Ok so I'm one day out I'm super swollen but I'm up walking drinking plenty of water. I havent had much of an appetite but drinking a ton of water and resting staying in bed for the next 3days. I been using arnica gel. I only used the vicodin the first night it was uncomfortable to sleep but today I used Tylenol. I'm super excited can't wait till the swelling goes down and I can start to see results.

How are you doing now? Did you have any leakage/drainage post op?
March 12, 2014
So I'm 11days post op and oddly enough I feel great. The first 24 hours after the procedure I didn't touch my garment at all so whatever leakage or drainage I had was absorbed with the foam and gauze. After that I had no drainage. I was very swollen and sore. To this day I have had no discoloration or bruising. I returned to work 4days after and omg it was so hard to get in and out of the car lol but work was ok. Toward the end of the first 3days back to work I would swell a lot but once I was in bed I was fine. Sleeping was a struggle because I would only sleep on my back any other position didn't work so my back was really stiff. But as of now I started back at the gym yesterday and thankful I did my hour of elliptical with minor swelling after. I gained 8lbs post op so I didn't wanna sit around to much longer I did get permission first from my MD. I am seeing results day by day I try to keep my garment on at all times except showers of course I bought a few different kind for comfort reasons and functional reasons one for work, gym, and home the one for home is the tightest most uncomfortable one. I got mine from Bella Jane. I was 167 preop then up to 178 now I'm 174. Getting in and out of the car seems to be my only struggle. So so far so good I tried to add a lot of details and I will continue to update.

I noticed a few lbs about the procedure too but that could be from not draining?? I'm not satisfied with my garments though. Which ones from Bella Jane? Thanks for sharing and you're looking great!

I have the high waist brief it has snaps on the side and bottom...or try Design Veronique they are nice also. I go to the Md Tuesday so imma ask about draining certain areas are still numb. Also I had tumescent Lipo and smartlipo so I guess whatever fat that was emulsified with the laser takes time to be absorbed

I'm so excited!!!!..I'm home had my procedure done at 9am. A 2hr procedure took 4hrs but she told me it was because I had tough fibrous fat from working out and being healthy. I took my vicodin and valuim 30min before. Once in the office we put Bruno mars on and talked and laugh the entire time. In the beginning I felt the burning from the lidocaine injection but after that I felt ok. I had a few ouches. The area around my belly button was the worst discomfort it was tough but she kept giving me more local to make sure I was comfortable.
After the numbing she used traditional Lipo to get out most of the fat I felt little discomfort but around my belly button was the only area that gave trouble scar tissue was very tough. Then came the laser which was the quickest less painful part. I'm so happy I chose to go to her I felt so comfortable and confident in my decision. I got there at 9 left after 12:30. Home now cant wait till tomorrow to shower lol
