Vaser Much More Painful Than Expected

It is Naravee clinic in Bangkok :)

Hi all, I had Vaser surgery done 5 days ago and wow, I honestly have a high pain threshold but I found it very painful (I could hardly move for 2 days and convinced myself he'd done tumescant lipo on me!) I was under General and had my inner & outer thighs and knees done. The procedure took about 3.5hours. I stayed in hospital for 4 days (Normal in Thailand) which I am glad about as I would not have been happy going home in the state I was in. I had draining tubes for the first two days and since then just a plaster and no further draining. Can't imagine how swollen I'd have been if I never had them though. They put me in tightish bandages which were changed daily for 4 days then I was given the compression garment. Not comfortable to get into but ok once it's on. I feel better, much more supported when it is on, it gives a good silhouette and really holds you in place. I don't feel comfortable without it. I've been told to wear mine for about 2-3 months. Personally I'll wear it for as long as possible, after all this there is no way I'm ruining the outcome because I didn't wear the garment. I've also ordered a black one which looks just like black sports leggings and they are from the Veronique range. First day back in the gym today just doing upper body weights and been walking a lot. Not having a problem with swelling as much but boyfriend is massaging legs and feet 3 times a day bless him. Apart from being stiff if I sit or lie down for too long the only other thing really bugging me is having to still sleep on my back, there is no way I can lie on my sides yet and as the bed is hard where we are staying and my stomach ends up hurting from the compression garment! Oh well roll on another 11 weeks!

Hi all, I am about to have Vaser done in Thailand on my thighs and buttocks. I will be staying in hospital for 5 days with drains to aid the swelling and take it down. Did any of you in the UK have this? I'll also be having GA as opposed to local.
