Anyone Have Lipo Suction?



Recommended Posts

I lost 110 lbs & 5"5. Now a size 8/38dd. I am waiting to be approved for a boob reduction & lift. Scared to have a Tummy Tuck & dont have the cash. I was self pay for the lapband & TT would be the same. Anyone have Lipo in the stomach & upper legs? Does it work? Or I may just need a TT and will have to save.

There was someone about a week ago talking about cool lipo. I googled it and it sounds great. Gets rid if fat and boosts collagen so skin shrinks. I hope whoever that was let's us know how it turned out for her!

Hi there, I had Lipo in 2006 and breast implants. I am 5' 3" and at the time I was 160. I had about the equivalent of a 2ltr bottle of soda of fat removed from my flanks and abdomen. It was very intense and the most amount he could remove from me. Here I am 2012 getting ready for the lap band at 185lbs. I don't have a lot of back fat so that worked good on the back and my flanks but the belly fat is still there. The fat cells they remove don't come back but others can increase and take their place. My Doctor said that I have good elasticity and I didn't have a lot of loose skin so he didn't recommend I do the Tummy Tuck. I think its a personal preference. In my case I would have gained elsewhere. I am hopeful that after getting banded and losing weight I might not need anything else. If so I don't know if I would do the lipo again as it was VERY uncomfortable for me. I was off 10 days and then went to 1/2 days for a week and it truly took me 12 weeks to feel "normal" again. Lots of swelling and bruising. I have two friends who did the tuck at the same time I did lipo and they Love it and still look great! however it is a lot more money and more recovery. I would love to know about the cool lipo. Good luck

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
