Thinking About It for a While - Brooklyn, NY

Thinking about it for awhile but didn't want to bring it up to my husband because of cost. After a sport injury, I had a couple steroid shots which made put on a little size. I workout 5 days a week but my arms weren't really slimming and to no avail no six pack. One day my husband said to me " you have been working your ass off in the gym, and I see changes but have you ever though about lipo. So relieved he said that, I pulled up docs I have been considering which leads me to here. I actually had my procedure today, 8/7/14. I was extremely nervous about anesthesia but I'm here, AWAKE. I did my arms, abdomen and flanks. I didn't get my Percocet until 2 hours after the surgery so I can definitely describe what it felt like to me. If you have had the experience of working out for the first time you should be able relate. So this is what my arms felt like before Percocet. Doing tricep dips for the first time and doing about 100. Usually you would feel the pain the next day when you move but in the case of lipo move or not you feel the pain. Stomach area feels like doing abs for the first time, doing 500 reps and waking up the next morning and trying to get out of bed. Instead of feeling it when you move, it's a constant pain. After Percocet, HEAVEN!!!!!! No arm pain but during the motion of standing up I feel it in abs and flanks.
My mouth is extremely dry so I have been drinking a glass of water per hour, mainly because Percocet has extremely high levels of acetaminophen. Take care of the body on the inside and out. I ate because I was so hungry and I have urinated about 8 times already( too much info). My major concern is drainage because I don't know what's regular. I know it depends on the the amount tumescent solution used and the person so I am unsure. I have been resting but also walking around my home every time I go to the restroom because doc said I should move around. Was it worth it? I put not sure because I haven't seen my results yet. I will update it later on.

Woke up, took Percocet, feeling a little groggy. Visited my doc, he showed me my scars which very tiny and showed me how redress my bandages. But I'm walking around, doing house cleaning. The more I move the more drainage. You must get the protectants for the bed and surgical dressing. The drainage is crazy. Place your oldest sheets on the bed and have it set up prior to surgery so you don't have to it after u get back. Drink lots of water and listen to your body.

The pain is half what it was today than it was two days ago. Still drainage. Swelling has gone down a bit but I refuse to look at myself naked before a week has passed. I don't want to be too hasty to judge. My doc said I should think about massages so starting yesterday after taking my Percocet I would wait an hour then massage my arms, abdomen and flank for five to ten minutes. Doc said in a downward motion which helps with drainage. So I will be doing this twice a day everyday from now on. My next follow up is on Monday. Looking forward to my weeks reveal on Thursday.
