comment: I don't think people are "proud" (in the conventional sense) of getting liposuction and I really doubt that anyone who got liposuction is comparing themselves to people who go to the gym. You have to remember that a lot of people that go through liposuction go through it AFTER they lose the majority of their weight.  
  And posting before and after pictures isnt being proud, I think it is mostly to inform other people about what to expect.
