Liposuction surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Forerunners Healthcare .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.\n\nForerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. They arrange cosmetic and plastic surgery for foreigners in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.\n\nhttp://www.forerunnershealthcare.com\nHope this helps.

Have you consulted your husband? Most of those surgeries go well but anytime you have any surgery there is a danger.\n\nMy wife and I talked about it for her and my choice was for her not to do it but I told her I would support her if she did. She decided against it because it turns out she wanted to do it mainly for me. She is beautiful and didn't need to risk her life for a small problem with her tummy.

It was really cool. Out of all the surgeries I had, not much pain at all. The doctor did the "key-hole" technique where they cut down and around the nipple, remove the excess tissue, then lift everything up and close. It was an almost 6 hr surgery and he removed 9 lbs. I woke up with an IV, a PCA (pain control pump) and a catheter. I had 2 drains, which he took out before I was discharged. It sounds very technical, but it was not bad. I had to stay wrapped with the ace wrap for over 6 weeks. I went back to work on the 3rd week. I felt great. And, after suffering with large, saggy breasts my whole life ( the final size was a 54i before surgery) i was very pleased to be a perky 48B. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. Best of luck to you.

It is hard...I have had three C-sections, cut the same way. My kids are now 7, 8, and 10 years old. I have muscle behind it, but I haven't been able to get rid of that baby belly. I don't know how long ago you had the surgery but, after your doctor gives you the okay, do sit ups and crunches eat healthy. Hopefully things will go easier for you, I had not enough time in between my surgery's for the muscle to rebuild before they were cut again...I mean I had three of them in three years.  Good luck...I know how ya feel.

No. liposuction does NOT treat the problem in the long term. Most who have it done just gain the weight right back, nearly immediately. Just keep at it. Often you will "plateau" when losing weight. That's normal. It may last up to a month, but keep at it.

if you find out can you let me know!!!\n\nSome of us just aren't lucky enough to get back tyhe figure we had before mother hood.\n\nIf your back hurst with sit ups try something like Yoga or pilates it could help tone a little.

Hi\nI haven't had it.  I wanted to get it but the bariatric surgeon I went to wouldn't do it on me because I'm too fat.\nBut..one of my best friends was the first person in our state to get it. She lost 133 lbs.  She isn't skinny, but she's a lot smaller.  She has no regrets and would do it again in a heartbeat. She inspired me to go for a consultation, but I'm not comfortable with getting a bypass so I haven't had surgery yet.

It sounds as though you are still active.  Some considerations to make regarding your acitivity include lessening your impact with your physical fitness...changing to biking and swimming  as opposed to running or jogging...eating a well-balanced diet that included plenty of water and avoids caffiene and alcholol (dehydrates your body).  When you find that even with these modifications that your acitivty is still limited, then it is a good time to consider joint replacement.  \n\nJoint replacements continue to improve in technology and technique and I imagine they will only continue to improve.  Some surgeons now perform the minimally invasive technique which only requires about a 4 to 6 inch scar and usually only requires an overnight hospital stay.  Pain and recovery time is lessened with this technique, but not all candidates qualify for this approach.  \n\nIf you are at the point where you cannot carry on your normal acitivities and are having a cosultation for a hip replacement, don't let anyone tell you that you are "too young"...yes, you will probably need a revision(s) in the future...but better to do it when you are younger rather than put it off another 20 years until you are so disabled that you've lost all your strength, cannot exercise, have developed a heart condition, have become obese due to lack of exercise, etc.  \n\nThere are people your age who undergo hip replacement, but it is rare.  When it limits your acitivities even with the modifications listed above, that's the time to consider it...otherwise, let the technology continue to progress!

First hand experience!  I went from a G cup (seriously!) to a D in December of 2004.  The surgeon took off 13 pounds from me - he said it was the largest he had ever done.  I had three compressed vertebrae, was in constant pain and was tired of being gawked at.  By far the best thing I've ever done.  I was off work for three weeks.  The first couple of days are painful, especially if you drainage tubes.  Because the tubes are inserted into you, shifting positions can make you sore.  They give you narcotic painkillers and your best bet is rest.  I propped myself up on pillows, watched movies and just slept.  My surgery was performed on Friday.  My drainage tubes were removed on Wednesday (warning, when they pull them, it hurts like hades, but only briefly, once they're gone, the pain is pretty much over!).  I took painkillers on Wednesday and Thursday morning.  After that, it was plain Tylenol!  I was a bit tired, but it really didn't hurt.  Because of the stitches, they don't want you exercising or lifting anything.  My Mum came to stay with me and took care of everything.  \n\nThe relief in my back was immediate.  Within two weeks post-surgery, my vertebrae had completely decompressed.  I do have some scarring on my sides and underneath because he removed a huge amount of tissue, but the results are so stunningly beautiful!  I still look in the mirror all the time and admire them, they're perky and cute!  Its amazing how  wonderful it feels to have someone look in my eyes when they're talking to me now.  Good luck to you!  It will change your life.

My friend had one last February.  For a few weeks she was really sore, and couldn't really do anything.\n\nShe looks fabulous now, she has always had a weight problem but only weighs one pound more than when she had the op.  It has encouraged her not to put any more weight on as she would look silly fat everywhere else with a super slim tum.\n\nLook to the future, in a few weeks you will feel and look fantastic.

In my vainer days I considered having a breast reduction, but when I started doing research and found it would make them non-functional, that settled it as a no.  The body's only here for a while, anyway - better to get used to the idea we're all going to be wrinkly, saggy, and probably a little funny-looking before long anyway. :)

Is there no way at all to come up with the money for the ceramic or metal hips?  You're only 33, and your plastic hips will need to be replaced not just once but probably twice.  I'm sorry to sound a negative note, I just wonder if you have a church community or equity in your house or any way to raise more funds.\n\nAnd as hard as it would be, you could even create a website, set up a Pay Pal account, and ask people to charge 10 cents on their credit cards and deposit to your account.  I feel bad suggesting this, actually, but it's an option.\n\nOK, on the bright side - the surgery itself WILL go fine!  My grandfather and mother both had it (guess I will one day too), and you'll not be in pain for at least the next several years!\n\nJust pay attention to your physical therapist and do the exercises you need to.  If you are overweight, take this as the start of your NEW NUTRITIONAL LIFE and make the changes you need to make - there's lots of support out there for that.\n\nGood luck!

Sounds great. However, I know a friend of mine eventually had surgery for breast reductuion (shame), because it was troubling her. I think she had back aches, but I am not sure - also don't really know what size she was.
