2 1/2 week update
Last week was really tough. My legs were very sore and I returned to work on Monday. I was really regretting my procedure. This week I do finally see improvement. I also have very little discomfort. All of the areas still feel strangely numb. Like you just left the dentist. And itchy. And I can't wait to throw this compression garmet in the trash!!! My ps requires you wear it for 23 hrs a day for 6 weeks. :( I haven't seen any change in the scale. I know that he only removed 4 lbs, but I still weigh the same as I did before the procedure. I know I'm complaining a lot and sound really negative, but recovery is tough. I'm trying to keep positive and believw I will be satisfied with the end results.

Hope you are feeling better. I have my preop tomorrow. Reading about these rough recoverys is making me nervous!
I know recovery for everyone is different. I didn't mean to discourage anyone, but there are definitely some inconviences you have to deal with. Week 1 & 2 were tough. And I think the fact that it was the busy holidays made it worse.
How are you feeling? Hope you are happy with your results
My 6 week visit was last Thursday. And I'm a little disappointed. I have a strange swollen spot near my right hip in the pelvic area. The dr said it could be a pocket of fluid or swelling and we need to allow more time to see what it will do. It shows when I wear thin clothing now that I am free from the cg. This Sunday I wanted to wear a knit dress to church and it was visible. He said if it doesn't go down he can go back and redo that area, but that's not really something I want to do again. I'm still having numbness and tingling in the lipo areas. My husband insists that I look great. And that my waist is much more defined. I wanted to feel pretty and confident, but I don't because of this weird spot. I will try to post a pic of it today.
I have a very similar spot 7 weeks post op... Has yours gone down..?
No. It really bothers me too. What did your dr say?
He said it would go away like everything else. I have the numbness and a severe burning sensation. I just wasn't expecting it to be like this. He says everyone heals differently and everything should calm down by 3 months, but I'm worried. I actually scheduled a lymphatic massage for next week to see if that would help.
That's a good idea. Let me know how it goes. I'm going to try that too.
I was able to get worked in for a lymphatic massage yesterday. I lost 2.5 lbs over night. I think it REALLY helped. I booked a follow-up for next Thursday. Let me know how you feel after yours.
How does the soft spot look and feel? I'm booked for Tuesday.. Did she do a machine and manual or just manual? I'm retaining so much fluid so I hope it Helps!
Also do u still have bruising?
I have very slight bruising on the back of my thighs.
She only used her hands. The swollen spot just feels fleshy, but it had a distinct border. The left side of my abdomen is flat. I'm really worried that it won't go away on its own and I will a. Have to have lipo again or b. Have a deformity forever.
Did u ask if she was trained in lymphatic massage?
Yes. She was the only staff person at the spa that can do lymphatic
Ok... I'll let you know about mine

I just started using arnica gel today. I didn't know about it before and I can't get the pills where I live. Traffic is too bad to try to go to the next town and find some on Christmas eve.
Hope your feeling better. My body shape looks kinda the same as yours only i put on some pounds in the last few months so i'm living vicariously through you at the moment. Hope you were able to enjoy the holidays a little bit. I will post some before photos soon...just been working so much
I gave lump just like that , what happened to it ?
