I have a pot belly that has stuck with me through all my sizes. At one time I was 260lbs...at my smallest 132lbs...even at my smallest I still had not only a under pooch but a very stubborn over the belly button pooch.

I know I could probably benefit from a tummy tuck. I have stretch marks, loose skin...but I also am 4 months postpartum and I do not want to be out of commission for my infant for that long.

I honestly am willing to see the best possible result with lipo only with my body type. I am 32 years old, I have had 3 children...1 of them natural and the other 2 by csection, one emergency, one planned...and lastly I had my tubes tied with my final child (so done! Lol) ...but wow! All the things I did to lose weight in the past are not working? I have cut calories, done exercise, and its a hige struggle...all I can assume is that the tubal ligation has caused some hormonal issues in helping me lose weight.

I have somehow even with a less than 1400 calorie diet actually gained weight and in new places...so Incan no longer do this. i have just decided on lipo. Life is too short to live on smart ones and watch the scale go up and my body morph.

I am in Germany. Stationed overseas as a military wife. Unlike the states, doctors here do not post before and after pics of their patients on their websites or on here like in the USA. It was worrisome at first (i have a breast aug) but I noticed almost none have them. So maybe I can start a trend? The consultation I am going to is in Nuremburg, seems legit. We will see. I will take some before pics. Also try to post an update about how my cpnsultation went. For the record I am currently at this time only interested in lipo on my full abdomen and hips...back/dorsal roll. Cost is unknown yet. Will post more soon!

My lipo for my full stomach, hips and dorsal roll is scheduled for OCT 5th. I go this Tuesday to have my bloodwork done, and to start paperwork.

So many feelings right now. Excited, ashamed, nervous, but most of all anticipation.

I ordered two compression garments last night, I really had no idea what size I would need. I hope they get to my overseas military address before the surgery.

I'm doing this. I just hope it is the right choice.

Hi people! I want to say I have no idea why my pics are turned sideways, it must be an iphone 7 problem. Apologies!

had my bloodwork and pre-op appt rescheduled from tuesday to today. Scheduling issues from both me and the doctor.

Alot of paperwork and signing things. 3 fat vials of my blood for whatever reason they want...it was vague when i asked the front desk. I had a sit down with the doctor Christina Guenter; while she is not the surgeon performing the surgery she has met with me for both my initial consultation ans my pre-op today. She is knowledgeable and has a nice sense of humor. She takes her time with your questions and makes sure you understand.

I was given the option to purchase something called Curetin after I inquired about taking any supplements to promote healing or to prepare my body. She said that she helped to formulate this and it has several positive controlled studies which caused patients to heal faster. Its basically a drink mix of highly concentrated vitamins, amino acids, proteins, and a collagen derivative to promote healing faster. Its supposed to be started 2 weeks out but I only have a week left before my surgery. So 1 week before 3 weeks after. It tastes like crappy cherry but its ingestible. You can translate the website which has info about it (and buy online) at curetin.de

The whole staff seemed to think I was going to look great, lets hope so I am excited and still scared. Its projected 4+ liters to be removed.l I will stay overnight and full anesthesia. Posting a few pics in my jammies to show pre-op in a dress. ll post another update soon. Sleepy! Thanks for your support!
