26 Year Old Female, Smart Lipo: Lower Abdomen and Arms - Chicago, IL

I'm now 2 weeks post op and the pain is close to nothing at this point. Sometimes, when I change position, I feel a tearing sensation. Otherwise, I'm now pain free and can work my 12-13 hour shifts without feeling like I'm about to pass out by the end. hehe All of the bruising is completely gone and I'm finally starting to notice results on my arms! =] There's still numbness to my arms and flanks, but it's been getting better day by day. Dr. Truong said I only have to wear the compression garment for 2 weeks. However, I noticed that if I take it off, the swelling comes back and then the pain increases. I ended up buying a stage 2 garment by Marena just for comfort purposes. I'm not really sure if it'll affect the end result, but it makes me feel more comfortable especially if I'm out doing stuff all day.
My only concern is that I'm worried he may have not taken out enough fat from my upper abdomen. It seems a little bit uneven, but I know I'm only 2 weeks post op. :( I have my 1 month post-op appointment in a couple weeks, so I'll address it to him then.

On days that I don't work, I feel great! In all honesty, I actually feel much better with the compression garments. As uncomfortable as they can be underneath clothing, it decreases the swelling substantially and adds support. Dr. Truong said I only have to wear it for 2 weeks, but I think I might wear it longer just for comfort purposes. So, we'll see how the swelling is at the 2 week mark! =]
I'm starting to get hard lumps on my lower abdomen, which makes me so worried that it's going to end up lumpy for the end result. I've been massaging it twice a day for 15 minutes and it seems to make the scar tissue or whatever it is soften up, so I'm hoping I'm right!
...My one thing is that I don't know how people go to work 2 days post op!!! ...I'm a nurse though, so I'm always on my feet running around and lifting patients and what not. I literally felt like hell yesterday and that was at 8 days post op! My first day back at work was 4 days post op and boy, was I sore and exhausted!!! If I had to do it over again, I would have taken the whole week off. So warning: for those of you who have jobs that can be harsh on the body, take longer than 2-3 days off!!!
I'm not seeing much of a difference in my arms...but the results on my abdomen are amazing! =] I'm excited to see the changes through the next few weeks! I have my 1 month post op appointment on February 1st.
