Vaser 6/3/2010 - Doing Pretty Good

Well I just got my touch up done yesterday. The most difficult part is getting up after laying down in the bed for so long. But so far today I havent taken any pain pills, it more feels like I overdid a workout on my back area. I removed all my pads since I am not leaking anymore, in doing so I already noticed a difference the crease that was in my back is just about gone and I can't wait for the swelling to go down to see the results. As for my chin/neck I did take that garment of yesterday to wash it but I have left it on since then. I noticed some difference but I have a lot of swelling so I can't wait to see what it will look like without the swelling. My chin/neck isnt causing any pain at all right now. I think I am staying off the pain pills and will just go to Tylenol which if I can will be impressive since I am not even 24 hours out from having the surgery. Again Dr. Atluri was great and I did really well during the procedure. So now just waiting for the final results!

July 1 - Today is week 4 of my abs procedure. I was cleared from the garment! The Dr. did suggest a firming tank with the sticky edges so the tanks doesnt roll up. Macys had about 6 different styles to choose from about $32 - $60 depending on what style and whether you want firm control or super firm which is much thicker. I bought 2 styles with a Macy's coupon it came up to about $58 which was the price of one in Dillards. SO EXCITED I made it thru the garment phase! Today is also day 6 for my arms still swollen and tender... my elbows bother me more than anything not to the point you need any medication but just can be painful at times. The Dr. said I can take the garment off at night so I am happy about that! Hopefully that will help with some relief.

Week 3 - The Dr. requested that I wear my garment another week during the day still taking it off at night. She stated I still had swelling which would continue to go down. June 25th - I had my arms and back bra area along with tube top area done today. Procedure went well no issues with pain. After I went home and slept for a few hours. Suprisingly I was up for several hours after that. I took 1 percaset just in case to get a goods night sleep. My Dr. said this one would be a piece of cake compared to the abs and I guess she was right. Day 1 of arm procedure - Changed my pads. Pain is manageable don't need any pain medication at all for this, so much easier than the first procedure. Had no issues driving. Needed no extra sleep. Only felt soreness from the procedure. Day 2 of arm procedure - Got to take shower and wash garment today. Took a few pics. Range of motion is getting better as far as moving and lifting arms. Still no need for pain medication. I am hoping for the swelling to go down quick. Can't wait to see the final results.
