So I have been doing research on smart lipo for awhile now and I'm finally ready to go through with it. I'm so nervous but excited at the same time. My date is set for Nov. 3. I have prayed and prayed about the doctor I'm going to use and I feel it in my heart I have made the right choice. I have heard bad things about Dr. Boutte but I have also heard more good than bad. I'm comfortable with my decision and know she's going to get me right lol. I'm 5'10 and was 218lbs but I have been working out so now I'm at 213 and plan to be down to 200lbs by the time of my surgery. Do you ladies suggest I get an extra compression garment? If so where? And what do you guys suggest I pack? I will be flying into Atlanta Nov. 2 and was told I should stay 7 days. I will try to upload a few before pics within a few days!

omg I am so excited for you. please advise if the procedure cost in Atlanta? I currently shopping for Dr.s in Chicago. They are pricing me at 5000 an area 10k for my full stomach and 3k for arms

Thank you and I paid $6,000 total for upper and lower abs, bra roll, lower back, love handles, and mons pubs (cooch area) I think she charge $1,500 per area but your upper and lower abs is based off your BMI.

Wow! Thanks for the fast response. Once again I am so proud of you!... I'm reading your thread now to refrain from asking duplicate questions but

How long did you stay in ATL
Did you travel alone/ could you travel alone?
How long before you can return to work?

Your time is greatly appreciated

No problem, that's what I'm here for, to help! I stayed in ATL 5 days, I got there Wednesday, surgery was Thursday and came home Sunday. My flight was only an 1 hr long but my mom and fiance was with me. I would recommend having someone with you because you will need help. I was able to move around on my own though I just couldn't snap my garment on my own. I'm not sure how long before you can return back to work, I make my own schedule and crippled myself the first week which was a mistake! You want to make sure you stay moving.

when you go through with it let me know how was the pain and how long was the pain and how it take to get better

Hey sweetie, I had my surgery 2 weeks ago today! I guess I have a high pain tolerance because I had no pain, I was more uncomfortable than anything. I had a lymphatic massage done today and it felt great! Eventho I didn't have pain I still didn't feel like myself but I felt normal again by day 8. I do get a burning sensation every once in a while but its tolerable, nothing too painful. You mainly just have to be mentally prepared for the surgery.

I'm happy with my results BTW!!! Lol
