Did you not have fluid build up without the garment?
TU
January 28, 2013
@cabybakes, The garment was causing me to swell really bad in my lower legs, ankles, feet and breast. I did not have fluid build up without the garment. I changed to only wearing at night then during the day and did not see a benefit. I actually looked better without it. So for now I am not wearing it anymore. I will keep yall updated.

Your recovery has been phenomenal compared to the other reviews I've read. I would really like to know about the pain factor as that is what I am dreading the most. Can you talk about that please?

@journeytome, I have a high tolerance for pain so I may not be the best person to use. But, the most pain I have experienced is the first 3 days and it happened when I needed to get out of bed the nurse would come in we would lock arms and she would pull.....Ughhh!! That hurt! I didnt start taking pain meds until the 3rd day. I took them for 7 days and after that I take Tylenol or Aleve if I feel achey. After being moved from the hospital to the RH I was able to walk around. I had to roll out of bed due to my stomach and back being sore but other than that its been around a 2 to 3 pain level. Now I will say that the cold does cause my muscles to ache. If I had to say what has helped my recovery the most was taking Wheatgrass it helps to replace low blood cells and if you think about it that is what helps the fat to take. I hope I have covered your questions but if not ask, ask, ask I will respond.

Girl I can say pow!!!! I'm glad that you can still wear the same slacks. Not to small not to big great! Some woman get their butt so big and waist so small that they can only wear spandex. Yeah the spandex looks great but who wants to walk around looking like a stripper all the time lol. So I know what to tell Yily. I want the natural look! Did you show her a wish pic?
TU
January 28, 2013
@Sugah i did not show a pic. She asked how big and I said medium just want it to be natural. I agree with the spandex, not too much into it.

You look great! Question tho.. Are you able to buy the medications one at a time? Will only be needing to but the injections is why I ask
TU
January 28, 2013
@Ensure yes u can buy what u want. When u get to the RH they will ask suggest u buy alll but if u tell them u have the others they will only get what u need. A lot of em on the list u can get from your local GNC or herb store.

What type of garment did you purchase ? I heard that compression garments are only needed for the areas you lipo. Did you have compression bottoms?

@keykey12, Dr. Yily will put you in a garment after surgery. It was the butt-in garment that covers below the breast to knees. I did not purchase an additional garment. Im not wearing a garment any longer.

I will post more pics on Friday. I asked Dr, Yily to keep my look as natural as possible. Didn't want the big Butt, I'm too old for that. I have been sitting on my butt since day 1 and since day 7 only wear my garment at night. The garment was causing me to have headaches, ankles, feet and lower legs swelling. So I guess I am the test dummy to really see if sitting on your butt decreases the fat intake. I will keep y'all posted.

@krazyray, I apologize I didn't ask how many cc's came out and in. For a massage I checked Whitepages for a Massage Therapist and was able to get a Lymphatic massage for $49 per hour, this was at one the popular massage places in the area.
