an absolute waste of hard earned money!
$8,500
almost $10000 and over 4 months later and NO change on the scale, NO change in my clothes! I'm told they took 10 pounds out, but I don't see it anywhere! when I went for my post op appointment I was seriously considering changing my mind, but when I talked to the ladies in the office and asked them if they thought it would really be worth it, they emphatically said 'absolutely your stomach will be flat!', I said "REALLY! Because I was going to change my mind about doing this!", and they responded again 'that no one has ever been disappointed with their results!'. I went back for lymphatic massages 5 times. one of the times I was on the table and it COLLAPSED! I was sore enough and then that happened, not only did it hurt I was embarrassed and humiliated! I expressed my disappointment to no avail. the only thing I was offered was another procedure at a discounted price. this situation has caused me constant anxiety since I realized it was a mistake. I'm still sore in some places and numb which wouldn't bother me if I would've had good results.

Did you ask your doctor if it's going to get any better? Did the doctor make you feel like you would see a dramatic change? I'm going in on the 16th for my procedure in AZ. I'm scared to do and be disappointed.

he said it will get some better that I still have some fluid and swelling but I just feel like it should be better than it is by now,

That exactly what I'm worried about. I read so many stories on here about doctors saying it will get better "don't worry". I hope their right. I can imagine how you must feel just watching and waiting.

Good day, I am sorry you are not satisfied with your results. Are you wearing your compression garments? It is my understanding that this is a must for the weeks following liposuction (I saw your mention of Spanx). Also, are you taking Arnica and/or Bromelain? I hope your results will improve.
August 8, 2016
I wear spanx and my band. although the dr said after 5 days its not necessary. I have arnica gel that I use.

I am having this surgery next Monday and my surgeon gave me a list of supplements to take two weeks before my surgery and a couple after. Perhaps taking the Arnica tablets will help. My surgeon also told me to expect to be in my compression garment at least six weeks. He also mentioned to drink products with electrolytes following surgery and eat/drink protein products. I am hopeful you will achieve the results desired.

Thank you and good luck with your procedure. I'll see if I can find the arnica tablets

I'm not a Doctor but I am a Nurse. I needed and had a tummy tuck done in 1/2016. Again, I'm not a doc but did u consult with any PS about doing a tummy tuck? Lipo alone wasn't going to give me the slim stomach I wanted.

Not feeling very satisfied
It's been 17 days. I feel as big as ever. My pants aren't fitting any better. I guess I'm still swelled and have fluid. I am having hivamat treatments (lymphatic massage) guessing that should help. But I definitely had higher expectations for better results. I feel very frustrated with myself for spending so much money and not getting dramatic results. I even had a crying spell today.
