Default what are your thoughts on Liposuction

Hi everyone

I have told my story a few times but in summary i have abdominal RSD and have 70lbs of swelling on my abdomen as a result of 3 surgeries. My last surgery was in 2006 when a plastic surgeon thought if we cut of my swollen tissue maybe it would stay gone...well it came back double with many more health problems.

I was watching Dr OZ today and he was talking about Liposuction for "Muffin Tops" the rolls over top of a pair of jeans that mid aged women get that they cant get rid of. My swelling is much different BUT do do you think having fat cells sucked out would cause me harm like having surgery? Would the motion of the lipo hose thingy cause me more nerve damage? Just trying to think of ways to get rid of this very uncomfortable swelling. Lasix doesnt help or any type of diuretic. I cant risk getting more swelling...i can hardly walk as it is. I have to walk bent over leaning on a walker with wheels to push myself along. Because of herniated discs in my lower back and the pressure of the swelling i cant stand up straight. Im only 48 and there just has to be a way for me to be more comfortable and get rid of his swelling.
Sigh...so frustrating!
Thank you for reading and thinking about this with me.
Lori
