I got laser lipo and it worked out well. I don't have that loose pouch of fat that was sagging at my lower abdomen. Clothes fit better and I have a better silhouette. It's definitely not a DRASTIC change, but for how much I spent, I am satisfied with the results.

I had my procedure done Friday morning. The pills they gave me helped me relax and I did not freak out [which is kind of saying a lot for me, haha]. I was awake the whole time, and when i felt pain it reminded me of getting a tattoo. When i told the doctor i was in pain he filled the areas with more lidocaine and the next time it wasnt so sensitive. He removed 4 lites of fat, which i hear is about 9 lbs. I got wrapped up after in my compression garment and went home. I oozed so much which was annoying because i was sore and i didnt want to keep chaning my clothes. my advise is to wear just the compression carment and a little bra/cami, and just swaddle up in a big sheet to ooze out, protecting your bed with towels and a garbage bag underneath. i stopped bleeding after 24 hours, when i was taking a shower. i was really swollen for two days, but on Sunday, i felt better and i had lost alot of bloat. I urinated a lot, which i read is my body processing the tumescent fluid. today im in regular clothes walking around doing light chores. I feel much better when my compression garment is on. Its Monday now and i Have my first apt. on saturday. I was spilling out of my compression garment on friday, and today its so loose, i think i need another. When i get my other one in the mail i'm going to ask if i can wear it. i cant tell a difference in my abdomen, but my boyfriend and mom said that my love handles are pretty much GONE. im excited. I know I need to be patient. So far it has been worth it :)

I just had my surgery done yesterday morning. Really felt no pain during the procedure ecvept for a couple times when she was up close to my ribs. I had a stressball that I squeezef yhe heck out of during that time. After the procedure I felt pretty until the nauses set in. Threw up in the office, but thats how ive always been. The way I see it get that stuff out of my system. Dont remember the drive home and went to bed. Woke up a few hours later, threw up again, changed my dressing pads, had some crackers and back to sleep. Woke up again around 10:15pm and literally felt no pain, kinda weird. Got up, pottied, ate a few turkey cheese crackers, drank water and again bsvk to sleep. Up again at 5am to potty, which I wascablw to by myself. Now 8 am, approx 24 hrs after procedure started and while im sore, the only pain I feel is from having to lay on my back all night. Im going back in next monday to do inner\outer thighs. Im excited to take this journey with other folks like y'all to compare stories!

I had mine done yesterday at same place. I had inner thigh, lower ab and banana roll. Not too much pain and barely oozed much. I think most of my oozing came during process. Anyway feel pretty good just sore this being the next day. My cost was 4800.00 and I put a deposit down so I would have a lower monthly payment. It seems like I have swelling so results aren't totally visible. Happy that I did it. There was some pain during process but I kept my eye on the prize and squeezed the pillow:)

I am scheduled for surgery on June 7th and am very nervous. I am reading more comments about how people went through all that discomfort and don't see results other than scarring. I am also curious about how long anyone's bruising lasted. I am 42 years old, 5'6" and 136. I'd love to hear some thoughts... Oh, and I'm scared of needles!

My pre-op changed to tomorrow because of the blizzard. I have been drinking lots of water and electrolytes, and no alcohol since Friday. I went and bought some things they said I would need postop; towels, maxipads for oozing, arnica pills for bruising, warm socks for surgery; antibacterial body wash for the night before and morning of surgery; drawstring pants for recovery, stool softener for opiate pain meds; and my own idea, probiotics for being on antibiotics. i am wearing a zip-front sweatshirt and drawstring pants to surgery. Cant wait to get this done.

Good luck for your procedure. I had mine done at Sonobello as well but only paid 4200 for the exact same areas, but you are right it depends on the BMI of the patient. The priced me at the lowest possible level, my BMI is 22. I had my procedure done one week ago and felt no pain, just some discomfort. Don't be scared, it will be ok. Keep us update.

Thanks for the reassurance, it is much appreciated. I will keep updating as i progress.

Hi I had the procedure almost 4 weeks ago.. I don't really see much of a difference.. Can some of u share ur stories at sonobello with me? I'm beginning to think I wasted my money
October 1, 2013
I feel like I wasted my money. I gained 4 pounds.. I had the procedure done on 8/28/2013... I see no difference in my body.. I got my lower abs/upper abs, hips, and back bra roll done.. My back still looks like it has fat on it.. I paid $7600.. I have had a fever/chills & headaches for the past 2 1/2 weeks.. Linda is nice but at the end of the day they just want ur money.. Don't be pressured.. If u want immediate results get traditional Lipo... I am still very sore.. I would not recommend sonobello to anyone

I am really sorry that you are frustrated. I had a tough time in the first few months. I was so bruised, swollen and sore for so long that it took me a long time to feel good about it. I have only lost a few pounds but I feel good about where the weight came off. I hope that you see results soon. Best wishes!
October 1, 2013
I'm so sorry. That is too much money to spend amd too much to go through to see no difference
October 2, 2013
Yes it is.. Linda kept sayin in my consultation (which I had 2) that I would see some immediate results.. I'm still waiting.. Just beware and do your research.. Which I wish I dido the of.. Good luck

How are you doing now 7 months later? I am getting exactly what you got done next Saturday. I'm excited. It will be nice to have a waist again.
March 25, 2013
Hey, so how did the surgery go? Could you share your experience more? I am having a consultation in early April. Hope you're well.
