I am more than ecstatic to say that I am finally getting my procedure done. I initially had my procedure scheduled 2 yrs ago, when i found out i was pregnant. Talk about luck! But now, after my beautiful son, I am less than 30 days out for my procedure! I am happy to say I am paying cash too!

The office itself has been more than friendly and accommodating to get me on that table! I think they are probably just as happy as I am to finally be getting my work done. I initially was going to be financing with one of the creditors they accept and almost went through with the procedure when i found out i was pregnant! The office understood my position and even sent the money back to the creditors! How awesome right? Now when i came back and was ready to go, it was just my luck that the creditors were no longer accepting my application probably because i had just bought a brand new car. bummer! but no, only a few short months later, I got my tax money and used the money I saved up, so now I am ready to get my procedure done and not be in debt afterwards! Even better situation!

I will be posting more updates coming close to D-Day, as well as some before pictures.

I will be getting liposuction to the abdomen, flanks, and (just updated) the back. initially I was going to get my arms, but I realized that the most desired appearance I want for my core was more attainable if I included the back, so the doctor's office allowed me to switch my areas.

Lack of Support System/criticism

Hello Everyone, So they say that the devil tries to steal your happiness, and this devil, I have been with for almost 10 years and it seems like he will do anything to keep my self-esteem low; reminding me that I will never look the way I want.

So here's what happens. I went to my Doctor's appointment, and I'm informing the nurse that I will be getting these procedures done. She tells me "oh that sounds familiar," low and behold she got the same procedure done. I was so excited to tell him, I was on the path of telling him that it was like a sign! and then he proceeds to tell me "Oh she's got a fake butt."

Being insecure, how would any of you others feel? I was so upset. Its like no matter what, he has to be the constant reminder that I am no where near perfect. It seriously kills me that I have a partner like this. Anyone else have a partner like this out there? Before (as in pre-op) when we would fight, he would come with the "blah blah blah... fat B***h" - i can already hear what it will be like after i get my procedure done.... "it doesn't matter how good you think you look, its all fake!"

Ladies, your thoughts and opinions would be greatly valued.

Did i overreact, or do i really have a douche bag boyfriend that I let keep me this low?

Oh honey....No. It's not you and you are not overreacting. He's being an [RS bleep]. if you think he is making you feel badly, he is! I hope your surgery gives you the confidence you need though I'm sure you are already beautiful. Take care...

You have a douche bag boyfriend. My boyfriend doesn't want me getting lipo either but he knows this is what i want & what's going to make me happy and he supports it. Y'all been together 10 years & he hasn't popped the question ? I say he's a waste of time. New body, new boyfriend lol

He's not for you sweetie. It seems like he doesn't even like you. Once you get your body together , you have to get your mind together also and realize you can do better than him. I'm happy for you

Oh he's is just not the one for you. No man is worth your tears and the one who is wont make you cry. Verbal abuse is just as damaging as mental abuse. Hopefully, in time, you will realize you can do better than him and his insults. I have smart lipo tomorrow and my boyfriend has been supportive even tho he says I am fine just the way I am.

I'm only 3 days post op and I'm so happy with my results so far. Now my doc warned me about the loose skin I would have in front from my already loose skin and the lipo done but gosh it still looks great to me!! My back area hurt a lot last night but I feel much better now. Also woke up with my face kinda swollen today but that's probably with sleeping on my tummy and face for a while
