I've been super fit my entire life and had a slamming body...up until about 5 years ago. Working in a mentally and emotionally abusive work environment + working on Masters degree full time + being lonely = weight gain. Despite my best efforts, the bulges will not go away, and I'm sick and tired of being forced to wear spanx all-the-time!! I'm tired of waiting to look the way I am supposed to so I am getting lipo (hips, flanks, upper/lower abs, inner things & knees). I plan to use the procedure to jump start further weight loss - since I am too ashamed to be seen in the gym as is now.

Is it normal to have second thoughts?
Excitement is already keeping me up at night! True to form, I was having second thoughts on the doctor I chose. My husband reminded me about my habit if returning things/changing my mind due to anxiety. He reminded me about what would've been my most expensive return- I tried to cancel/return a custom made couch after it was already being made. I stuck with our original choice and am glad I did.

I'd say it was normal yes! !! I'm four weeks post Vaser to my upper and lower abs and flanks.
The day of the procedure was terrifying and I could easily have bottled out.
Very glad I didn't because for one thing, I'm chuffed with my results so far and secondly, the procedure really wasn't that big of a deal!
Hope it goes well for you

Yes totally normal. I had lipo on my stomach yesterday & flanks. I'm sore but am so glad I did it. Good luck:)

I think so. I did. And even after I had the procedure I was like, "OMG. What did I just do to myself!!" But, my body is healing, and I'm starting to see the results of his expert work. I had tons of swelling and edema around my hips and thighs and was freaked out. But that trauma from surgery just takes lots of time to heal- months, really. I'm a month out and am so excited about my new body. The one hour I can go without spanx, I put on bikinis and lingerie! You and I have similar body types/lifestyle. I'm curvy, but fit. I used to compete in sports so I was in better shape, but now that I'm older, I found it hard to get the weight off certain trouble spots. So, yeah, second thoughts, totally normal. For me personally, it was worth the investment.

My surgery is scheduled for March 11. Lipo on flanks abdomen inner and outer thighs. Breast implants with lift. I am super nervous now. Wondering if I should still di it. I am worried about loose skin and lumpiness that the liposuction could potentially do. I wonder if I should just be happy with what I got. Totally know how you are feeling.

I think it is normal to have second thoughts. I must say that I would be unhappy still had I not gotten lipo and I would be replaying that decision in my mind daily. Everyone is different though. Do you have pre-op pics? Can you achieve your desired look with diet and exercise? If so, are you willing to go through that process? Are you better off getting the procedures..will you be happier, confident, comfortable? All things to consider!!!
