Well dolls I am scheduled for next week. Honestly I am nervous as hell. Rereading some of these reviews make me want to run and hide. Then I read some others and then get excited again. This emotional rollercoaster is serious. Well I am just hoping for the best and praying I chose the right doctor. I don't like pain but I just want to get it over with. I always had a problem with a larger stomach. I am scheduled to get a full lipo on the abdomen and bra roll. Wish me luck!

Ok dolls. It's over. One thing I can say I was a wreck thinking to change my mind even up until the iv was administered lol. My doctor puts this warm blanket on your as a prepping before you go into OR. Unlike most doctors he believes if you are going to pay hospital fee then you into a hospital! I loved that about him.you feel relaxed before going in. I feel asleep before the procedure. Well I walked in the OR with the nurse. Got on the table and I was in recovery when I woke up. The took out about 2000 cc. I was kinda tired so they kept me longer probably because I only got three hours sleep the night before. I would recommend Dr.Schrieiber in a heartbeat.

Hi, yep it is painful as ?@$& haha. Be prepared. It looks ugly too. I am only at day 2 and think it was worse then having a baby. I wish you all the best for your up and coming and hope we will both end up looking like supermodels for all you have to go through. :)

You are funny. I am hoping for the same recovery I had before. I got SMART Lipo done almost 10 years ago. Got a hysterectomy 8 years ago, turned 50 in Dec and I have no idea where this fat came from! SMH! :-). I was up and about and also took my sister to get it done 2 days post op and back to work day 3. Fingers crossed for similar results. I will start my posts 30 days out. I will continue to follow you progress and be here for your support! :-)

Hi I had liposuction transferring the fat from my stomach to my breast. I lost 30% of my breast with DCIS. I am currently reaching the 2 week mark and I feel pretty good. Yes I am still wearing the spanky pants to keep everything tight and also lots of tight ahh bras. I wore a normal bra and it deformed all that fabulous painful work so I learnt big time to make sure I don't dent it :O I did accidentally sneezed when I wasn't prepared and pulled a muscle in my stomach ^%$# yessum haha. I can feel it, but lucky it can't be seen. Ok it took a week to get back to being reasonably normal. Its not as bad as I thought after that. Two days a painkillers and then I tappered off. I had one week off work but did housework normally. Hope yours is all good :)

I don't know if because I only got 2000cc removed but my procedure was not an ugly site. It was only bandages. I am still a little sore but wearing this garment drives me crazy. I brought another one on eBay so when I wash it I wear another one for about a hour or so. Since it's the summer I let it air dry outside but I can't wait to take this thing off. My surgeon says six weeks faithfully to wear it. Some.of my clothes are not fitting me so I am giving them away. The waist surely changes how your clothes fit . Good luck FritZygirl

Hello dolls. I went out dancing last because I figured a would be sore for the next couple of weeks. I felt like I should have stayed home. But one of my favorite stores had a sale and I brought all these cute tops that I could never wear with my current stomach. I began to imagine after surgery and brought 4 tops . I wish I could click my heels like Dorothy in the wizard of Oz. And be back home from surgery. Lol . Well dolls. I am only a size 8 but my stomach looks like I'm about 4 months pregnant. I can't wait to have flat stomach. Until next time!
