"We Are The New Vintage"
Tags:
I had Smart Lipo done at the beginning of this year. I noticed a difference in my shape right away, but they say that it takes 6 months to see your final results, so I'm still waiting. Next month I get to go in for my final appt, and truth be told, I'm not completely happy. There were some complications, and the Dr and I both think that the reason I'm not seeing the results I want are because of them. So, I'm having it done again. My doctor say's that she's not happy till I am, so this fall I'm going to redo a couple of areas now that we understand what went wrong. I do like the changes that I can see, and I'm fine with doing it again to get even better ones. All in all the surgery was easy (once we figured out the problem), in fact, I did parts of my legs standing up, doing a little dance, lol. And the recovery took longer then I was told it would, but not as long as it would if I had had normal Lipo.
*Note: Since you asked at the end of your post about weight loss surgery in general, I changed the title of your post.*
Roxy, what is Smart Lipo? I've def thought about getting lipo and boobies. Now all I have to do is win the lottery! :) Maggie, congrats on the weight loss and don't be shy about showing yourself off!
You should be super proud of yourself-what an accomplishment! I have heard that it takes a long time for the brain to catch up with what you see in front of you but take your time-its a process and a journey.
I have thought heavily on getting a tummy tuck but after the birth (and surgery to deliver him) happened I decided to at least try and exercise etc bc surgery is exhausting and draining. I have had many in my life that are non-cosmetic so I know the drill already. But it would be nice if it all magically dissapeared LOL
My body post baby is not what it was four years prior but I keep having the pics taken bc I am on this journey for myself now. I say you should do the same. Even though your body isnt what youd like it to be as of yet you can still learn how to pose-how to work your body etc while you are losing etc. :)
I was lucky I breastfed for 3 years and it really didn't effect my breasts, they aren't quite as perky as they once were but I'm also a lot older as well.
My cousin had gastric bypass and is doing moderatly well with it. She lost over 100lbs but still needs to lose about 80 more and is only losing about a pound a month right now. I watch her FB posts though and she still eats like crap so as much as I hoping she takes the rest of the weight off and keeps it off I have doubts that she will. At my heaviest i was a size 16 (after having child 2 late in life and losing thyroid function) I got back down to a size 8 through good eating and working out where i sort of stayed (tighter or loser at times) until last fall when I finally seemed to get my thyroid back under control through eating the right foods, eating cleaner and working out more now my 6's are loose. I did have some laser skin tightening on my tummy to help smooth things out.
I think pregnancy in general takes a toll on your boobs...I swear I should have taken pre-baby boob pics just for memories sake hehehehe
I heard though that even with a lot of exercise it still doesnt tighten things up I suppose bc muscles get stretched and weakened...oh well thank goodness for good ole spanx :)
No matter what you decide its amazing just to accept the phase that youre in while youre in it-I find it empowering kwim?
WoW, Good for you! You look amazing and I can just tell that you're on cloud 9, I would be too!
I didn't have weight loss surgery per say; however, in August 2009 I had a major procedure that took me 6 weeks to recover from. During the recovery the meds I had to take made me ill, so I had to be careful about what I ate. One day I noticed that I hadn't ate chocolate in over a week, at that point I said I would never eat it again (chocolate was like smoking crack, I coudn't stop). It'll be 2 years this August since I ate chocolate and my entier life has changed. The cravings are gone, I started eating healthy and playing squash. I lost 40 pounds and went from a 16 to a size 10. I will NEVER eat chocolate again, because I know if I take just one bite I'll screw up everything. I'm really proud of myself and I'm really proud of you. Thank you for sharing your story :)
