'm not expecting the world from this procedure. Just want to look and feel better.

It's all happening very quickly, which is good because I'm impatient and don't want to wait. I've been thinking about this for a long time and made my decision. I had my initial consultation on 1/24, get labs tomorrow, pre-op is on 2/5, and procedure is on 2/15. Haven't even met the Dr yet but have been researching him and reading reviews about him. All good. So I guess it'll be ok.

My preop appointment is in two days. Correction to my first post. I'm getting Vaser lipo.

I've found this site to be so helpful to me. I hope my reviews help others. I'll take pics later. After I get the courage to do so. I'm a very modest person when it comes to showing my body.

Looking forward to following your journey!  Are you doing anything now to prepare for your procedure?

I'm not doing much to prepare besides research, research, research. I already eat healthy, walk at lunch, go to the gym 2-4 times a week, and I'm a weekend bicycling warrior - try to go on long rides every weekend if I can. I look forward to sharing my experience with others. I hope it's helpful to those reading it.

I'm sure it will be very helpful to other users.  Here is a link to a pre-op shopping list and some other good info :)

Pre-op appointment

So I had my appointment this evening. It was interesting. I didn't meet with the doctor. I did meet with a very nice young woman who said she was a medical assistant. She answered all my questions about the doctor, the procedure, recovery, follow up care, etc. Apparently at Athenix you don't meet the doctor until the morning of the procedure. Hmmm. Interesting...

She took pictures of me, measured me, and weighed me. Then we looked at the pictures and she drew on them to show me exactly what they would be doing and where.

So I guess that's it. The procedure is two Saturdays from now. Guess I'll meet the doctor, get my compression garment, and have the procedure done then.

Oh. And Apparently I will only see the doctor one time post-op then the rest of my follow up appointments will be with staff. Is that how it is everywhere? The staff is nice and all, but really? Oh well, that's how profits are maximized I suppose. Makes sense from a business perspective.
