Has anybody had any experience with liposuction?

I have, more or less, decided to have liposuction performed because my job requires me to be under a certain amount of inches in my waist. I exercize 5 days/week and have only lost about 20 lbs. in the last 6 months, and nothing off my waist. Besides the fact that I am frustrated, I don't want to lose my job--it's the best job I've ever had.
What kind of lie can I come up with about how I lost so much weight so quickly? Is there a more normal, non-cosmetic surgical procedure or mishap requiring only a few days recovery that I can say was performed/occurred?
Anybody have any general experience with this procedure who could tell me whether or not it worked, and how you maintained the new figure? How long before strenuous exercize? How long, after the procedure, before you could have sex?

Losing weight is a combination of cardio, weight training and healthy diet. Liposuction is a temporary solution to your problem, you will gain it all back if you don't watch your diet.

I have a friend,the doctor took out to much fat from her legs and left holes. I also saw on the news a woman had her tummy liposuction and he ruin her stomach. It's some what risky, you should try cutting out your meats for a while and exercising.
