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!

Go to this link. I think I read the Dr talk about it. I can't remember much of what he said but I don't think he recommended it for weight loss patients.

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?
