Good start! Worth it!

WORTH IT$10,000
Day after laser Lipo on my upper n lower abs, waist and love handles. I’m alive .Could not pee for 12 hours, but that’s all functioning now. Very hard to get in and out of bed. The Lipo part was a breeze, but there was some pain when he injected me w numbing solution. But each time I made a face; Dr Dexter Blome stopped and had them give me more Demoral. I ended up with 200mg instead of the 25mg they originally injected. He said I was the most sensitive he’d ever had.Overall;Dr and assistant made me feel very comfortable. Played music and Dr let my grandma and sister come in a few different times so they knew I was ok. Im sore today, but doped on Vicodin ; so gonna relax. Took 30 min walk w grandma earlier. Back in bed.

No leaking of any kind. Took first shower. Sore, but see small change already. Back in the body suit.

Did you have trouble with swelling at all?
November 17, 2017
I did not realize more swelling was coming like day 4. The numbing fluid has worn off , so your body starts retaining water to compensate for the fat removed. Im just really sore. Dr called in more codeine

You look great! How does it look now? Are you happy with the procedure? I am scheduled for November 28! I’m nervous
November 17, 2017
Dr said I will swell more before It stops and goes down, so he swears I’ll look much better in 1-2 months. Said to not get married to what I look like now. Just be patient and wait

Stacey who was the doctor you saw? Do they have different ones? Did you feel like they knew what they were doing? I am so scared

Dr Dexter Blome. Oldest and most experienced in the Houston office. Elite Body Sculpture. There is another Dr in that office with great reviews, but I chose Dr Blome because he had so many more years experience. He’s very nice too

No girl I am in Baton Rouge! Was going to fly into Houston! They said I could fly the next day! I have business meeting in California so I need to fly out on the 29! What are your thoughts?

My honeymoon is over Christmas holidays and I was trying to get it done before then! I have been reading nightmare stories about lumps in the stomach and burns on the skin! Starting to freak out when I was jut trying to educate myself on the procedure

I would say do it when u can stay home or work from home for a week. I had more pain on day 4 and 5 when then numbing stuff wore off. I think I’m tough and I was really sore. I have a half marathon in Jan so that’s why I had to hurry n do mine so I can heal

I am going to elite in piston where you went! My body type is similar to yours before- with a few lil extra rolls on my end! Lol
November 17, 2017
Good for you! That is awesome! I have just started running myself! Clears my head. I fly to Cali the day after but come home on that 5th day! Then I’m home for a few weeks. What does your stomach look like now?

Oh boy. Sooo the swelling is increasing. Not so much to tell by the eye, but I’m more tender and the compression garment feels tighter. It hurts to lay down, sit ( so I’ve been at my standing desk for two days). But I’m gonna have to miss work today cuz I haven’t slept enough. Im sooo sore. They say the swelling increases during the first week, then it stops. So I’m gonna medicate today and sleep some; do my 30 min walk later; and try to get some errands done. Getting into my small SUV to drive is even uncomfortable. The compression garment pushes up into my upper chest too much when I sit. I didn’t eat super healthy for a few days so now it’s time to start with my big changes to eating less fat. Still can’t workout. Unbearable at the moment.

Did it work
January 15, 2018
yes, but I’m still healing and I’m upset about that. I have fluid built up in lower back and I swell up when I don’t wear the compression girdle. so although recovery time to go back to work in a few days. but clearly the laser is so traumatic to the tissues; the recovery takes forever
