Hi, not sure if none has asked this before!!!! I train every day, eat healthily, but still have managed to acquire the dreaded para belly. I do 300 plus sit ups a day plus other abs exercises, so I have tred. Has anyone actually gone down the liposuction / surgery route post injury. I would hate to do anything that puts e at a higher risk than normal and I appreciate that many surgeons may not understand fully our additional risk factors??????

Brill thankyou!!!! I still can't work out if we would be more at risk- I can feel my stomach which is my nightmare area so that particular area wouldn't be susceptible to pressure sores- but I wonder if we would be at more risk of say blood clots in our legs!!!!

There is also a less invasive procedure which uses a laser. I have seen Groupon offers for it. Lipo tends to be better effective on stubborn areas of fat after weight loss, from what I have read, and is not an alternative to weight loss for which diet and exercise is the most effective route.

If you find a local clinic for laser-lipo they should tell you the risks but my concern would be infection and wound healing the traditional route.

I had lipo when I could walk and it was crap, it was the 6 month cocaine bender that got me to a size 8. I'd recommend the coke bender ha x
