So Happy I Did This! - Charlotte, NC

My Journey Through SmartLipo - Charlotte, NC

Brachioplasty with Liposuction - Charlotte, NC

I continued to walk around and do whatever I wanted on day two of recovery. I even took my ATV out for a ride. Nothing crazy of course, just enjoying outside on a beautiful Saturday. Around bedtime I felt the muscle ache type feeling setting in on my sides. But I still don't see what all this talk is about people say they feel like they have been hit by a train. I still feel fine. I don't need pain meds. I only get sore when I'm about to lay down for bed and I can feel it when I first wake up. The sore feeling I have now is no longer the same as doing too many sit ups, but I actually only feel it on my sides and back now. And it feels the same as if I had slept for too long and it made my back sore. I don't know if anyone can relate to that or not, but I have done that many times before in my pillow top bed. Laying around for too long will make me ache but boy its a dream to sleep on.

Sunday I was fine. Woke up a tad sore but wasent uncomfortable at all through the day. Still no bruising and the tenderness is fading quickly. I guess I was blessed with a quick healing response and won't be in agony like some other stories I have read on here. When I went to bed Sunday night I took of my additional compression garnment in the middle of the night. It was over heating me and I would go through a hot phase and sweat and them be cold from the moisture and on and on. I was prob only without that second one for around 5 hours. No problems at work today. I have both garnments off now and are washing them quick. I started looking at my own before photos I took and I can see a difference. I'm happy so far with the results and I'm positive that in a few mire months as the swelling goes down I will be exactly where I wanted to be. I will post photos later on in my recovery. I think I'm going to start back on my cardio routine now that I am not sore. Oh, and also I think my garnments are getting a little looser on me as the days have passed. For now I think there won't be any major changes so my updates will be farther apart .

I know this is an old thread but I was searching around mainly because I had smart lipo of the abs and flanks done three days ago. Every post I read people say how bad they are swollen or bruised or that they feel like a train hit them. I don't have any of that. I feel a little sore right before bed and right when I get up. But during the day I'm totally find. When I take my garnments off to shower I still only see maybe a quarter size bruise over the bone areas, but I don't feel them really just see them. I was starting to wonder if maybe my surgeon was too conservative since I don't feel horrible like everyone else. I am five foot and weighed in 126 at his office. My home scale said yesterday I weighed 125. I am swollen, but not so bad that if I took my garnmwnts off anyone would know. I basically look the same, but a tad leaner where the pouches were of concentrated fat. And I did watch the procedure. It was with aspiration. They removed 900mL so I know something was done. I can only conclude from here that I either have a very delicate skilled surgen or I'm just not as prone to the effects of pain from recovery as what seems like everyone else is. I haven't talen a single pain pill. And I don't need to. And the sore feeling at bed and in the am Dosent even feel as bad as it does when I have been at the gym. It feels more like I slept in the bed wrong and have some slight lower back discomfort.
