The Pain is Worth It - London, UK

Yes so 1 year on...still not fat on lower abs but there is a lump which I think came about because at the beginning i did not keep up with the massage/ultrasound massage.....so my advice is massage, massage, massage....and change your diet immediately...go low carb or something to help the body continue to expel the fat...

So it's day 9 today. I finished my course of anti-biotics yesterday and I'm now only taking paracetamol before I sleep. I'm off the stronger pain killer. I'm still weak and tired but going for a lymphatic drainage massage today at the gym. I've been relying on my husband who massaged me morning and night and this really helps. Also had a hibiscrub bath last night which helped. I just have tiny dressings and the wounds have pretty much closed up. The garment still hurts but I now only have 5 days and I can wear it for 12 hours a day. I don't have to see the doctor for a few weeks now but I can call using a direct mobile number. It's all good just want to be able to shop etc.

I just had my procedure yesterday 3/11/11....I expected the worst. First I was given all the premeds, a cream on my arms so I did not feel the IV injection, some paracetamol and medication for anxiety. I felt drowsy and during the procedure drifted in and out of sleep..I had 6 litres removed from my Abs and feel great this morning. I can walk around, made myself a cup of tea, I am leaking heaps but will be having a lymphatic drainage massage later today and on Monday...will keep everyone updated how that goes, the amazing thing is I can see the results already and I am well pleased....
