any new pics or updates?

are you just having the small lump area removed? or the whole area underneath your bum too?

hot hot hot! have you measured inches lost at all?

how is your bad side doing? any better or new pictures you can post?

i am 14 days post op. i ran today (just under 3 miles interval style) and i'm not a runner. i'm a biker and lifter. i think it depends on how much you have removed and how well you are feeling over all. i had just under 1 liter removed, had not too much bruising, normal(?) swelling but constantly felt like my puncture holes were always going to rip open (mostly during the first week). i read elsewhere that another runner was running by day 8. by day 4 i went for a light stroll on the elpitical and felt ok (with a pre-percoset) and have been increasing ever since (moved from eliptical to bike then stepper). started doing only upper body weights (day 4), added one or 2 leg extensions/curls (day 7) and yesterday was my first all leg day workout and i was leg pressing 250 pounds again. i think it really depends on the person, what you were doing before, how your swelling is etc etc. i wore a compression garment too while running but just a tight spandex for the rest. good luck!
