8 days postop

Legs and knees still very swollen. It's hard to bend down to put on clothing. I started having a twitching pain shooting through my leg and side. The doctor said it was the nerves reconnecting. I still have numbness in both legs. Overall not too bad. I stopped taking pain meds. The doctor said all of this was part of the healing process. I can't wait to be able to sit down.

5 days. postop

The swelling in the legs is so annoying. You can't sit, so it's really hard to elevate your feet and legs it hurts when you get up out of the bed and it hurts to stand . The ice does not really help the swelling.

I was extremely nervous to get this procedure. The doctor assured me that everything would be fine. I had the procedure at the Magna Surgical Center. The nurses were very nice and friendly. My appointment was at 1:00 pm. I was in the back and prepped with my IV by 1:30. The surgery went great. Next thing I remember, I was waking up. First day the pain on a scale of 1 to 10 was about. 12. It felt like you had an extreme workout session. The pain medicine minimized the pain but it did not stop it completely. The hardest part was the stiffness and soreness which made it hard to get in and out of bed. My legs were so swollen from the lipo. I had no leakage. I thought it was weird, so I called and they told me that it was ok because it comes out in the urine. I just have a compression belt and leg wraps now. I will get the compression garment when I go back for my 2nd follow up appointment. Be prepared to use your arms to lift yourself up and down in the bed. That to me is the most painful. Overall, satisfied with the procedure. It's a journey.

Dr. Shifren was very informative, great bed side manner. I knew I had made the right choice. His staff was very professional and nice as well. Dr. West made me feel very comfortable at my initial consultation.
