3 weeks post op still swollen

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.

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

Day 2 post up

Not in pain just sore. I feel some lumpiness under my skin. And I also feel some numb areas and swollen areas.

My initial consultation was nice. The staff was friendly. Will know more today after the surgery. Will be able to update. Hopefully it will not be painful as I will be awake under local Anastasia. ***UPDATE*** He was excellent bedside manners. Explained procedure every step of the way and kept me calm and collective.
