How was your recovery from Liposuction?

Thank you for the info

Hi Dolly Don't worry, I felt the same way. I was so worried when I was still swollen snd felt like I should be flatter Good news, middle of week 3 and getting the Bromalain which helps with swelling I started to have much improvement My stomach is getting flatter and bought a high rise spanx s that I wear in the day. I've lost 10 lbs on the scale too which was nice to see Still am swollen a bit. It could take up to 6 Months to see final results they say. You will get better and better Keep me posted.

Hey how r u? Your comments really help me keep motiveted , my lipo is this Tuesday and I'm excited / nervous don't know how to discribe myself . Lol One question : did u watch your lipo? Because I be been looking in the Internet and most of the videos the patient it's awake ! Andre what kind of good should I eat ? Have a lovely weekend

Hi Cibele I'm so excited for you. It's been week 4 for me and as you know I was concerned about the swelling and was a bit uncomfortable I started to take the Bromalain and that really helped with swelling. The 3rd week I started to feel much better, swelling was going down and my upper and lower abdomen looking better each week. I kept wearing the garment the surgeon gave me but week 4 changed to high waisted spanxs with mid length legs. More comfortable also I didn't see them do my abdomen because they put a sheet across the table above the area plus I was in and out of sleep But when I did my arms, flanks and breasts last year I was totally able to watch But you are so relaxed and will dose a bit you will think it took a much shorter time than it dies plus you won't feel a thing. You might feel a little pressure but nothing hurts. When they are finished they will just get you up slowly. Then bandage you and put on your garment and home you go. Your Doc will give you pain meds and my Dic also gave me Valium which helped to sleep and get rid of fluid. You will drain but that's why they bandage you. I went back the next day and they changed my bandages. Just needed large band aids They said I might drain more and gave me dressing that I could place inside my garment for that. I wish you luck, you will do great and feel so much better having the area reduced I weighed myself today fir the first time and list 10 lbs because of lipo and still have a little swelling Please post me when you can to let me know how your coming along. You'll be looking great

Sorry for the type o's

Thank u so much u r always very helpful !!!! I will post u :) thanks :) x

The garment my doctor has me wearing is like a body suit..high back and has legs in it. Lol..and it's hot here in South Carolina! Haha! My swelling has reduced, I feel much better, but still nowhere near healed I don't think? Meaning the swelling is very much still there, but less noticeable! YaY! I also asked my doctor about the bromalain..he didn't recommend it? I don't know what I should do? Try it anyway..lol? :/

Hey how r u ? :) thanks again for your comment :) I don't need to say to u how it helps me :) How much of fat did you remove ? I would the doctor to remove the maximum hopefully he will :) have a nice weekend :)

Hi Cibele Doing really well. Moving around like before the surgery! I still have a bit of numbness but that is natural. The Doctor removed fat from my upper and lower abdomen , she did say how much she removed the day she did the surgery but I don't remember, I guess I was a bit out of it but I'm going to ask when I go back for my second checkup in about 6 weeks. She said she removed more than she thought she could which was fine with me. My waist is so much smaller. I can actually feel my ribs like before I put on the weight in my mid section. When I weighed myself yesterday I am 10 lbs lighter and still a bit swollen I know they say lipo isn't for weight loss but gives you a better body shape. It's really a true statement. I have been eating well and some light exercise. I have much more energy. People are saying I look really thin but I haven't told them I had lipo! I can't wait to hear about your lipo. I'm really excited for you.. And relax, you'll do fine!

Cibele, my doctor removed 3 pounds I believe? Just today I wore my jeans that I wore before my lipo! Who would of thought I'd be happy about my old jeans, swelling is a pain! Lol! I'm feeling great! My stomach is still sore, I rub as much as I can to relieve the soreness..please let me know how your surgery goes!

Thanks girls for comments I can not believe my surgery is tomorrow :) it's a mix of excitement and nervous lol if u know what I mean I really can not wait to do it !! Xxx

Thank u :) xx

Hi Dolly I'm so glad to hear about how your doing. Lipo is a amazing procedure to say the least. I'm so glad I did it I know what you mean about the swelling. It's unbelievable how each week things start to shrink. Glad to hear things are good

Cibele Good luck tomorrow!

Thank u :) it's today and I can not believe :) just getting change to go to the clinic :) will keep u guys posted :)

Hey just off the clinic , feeling a bit drowsy but its ok . My flanks r a bit sore but the rest r ok. Thanks for the supporting . Xx

Good luck and rest! You'll do great! Keep us posted! :)

Sounds like your doing all the right things. I take Bromalain which has really helped my swelling. You can get it at health food stores or online. Someone on this site recommend it. It's been 4 weeks now. The first 2 weeks were a bit tough and swollen and stiff but now people who hadn't seen me for awhile say that I really got thin. I just tell them I've not been eating as much. I guess it's my secret. Hope your doing well
