anyone tried laser lipo?



Recommended Posts

I've lost 63lbs. since dec. 08 and still my tummy holds onto the fat. I feel great, but my tummy is one place that just doesn't seem to improve. The doctor says laser Lipo is abetter option than a Tummy Tuck, has anyone had either?

Never even heard of laser lipo...do you need to go under general anesthesia to have it done?

I have never heard of this either??? I am going to have a TT as soon as this weight is off. I did not have to pay for my lap band so the money will be put toward having my "apron of 35 years) :cursing:removed!!!!! It is so ugly and I am sick of seeing it in the mirror and seeing it through my bathing suit!

I'm very intrigued by it because it is supposed to result in some skin contraction.

My tummy is a bit weird. I have a patch, nothing more, of loose skin ABOVE my navel, despite being completely pear shaped and never having a big stomach. It must be more from pregnancy than weight loss. To grab my stomach and pull the skin down has minimal effect on this upper stomach loose skin, and my lower stomach is absolutely flat. I would NEVER consider a vertical incision down my stomach as you cannot even see this loose skin under clothing, you would assume I have a perfect stomach.

In this centre, portion of my stomach and over my entire stomach, I also have some residual fat, just enough to overhang tight waistbands and annoy me. All I'd need is a bit of Lipo, rather than a tuck.

So I was indeed planning on looking into this later this year.

I'm also intrigued by abdominal etching, lol, do you know they can lipo a six pack stomach for you?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
