Hi everyone!
Not even sure if anyone is going to ready this but here goes!
I've been on this website for a while - a couple of years to be exact. I have been researching liposuction for just as long and I think I'm ready to take the next step.
So about me. I'm 5'1, 25 years old. I'm about 130 pounds. I used to be 120 and was very happy with my body. Curves in all the right places. However, with the stress of work, moving, family issues, I put on 30 pounds. At my largest, I hit 150. I lost 20 pounds in the past year and the last 5-10 pounds just won't come off. I really do think if I truly applied myself, I could lose it all eventually. It's just become such an emotional and mental issue for me. Everything I wear doesn't look good. Every time I'm out, I feel embarrassed about my body. I'm a cute girl lol, but just need to get rid of this extra fat. I haven't been happy with my body in two years so I think it's time I do something about it. I totally understand that lipo is NOT a weight loss method. However, I do believe that this will be a huge motivator to get my ass back to the gym and eat better. I feel like lipo would change everything for me and motivate me to look and feel even better (especially because I'm paying thousands for this, taking time off work, and my pain tolerance is not great at all) so I would work even harder to lose weight and keep it all off. I'm just excited to fit into all my old clothes again. I have thicker thighs, and a small waist so I know that lipo will definitely give me that hourglass figure I used to have.
I've looked into a couple of doctors and I have a consult in a couple of weeks with a doctor here in Montreal. I met with him 6 months ago for a lipo consult however I just couldn't go through with it at that time. I had way too much going on during that time. So this won't be my first time meeting with him. He seems like a very knowledgeable and caring guy. His office is very nice and clean. The staff is great. So I'm not too worried about anything at the moment.
I do want to get my bra roll, full abdomen and my flanks done and I'm paying about 4250 CAD for this. I would do coolsculpting however I tried it on my neck and I promised myself I would never go through that again. For that kind of pain and money, I'd rather have lipo done and actually see results. But that's a whole other story... Anyway, I will be taking a week off work to stay home and relax and I'm going to have my boyfriend stay at my place and help me out for a couple of days.
I'm hoping to schedule an appointment for beginning of September, right after I get back from my vacation. I'll post before pictures after my consult in a couple of weeks.
If anyone has any advice, comments, questions, let me know!

I feel you completely! My mental issues with my body are getting in my way! I avoid going out because I feel like I don't look good in anything I wear! I hope everything works out for you! I'm going to follow your journey :)

Surgery Booked!
a.l2016September 16, 2016
Hi guys!
Surgery has been booked for the 23rd of September. Coming up pretty quickly... I'm doing flanks, upper and lower abdomen, bra roll, and under chin. So much to do in so little time. I want to post before pictures but I'm going to wait till I get the professional ones the doctor took. Total cost of the surgery is about 6500$.
I still have so much to do. I need to go get all my supplies ready, clean the house, buy groceries, get my medication... Overwhelmed but super excited. I feel like this is the perfect time for me to do this. I'm starting a new job mid October so I will have a couple of weeks to relax and take it easy before going back to work!
Will update again soon!

Surgery tomorrow!
a.l2016September 22, 2016
Hi guys!
So my surgery is tomorrow at 5pm... A little too late for my liking as I'll be fasting + nervous + anxious all day long. I just want to get it over with and start the recovery process. Hoping it all goes well.
I've purchased all my stuff and I'm ready to go. I've set up my living room space into a comfy recovery house! I have everything I need around me. My sister and friend will be staying with me for a few days to help with me around.
I have a job interview coming up in a few days. I know I'll still be sore, bruised, swollen but I can't not go. Really looking forward to it!
Anyway, I will post pictures Saturday or Sunday. My doctor will send me my before pictures soon. Also, I took out my belly ring. I've had it in for the past 5 years and I really don't want to lose my belly ring hole. Does anyone know how long after the surgery I can put my belly ring back in? I'll ask my doctor as well tomorrow.
Will update more in the next few days!
