I didn't find any reviews for my doctor or my city, so I've decided to write my own as I go through with this procedure. My doctor is James Schlotter in San Marcos, Tx which is in the Austin area. I'm have my upper and lower abs, along with my love handles done.


The reason I decided to get this procedure done is because I have always had a problem with my tummy. Even when I was a semi-professional athlete. Today, I don't have the body I want at all. After hitting puberty in life, I became an apple. I carry all if my weight in my top half of my body. I hate having the apple body type. I carry in my boobs and my stomach. I hope doing this will help change my body type some. If it was simply about losing weight, I would just train, but for me, this is about changing my body type.


I'm 5'4 1/2 and weigh 150. 25 yrs old. My expectations are that I will be in some pain after, but not brutal, and that I will not see any fabulous results right away. I'm hoping within a month I'll look decent.


My fears are saggy skin, disproportionate bumps after, permanent scars. Lets hope none of that happens.


I will update this and let you all know what I'm going through. I'm a writer, so you will have someone updating who likes to actually give a very detailed review.

Day 1: I'm home from surgery. My doctor does not use anesthesia. He uses some kind of numbing shots and numbing cannula. The shots were very painful for me. They didn't tell me, but there were about 50 in total. He started out with small shots and then moved to bigger and bigger, then to a cannula with numbing stuff. It took a long time and I cried from the pain. He said I was sensitive compared to other pacients. I was also on Xanax and a bit more emotional than normal. The shots were the worst part. I also looked 6 months pregnant after the shots. Super swollen.
After the shots I took a break ate a little food and then went into the actual liposuction. I did laugh at times, only at the very end was I started to feel some pain, bareable though. It felt like a jet from a hot tub on really high pressure. He made 8 inserts. I'm home now with my garments on. I have a lot of leakage. I feel just a tad bit of pain and am only on 800 mg of ibuprofen. I'm able to get up and walk around. Getting up isn't that bad. Just feels like I'm sore. I feel better than I thought I would. The leakage is a lot. They gave me depends to wear and I've changed them a few times. The garments are soaked and I've soaked threw a towl too. I'm not sure how I will look because of the swelling. I weighed myself and I'm 3 pounds heavier. I'm assuming from the swelling. I will update y'all later. I'd say so far I'm doing alright. The shots was the worst, but I'm feeling pretty good now that I'm home.
Oh, also my doctor is pretty nice. I wouldn't say he's the sweetest guy ever, but they are very attentive and helpful. I feel pretty happy with him.

It took me a 5days and I could only do it once I took my pain meds. As far as the itching I rubbed down with peroxide.

Day 2:
I woke up this morning, took a shower and washed my super bloody garments and binders. I was still leaking a little from two areas so I put the ointment the dr gave me back on them and then put everything else back on once they were all clean.
I feel like I had the workout of my life. I didn't sleep well but it was only bc my back didn't like the binders. For some reason it made me feel pain in my back (I had no surgery done on my back). I got a good 3 hour nap in and feel rested. So far, I just feel extra sore. I also have gone through some bouts of 'why did I do this'
When I did see my stomach after I got out of the shower though, I could see a big difference.
I wish I could eat healthy already but I'm basically eating whatever is comfort food.
