So I am swollen again. One day I am flat the next day I am not. I am down 14 pounds from when I got the surgery. Just started the gym yesterday. I am in pain because of the gym maybe I went back too soon. With chlothes on I look 100 percent better than before. I am hoping to keep shrinking and I can't wait for the swelling to go away.

If you are still swollen go to GNC and buy the DIETERS TEA that makes you poop away all the toxins. It works!

Day 8 post up in shock did not get laser lipo like I thought I did

So I went in for my post op. During my consultation I spoke to 2 other ladies not my actual surgeon. When I left I was under the impression I was getting laser lipo which is why I did not go all the way with a tuck in hopes that the laser will tighten my skin. As days went by I started thinking about not remembering the laser part so I asked my surgeon and he said I did not get laser. He said it was tuscement method and I should still see results. He said I have to be patient as the swelling will decrease month by month. And he was surprised that I thought it was laser lipo as advertised on the website. He works there part time. I would have been more angry but he is a great surgeon with great bedside manors and has done work all over the world even reconstructive surgery on poor children in other countries. Anyway he said I looked as I am suppose to look for 8 days post op. My insicions are so tiny you can't see them and I can't wait for time to go by so I can get back in the gym and I am praying for my skin to do what it's suppose to do. I am really swollen especially after 12 hours at work and it hurts only when I bend down or if I have my compression garment off and start moving around. Updated pictures below

What is the tucemont (spelling) method? I think I'd be pissed if that's not what I asked for. Good luck with your recovery

Did you find out the correct term for your procedure? I tried googling it how you spelled it and I could not find anything. Your results look good by the way!

Hi yes. It was actually in her original post. Tuscement . I googled it all these various surgery options are sooo confusing lol

He said that with tuscement there is little to no bruising or bleeding and less damage to nerves. I think it breaks down the fat differently. So he said he didn't melt the fat to suck it out. That's probably why I was laughing and talking through the procedure and I had no bruises afterwards. As far as a tummy tuck he said not to worry he thinks I will like the results and after 9 months he can do a revision if I want to look even flatter. I am trying diet and exercise first. And yes all these surgery options are confusing.

Is yours posted? How are you now?

No i didnt post mine. Im still sore around the incision areas. Right now wearing compression garment 24/7 is the hardest part especially sleeping with it has been the hardest. Without it feels weird aswell. How long are you planning on wearing yours? Btw as far as results, i see its just like yours but i want it to go more flatter. I guess we will have to wait 3 months for the actual results.
