49 Year Old Male Who Works out 2 Hours/day - Corona, CA

When I hit 220, I had enough. Went to the gym & went crazy. Dropped 25 lbs and hit a wall. I tried the MUFA/PUFA diet which kept my weight at 195/193. Then I got hurt. Got knee surgery and went back to the gym. Again, I couldn't drop any more weight. So what pushed me over the edge were my pecks. I'm not one of these gym rats that carry that protein crap in the gym. I don't want to get bigger, I want to get smaller. I'm not in the gym to go to some competition. I'm there to be healthy. I would look in the mirror and see man boobs. The weight lifting was pushing my pecks out. This bothered me and so here I am doing VaserLipo. So going through the consultations, I'm thinking to myself why not take care of the muffin top too? I looked at all the lipo procedures and settle on this 1 because "it targets fat only". I had the procedure today. I knew the cuts would hurt after the juju juice wore out. After half dozen surgeries I knew the type of pain to expect. I'll keep you all posted.

Day 2. OUCH. OUCH. OUCH. Anyone who tells you it doesn't hurt is lying. No pain killers though. Save those for going to bed so I could sleep. I see some posters here have these drain plugs to catch excess drainage. I didn't have these. I had the poor mans version which was 4 inch bandage with paper tape. The problem with this is I would change my clothes and 5 minutes later they would get wet. So what to do? Disposable Depends to the rescue. Those went over the 4 inch bandage and the compression garment on top of that. There's a front view of them from the side (gray). They worked great because they caught any excess drainage. The only problem I had with them was peeing, because you have to pull the compression garment up little and that hurt, but WTH.

I knew I could not sleep on my bed with all this drainage, so I slept in an adjustable zero gravity chair covered with a serape just in case. Doctor said I could take a shower today and I did. It felt sssssooooo good washing off all that surgery yuck. And having the compression off for the hour or so it took to wash was awesome. Putting it on was hard.
