WORTH IT$2,095
Time is flying, sort of. Had a bad swelling 3 days ago. I think because i ate burger king and taco bell. Bad idea! Its since went down and im back at 195. Was 199 when i was swollen. Praying this bottom pudge goes in some more. But its wayyyy better. I wore a waist trainer i purchased like 1 week and a half ago, bad idea. It made two bulges and swollen spots, felt like i had balls under my skin, i massaged them and they went away in about a week. Not really sore it hurts if i tap my stomach it feels like that pins and needles feelings u get in your legs. I think i can put my waist concher back on when i excercise. But things are moving along. My stomach still looks nasty with the stretch marks and things but ive accepted the fact i wont be wearing belly shirts anytime soon lol. I just want to look better in clothes. Will update in 2 weeks.

Ok so most of the pain os gone. Almost all really. Doesnt hurt to take off and put on garment anymore, thank god lol. I do notice some localized after i wore a stupid waist corset. Ill hold off on that. Its going down though after massaging. I have hard spots thst im massaging also and it helps. He recommended a rolling pin rolled the abdomen after its been in the freezer so im going to try that because its too expensive for the lymphatic massage especially needing more than 1. But all in all lipo was the best thing ive evet done. My stomach has always been lumpy so im working on that. I also notice some days im more swollen than others, no pain associated just swollen up. I had a hard spot that i massaged really hard and it softened up.

My skin is tightening up well and i now ill get smaller after swelling. I may not actually need a tummy tuck especially if i keep working out. Still swollen, at times more if i walk and do too much stuff. Still sore. Fun taking off and putting on garment lol sarcastically speaking. But everyday im getting happier with the results.

Did the doctor tell you, you had loose skin before the procedure and he might not be able to get it?
February 24, 2015
