I'm not a big person, 5'3 about 135lbs but I've never had a great stomach. And after baby it was worse...and I felt like it looked like I still has a bump even a year post partum. I looked into coolscultping & then decided on laser lipo. I booked with American Lipo Center & was very nervous on procedure day. The Valium & pain medicine made me a little more relaxed but I just wanted it over asap. The procedure itself www more painful than I thought it would be...personally I would rather have been asleep but I think my mind was doing the worst part. After the procedure was done I went home & slept. I was still leaking a lot of fluid & my husband helped me change my pads & that was painful. I also got very dizzy after taking off the garments. Day 1 post op I went to Disney on ice with my husband & daughter. I was determined & it felt good to get out. After I went home & napped. Day 3 post op I went to the gym with my husband & walked 2 miles very slowly on the treadmill. I also was able up lift my 24 lb daughter. Still very swollen & sore but feeling better. I posted 2 day post op pics. I Will update more later

Your results look great so far! Don't push yourself to hard, make sure to rest ;) although Disney on Ice is a must see...I saw that years ago in the Toy Story days! Did your doctor advise you to do a massage on your stomach post op?

Yes my doctor advised to get lymphatic drainage massages 1-2 times/week. I have my first tonight. I am nervous because I'm still so sore. I'll update how it goes. Hopefully it will speed recovery!!

My husband went back to work today so I had my daughter to myself all day. She's 24lbs (17 months) & at the end of the day now I'm super sore & swollen. I have a follow up appt with the doc tomorrow. Hopefully it goes well. I have also scheduled a lymphatic drainage massage pending a babysitter confirmation
