I had procedure done yesterday (Dec 3rd). I am very sore! The part that hurts the worst is above my pelvic bone. Everything is swollen. Doctor said that is to be expected for about 2 weeks.

I have change the gauze pads 4-5 times already. Heavy leakage. Ruined 3 white shirts already. Oh well!

Doctor said he took out about 6 lbs of fat out. I will post pictures as soon as I can.

Day 2 -- Virtually almost all the pain is gone. Sore has replaced it! Very, very swollen. There is a so much fluid on my ankles when I walk, I can feel the water swish around! My groin is so swollen, even the elephant man would be impressed! I'm going to call the Dr tomorrow.

I would be pefectly fine is it was not for that.

Day 24 - Still swollen quite a bit, but no pain at all. I'm still wearing the suppression garments.

When I do take them of is when I feel the most discomfort. No pain though. As soon as put them back on, no more discomfort....Kinda weird!

Pelvic region still has slight swelling and the pelvic bone is sore.

Great review?

I have just past the three week mark since my surgery.

Still swollen, but no pain what so ever.

Can't wait to see the final results!!!

I would definitely do this again.

Pics to be posted soon!!

I know. I was shocked at the amount as well.

I am feeling actually no pain at all from the procedure, I'm just REALLY sore.

The swelling down below has subsided some. I slept on two pillows underneath my butt. That help a lot.

Follow up is on Dec 16th at 9am. They have the before pics that they are going to give me. I'll keep taking them here until then.

6lb - Wow! I didn't think they removed that much. Can't wait to see pics when you're comfortable posting them.

How are you doing today?
