WORTH IT$7,000

I have been looking into lipo for a little over a year now and have finally decided to do it. I found an amazing doctor (after seeing a few horrid, a few okay, and a few nice) He made me feel the most comfortable and I got to see live examples of his previous work not just pictures.

I have always been the chunky one in my family and group of friends. Even though i was the most active. I grew up doing sports and dance i could just never lose weight or inches. I have been at the same weight for the past 6 years and decided now is the time. I am getting so nervous. I went and picked up all my prescriptions and got my garment ordered. the proceduere is scheduled in two days.

I am lucky that my family is supporting me in my decisions and i plan to stay with my stepmom for 3 days after so she can help with the recovery. (take care of my puppy) lol. I hope that 3 full days will be enough for me because i have to be back to work on saturday. Wish me luck!!

He was very friendly and gave me a few different options. I felt very confortable with him and he seems very confident with the results that he can achieve.

I'm anxious to hear how it went for you. I am nervous and excited both about having a procedure in a little over a month. I am a little unsure of how much time I will need off of work with recovery time as my job requires me being on my feet several hours a day.

So i dont remembermuch of the surgery. I was susposed to be awake but I was too nervous so the doctor decided to put me under. Before i went into the operating room a nurse got my blood pressure and weight and took some before pictures. then the doctor came in and drew all over me and gave me som red stuff to drink. That is all i remember besudes waking up at home. The peocedure took about 3.5 hours i am told and he removed 6 liters. with is about 5 liters of fat... yucky right.
Right now i am really sore. I slept for the whole day of surgery and most of the next day. this morning i am still super sore but i found the energy to shower. i wanted to get outta the garment so bad but now bwing out of it all i want is for it to be back on. i am deffinatly seeing a difference. i am much faltter. i will post pictures as soon as i can.

I am in Spokane as well and am looking into going to the same place you went. My only concern is that it seems like you the cost was high compared to others.... Do you know if the $7,000 is what Shape normally charges for the procdedure? Also, would you recommend this doctor and how was your post op healing? Do you have pictures??? Just curious, thanks!

Hey. I also notices that the price did seem a lot more around herer than others have posted. but for the area The price were about the same for the other places that i looked into. they price on the areas that you would want done. the first area is 4500 and each after is 2500. i did abs and upper back. what made me decide to pay this price was i adore the doctor. he really made this experience worth it. i work for sure recommend the doctor. healing is going slowly. I have a very active job and only took 4 days off. i wold take more off if i could. the garment is uncomfortable but it is not that bad. sorry i dont have pics just yet. i will post them in a week or so. i am waiting for the serlling to go down before i take some. but i will get them up soon. good luck with yours. have you gone to a consult yet?

Thanks for the response...no, no consult yet. I wanted to do a little research before going in. But it seems like this is the place to go. I just wish it wasn't so exspenive... I just had my second child a couple months ago so I want to get as much of the baby weight off before going in as well. I will be looking forward to seeing your pictures :) Thanks
