Looking Forward! - San Jose, CA

I have steadily gained weight around my midriff over the last 2 years - despite diet and regular exercise. I did insanity for 4 weeks, 6 days a week and lost fat from all over the body except my tummy. I decided to get the fat sucked out and start anew.
I saw the ads for Physicians Skin and Weight on billboards and Facebook and decided to give it a try. I got a consultation the same day I called and an appointment for surgery the next Friday which was awesome!
Planning to get upper and lower abdomen, flanks and bra rolls done.

I got my procedure done 4 days ago. Had 1300ccs of fat removed from my upper and lower abdomen, flanks and bra-roll. It took 3 hours and was a great deal more painful than expected. The process of filling in the tumescent fluid was uncomfortable and so was the suctioning. The lasering wasn't as painful. The doctor had to give me demerol because of how painful it was.
The first night was restful because of the medication. I leaked a lot but the pads absorbed it. I leaked again the second day. Took 500mg tylenol both days. The third day I was sore and uncomfortable. Today is the fourth day and I feel very tired. and low. My brain isn't as sharp....
Did my post-op checkup yesterday and the nurse said that I was healing ok. She showed me how to correctly wear the compression garment. She suggested Arnica supplements for the swelling.

Am feeling much better. Got myself a TC body shaper from Nordstrom. It is very firm and helps keep the swelling down. I do have swelling still. My midriff is sore to touch.My flanks hurt when I lie on my side, but I am feeling better as the days go on. I am planning to work out today.
The pics that I uploaded are from day 4. You can see the bruising and some swelling. Day 1 was the best look - flat and thin - I hope that will be the final look after I heal.
Am feeling knots and develop under the skin - I am massaging them.
