I can tell my updates are becoming far apart, this is because I am feeling much better. I think I am at the point of just waiting and watching now. I'm not 100% yet, but I do feel human again. I will update again at 6 weeks PO.

4 week update.
I'm feeling more and more like myself now. I'm still slow at moving around, and bending over, but all and all, I feel good. I am still swollen in the hip area from my lipo. I went for a deep tissue massage of only the lipo areas today, and man did it feel sooooo good. No pain at all. I plan on doing that weekly for a couple of months.

Day 21
Just adding a picture of the silicone strips the doctors office sold me. I want to let you all know that HAD I known I could have bought the VERY SAME strips on the companies website for $20.00 less, I would not have paid $60.00 at my PS office. Lesson Learned !!!

You really do look amazing! I am so encouraged. My husband was also more concerned about the skill of the ps rather than the final cost, so we went with someone more expensive but very highly recommended. It will be well worth it for us!!!

Thank You, It becomes more amazing everyday. I will add more pictures soon.. I am loving wearing all the clothes that have been sitting in my closet for so long. Yes, it was WELL WORTH IT !!!

FreeFall~I "related" to your pain description. Can you comment on the Demoral? I too ate Percocet and Vicodin like candy. If I do decide to get more PS done, I'm obviously switching Surgeons. I want to ask on my Pre-op what the strongest Narcotic they prescribe.....Thoughts? TY! Amy

Hi Amy.
The Demoral was much better at controlling the pain, although i felt like nothing ever really totally took the pain away. It was so frustrating to hurt so bad with no total relief. When i went to the ER for my panic attack, they gave me Dilaudid through an IV. It scared the crap out of me when it went it, it made my whole body feel hot and numb. I think that dose helped my pain more then the others, but it didnt last long. Not sure i could handle the side effects of taking Dilaudid every few hours. I finally had to just help myself with some muscle relaxers my husband had. Those were my magic pill to sucess. They helped my back pain so much. I have never in my life had pain like i had with this surgery, i will never again say i have a high tolorance to pain. I will have more PS in the future, but I'm so glad this surgery is in the healing stage. How are you feeling?

Hi There~Thanks for the comment. Thinking back, I probably should have gone to the ER too for pain. It was totally uncontrolled for the 1st 10 days I would say. Looking back, I dont know how I survived? I'm 4 weeks out now and I feel a lot better but I still need to take my Percocet in the Evening time. Around Supper, My Belly gets really sore. I guess from being up and about, back to "normal"? Plus I have a Seroma~I dont know if that causes more pain? I'm not returning back to my PS...Bad Bad Bad experience~I dont want to leave details on this website...Do you still "hurt" at the end of the day? TY:) Amy

Oh Amy ! I'm so sorry you had a bad experience with your PS. I am just a few days shy of 4 weeks PO. I still get very sore after sitting for a long period of time, and I can tell I get tired very easily. I still can't sleep in my own bed yet.
I do still have a little pain around my upper abs, I tell myself that it must just be the healing process. I'm not taking anything for the pain anymore, although it would probably help I guess. I see you don't want to talk about your bad experience, but this is exactly where you should talk about it. By telling your story, you give others the information they need to make a solid decision. I know when I was looking for a PS here in the area, I read anything and everything about his work. If just one person would have said they had a bad experience, and I felt the PS was at fault, I would have made a different choice. I hope you get to feeling better. Can you go see another PS in your area, just for a check up? Just to make sure you are healing correctly?
