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?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
