Helloo! I've been lurking on here for a little...

Helloo! I've been lurking on here for a little while now, live in London and had a son 5 years ago.

I'm a slimish 5ft 9 , 10st 7lbs (147lbs/68kgs) I used to be an athlete and used to go to the gym prior to my son 5 years ago(never loved it to be honest) but like looking trim! And I have a naughty sweet tooth (chocolate to be specific). However when I was pregs I put on around 50lbs and managed to lose it all within a year without the gym just from walking around and having the odd sugar free week, I was exactly the same weight ad I was before preggo with less hard work. I did the odd 15 min YouTube Pilates vid but hey ho, I got a little bump on top of my c section scar which makes me highly conscious in a bikini. I'm athletic slimish build - so not super curvy (I would love this but God didn't make me that way) but embrace how I am which ain't too bad...lovely breasts, toned long legs and half decent ass all with no gym ????.

Had a bit of a mare diving straight in running up to Harley st and booking with whoever said yes to me (alberto giuseppe) then doing my research on here and other places on him after ...so dumb!! I managed to cancel and lost a few hundred but that's not as bad as being stuck with a bad vaser job. Anyhow after lots of scrolling and reading I've decided on dr bassi at the selston clinic in Nottingham . He's got many great real reviews and truly trust that he'll smooth this belly of mine out! HE WILL!

I'm getting full front abs, and ideally later waist area (I need a bit more of a waist)but will see about that on the day (as he prefers not to do more than 2 areas per session)! **price quoted is in UK pounds £3000**


Positive vibes people, positive vibes xx

Hey! Good luck for for procedure, I am having my upper and lower abs and my flanks on Thursday and I am really nervous but excited! You mentioned that you chose Dr Bassi based on reviews and a chat over the phone, did you get to meet him face to face before going ahead with the surgery? London is quite a trek from Nottingham (I am a Midlands gal) so it may be an uncomfortable journey back to London? Also what about your MLD sessions? Will you do that in London or head back to Nottingham for each session? Sorry for all of the questions but I was in the same position as you & opted for a fantastic surgeon and fortunately he is based in Birmingham (my home city) and also in London so could pick. You already have an amazing body xx

Hi Vaser84, I did a FaceTime call with dr bassi and spoke to him a couple of times. He has plenty of decent reviews on here too and not just his own published work.

I know the journey from London to Nottinghams a treck about 2 hours but I'll be saving about £1000 doing it out of London. I need to hold onto every penny I can!

He's given me a list of MLD massagers in London so will get in touch we them. After surgery I'm hoping to stay an extra night or two in a hotel and maybe drive myself back ....I'll probably have to travel up for my reviews/FaceTime (if no post surgery complications exist) too but that's not a major biggie.

Thanks for the compliments, your not so bad yourself! But we need a little tidy up so to speak :-). Can't be going on beach holidays worrying about what our bellys look like it's too stressful! I think I'd like a boob reduction next xx
August 9, 2015
I know what you mean, it is expensive in London but I am using a surgeon who is based in London but works from Birmingham 2 days a week. What areas are you having done again and how much is it all costing?

I would avoid driving to Nottingham and back, even if it is a few days after the procedure, I am a little concerned that you may be in more pain than you think & sitting in a car for 2 hours without being able to lay down or stretch may be painful. Can't you maybe get the train up and then ask a friend to drive you back? I have to make sure that there is a friend with me to pick me up after the procedure and stay with me for the first 24 hours, don't you have to bring someone with you also?

I have read some great reviews about Dr Bassi too, his name has come up a lot, I just know that meeting the surgeon is really important and making sure you have that connection and also that he can examine you properly.

I agree, think we both look good already but just want that smooth definition. My procedure is on Thursday and am really excited but also quite nervous. I still keep reading tonnes of reviews and am worried about whether it will turn out how I want. You definitely don't need a boob reduction, your tiny waist will give you the hourglass figure. Xx

I'm getting the front anterior of my abs done apparently it's upper,lower and front sides. I work full time with child it was a bit tough travelling up with lil one for an up to 10 min consultation... I've been to about 5 consults in London to date so more or less know what answers I'm looking for. I'm feeling pretty certain about him even though we haven't done a proper face to face yet.

To be honest I haven't told anyone I'm doing this, as when mentioned to friends and family theyre all dead against it! I have a cousin who I might ask otherwise will have to tough it out on my own. I probably will just get the train up there to avoid any extra dilemma's! But there's a high potential I'll be on my own for the first 24hrs:-(. As for the boobs I just want them smaller they're currently 32G I'd much rather be a D/E cup - I should be happy with my blessings but they're a bit restrictive when trying to wear certain clothing /bikini's etc ...we'll see

I think you're almost at the point of no return now so go ahead confidently and positively with your decision, you don't look as though you'll be a tough job for the surgeon all should be fine!

I haven't told a single member of my family either, I joked about it with some of my sisters and they told me their feelings on the matter so I have decided to keep it quiet. I have told my friend who is going to pick me up after I have finished and then take me to my hotel and check in on me every few hours. I am staying in the hotel for 2 nights, the night before and the night of the op. So I check in on Wednesday night and check out on the Friday - I then have my first MLD that Friday afternoon and then I'll go home.

That will be tough, hiding from my family but I'm
Glad I have a friend who can help me through it, I'm also fortunate knowing that my procedure is in my home town so that is why I really would suggest up confide in at least one person to help you. Even if it is a colleague or something. If you do end up going alone then just ask the hotel staff to check in on you every few hours. The hotel I'm staying in know full well what I am staying for and they have said they will be doing what they need to make sure I am comfortable. Stay in a good hotel. The first few days will be tough but will be worth it. Just make sure you have some sort of support around to help you.

Are you having an IV sedation or are you just taking a pill for the pain during the op? I am having the IV sedation and that is why my surgeon refuses to do the op unless I have someone there to leave with - he said he will cancel the procedure unless I have a friend I can leave with x

Thanks for that advice Hun, London would've been so much easier as I live pretty close to Central London and on my own (my son would be with dad for a couple of days) but it was the money issue.

I'm taking the pill only but have just gotten off the phone to my cousin who's agreed to come with :-) (she's had a breast aug so understands the desire!)

Good luck, your gonna look so fab and tidy! Can't wait to see

Oh that is so good! I am really pleased she has agreed to come with you and you told someone at least!! You will feel so much better about it if you have someone there with you or at least after! I'll definitely put pics up after I have had it done. I'll ask them to take pics when it it over or at least the next day before my MLD so you can see what the results are. X

It's totally up to you Hun, I was in the exact same position as you. In the end I lost my deposit (when I tried to cancel) but I think it was a better decision despite losing the money. My anxiety levels were shoting through the roof... Read the t&c's if you paid less than 5 days ago you can get your 100% back but have to write in to their Manchester office recorded delivery. I'm Feeling much better now to be honest x

Compression garment size? Confused

User Avatar
LDNMamaBear
Hi, I'm a 30 inch waist and. According to veronique I measure for a medium garment. However I've tried it on and it seems a bit too comfy prior surgery feeling I should go for a small? Or would this be silly due to foam inserts etc that I'd have to wear also? Pls advise what's best from experience? Thx x

Hi, have just had vaser for the 2nd time, I'm a UK size 10 and have been measured for a McCom medium but also have a small and medium garment from last time. There isn't an awful lot of difference size wise between the two. The foam vest is huge also so I'm sure you'll feel very compressed. Hope this helps.
User Avatar
August 13, 2015
Thanks hello dolly22! Is the foam vest worn underneath or over the garment? And can I ask why are you having vaser for a second time? Or Is it a revision?
August 13, 2015
Hi, it's a revision as I wasn't happy with my flanks 1st time round. The vest is very big as it is worn as tight as possible under your garment. When I went for my post op the nurse cut it down to accommodate my bust. Although it's a real pain (because it's so chunky and restricting) you would be so sore without it..It also helps to keep your posture straight which prevents indentations .If I can help you with anything else just let me know ☺

August 13, 2015
Hi, went with mya..had it done on 11th so still very tender but getting easier every day, recovery is a hassle especially the compression garment but needs must. You look fab already but hopefully you'll be over the moon with your results, fingers crossed. bet you're super excited

Thx ladies! It went surprisingly well I felt hardly any pain whatsoever although slightly around ribs. I never felt any anxiety or fear on the run up either. I only took a sedative pill and chatted the whole way through they took out a about 2 litres - I Looked a lil swollen right after the procedure but I feel that results will be promising once I get more of this fluid out. Dr bassi says I have to wear foam for 4 weeks fully and 12 hrs for another 4 weeks due to my skin not being at full laxity ( motherhood aye!) Currently On the train back to London. I feel pain free and really alert. will update With pics in a few days xx
August 23, 2015
I'm really pleased to hear it went well and you're well enough to travel back to London. You're much better than I am, I am just über lazy and wanted to be bed bound for as long as possible (only because I wanted to finish off desperate housewives box set)! Looking forward to the pics and really glad you have finally had it done. Xx
August 23, 2015
I'm due to see Dr Bassi. What MLD massaging have you sorted?
