WORTH IT$4,800

Since it's my first time on here I'll give you a quick description of myself and my situation. I'm a 21 year old college student, 5'6" and fluctuate between 133-136 lbs. I lost 30 lbs after high school, but still can't seem to get rid of my stubborn flanks and chunky thighs. I still work out 5 days/week, 45-60 minutes/day (my cardio is mostly running and elliptical) I log all my meals and snacks and eat approximately 1400 calories a day. I've been interested in laser liposuction for contouring rather than weight loss for about 6 months.

I'm beyond thrilled to say that I had my free consultation for laser lipo at Sono Bello in Portland today! Shab was really quick and didn't make me feel awkward. (I would be lying if I said it didn't feel a little like a sales pitch, but I expected that because she is just doing her job!) I have huge "love handles" and inner thighs so I decided on my waist, hips, and inner thighs. I'm paying $1249 per area plus an additional "one time surgical equipment fee" of $900. Be prepared for the one time fee, because I wasn't aware of that at first. I'm also paying a little over $100 for post-op garments/prescriptions/etc. The total came out to around $4800. I'm being tested for a blood disease on the 9th that runs in my family, and once that is all cleared I'm scheduled to meet my doctor on April 15th. My surgery will be on April 24th and I'm super excited!

I have my blood test on Tuesday, which I'm a little nervous for! I hope I don't have anything that will complicate the procedure, but I'm trying not to worry. I'll update this again after I find out the results!

I didn't get my blood test results back yet, but should have them soon. I met my Doctor today! He was very nice and very professional. In fact, the entire staff at Sono Bello have done a great job at making me feel comfortable and welcome! One week now until surgery! I'm pumped!
