Ok i'm back.

So...Oct 2000 I had my first baby and I blew up! I wasn't one of the lucky girls who are able to just drop the weight and fat right after birth so...let's just say, I stayed fat.

I had my second baby in 2008. I was lucky enough to not gain too much weight but the weight from my first baby has just been long over due and since I'm not consistent with exercising I decided I needed a reason!

Smart Lipo is my motivation for me to exercise and get healthy and stay healthy! Of course eat healthy as well. I didn't spend all this money to waste it!

Anyhow...for me the most painful part of the procedure was the numbing part. Other than that everything else was smooth.

The next morning after my procedure I was pretty swollen, sore, and bruised up! I didn't have to take any pain medication. My bruises went away after a few days or maybe it was a week, cant remember.

I drained for 11 days but after my 4th day it was just a little here and there.

After two weeks most of my soreness went away.

I'm now a month and a few days post and still a little sore and my swelling is finally getting better.

I will post pics once the doc sends them to me.

I see and feel lumps that I thought were normal but I don't think they are any more! I hope it is normal and will go away.

Hi Aznchic -- Congrats on your surgery! Some post-op lumps can be normal; has your doctor recommended massaging them?

I did a triactive last week and I just scheduled one for next week. I really hope it helps!

What are these lumps that many are experiencing? Fat that is being cleared?

Mine are hard n its only in certain areas. I had it around my belly bottom and one on the bottom left of my stomach. Someone told me that she wore her garments for 23 hours a day for six weeks n never experienced any lumps. So I suggest to wear the garments the way she did.

Hi, i am glad you posted your pic because my stomach resembles the way yours looked and i was told to get a tummy tuck because of the overlap but i choose not too. Wow we can see the true difference instead of those lil fat pouches then the smart lipo. Anyhow i am going tomorrow for my procedure wish me luck.

you are an adorable family...I hope you have a very successful recovery... I had abs and sides done on July 1 and have no regrets.

Thanks! Unfortunately my older son ran off so it was just the three of us. So far I do like my results...I just don't like the swelling.
