I'm a 25 YO female at 160LBs 5'5" getting my back, flanks, upper and lower abdomen and arms liposuctioned. I have never had invasive surgery of any kind and my appointment is tomorrow in Chicago with Dr. Ye. I have struggled with my weight and have been as low as 135. I never even at my lowest had the shape I wanted. I work out 4 times a week and enjoy lifting, cardio and kickboxing. I cannot wait to have this procedure. I'm nervous about iv sedation but ready for a change. I've been on Realself for along time contemplating and timing just worked out for now. Any advice, tips or tricks on healing or reducing bruises? I am so thankful for this community giving me the courage to do what I've always wanted to be confident in my body.

Day 1 Post Op

Day 1 Post Op: They ended up having to go GA. I guess I was very restless. They took 3000 ccs out of all the places listed. He wrapped me instead of putting me in a garment which I thought was strange. I put my own CGs on my arms and body today. I had bruising on my low back and entire stomach. I go back Sunday for my first check up. The pain is there but it could be worse. My arms hurt the worst and low back. Definitely a lot blood draining yesterday and this morning.

Day 2 Post Op

Hi everyone. I plan on posting some pictures today. I had my first shower and mostly used antibacterial soap with a wash cloth and running water. It was easier and I put bandaids with neosporin on my incisions before and after the shower. I took my compression garments off and washed one, the others were okay because they were only on less than 1 day and no stains / blood. I've been walking around a little more today, was able to do a face mask, make my own breakfast, and go to the mailbox. I feel better but I am very bruised. My stomach looks smaller and more shapely but the skin sort of looks wrinkled...any advice? Also, my lower back and vaginal area hurts. I've been switching on and off between Tylenol 3 and Oxycotin to stay pain free. I don't want to take it for more than three days. Feeling hopeful. My arms look smaller, but won't be able to tell until the swelling, bruising etc settles in. Good luck and ask questions!
Good luck! Let us know how it goes/went.
I would ask your doctor/nurse about the cocoa butter. Shower tips: take your time, especially after you remove your compression garment. Many other users have reported getting really light headed and even passing out.
