"Hoping to have a waist and a better shape!!! - Birmingham, AL - Surgery in the morning with Dr. Hedden..already checked in at the hotel..regular lipo to abdomen flanks and back then smart lipo on abs with fat transfer (hopefully) but I've lost weight and may not have enough to transfer, especially to see results or change. I will update with photos after surgery.Updated on 30 Apr 2015:Well it is surgery morning and I am a little nervous about going under anasthesia. I have no supplies. I see lots of women who buy all this stuff prior to surgery. I wasn't told to. The only thing I bought was a round blow up pillow to sit on and I did order a second faja. Wish me luck!Updated on 3 May 2015:Pain 1st day andwas no joke and still but just hard getting comfortable. 5'4 141 surgery day...posting before pics... Took shower yesterday but didn't get pix..I was too stressed to get this tight faja on its a medium but damn lol I see ladies with xxsmall I'm like wooaahhUpdated on 4 May 2015:I'm still pretty swollen and numb on back sides stomach.. I took pics today. I guess I need to start watching what ineat. I hadnt had an appetite in a week so I ate a lot yesterday. Pain better..still uncomfortable laying downUpdated on 4 May 2015:Still Very swollen Especially flanks & Lower back stomach is also just feels weird have to keep foam on it so hopefully no wrinkles will formUpdated on 6 May 2015:I took a shower put my garment on today did housework walked took care of kids etc...took more pics..I know I'm not even a week and I have been laying on one side more than the other which has has me worried. I also sit when I go to the restroom so maybe I'm messing up. I don't sit otherwise. I figure first 5 days were most important and I am trying now to do better. I need to make my week appt to get checked. I knew going in I had lost ten lbs so transfer wasn't gonna be much my shape and midsection were my priorities not a big butt. I just want my clothes to fit. Muffin top not bigger than my ass, ya know? I can't wait to go down a size in garment"

"38 Years Old, Mini Tummy Tuck, Smart Lipo in Upper Abdomen and Flanks - Birmingham, AL - I had my procedure yesterday. I opted to pay extra for experal and I'm so glad I did. The surgery went great and I was up and moving around most of the day. The experal really made a big difference. I'm day 1 post op and I am very sore were my binder is but nothing Tylenol can't fix. One thing that I never read throygh all my research is what fluid to have at home. But lots of Gatorade and drink it all the time. Helps with hydration and recovery. I have posted pre op pics. Post op will come soon but my binder is still on and I'm not ready to take it off yet. A little info- I had no stretch marks just a pooch. I'm very short at 5 ft tall and weigh 136Updated on 30 Jan 2015:I feel great so far! The results are amazingUpdated on 31 Jan 2015:Belly not very swollen but my legs, neck and back have felt miserable. Had a tough day, praying tomorrow will feel betterUpdated on 17 Feb 2015:So here are some after pics. I got my tape taken off today. The Incision does not look bad at all. I'm a bit swollen. My binder is getting loose and it is hard to keep on. I am still going to use it for a while though. My doctor says it will help heal faster. Love the results. I really want to wear jeans so badly but I know it's not time yet. Hitting the gym tomorrow for a light workout. So ready for that . I feel pretty normal now. Every once in a while a getting a burning twitch from the lipo but it's not bad."

"SmartLipo - Abdomen, Flanks, Upper Arms - Birmingham, AL - I am 29 years old with no kids (yet). I am 5'2 and about 125lbs (I gained 10 in muscle since I started working out regularly). I work out 2-3x/week lifting weights and running. No matter how many crunches or arm weights I lift I can't get the shape and definition I want so next Wednesday I'm having SmartLipo. I'm very nervous - mostly because I hate needles, but after wanting to do this for years I'm ready. I've had two arthroscopic shoulder surgeries in my early 20's so I can handle any pain/soreness. I'm going to take my before pictures this weekend so they'll be up soon. Get ready for the blinding whiteness..."
