WORTH IT$5,000
By the time I had the procedure I had at least 3 liposuction consults done. The last consult was in 2005 and the Dr. wanted $14K. I laughed it off, joined a weight loss program (LA Weight Loss) and ended up losing 30lbs. It took over a year, but I did it. I also remodeled my kitchen with the money. Fast forward 13 years and with the onset of early menopause, with just about anything you eat, the weight literally stays in place.
I became a runner and ran several races, did kickboxing classes and was exercising regularly, BUT the weight gain after you being menopause is REAL. You can be active and running, working out and literally your metabolism has changed EVERYTHING.
I got back on my lipo kick after attending a party in December 2017. I ran into a friend and she is a larger woman, she and I began talking about getting older, weight etc. She brought up this site and mentioned she was going to have some work done. I logged onto the Real Self and saw the pics and literally got inspired.
I knew I had overdid it over the holidays with eating and I planned to do "something" about it in the new year like everyone else in the world. I took a picture of myself and that was enough to get me moving. I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Frank and once I did that I decided to join the NutriSystem program. I figured a little weigh loss before the procedure could not hurt.
I loss 10lbs prior to my procedure and that honestly mad a HUGE difference. I highly recommend anyone lose a little weight (if possible) if you are planning to do this. Dr. Frank noticed immediately when he went to mark my body. And it was a huge motivation for me to continue losing after the procedure.

Hi! I’m probably over looking a post but can you tell me what areas you had done??

It’s in my title. My tummy, sides or flanks as the are called and inner thighs. And my back.
