1 week Post op: I took 1wk pics and compared them to pre-op pics and I look exactly the same!! Patience...patience...I know. Sigh.....

I had my lymphatic massage today. I'm still sore, so the massage really hurt, but I'm sure it will be worth it. I'm looking forward to the increased drainage from the massage and plan to go weekly foe the next 2 months for sure. I also ordered my stage 2 compression garment and can't wait to get into it. I hear the stage 2 garment is tighter and will help with results. I'll start wearing it next Thursday. No pain, no gain, LOL!

That's it for updates today!

Hey Brit, post some pics so we can see exactly what you're referring to in your posts. Would love to give you a 3rd party perspective. :)

I've taken some, but am too embarrassed to post them! I'll think about it and maybe post some this weekend.

Thanks for sharing! I am strongly considering the procedure and I am a hefty one..but my stomach doesn't match my body. I am in the area and I would like to see your experience (hoping this will help me make my mind up on where to go) or I'll just go to LA and have it done... hope you post pics soon... were in this together ;)

Hi, I saw Dr.Struck in Atherton off El Camino Real. He's super nice and I love his staff!
Waiting on results

Hey Brit. I have come to learn that with lipo patience is a virtue. It's the hardest part of this journey, waiting to see results. Get some pics up, you might have already made some changes but not able to see them through your eyes. We are all in the same boat and can help each other.

Day 5: The PS took out my stitches yesterday (Day 4). He agreed that I had some swelling and that some of the fluid hadn't absorbed. He then said that it would go down about 1 to 2 inches. I really hope it does, b/c I still pretty much look the same. I know I have to be patient, but this is frustrating. Did anyone else have this issue? I feel like all the pics that are posted have people looking super slim at Day 2!

My next check up is in 3 weeks. I'm praying my stomach goes down. But in the mean time, I start my lymphatic massages in 2 days. He said that will help as well.

Day 3: No pain at all. It just feels like I did a bunch of ab exercises. In my opinion i look the same pre-op. How long before I see results. I mean..i know it take up to 6 months to see the final results, but I mean...I literally look the same.
