So until I hit 30 I was very happy with myself . Yes I had stretch marks from having two babies but I'm ok with that the part I'm now not ok with is the fat on my belly that no amount of workout will change ( cause believe me I've tried!) at 35 going on 36 I can't walk by the mirror without hating what I see :( So I'm going to change it !! Surgery doesn't really scare me nor does recovery . But it's a lot of money ! Still I'm booked ! October 20 ( a day after my 36th birthday) I'm going in !!

For m e the recover had almost two stages. Immediately afterward I was fine; no dwelling, no bruising, and no pain. After I was fully awake, about 36 hrs later, it was shopping, eating out, and visiting relatives. At about 4-6 weeks the lumps and hardness set in. The lymphatic massages had done nothing for it. I bought an electric massager and massaged aggressively 2-3 Times a day for 10-15 minutes each using cocoa butter. At six months most of the problem subsided. I was wearing the CG or corset 24/7 and some days I still wear one or the other for swelling. I hope u r one of the lucky ones that just has my phase one. Good luck.

Thank you :) you know I've been to four doctors and they all say I need a TT , cause after 2 kids they say my rectus muscles are pulled apart and I need to have that fixed for major results ! But I'm not really looking for MAJOR results . I just want rid the fat I can't seem to burn off from my belly . When I was 30 I had a flat stomach ( that's 7 years after my second child !!) if I was going to need a TT it would have shown up a long time ago I think . I think I would be more unhappy with the scar from the TT than having a fat belly I delivered both my kids naturally and have no scars ( besides stretch marks) so I'm going with what I feel is right for me and my body :)

I just created a check-in forum for everyone having lipo in October- feel free to post there and make some recovery buddies who will be on a similar timeline:

And keep us posted these next few weeks- are you all prepped and ready?  Also I agree with Bella that if you money for the chin lipo you should just go for it- why not, you will already be recovering.

So I have 8 days left till I go in for lipo if the abdomen flanks and neck ! I still have things to get and do in between running my grooming business and taking care of two teenagers while my husbands in camp ! Need bloodwork done need prescriptions filled for after need to book someone here with my kids for my days away ( my husband will be with me at that time :) ) I have MANY animals so need to prep everything for while I'm gone . Getting a little scared just want it all to be worth the pain trouble and money
