Pre-Procedure Anxiety

As it gets closer to the procedure, I start to have anxiety. Am I doing the right thing? Do I really need to do this again? Should I really be spending the money? Am I prepared to handle the pain again.

The more I looked at the pictures I posted last time, the more I started to doubt the need. Maybe my stomach wasn't as bad as I thought. Maybe I was being too critical of myself.

Then, I decided to try on the new jeans that I bought. The are the same brand, same style, same wash and same size that I had been wearing previous and am now unable to do so.

This was enough to assure myself that I was doing the right thing!

If that doesn't make a girl want to have the fat sucked out of her, I don't know what else would! I'm now GREATLY looking forward to Wednesday!

As always, more to come :]

Smart Lipo - Inner Thighs - Day 3

Monday, I had my upper stomach and back done. On Wednesday, I went back to have my inner thighs done. The pain was minimal in comparison to what I had experienced on Monday. That could also be due to the fact that my body was still in shock. The procedure was pretty quick. The doctor decided to do CO2 Laser Resurfacing on the outside of my thighs where I had the most excess skin. I was beyond surprised when she brought it up. I knew what it cost me to have the stretch marks done on my stomach and here she was going to do both of my thighs - for nothing?!?! The one thing that means the most to me about my experience with Dr. Kaufman, is that she is a perfectionist. Yes, she has made a good amount of money off of me, but at the same time, she could easily be in it just for the money and suggest such a service and then say, well, that will be an extra $1,000. They are so incredibly good to me at that office! I absolutely love them! ...

After Pictures Update

I am truly sorry that I haven't posted in a while. Not a whole lot has changed in terms of my body as of late. Well, that's not entirely true. I've been working on my tan - and let's be honest, everything looks better tan! I've also put on a few pounds. I'm not sure if it's due to the stress at work or the sheer amounts of alcohol I've consumed as a result of that stress. Either way - I'm up to 187lbs, which is clearly not where I want to be. I've decided it's time to redirect my energy and start using exercise as an outlet instead of alcohol. It's not an excuse, but some days I just want to go out with friends and vent about all the things that are stressing me out - and as a society, what do we do to be social - either go to a bar for drinks or a restaurant for food. I did get my best friend to join the gym but that presented another problem - too much talking and not enough working out. Like with everything in life, it's ...

My Body - Today

I'm sorry I haven't updated pictures in a while. Not a whole lot has changed other than the fact that I started working out again and went from 165lbs at the time of the procedure to 180lbs today. I'm still in my size 8 pants but I can feel the difference. My stomach feels swollen all the time for the extra weight. No one else can tell because I still wear the body garment but I have got to do something to lose at least 10 lbs. I'm extremely stressed out right now in my home life which I think is a driving factor, but come the 1st I'm moving so fingers crossed, life will improve tremendously. Now this picture below, is with the flash on so it looks different than the one directly beneath it even though they were taken seconds apart. This is what I mean when I talk about dimples on my stomach or bumpy looking. It's not flat and smooth. Unfortunately, you never know how the skin is going to reattach itself to the muscle. ...
