You ladies are swollen. The more drainage you had the first two days the better. Trust me Im a month out and still swollen. My doc said Im still going to continue to shrink. It'll get better;)

In my instruction guide from my doctor it's told me not to use hot/cold packs, so I didn't I'm guessing the cold packs may keep the areas numb longer? Im still alittle sore on my sides and I had mine done on APril 27th. I think it's like a sore just needs time to heal.

Can't wait until my week pass to see my results.

Renewmesoon I saw it as soon as I took my garmets off the second day lol. I had no pouch!! I still don't and when I eat my stomach doesn't poke out like before. I went out dancing for the first time last weekend and had on a cut off shirt everybody was like dang girl you look good lol.

I can not wait to see a flatter tummy! The pouch so ruins my cute outfits. I wear spanx everyday to smooth me out; so maybe the compression garment won't be so bad for me. Thanx, Pheona!
