Congrats, I feel as though my body type is very similar to y ours. What type of smart lipo are you having done? I researched them all before I made the plunge....I am only 8 days post surgery and so far very happy! I made sure to cut my sodium the week before and continue to watch my sodium intake. I had the smart lipo triplex done so I could have the added benefit of the skin tightening over time. PM me with any direct questions you might have if you are uncomfortable asking on here. Excited for you

It is three, well four tools used....basically the first laser melts the fat, then they use regular lipo thingy(lol) then they use the laser that tightens the skin then the last one to sculpt. The skin tightening takes several months to a year but I started noticing this week( I am 3 weeks) post op it has started to take shape. Most people say they have 6 incisions and I had 8 they are very small though, 4 front and 4 back.

I had smart lipo done summer of 2010. Wonderful, but don't let them tell you it is permanent. As of today (3/19/14) I need it again. I put on about 30 pounds after I went on Cymbalta a couple of years ago and have a huge belly again. I want to do it again anyway, but will not expect it to be permanent. The procedure was basically pain free. I was awake. The compression wrap is annoying but necessary. I had my belly done above and below my belly button. My flanks as well (love handles.) I was told I could put on weight in other places, (thighs, breasts, e.g.) and I did, but must tell you it came back on my belly and flanks too. Disappointing. I still want to do it again because I can't seem to lose the gut any other way and would like to get into some slimmer clothes even if it is only for a year or two. Most of my life I was very slim.

I do know it can come back and I hope to be able to help keep it down but I am not big in other place just mainly my stomach and I only got it after having kids I hope that I will last longer than 2 years for 6400.00 but I will keep it in mind and try my best to keep the weight off. I will also be awake during it im just scared of it hurting during the lipo !!!!

Wow, $6400? Seems high! Don't worry about the procedure hurting. Actually a pleasant experience. Friendly doc and nurses. Was wide awake. No pain. The cannula they use seemed very slender, not much more in diameter than a straw, as opposed to liposuction which has a much bigger cannula and seems much more invasive. I am seriously considering doing it again soon if I can find a good MD. I live about an hour east of San Francisco, and want to find someone reasonably local.

I was totally awake and while I would say it was uncomfortable, I wouldn't classify it as painful! As long as the meds work for you, you will do great! I know for me even at this early stage I say totally worth it! But again I have
swelling under control and very little lumps. I can see how more swelling
which equals=pain would cause reason to discourage people but for me I am Super excited for my 6 month results if I can see results so soon! Btw I won't be having any more babies! Lol
