I'm a 30 year old mother of 3. I've also had PCOS for 16 years. I'm pretty active and work out 5 days a week. Luckily I only gain weight when I'm pregnant or on fertility drugs. It's almost impossible for me to lose weight after though, no matter how many calories I am or am not eating. I am done having children now and I'm ready to change my body. I'm having a mommy makeover done exactly two weeks after circumferential liposuction. I was actually deciding between two doctors here in Utah, Dr Yates and Dr. Fryer. To be totally honest, I really liked the look of Dr. Fryers Breast Augmentations. After looking through all of the pictures I could though I decided that Dr. Yates tummy tuck scars and Liposuction are much more phenomenal in my opinion. I went with Dr. Yates and here I am 6 days post op. Thigh liposuction is a lot harder recovery than I thought it was going to be. Hopefully I'm feeling much better before my next surgery. I'm already down two inches on my thighs even with all of the swelling so I'm pretty happy about that. He ended up taking 5 liters out and I'm so happy he did!

Hi I would like to know how you are managining your pco and do you have acne?
December 21, 2014
Hey, I actually have never had acne. I'm one of the lucky ones. My cycles were typically 30 to 60 days apart. I have PCOS with insulin resistance as well. I was on metformin for a month to a month and a half but the side effects were KILLING me! I found this natural medication that in clinical studies does the same thing as Met but without the shitty(pun intended) side effects. The medication is D-Chiro inositol, I get it from chiral balance online. My fasting blood sugar went from 105 when I first started it to 83 the day of my surgery, around 5 or 6 months later. After sucking out all the fat we did on the lipo my blood sugar is down to 77. When we have pcos our bodies are unable to break down inositol into D-Chiro inositol. That's what we are lacking so that's what we need to put back in. My cycles are now 28 to 30 days. It's nice because I used to have pms for like three weeks before I'd have my cycle and now I'm a lot more mellow. I also started working out about six months ago. I lifted weights 5 days a week. That has probably helped with my pcos and insuline resistance too.

Ive been on here reading about thigh lipo for over a month. Can not believe i just found your post. I had stomach lipo 10/31/16 and am having outter and antierior lipo done on 11/14/16. Someone else mentioned there aren't many thigh procedures posted on RS and they are right.
You look fantastic! Im so happy for you and you've given me hope for my procedure.

My legs are still pretty tender. The bruising looks like it's finally getting a little better. I'm still pretty swollen but to be honest I wouldn't care if this is the size I stayed. I love the contour and I love how my clothes fit. I'm hoping I'm not as sore in 5 more days when I have my mommy makeover done. I'd like to just worry about that and not how much it hurts to sit down, lol.

You are looking fantastic. It already looks like you're going to have a great result!

Awe, thanks you guys! Bella, I was actually debating on just having lipo done on my stomach but I want all of my Stretch marks gone and my muscles tightened back up. Yay!
Thank you caterpillar! From most of the stuff I've read, people are usually still over their pre-op size at this time. The fact that I'm already down two inches on each leg bodes well for me, I Hope!

You have a phenomenal body and i don't see where you would need a mommy make-over.

It looks great! I can see a big difference.

I want to add that my youngest son had a toe separation done by Dr. Fryer about six years ago with terrible results. I think you made a good decision.
November 19, 2014
Thank you! They told me that most people are bigger than pre lipo size and usually gain around ten pounds after lipo but I actually went down in size and weight immediately, yay!
I'm sorry about your sons toe, that probably hurt a lot. That makes me feel better about my decision. I really felt like BA is all that he was good at. After looking at his TT pics I really don't like how he cuts or sews up. It looks like he has a lot of the dog ear overhangs on the edges and there is no way I wanted to deal with that.

Yes, it was a terrible experience. I think I can show you a photo through private message so you can see for your self. I feel horrible about it because now he is old enough to worry about how it looks. He was born with fused toes on both feet and he had the surgery at 5 months old. Had I known it would turn out terrible I wouldn't have done it. We thought we were doing a good thing obviously at the time. I haven't had any lipo yet but I understand it really hurts.

I wonder why people would gain after the Lipo? How much has your weight changed?
November 19, 2014
I would love to see a picture of it. My niece was actually born with only three toes on one foot. My sister was in a car accident when she was pregnant and they think that's when it happened. Her leg is actually shorter too. She's a cute little chit and it doesn't bother her luckily. :-)
People usually gain after lipo because of the water retention and swelling. I'm still actually pretty swollen too but I think I'm just smaller because we took so much out.

Is the skin sagging in the liposuctioned area at all? I'll take some pics of my sons toes when he gets home from school today. Hopefully it will let me send that to you through here in a private message
