Asked By:silva.s2311 in Miami, FL

My fifth day of lipo and im still not feeling 100 %. They took out 5liters I believe of fat from my flanks, abdomen, and back. I feel dizzy a lot at random times, nauseous , and tachycardia. I am drinking Keflex which says those can be symptoms. Normally how should you be on your fifth day? I already had 4 lymphatic massages and ive been eating meat and healthy. Also when I wake up I feel like all my organs are stuck together and it hurts to breath and I get dizzy until I walk a little.
