I have several areas if stubborn fat. I am a twin and she had the same issues. Thanks mom! I am going to have lipo to correct. I will be about 12 pounds lighter when I have it, so I will update my review pre-op so you can view more accurate pre-op pictures. Please note that liposuction is a great tool for stubborn fat, but not a good weight loss option (you can research more on your own). I am having my upper and lower abs, flanks, public mons, and maybe a bit on my inner thighs (I will defer to doctors recommendation). Please note that, when you read about my recovery experience, I will also be recovering from a boob job, so my pain and discomfort will be greater. I am also having a lot of areas lipoed so that will yield more pain. So don't panic if you read my pain complaints :)

Thanks for starting a review while you are still pre-op, I can't wait to follow your journey. Are you currently on a strict diet and exercise regimen to get rid of those 12 pounds?
April 2, 2014
Hi Jill :-) mostly a diet regiment. I eat very healthy - basically, if it has anything bad or inflammatory in it I don't eat it (I ony eat whole foods). So no bread, alcohol, dairy, sugars of any kind, or preservatives or additives. Also cut out the animal fats. Still do seafood :)
I appreciated that you posted... I was beginning to expect tumbleweeds to roll by this review :)

Wow you will lose the weight no problem eating so healthy! Don't discount taking walks if you don't like working out- hour long walks do wonders :)

I definitely need to pick up walking! I've got my first consult today... #nervous

I just read your update. I'm sorry you didn't hear what you were hoping for/expecting. What are you going to do?
April 9, 2014
I don't think I have the mental fortitude to do the boobs, so I am just going to do the lipo for now. And I am going to ask the doctor to use his judgement and not take off too much where we might risk loose skin... That's the plan for now anyhow! I am trying to be positive and remember that fewer changes at once may be easier for me to digest. Who knows, may one day I will have them done, but without a doctor being able to show me pictures of what I can expect to look post-op, I doubt I will be comfortable. They say "have reasonable expectations". I don't know what that means to them... And it could mean something totally different to me. I need visuals haha! Thanks for asking Jill :)

Ha ha you are right- my "reasonable expectations" may not match a doctor's "reasonable expectations", especially without pictures! Good luck with everything. I'm looking forward to following your journey via your review.

tumbleweeds, that's FUNNY. Yes, a very busy forum but as many emails as I get a day, I'm glad to have just a few close realself friends :)

Seriously! That's all ya need! You're the first person in checking on when I get out of surgery!!
May 15, 2014
They'll tell you today what time your surgery is. Mine is at 12 and I have to be there at 11. I'm kinda glad not to have an early morning surgery, but then again I will probably be up at the crack of ass that day waiting for it to be time to leave home.
May 15, 2014
I booked mine in advance so my surgery time is 8 with a 6:30am arrival. Glad for it to be early; I am staying at a motel across the street the night before, because otherwise I'd have to Leave my house at 5am. My current plan is to check in to the room, take the showers with the special soap and then spend the remainder if the evening pacing the floor questioning my decision to get surgery in the first place :/
May 15, 2014
You are so funny! I hope you get some sleep though. My husband is not a morning person so that's why I'm glad it's an 11am arrival time. What I'm not excited about is being done at 4:30 or so and having to travel at rush hour. My daughter gets home from school at 3 so she'll just be chillin at home until we get there. Which isn't unusual but I guess I feel bad about it bc I'll be coming home all doped up and jacked up!
May 15, 2014
Lol - I'm sure she will be waiting to see how you are - and how you look! Yeah traffic is no bueno but hopefully we will both be zonked out throughout the ride. I am so type-A about this that I will even have a car care pack that my boyfriend is to bring on the way home from surgery in case I get thirsty or tired or throw-uppy
I seriously can believe that about this time one week from today we will be getting our "makeovers". What time zone are you in? I'm on west coast and my surgery starts at 8am PT, so if your on the east coast then your surgery only actually starts one hour after mine - well be getting nipped and tucked at the same time!

Majorly depressed
Just finished my consult with Dr. Hughes. He is clearly a great doctor - very knowledgable. The reason I am bummed is that the pocket on my stomach can only be lightly lipoed, otherwise he fears loose skin. I have anatomy that causes that. That is a major bummer, but I appreciate his expertise and advice. I am very bummed. We also discussed my wack boobs - lets just say, their wack and it will take a lot to fix. All that being said I think his advice about how to treat it is solid. His prices are a bit out of my reach, though commensurate with the extent of work I need. I'm not an easy case. Thanks universe.
