I have always been an athlete but I like to drink also and I believe over time it caught up with me. I have been struggling for the past 10 years in losing the muffin top. I am top have with no butt so I am shaped like SpongeBob Square pants. I have great arms and tights since I'm a runner. But for lack of words I hated my mid section. I have done Pilates, sit up 30 day challenge, more cardio workout. You name I've done it. Well I said this is the year your in your 40's packing on weight even running 5 miles a day. Let's change your life. New job, new determinations, new attitude and a whole new complete you.

Hey, and who wouldn't want to see their TATA by just looking straight down.

Dr. Lara is very caring, she is gentle and explains all the details of the procedure. She's a hand holder and makes you feel comfortable. Down to earth in how she explains what's going to happen next. You can ask her questions at any time. She has a quick response time. I will share more after my next appointment on Tuesday.

How was the lipo procedure? Was it painful being awake? I had a consult with Dr Lara and I am considering booking with her.

Gentle compression should make you feel better. Can you get a 6" wide elastic bandage from a Walgreens and wear that under a loose fitting top? You will swell up if you don't have some kind of compression. But, from everything I've read, you won't mess up your results. You just might delay your recovery a little bit.

5 day and I had to take the girdle off

Ok, I have been in pain for the last 4 days the girdle is way to tight but the doctor said it's right. I can't take the pain so I removed the girdle today and now I have bra rolls where I didn't have them before. I am going to be sized for a new garment today. I know it's suppose to be support and some pain but the pain was unbearable. I hope this doesn't ruin the results and I understand the pain before beauty but this pain was for bearable. I will let you know how I feel tomorrow. I have been pushing the bra rolls to see if I have anymore liquid build up and the bruising is just not good.

I'm wearing a compression garment with the binder on top. The binder is just miserable! I can hardly breathe in it and it keeps me awake all night! I actually decided to get a smaller compression garment and stop wearing the binder and I'm so much more comfortable! The suit I have is made by Marena ComfortWear and I love it. I usually hate compression and don't like spanx or control top panty hose but this garment is beautiful!
