My Investment Journey

Today I am 23 days post Op With Dr Ugo … my 2nd week I had a little fluid drained off my side. About 116 of fluid I believe, I felt the sensation which is wildly stinging as the massage therapist Performed my lymphatic drainage massage. My first round of massages was the first 10 days after surgery I paid for a second package with a more private massage therapist who does the red light cavitation. The red light therapy helps with the hard spots from bruising and swelling. About 17 days post op I had a second fluid pull. Seems like it’s all completely gone at this point. However I have retained fluid or just more swelling in my legs from not being able to sit on my butt rather kneel all over lol. I suggest you keep plenty of Arnica gel Arnica cream and the Arnica salve Because during this time you’re going to need it another thing I found very useful is if you take witch hazel and rub it all over your body your bruising goes away quicker. I don’t like the fact that I can’t sit down yeah it’s becoming very very annoying at this point but my butt is starting to look fantastic. Overall I am able to bend not completely touch my toes but bend over like an L. I have lost 6 pounds. My eating habits have changed significantly I am not as hungry as I used to be. Overall I’ve gotten a lot of great compliments so far

I feel Good My body is starting to heal really well. I will be posting pic updates.
Arnica Tea and cream and gel have become my best friend in helping me heal. I stopped draining from my drains on day 4/5. I have a lot of muscle soreness and tightness. However as long as I get my lymphatic massages it really helps.

I did have a little bit of a Serroma (fluid) on the right side of my stomach which is a pocket of fluid that’s really painful, and the Post Op Nurse had me drained in less than 30 mins.
I’m not sure but these images are not loading well. I will post my Ig on my next update which will be 14 days post op on Friday May 11

2 days post op and I said Out loud,”WHT THE HELL DID I DO THIS TO MY BODY!?” However, that is definitely the pain talking. I started getting massages the next day. As you can see I have A LOT of FLUID and reviewing the pics it even looks painful. To help rub yourself lightly at least 1hr or 30 mins before your massage. This will help you drain more. And will make it easier on you when the therapist is working her magic. It wnt let me post those pics. But after my 2nd massage which was today I do feel a difference the 1st week will be the worst. I don’t have the urge to eat but my family is def help me keep going. If it helps eat in increments. Take all your meds as prescribed and stay tuned for nexts weeks review.
