So I only had it done today and I have to say it's definitely not painless like I though it would be. I had it done under local and I felt quiet a few jibs and jabs. After pain feels abit like a burning / tight feeling. I can't wait to have a shower tomorrow and see the results without this terrible garment and padding. I also can't wait to it no long uncomfortable. Will update again soon

1 day post op now and just had my first shower. I was very light headed and felt like a needed to vomit had to lay down for half hour before I could get up to get into the shower and then was only in ther for not even 5 mins before j felt light headed again.

Was painful and hard to get th garmet back on, I'm kinda regretting it but I'm not. Mainly because I had not being able to do stuff on my own, but my results are noticeable already and I'm still swollen and my doctor said I'll shrink for 3 months.

Yesterday and today have been better. It's still uncomfortable but I think it's mainly the swelling. To be honest after reading so many reviews on here I thought it was going to be easier then it is lol maybe I have a low pain threshold. My original garment was way to tight where I couldn't breath and has started to leave indents so I just went and brought some Spanx and gonna use that toll swelling goes down more. Hope it doesn't effect my results. I have added photos of 2 and 3 day post op with before photos.

I had revision lipo done also on Jan 13th.,..and you are describing just what I am feeling. I gained 10 pounds in one day from the fluids and only 4 have gone away so I am carrying that weight around my waist like an innertube and have a lot of stitches that are now getting sore and catching on things. I get the stitches out on Wednesday and can't wait. I have NO energy (my TT was 9/15) and no appetite and am just existing...but know that every day, I'll get a little more steam back...

You are OK to use the spanx - I had my choice but I only have medium ones which fit fine pre-surgery and now would KILL me to try to fit into again...so I am practically using a safety pin to keep my garment on for now...here's to tomorrow and maybe losing some of this tumescent water weight! Hang in there...

I am a stomach sleeper and it was 2 months after my tummy tuck before I could comfortably find that position again. I am now sleeping in a reclining chair and my belly seems to like to be flat on my back! Yesterday was the worst day for me - went back to taking percoset and scratching my head as to why I did this again...and today, I feel great...took a shower, am 5 pounds lighter, the binder fits comfortably and I can put on regular pants. I think my body is beginning to release the fluids. I see the doctor to have stitches removed tomorrow...another step forward

I had mine done on January 8...and it was definitely not as painless as people made it seem on those YouTube videos! I woke up a couple times and had to take a break during the procedure. I actually went back to work 4 days later (I'm a nurse) and struggled a lot through my shift!! So everyone's different! But the results are going to be great!!! It'll be worth it! I'm already seeing amazing differences in my body, so hang in there girl! If you start getting hard lumps underneath, just make sure to massage them morning and night!
