Day 6 post op

Day 6 Back to work!
First off, I just want to thank all of you. This site is awesome, I am so glad I have such an awesome group of women to support me.
On a more serious note…the update:
PAIN: Today I woke up in pain and took only 1 pain pill (typically take two) and that got me through the day, woo! I had to run around town to meetings all day today and all is well. The only thing bugging me is my right knee.. it is throbbing and it is HUGE.. but other than that, first full day out and about was fine.
SWELLING: My PS told me yesterday that I was at the peek of my swelling…I think it got bigger, I think my abs look more puffy. I don’t know!! Am I crazy to think that Day 1 results were my favorite so far? My hips are still swollen per usual…I am posting a pic pointing out the area from my belly button to my va·jay·jay- what is up with that???? I feel like this section is sticking out, is this normal?? Also, you can see the increased swelling in the front/side pic. I still a lot of bruising and swelling on my crotch area…GREAT!
LUMPS, BUMPS and ALL THINGS HARD: I feel like some sections of my skin are still very firm/ hard/ stiff and other sections are a mix of hard and soft. Guessing this is the bumps & lumps people talk about...I think the tissue is starting to breakdown (aka the soft spots) …and the lumps/bumps are from tissue that hasn’t broken down yet?….Does that sound right??? I hope that these areas will continue to break down—I am guessing this is what’s happening because the places that are bumpy now were hard and stiff before. Any thoughts? Experiences? I would love to hear them..
MASSAGE: I know my PS said I didn’t need to give them to myself or go get them….but I am massaging anyways…Feels good and gives me hope these bumps are temporary
SKIN PIGMENT: On the front view pic you can see the obvious bruising and then there are yellow spots all over, if this is like any other bruise ..the yellow means it is healing..so I’m ok with that… Anyone know what that dot/ bruise is below my belly button? So random!
DELIVERY: I got the Ab board!! I have it on now, I will let you know I a few days if this is a good investment. I also got a delivery from SPANKX. I got the high waist shorts and the high waist tights to get me through the hours I have to be in public and wear normal clothes. So let me make sure I have that right….I can replace the CG with spankx?
I think that’s about it for day 6, I feel puffy…I would love to hear your observations, is it in my head or do you see the increased swelling?

It's a roller coaster for the first 3 - 4 weeks you're so happy with your results, then why did I bother doing this and then all of a sudden things start to even out, need to put your patience hat on! :)
Seriously I think you look great hun xx

That is a perfect way to explain it!!!! Thank you so much, I hope so! I am in a long distance relationship and did not tell him. I will be seeing him at Thanksgiving, do you think the incision sites will be somewhat unnoticeable by then?

It's around 9 weeks away so I imagine they should be well healed by then. I have heard of some ladies massaging anti scar type creams into their incisions so that my be something for you to look into? But either way I'm sure he'll just be thrilled to see you and maybe with a little thought to lingerie placement and dim lights it will be the last thing on his mind!! ;))

Hey! I did vaser lipo on my lower abdomen and flanks on 14 sept. I am sooooo thankful to find your post as I am facing the EXACT same thing as you are. Great result on day 1-3 and bad swelling, out of shape and intense swelling day 4 onwards. I'm on day 10 now and it's hard and lumpy everywhere. The swelling is okay but gets really bad towards the end of the day. Oh well! Hope you are doing better!

I had crazy itching for about a 4-5 days when I was around 10 days post op. It was mainly on my sides and then it started peeling like after bad sunburn. I asked about it and was told it was due to having a general anaesthetic, it's something that happens to some people. It will pass, hang in there! :)

I had a bad reaction to the antibiotic and was so itchy red raw.
The rash went from just my torso then traveled all the way up to my neck, ears, down my thighs to back of my calves it was so bad I had to take steroids , use benedryl and hydrocortisone ointment.
It appeared about 6 or 7 days into the antibiotics and took a bit to get out of my system.

You're healing. Nerves reconnecting. My itching was out of this world.
Swelling is normal - I honestly think your knee is still very swollen. My foot swelled up so badly I couldn't fit into shoes after I had my inner knees done!! It goes. Elevate the legs as much as possible, and I did massage too.
