There I am 28 years old no children and stuck with a body of horrible distributed fat. I lost weight on and off over the years but my stomach wouldn’t budge. I decided to get lipo done on my upper and lower abdomen, waist and bra roll. I was so scared at first, but I decided to take that leap of faith. I’m 11 days post op and the results just keep getting better and better. My only concern is the hardness that’s on my lower abdomen and the frequent chills I’m having thats rolls all over my body multiple times a day. Any body else experience extreme hardness on their abdomen after lipo and chills? If so, please share if it’s normal and what it could be. Also, the medical binder in the DEVIL! It cuts into my back and hurts bad all day long I can’t wait to get my faja in the mail. Otherwise I’m happy thus far with the progress of my results. I’m taking about 9 vitamins a day to speed up the healing process. I can’t wait to show off my final results.

I’m seriously considering a consult with her! Does she have a BMI requirement? does she use drains? How long did it take to get scheduled? how long before return to work? (sorry about all the questions, just want answers from a real person)
March 28, 2018
You should definitely consider her, I’m on week 7 post op and I’m amazed at my results. I’ll put up an updated picture tonight. There is no BMI requirement, she does not use drains (which means fluid will take longer to leave your body), I was schedule in 2 weeks. When you do your consultation be prepared for surgery fast. The quote she gives you will be good for one month, then the prices change. I had my procedure done on a Friday and went bk to work Monday, but I have a desk job. If I could do it over I would have waited till Wednesday, I was EXTREMELY sore and miserable at work on Monday and Tuesday. Ask me anything, it has been a journey and I certainly want to help anybody I can. I love my results, I’m so confident and happy these days. I can’t wait to stop wearing all these compression garment though lol.

thank you so much for the response! I booked with her yesterday and am scheduled for next month. I am so nervous and excited I didn’t sleep last night

That’s wonderful, recovery will seem endless the first three weeks but the results are well worth it. Keep me posted with your recovery.

Y’all I look and feel so amazing. The key is patients when it come to the lipo procedure. However there are downsides. THE ITCHING IS TERRIBLE! I had to take benedryl, pain meds, and use cortisone for relief. It mostly occurred around my incisions. It has finally subsided for the most part thank God. Also, two of my incisions are not pretty. I followed the same care instructions for all of them, but two are very dark I hope the natural color returns. I’m still wearing my CG, I tried a faja but it was shaping my stomach weird so I switched bk to the compression garment. Otherwise, things are looking great. I have my follow up appt on the 11th of April I will post again at my 3 month mark.

you look awesome!! did you use an ab board or lipo foam under your garment? did you do lymphatic massages?
April 5, 2018
No I just switched between the Compression Garment and the faja. I gave myself massages with the wahl massager I got from amazon. It heats up and vibrates. I used it on myself everyonther thus far and I believe it helped tremendously.
