I don't want to go into details about why I didn't have the procedure done, but it just didn't happen with Dr. Shahine. I do still think he would of gave me amazing results based on his before and after picture - and I honestly believed i would of look great. I am really bummed that I spent money on compression garments, foams, tablets and other items to help me recover. I am currently looking into large volume liposuction or a tummy tuck to have by the end of the month.I don't want to rush or just pick any doctor just for the sake of doing this procedure. I worked out a little this morning, just so i won't feel so fat. I am actually extremely sad that I did not have this procedure done - basically crying. I will keep you guys updated on my next steps - thank you all for wishing me well - even though I did not have the surgery.

Regards..... Still Hoping to Be the New Me In 2013

Thats too bad it didnt happen. It takes a lot to physch ourselves up to actually get to the office and mentally prepared. But for whatever reason it was not the right time for you. I had 4000CC which is a lot. Large volume lipo is very hard on the body. Hopefully you didn't pay anything??

First things first all the pictures on this website are fake he has his staff put them up and post fake reviews ever wonder why there are only pictures on the table. He has extend your arms in the air so the butt look bigger and ur stomach looks flatter, the pictures from before and after patients are from two different patients. Wants only cash payment because you will never see your money again if not satisfied or if you change your mind. He will have you waiting for over 12 hours and if you want to leave you cant because he has you full amount in cash. He cannot shape a butt and he is not certified. You are never happy with results and he never takes responsibility all he wants is money and for you to spend more and more his consultations are scams he is a good talker he preys on minorites. none of his staff are certified nurses and will quote you a crazy price because they receive commision. The reason you are not put to sleep is becasue they will take away his medical license. You are in extreme pain when you are awake and afterwards. This medical prodecure when you are asleep not local anesthesia. There is no anesthisialogist. It is dirty in an office and not sanitary. We need to stick together and be honest with each other all these post are fake he has his staff do them spread the word this is our body we need to help each other he is a liar a scammer who just wants money you will never get the body you want he will charge you for touch ups

Wow. That's crazy. I did do a bit of research on him in the beginning and when I found that he was not certified I moved on.

I had lipo in Feb. 2013. I was a size 4 with a nice body to start with, all I wanted was for him to clean up my flanks and little on my back. The results suck. He actually ruined my body, it looks bad, uneven and weird in the back. He does not respect patients' time, for my surgery I waited 13 hours from when it was scheduled. He does not provide a garment or even guidance regarding post op care. You need to get several garments, 3 days after the surgery you need to wear one at least 1 size larger because you will be quite swollen. Then you go through stages whereas you need to change the garment size. All he told me was buy a garment that's comfortable. Due to his lack of instruction I ended up buying 5 garments and paid about $700. He also told me the massages were 'optional'..OMG, without the massages you will develop lumps and swelling. I have spent over $1200 on massages (so factor that in). He does not have a file for his patient's so during each follow-up it's like he's seeing you for the first time with no information before him about what he did to you or your medical history..HUGE RED FLAG..The staff is beyond unprofessional and they are hustler's because they get a commission. By the way none of them are certified nurses and they assist the surgery..RED FLAG..To see him for a follow-up is almost impossible, he had me wait 5 hours once and 3 hours another time. I feel discouraged and I will have to go to another surgeon for revision. Do your research!! He is NOT Bd. certified, he is an OB/GYN. He takes the pictures right after surgery with your arms extended upwards to make it look at if your figure has clean lines, although there are bumps. For those getting fat transfer, the fat will be reabsorbed by your body, everyone in the waiting room was complaining about that. Visit several surgeons and do your research.

Tonight will begin day 1/2 of my surgery - this morning was the firs time I ever dreamt about the procedure and it wasn't a nightmare, so hopefully that is a good thing.

The fact that the doctor is always late doesn't bother me as much (although I haven't experienced his lateness yet) - because I always show up to places a hour or two late. My appointment is a 7pm today, I am the first one for the night..
I will post before pictures tonight, hopefully.

Keep telling myself to breathe

Deuces, sexy ladies or soon to be sexy ladies.

I began wearing the XL vest squeem about a week or two ago, and notice that it was too big - so I decided to order the Large. Last night I put the large on to go to bed just to get a feeling on how a real compression garment feel will. The Large garment was very tight and I had to call my husband to help me roll it down. At first I but it on the first hook, but the I wind up putting it on the tightest hook. Sleeping was very uncomfortable at first because I felt I could breathe, I just put about 4 pillows under my head and I slept the whole night with the garment.

I am not certain why I fit into the large especially since I haven't loss any weight since being sick.

Things I do that I feel is very important.
To be able to wear the garment all day, place any foam under the garment to prevent the pain of the garment metal from digging into your skin.
For ladies who have stomachs that look like mine, it is important to make sure your entire stomach is in your garment. I go inside from the top of my garment at pull my stomach up... I really think it helps...
Use firming lotion, super important

Until next time

I just had done what you are getting, Full back, full abs and inner thighs. He removed 4000CC. I was out. I had lipo 6 years ago under local and I felt a lot. But I am a very nervous person and adrenaline kicks in and I feel things. This time a nice sleep and overnight in the hospital with good pain meds.. The doctor ordered the garment and right in recovery the nurse pulled on the large CG. It has a full back and knee length with clasps on the front. They put some cotton underneath and it never hurt. It took me and the nurse to try to close it. I am 15 days and swelling is starting to come down. Lots of rest, feet up and just relax after. Lemon water, bromelain, protein and clean eating . I had a terrible time the first week as I was sick from the antibiotics what did I do. But now its so and clean eating. I had a terrible time
