33 years Old, no kids, and a much needed suction of the fat. A little bout my self........first thing Hello RS ppls, i have been stalking this website for a while and now i can finally become part of the family with my upcoming procedure.

Im 5'9, i weigh 151Lbs, i have always been active and a former athlete, actually i had been rather skinny until these last 2 years (i.e. i couldnt gain a buck over 110-118 lbs)... my mom says its my adult weight and that it just took me extra long to get it!! : )..... Ive been the too skinny, need a cheese burger type of girl all my life and not on purpose. But lately i had been happy with my new thickness until i realized i dont know how to control it, my usual dieting and extreme workouts dont work on all my areas like they use too. Leaving me with a problem with my mid-section, my legs and calf are tone and muscular, along with my arms and shoulders and upper back, but this pesky stomach and love handles will be the death me...... until i decided to take control!

I mainly am looking to look better in my clothes without my love handles poking out through them. My procedure was going to be the end of April on the 25th, until i got a phone call today in regards to a canceled procedure and now i get to move my date up to the 15th!

I cant wait, ive read every comment on here and questioned my doctor to death. I feel this is the help i need so that i can see some killer results once i get back to my workout regimen. I will be having my upper and lower stomach, upper and lower back, and waist/love handles.

My Plastic Surgeon uses both the "SMart Lipo" and "Vaser Lipo". She uses the Vaser because it helps with removing large quantities of fat faster than the "Smart Lipo" and then she goes back with the "Smart Lipo MPX" to better sculpt and help with skin tightening and decrease in bleeding.....even though they both help, this is her thought process on why she prefers to use them both.

10 days pre

11 days and counting

So i have my pre-op appointment on Monday. I know i will be fitted for my garment, given my prescriptions, go back over what is expected that day of precedure and sign my consents.....is there anything else i should expect at this pre-op?

Plan on going shopping this weekend to get more comfy clothes and i see alot of ppl on here purchase the arnica pills and cream....do these work? and should i purchase another CG now or should i wait to see how much smaller i might get?

Thanks so much and Happy Weekend Everyone

Personally I would Wait until after the one week appointment. By then some of the swelling will go down and they will measure u for the proper fit. I know how excited you are and still the apprehension that you r feeling. Good luck.

5 days pre

Pre-OP Appointment done

So i getting excited, it still hasnt set in yet that im finally getting this done. But i had my pre-op appointment Monday 4/7. Everything went pretty smooth. Paid my balance off in full and got all of my prescriptions and got fitted for my CG. I had to try on 3 different CG before we got it right, but i really liked that Dr. Mizgala wanted to approve the CG and she looked at everyone i tried on until she thought it was right for me. She took her time and went back over everything to be done and whats to be expected, they took my pre-op photos and Dr. Mizgala drew on the photos with a marker to show what she wanted to target and focus on! I truly left the office feeling very secure in picking her to be my Surgeon.

Soooooo the Count down begins till 4/15/14

Sometimes it is not what the scale says but where the weight is distributed. I think you will look amazing post surgery. Just remember the heal I Nguyen takes longer than we expect, same with final results.
