Day 1 I was tender and by tender I mean I could not have anyone near my lower abdomen or lay on my stomach. I wore spanx from the time I left the office. I was swollen and uncomfortable but able to bear the discomfort. I was not expecting to be that swollen.
Day 2 Still a bit tender but getting better and the swelling has started to go down.
Day 3 bruised. So much bruising. Still not bad but I'm worried as all of the reviews have stated horrific pain around day 5. Not looking forward to that but hoping I'm one of the lucky ones. Will keep you guys posted. I have pictures of day 3 so we will start there.

Thanks for sharing I am thinking of doing this. Was wondering if I would need time off work. But I guess I will for the discomfort and pain. Let me know if you notice a difference thanks!

I had it done twice now and went to work the very next day twelve hours as a nurse
It is a numb feeling but nothing intense enough to miss work

Day 3

sculptor321

It's day 3 and the swelling has almost gone away completely. I'm still tender just like you would be when someone touches a bruise. I have been wearing spanx from the time I left the clinic. Have not worked out yet because I'm still sore. I'm a bit nervous and scared about the coming pain after reading so many awful experiences on here. Keeping my fingers crossed I'm one of the lucky ones.

Is your Dr's name really "Fat off"?

It's a franchise. The real doctor's name is Katakia. LOL

Hi I'm on day 2 and the same for me, very swollen, sore and bruised.
Not so much pain just sensitive and sore. I haven't worked out yet either. I'm going to get arnica for bruising as I have my second session tomorrow (flanks and bra fat). Fingers crossed too :)

Day 5 SPANX ARE MY NEW BEST FRIENDS

sculptor321
Wear your spanx or you'll be sorry. When I take them off I feel it pretty bad. Yesterday afternoon I started feeling the pins and needles. Some sharp pains throughout the day but nothing I couldn't breathe through. I can best describe the soreness now like after I had my c-section. I'm slow to get up from sitting or laying down but not crazy amounts of pain. I have had a couple of really sharp pains that have stopped me in my tracks but they don't last. That's the one thing I have to say is that the pain is intense but it only lasts a few seconds. Have not had to take any pain medicine so Yay! I have not resumed my workouts but I have been walking. Bruising had started to clear up.
