I'm on day 3 post-op from Lipo of the abdomen, flanks and inner thighs. Although I do see results already, I also see a lot of swelling. Hoping to see continued better results! Would love to hear what others experience with swelling and what type of compression garments, etc. Will the swelling go down? Are spanx ok? Updated on 15 Feb 2016: Pain in pelvic area throughout the day when getting up or sitting down. Sometimes just moving while sitting. Searing, burning, knife like. Severe. Nerves reattaching probably. 4-1/2 weeks post op today. Noticed some mild pain yesterday for first time, but today when it hits it feels like I'm being cut and is horrible pain. Updated on 21 Feb 2016: 5-1/2 weeks post-op and I feel horribly bloated since I did 45 minutes of piloxing yesterday. I also had pizza so maybe that's it, but it's discouraging for sure.
