33yrs Old,2 Kids, Lipo on Flanks and Tummy

Thanksss! Those are 2 weeks before... They are now gonersss !!! :)

Hi, I agree...u looked great before, but I get the flanks thing. Have you ever had a TT in the past? I had an emegency c-section and no matter what , my belly was awful. I had a tt 10 yrs ago, and just had lipo on flanks, waist and under bra on March 19th. I'm ok with percosett, but still so sore! hard to tell what I will look like ...so swollen !

Ughhh i know... I thought i was going to wake up much better today but still sore... I think that what is mostly bugging me is the compression garment... Its driving me crazy!! I never had a tummy tuck... My belly was never the same after the csections... I accumulated a bit of fat on top of the scar of the csec! Tomorrow I am having a lympjatic massage so hopefully it will help on the swelling!

Your belly looked great before! Seriously! I know, I hate this garment! I'm also short waisted with long legs, so the garment presses and sometimes I feel like I can't breath! (I had panic attacks when I was pegnant because I had a large baby and no room because of my short torso!) Hmmm... My Dr. didn't say anything about a massage. My flanks hurt the worst. My upper back (under bra ) is not covered with any compression. I'm thinking of buying one. I stayed in the hospital one night. I was bleeding like crazy from my flank insicions. They only gave me one garment so I washed it and had to put it on wet!

Wowww!! I only bled a bit from one incision... But minimal... These garments suckkk... Jaja thats what is nostly bothering me... I had the first massage the day after surgery!! They help alott with the healing process... I am worried that my flanks dont even hurt, i hope all that fat is goneeee! My belly is what is hurting me more... And i insist i think the garment is what is causing 70% of the pain... But they say its crucial to use the garment 24/7 for 6 weeks.. You should find a garment that is full coverage from the back... I am getting another garment tomorrow also, hopefully one less uncomfortable!

Thankyouuu so much for the nice words!!! I always have hated my flanks!!! I weighed 105 and always had those flanks... Finally decided to take action on them! Will post pics as soon as i am capable of taking the garment without fainting! Jaja

I am about to call it a quits on this garment! The pressure in my stomach is killing me... Also I dont know why but I got a very bad stomach ache and diarrhea this afternoon... Si not feeling good at all today... I am supposed to go back to work Tuesday... I hope i am feeling better by then... I really want to know if the garment ia only to speed up healing or if its crucial for the final result....

Hmm... maybe you have a stomach bug. I live in Boston and it is going around. Most people are constipated after surgery. From what I remember reading, it is not crucuial for final results...I think it just speeds it up. But of course ask your Dr. Today ( day 4( is my first day without meds) I feel like someone kicked me with boots. I keep adjusting my stupid binder, but it actually hurts more when I take it off to shower. My flanks r so sore and look bigger and more square!

Ho are you feeling today? I am soooo itchy that I couldn't sleep. at first I thought it was my binder, but realized it is internal ! It is the nerve endings healing. Argh,,,,It is driving me nuts! Hope you are better today.

Oh God.... How can i explain... I am in crisis today... Went to get the lymphatic massages... They hurt but werent that bad... What is totally killing me is the compression garment... They stuck me in a smaller one and i hate it!!!! I got home amd had to take it off... I just pit the old one back on... Its better than nothing... I felt i could barely breathe when they put me the smaller one... I dont know how crucial for the end result the garment is... Funny you say about the ithching... I started itching like 20 minutes ago and didnt know why... Must be internal also... I am back to work tomorrow! Dont know how i am going to make it 8 hours sitting down with this freaking thing on!! Besides the itchiness how r u feeling????

Hi, I didn't see this until now. I am 2 weeks and one day post. Still itchy, numb, and get very swollen at night. Im now supposed to wear the garment 12 hours a day. I bought another one in Marshalls, size medium which is what I am. After I swell up it cuts into my skin. ! By 7 pm, I'm exhausted. Yesterday I slept better because I didn't wear it! How are you?

Also, took my measurements and kind of bummed. My stomach is down 1 1/2 inches, waist is up 1/2 in ! (morning). I want to look curvier...I realy hope I will be happy, because right now I'm kind of down. I also have pms, and had 2 slices of salty pizza. Bad, I know!

Oh well you are not alone!!! I am kind of freaked! My main objective were the flanks!!! I And i feel them exactly as before, i dont see the difference i wanted. My belly is super flat bit that wasnt my priority... I really really hope its swelling! I dont care it takes long to see the results I just want to see them!! I

Also i am PMS and am only thinking about food! :$ i will see if i post pics today! Are you doing massages???

Hi, I'm just pressing the flanks myself. I am 2 1/2 post....It ls looking better in the morning...especially my flanks. That is still painful. At night I swell up like a balloon. I feel like the stupid garment makes things worse. I now have to wear it 12 hours a day....

Funny isn't it. My waist is great but the swollen hard abdomen is freaking me out. We are all so different.

Hi again for all of you young people, I am 54 and getting ready to have my surgery plus lipo next Monday, my question is I am going to have my FIRSt Brazzillian Wax on Wed.for the surgery.., I know I will survive the surgery but I am not sure I will survive the wax!! Any tips????:):)

Just relax enjoy it all and visualize the wonderful new you.

Now you are the first person I have ever heard say " Just sit back and relax" O h Lord I hope and pray I just don't get up and run out the door!:)

It is just a saying to say nature will run it's course and your body will respond accordingly after you do whatever you can do.
