  • Posted to how long before you could fit into your jeans again on 21 Feb 2012

    I actually didnt put on my pre-op jeans until my two month mark. I had to go back to work at two weeks and everything was tight. I ended up buying some cheap jeans that was a size larger to wear to work. You just need room for the swelling for a while.

  • Posted to wedge pillow or recliner on 21 Feb 2012

    My living chairs did not recline so I bought a wedge pillow and also used 2 extra pillows on top of that. I'm sure sleeping in a recliner would have been more comfortable, but I think if you had to sit up or get up from the chair, you would still need help from someone. My husband had to pull me up by my arms to sit up from the bed so I could go to the bathroom. I had muscle repair, so It HURT to move. After 3 or 4 days, I was able to roll over and slide out of bed by myself. You just have make it as easy on yourself as you can the first few days.

    Mine was James Worrell. He did a great job. I am three months post op now. I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have about the surgery. I really learned a lot!

    I hope your recovery is going well. I had a breast reduction along with lipo and tummy tuck. I did not have much pain from the reduction at all! The lipo hurt the worst. My biggest stress was how bad the incisions looked, esp. with all the scabbing. It does get better looking every day. I kept steri strips on them because they help them flatten out.

  • Posted to Lipo on thighs feel hard 8 days out. Do I massage? on 30 Nov 2011

    I asked the nurse during my post op on Nov. 28th. She said I should start massaging it to get rid of the "woodiness". It hurts to rub it, but I think it helps. I have been trying Arnica cream, but I don't know if it makes a difference.
