Have you heard of the word tumescent liposuction?

here is a definition for tumescent liposuction: A technique uses large volumes of dilute local anesthesia that is injected into the fat causing the areas to be come swollen and firm. The procedure is done under local anesthesia and is widely regarded as the safest form of anesthesia. Local anesthesia lasts for several hours negating the need for pain medications after surgery.

So my question is: would you take the surgery of tumescent liposuction if you are obese?

Sometimes I wanna take it because I am a little bit fatty. (my height is 160cm, my weight is 55kg). however, as a Doctor, I know that this surgery is kinda dangerous and damaging. for example, it might cause thrumbus, disfunction of body. but I really wanna become a bony woman. in China, people always think bony women are attractive. I have never been a bony woman. I just wanna become one skinny woman, that way I will be able to drive men crazy Embarassed

Sigh! what a dilemma!

NO NO NO!!!
Surgery is to repair damage or to fix something that is not working correctly. Do not mutilate your healthy body for vanity to satisfy a bunch of idiot males. If they are not satisfied that you are a healthy weight for your size, then to hell with them. Evil or Very Mad

Gah! We need to find a classier bunch of men for you to hang out with.

Meat is for the man, the bone is for the dog. Don't try to appeal to dogs.

At my country there are some good examples of the risk of that kind of surgery, include some mexican actress have problems s brain paralisis as a result of liposuccion.
I think is better a good medical tratament. You know Redy I�m too fat, the problems was not a problem years before, but actualy I get health problems and I need to reduce my fat, for that I swimm every day and Iam on diet all the time.
A little more, I have seen a endocrinologer that told me I got a metabolic syndrom and he is going to help me.
No Surgery all natural!

There's another kind of surgery which is called gastro-intestinal bypass, where in they sort of make the digested food go to the large intestine without passing thru your smaller intestine. So any fattening substance and those nutrients would just go straight down the drain.

But I still don't like the idea of that kind of procedure, as you could suffer from frequent trips to the toilet Shocked

Exercise and eating properly is still the best and cheapest way to be fit Smile
