So it is a few weeks on now. Actually despite what my Dr said, I am still seeing improvements. So that's good. But the main reason for updating is finally to get some pics posted! So this is pre-op and 10 weeks post op.
Hope you see a difference!! I still think my tummy looks weird but hey ho. It will do. Because NO MORE SURGERY!!

So here is a long overdue update... I think I have my final result. I was told that people are 95% there after 3 months and I haven't really seen much (if any) change since about 10 weeks post op. So here we are. What is my final(ish) verdict?
The Good: I look MUCH better in clothes. My stomach - which I HATED - is basically flat. My thighs are less out of proportion. Jeans fit better. I am wearing tight fitting clothes and feeling confident.
The Bad: The procedure was a LOT more invasive than I had been led to expect. I was told 2 days recovery! In fact it was weeks before I felt back to normal, and even longer to be able to train again. This is major surgery and it took a lot out of me.
The Ugly: My tummy is a bit uneven and there are a couple of creases. There is no doubt that when I am naked I look a bit odd. It does not look natural. At my review I was told that the outcome was 'very good' and that this uneven-ness was normal and that skin sometimes does crease. The surgeon said Vaser is an 'under-clothes procedure'. Now that is NOT something anyone had ever said to me before!! But that sums up how I feel, actually. Under clothes - even a swimsuit - it is all good. But bikinis are perhaps not the way to go!
I am not prepared to have any further surgery so this is now it. Overall I am happy, but it is not quite as straightforward nor as successful as I had expected it to be. Hope that helps anyone else considering this.
I will post pics as soon as the clinic sends them through.

Well said Sally - I have a few little issues with the clothes off as well - I'm astounded the surgeon said this is an under clothes procedure, that is crap if that's the case it should be said up front. I wonder how many would agree with this statement or is he just covering.....would be interesting to get a second opinion on the quality of his work. Glad your feeling more confident! Can't wait to see the pics!

So I am now almost 6 weeks post the abs and almost 3 weeks post the hips.... I look better in clothes for sure. But my belly is still quite uneven. I have my follow-up on 15th January so I can ask then whether that will sort itself out or not. Today I took the kids to a water park and felt great in a swimsuit! So that was nice. I am back in training which is good too. I was getting too used to being lazy! I can swim and cycle but can't run yet. The legs still hurt too much when I run, although there is no pain with just walking. The hips are still tender to the touch too. Any idea when I am likely to be able to run again? I have already missed one race and cancelled another :-(
Happy New Year folks. Here's to a body-confident 2013!!!!

Hi Guys... Back running. Hurray. Lumpy tummy smoothing out. Appt with docs for follow up has been changed twice so now I'm not seeing him till 30th Jan. This is for the first post thigh op check. Hmmm. Aftercare really isn't the greatest at this clinic....still I have no worries so that's ok. But what if I did have concerns? I can't wait to see the after pics. I honestly can't tell that I have had anything done to my thighs. Tummy - yes - HUGE difference. But thighs look like they have always looked - bigger than I'd like but nothing too bad. So I want to see the pics. I am well aware my body image is distorted! Clothes don't fit any better though I don't have that hideous gut spilling over the top of my jeans any more!
One thing really bugging me is my weight. I am now slightly heavier than pre-op. I have had over 3 litres of fat removed. Surely just that should weight a few pounds? I am eating healthy, have not drunk alcohol for a couple of weeks, am training regularly. Why isn't any weight shifting? I am considering trying the 5:2 intermittent fasting diet. But not sure I can fast and train? Anyone tried it? Good luck to all those having surgery soon or just starting recovery. It takes a while but we all get there.....

Oops that was supposed to be in updates not comments! Don;t know how to move it though.

Hi Sally - how is it going now. I hope you are getting the results you want by now. I'm like you I find it amazing how they can take 3 ltrs of fat out of you and your wt doesn't change - but the fluid weight from the swelling would account for some of that. It took about 8 weeks before I noticed a difference in my jeans. I can now (12 weeks) just slide all my old jeans on and feel so much better. I can now wear the stretch denim - I could never wear it before because I needed firm denim to keep my thighs pulled in as much as possible. Would love to hear from you hope it's all going well.
