February 2017- Waist is still tight, but the area is uneven.

My waist is still small, so that's definitely a good thing. It seems that if I gain weight, it doesn't become round as it did in the past. My lower abdomen is rippled, though, and the doctor says that it's due to pockets of fat that are left over. So, I've done follow up procedures to target those areas. It bothers me, but I'm still a work in progress.

So glad you're happy with your results! I want to do arms with him also. Were there any irregularities or lumps and bumps with your arms? Any loose skin? Hope I hear from you soon! Thank you!

These results are already FANTASTIC.

I've lost 24 pounds since the procedure (which was 3.5 weeks ago). Ok?! I mean, holy crap. The thing is, though, that I hopped right onto Dr. Verano's medically supervised HCG diet. Blogs can say what they want, doing this back to back is effing wondrous. Go for it.

Swelling went down slowly but surely after my first lymphatic massage, and I'm looking so good it's tripping me out. Clothes that were tight are loose, and I'm so glad to have made this investment. My skin is tightening, the nodules are still there, but not as tender, so the plan is to keep getting massages. Going to call the doc to see if I should stick with lymphatic or go deep tissue. Massaging myself in the meantime just to try to loosen them up a bit. My arms look smaller, and I'm lifting again to keep my definition. The masseuse says that when the muscle contract, the fluid moves, so it's two-fold, whereby the workout gets the residual swelling out of there. It still hurts a little, too, but it's like an itchy hurt. And Im still numb in some areas. Cant believe that it'll keep getting better because what I've got now I can live with. The scars are barely noticeable! Do this. Find a good doctor and get 'er done. =D

AND so ok. The diet is low calorie (perhaps this should be under a new category), but I'm at 1000 a day and working with a professional who supports me full time. There's an appetite suppressant, a really good cook book and a guarantee that you'll lose weight every single day. So you actually weigh in every day and watch it go down, which is really encouraging. Then, your person transitions you for 6 weeks as you go off of it. I've learned new ways to cook, how it feels to be completely detoxed and confident, how to navigate restaurant menus, and that I don't need to cheat or have a drink at the end of the day to be ok. Now, for each his own. But this process is amazing, and I get how to maintain it. So capitalize on your investment and go all in. This diet is crazy effective. Ok that's all. =)

Slim Lipo Day 13: Swelling like crazy.

Neisha_02
So, my waist looked great until three days ago. Suddenly, I'm the same size that I was before the procedure with hard, wiry nodules all over my abdomen. Scheduled a lymphatic massage to see if that'll help with that and reduce bruising. The areas are still pretty tender, and I'm only wearing compression garments at night.

Craziest thing, though, is that I weighed in at my post op and had lost 13 lbs in one week!! Just praying for this to hurry up and resolve. LoL.
