Hey Ladies! I can't believe I'm actually doing this!! Sigh.. So over the pass year and a half, it's safe to say I just let my body go. I've gained over 20 lbs that I just need gone ASAP. So I've decided to take a leap of faith. My first step is getting smartlipo done on stubborn areas that seem to never go away with exercise and proper diet! I do workout hard Monday-Friday but still, that's not enough! Last January I weighed 146. 5 weeks ago I was 172 and today I am 164. I'm starting to get back to where I need to be. Yay! I scheduled my appointment and paid in full- no turning back now!!! I'm excited but nervous.. Hopefully this will help increase the speed of me getting back to how I was. I cannot wait.

Hi ladies! So last night I posted pictures of me after I had dinner. Looking bloated and fat!! Now on days like today when I haven't eaten, fresh out of bed- I feel like this surgery isn't necessary! But really it is! Lol! One day I feel and look great then the next I feel fat. Today I feel skinny and I'm having second thoughts! Do I really want this??

you are built VERY similar to me, pre op..check out my pics... the only thing i would say is be VERY sure of your doctor...thinner people, like us require a more skilled surgeon to avoid irregularities..the slightest screw up could leave you very unhappy with your end result. go through your docs before and afters and try to find someone that has as little as yourself that was removed and look at the afters on them...if you cant find several small women to compare to..find a doctor that does have those examples...you need someone who is a wiz at sculpting, not just sucking out fat. hope this helps!

Thank you sooo much for those detailed tips. Trust me, I've done a lot of research. I've seen your photos and read through all of you updates, along with others on here and YouTube. I feel like Dr. Boutte is the best in my area, she had tons on GOODreviews and photos of other clients that I think are similar to mine. I haven't Stumbled upon any negatives. So I am quite content where the dr is concerned. I just need to get my mind right. I have 4 days left.. ;) yay..

You're gonna be so happy you did this. We have similar builds (athletic tum) and I'm SO happy. We will be there every step of the way so don't hesitate to reach out. It's a bit of a roller coaster ride but a good one. I'm 1 month post and so happy I did this. I am not fully healed and sometimes feel like a guy (no waist) but much happier than before surgery. I'm SO excited for you!!

I see what you mean--you look good already. But people who are in great shape before and not too skinny seem to get really great results for this. I'm excited to see you on the other side!!!

Only a few more days!!! I'm excited for you. Make sure you have all the post op clothes. I wasn't prepared for that but I managed. Oh and get the arnica gel for swelling - huge help. Thinking of you!
June 23, 2014
Awwww, sandy that's so sweet if you!!!! I'm excited!! Post op cloths? All they told me to do was wear something comfy.. And some socks just incase It gets cold in the room.. Ok I will get the arnica gel, where can I get the it??

I work in an office and returned to work after a day off for the surgery. I had the garment and foam padding in my belly and I didn't have many clothes to hide it. The garment had zippers so I had to find clothes that were baggy and loose. I have stretchy jeans and since I lost weight last year I had some "fat clothes" left. That's what I mean by that. I don't know what I was thinking (or not thinking). And I didn't want to buy stuff I would only wear for a couple weeks. You've prob already thought of that. I get ARNIFLORA gel from whole foods or a vitamin store or from amazon (might be best since you've got some time). The arnica Montana pills 200x are also good. I used both and I had zero bruising. None. It's about $8 for the gel or the pills. Again I used both.

Yay! I'm excited for you. You sound prepared so good luck!!! Can't wait to hear how it goes. I'll be thinking of you!

You'll be glad you did. Especially with all the hard work you've already done. You are going to have a great result. Looks like you just had that stubborn little pad on your belly. And that will gone. Be religious about wearing the compression garment afterward, and get right back to the gym. I also recommend lymphatic massage 1-2 times per week for a while after to keep your belly smooth and flat. Otherwise fluid can accumulate and you can get lumpy. You don't want that. You are almost perfect! Good luck!
