worse decision EVER!

ORIGINAL POST

I am a 33 yo female. I currently am at my all time...

$4,900

I am a 33 yo female. I currently am at my all time highest weight at 158lbs and am 5'5" I've always had a problem with weight going up and down but recently its been harder to go back down. I've wanted lipo for a while but everyone always talked me out of it, telling me just to work out that I was being lazy. Unfortunately when u work out you loose weight in all the wrong places first, then where u really want to last... Maybe I am being lazy but I'd much rather just get my fat sucked out and be able to keep my boobs and butt! :)

I'm going in for smart lipo on the 29th I'm way nervous but very excited. I'm doing my abs both upper and lower, my flanks back fat and arms. I'm planning on asking the Dr to throw in my chin chub on the day of the surgery :) hope he will. I hope I see the results a lot of you have posted my Dr has a reputation for down playing expectations to make people be realistic and happier when they receive better than discussed results.

I had zeltique done last year from a different Dr and it was a complete waste of money with zero results I wish I had just did the smart lipo then instead but (shrug) better late then never. Keeping my fingers crossed in wis. :)

Good luck to you Gia, keep the positive attitude-it helps. I just had my upper/lower abs & love handles done on June 25th. I am on day 4 -make sure you read everyone's posts and advice it all helps. Very sore and black and blue but I know the final results will be worth a few months times-I have waited this long. I am 47 and held off all these years doing diet and work out with little results back and forth. I wish I had not waited so long. Hopefully you will be OK by August and that you have a great doctor- make sure you like him. I understand about the boobs- I am looking forward to finally have more boobs/butt than stomach! :)

Thank you :) I hope your doing well and shrinking as we speak! I'm prepared to look bruised and bloated I've taken 2weeks off work to hide in seclusion. I'm thankful for this blog because we all have the same mind frame. I'm able to share without judgement! My friends are so UNsupportive about this procedure its not worth mentioning it to them. It's crazy because half of them have had boob jobs or want one and that's okay and accepted but lipo is so taboo! They all think its a waste of money and that I should just work out or that I'm not dieting good enough or say I'm just being lazy. I only told the person driving me that I'm really going thru with the lipo everyone else doesn't know that tomorrow the day! (they think I changed my mind and decided to spend the money on a vacation instead) I pray everything turns out well so I don't have to listen to the "i told you so's" that I'm sure will accompany any negative results :( so thank you all for the support! I can't wait til I'm healed to let my after speak for itself :)

Good luck tomorrow - you'll do great! The plus to this is that they cram you into this tiny compression garment which will help with the diet because there will be no room for food + you in there, lol. It'll be worth it :)

Thank you so much :) I can't wait!

It's true about the no room for food...Day 5 now and it seems that a small amount of food fills me up quickly- good thing! But it irritates me by my under arm bra area. Gia-I hope you are resting now and drinking lots of water- it leaks out now but will be less you need to rid of later.
