Hi...I had SL done on Aug 28th on my abs and
flanks and I have to agree that SL is
marketed as a quick recovery procedure, but
I found that I needed at least a week off. I
was very nervous, but once the pain of the
anaesthic being pumped into my body is over,
it's wasn't bad at all. Now and again I felt
the burn of the laser, at which point the
doctor would pump in a bit more freezing. At
the end of the procedure, the doctor told me
he had sucked out 2lbs of fat (I'm 5' and
100 lbs pre-op).
Day 2, I was REALLY swollen at my lower abs
& quite worried that it was so BIG. At
my follow up appt on day 5 I had lost half
and inch on my upper abs, but gained 2"
on my lower. Now at day 14, I see a bit of a a bit different, but not much...I weigh the same &
feeling a bit discouraged that I have peaked
at my progress.
