Well this is the beginning of my post. I will go...

Well this is the beginning of my post. I will go in on May 29th to have Smart Lipo. This location is so far from were I live but let me be very clear. From the 1st phone call I knew that this was more so than not going to be the place for me. The front desk lady (sorry for not remembering her name) spent 30mins breaking every question I had down. I made my appt she even worked that out for me. I went an it was hard to find but I made it she even talked me through that. My wait time was short an there were (not being racist) several other black women comming in. That may not mean anything to most who may read this but to the black woman that will make a difference. So I met with the Dr . then went to the exam room. He asked just what was my expiations an he off the top said that black skin tends to turn black an he will do all he can to prevent it but each person is different. He gave me all the info I needed without making me feel any type of way about my choice. So what made me over the top pick him is that NO other Dr that I have had a consultant with ever addressed my scar from an appendectomy 16yrs ago. He made a point to say he would fix that. OMG he didn't have to show or say anything else to convince me....this was the Dr. For ME
Now all you ladies have to go with what you know about your self, the one thing you wont tell anyone about an if someone gets that about you without you saying a word you know right away they have your best interest. From that visit I went home knowing I was going to scrape every penny I have so that this Dr will be my Dr.
So this is the start of my post you will need to follow me because it will all be posted. I will blast my new body pics all over social media that's how confident I am he will make me look great.

I see your going to Dr. Kratschmer. .great choice..the closest place would be to go to katy mills, they have a faja store I bought one garment from, trust me..you will need more than one, so get a more cost effective one from like walmart thats comfortable fir when you dont want to be restricted..then go to the vitamin shop here in pearland and get Arnica Google it..it works, I used it.

Thank you so much for your reply. What else do you recommend I do that the Dr dose not feel (lol) when I get home? An do you think 3day in bed will be enough for me to go back to work? I sit 88% of the day

I didn't have message therapy, bit I did think about doing it. I leaked for 2, he leaves your wounds open which is said to be better then stitching them up..My boyfriend has Chron's do you think you will be able to deal with the pain from Chron's while dealing with the lipo pain around your abdomen
