I don't think there's any danger of anyone saying that to me, more's
the pity ;-)

hahaha! Exactly. I wanna make sure that if I get lipo I get results
that make it worth the expense. It sounds like you didn't have very
much fat to lose so maybe that's why you haven't seen much result.

Wow! I'm going to ask about that too. I have an appointment with a
surgeon on Thursday. I've been taking pics with my digital camera of
my body from all angles so the surgeon can show me what changes he
could make.

Thanks for all your help I really appreciate it. This area is so
complex that, so it's really nice to speak to others who've had
personal experience.

Best
Soave.
