Day 15 Post- Op (Friday) (Deep inward sigh)...
(Deep inward sigh) Walking has gotten much better, as my thighs are only at a level 2 for soreness. But now we've encountered a new problem...swelling legs & feet. They look like a pack of Blue Ribbon sausages. I contacted my doctor late one evening and while he stated that it was normal for your lower extremities to swell, mine start to swell almost as soon as my feet touch the ground. My tummy is also still very swollen, but all bruising has subsided. FYI: Arnicare Arnica Gel works WONDERS on bruises! I applied for about 4 days straight and all of my deep, dark, purple bruises were gone. The Arnica Tablets don't seem to do anything for swelling, so I'm accepting any suggestions that you ladies may have, as I look & feel very uncomfortable.
Tomorrow is my 2nd post-op visit with my doctor, so I will update thereafter.
Day 11 Post- Op (Monday) Oh how the tables have...
Oh how the tables have turned...
I had the worst constipation I've ever experienced IN LIFE. These drugs WILL make you constipated. Since my last update I've swollen up pretty badly. My abdomen looks like I've have absolutely nothing sucked out of it, and my thighs are so swollen & sore that it's very difficult to walk. Laying on my back is no longer the cakewalk that it was last week, as my flanks are very tender. My inner thighs feel massive, and are sore to even the slightest touch. Slacks are now my enemies since the inseam is so uncomfortable. I'd planned on at least hitting a treadmill by now, but the swelling & soreness hasn't subsided enough.
Day Four Post Op Consult (Monday): Come to find...
Come to find out out my PS didn't take any fat out of my ass! lol. But he did position his instruments differently so that he could suck out more fat than anticipated. Post- op was quick & decent. I was told that the horrific Ike Turner beating that my legs took would begin to reside in about 3 weeks. They also told me that I was swollen, and could expect to lose about another inch or two off my tummy, as well as another inch off of my thighs. SWEET! If for any reason I'm not satisfied then the doctor will perform re-touches in the office with local anesth. at no add'l cost. So it's a win-win if you ask me. Total fat removed was 4300 cc's or as earlier stated, 4 liters of Coca- Cola.
Provider Review
Dr. David Liland has been performing cosmetic surgeries for 29 years, so his bedside manner is a bit abrupt & to the point. After only four days there is clearly a huge difference in my appearance as well as my esteem. Friends who've I've forwarded before & after pics to are shocked to say the least at how different my body looks. For me, it wasn't so much about my actual weight, but more about my appearance & how I looked when I walked out of the door. I would rate this procedure at a 3-4 for soreness, and would definitely recommend this surgeon in the future. Now that I've been vacuumed, it's truly up to me to maintain & enhance my appearace.
