"I knew I was fighting genetics trying to exercise away the extra fat on my hips and thighs."
Patient's Story All the women on my Mom's side of the family has a problem with extra body fat on their hips and thighs, so I knew I was fighting genetics. No amount of diet and exercise seemed to correct the problem. When I tried on clothes, something might fit in the waist, but not across the legs. So I had some definite problems areas I wanted to remedy. Plus, I had some stretch marks from my son's pregnancy that really bothered me.
I originally went to see Dr. Dunagan back in 1995. He really made an impression on me with his concern about my overall health and I had a lot of faith in his opinions. I knew he really cared about me as a patient, not just a possible surgery case. But I decided to postpone surgery and try some diet and exercise. I'm actually glad I waited because I was in the best possible shape for surgery and Dr. Dunagan could really see where those stubborn genetic pockets of fat were.
I received super care after my surgery. I have to say they took better care of me than some of the other times I've been in the hospital for other things. I had one-on-one care that was so attentive. Plus, they had taken the time to really educate me about what to expect, so there weren't any hidden secrets.
I have been so pleased with the results. I did this surgery for me. When I told friends I was going the have the surgery, they would say, "But you don't need it!" But I didn't care whether people could tell if I'd had it done or not! I did it for myself, it was a very personal thing.
