User Avatar

Hello.I recently went to have lipo. After I was put under they had a hard time intubating me...and after being under for 20 min they woke me up. Long story short, I'm rescheduled, the anesthesiologist team know my history, an know how to prepare for my surgery, my problem now is EXTREME muscle pain from head to toe, INTENSE! Im in severe pain...I can't walk, every muscle in my body HURTS. Am I allergic to anesthesia? What should I tell the anesthesiologist next time, so I don't experience this.

I agree with Dr Commons. This drug should only be used in the short term, MUST be stopped at least two weeks before ANY surgery and the key to weight reduction is watching your calories. You have made an investment in yourself, now take full control!!

You are still early.   By 3 to 6 months you should see results if indeed 1.5 liters of fat was taken.    Be patient at present.   My Best,   Dr Commons

You should be getting massage, hyperbaric oxygen, and in tight compression at this time. RF treatments like venus legacy and exilis ultra should be started in the near future.  Best, Dr. Emer.
