I had lipo on abs and flanks a month ago. I still have numbness and feel very, very puffy; but what worries me the most is that I'm getting abnormally hungry yet remain mostly sedentary. I'm close to my ideal weight but haven't started exercising yet because I get more swollen by the end of the day (still wearing spanx-type garment). Help! Is this typical? Advice?

It is important to have aggressive massage to prevent the scar tissue from building up and if it is starting to now, then either resume massage or have the massage more often. Also discuss this with your surgeon.
