35yo Single Mom of a 10yo.

I'm recovering well. I still have some soreness, but I returned to work last week and it was fine. My lymphatic drainage massages are helping a lot. I have seen a dramatic change in the swelling since I started getting. The massage therapist told me not to use the abdominal boards and to take vitamin C. I still have some really hard areas, but they are supposed to resolve themselves with continued massages. It's a lot of effort to achieve the desired results. I have to make a follow-up appt with Dr. Andan in two weeks. I wear a size small in the compression garments but I might need an extra small soon. I am starting to exercise today. I got a simply fit board. It looks like fun. I will update this again when I have time.

I wish that I could go back and not have this surgery. I had thought that all smartlipo lasers were the same. I was completely wrong. Some say that recovery is very short, but mine is still very painful. I wish that I never had this surgery. I don't think it was worth it.

I had a lymphatic drainage massage today, 13 days after my Smartlipo 360 surgery. It was uncomfortable and painful, but I think that it is going to help. I have some lumpy areas and I was worried that they could be permanent. But the therapist said that frequent massages for lymphatic drainage will help get rid of the excess fluids that are causing the lumps. I bought a package of 10 massages, which I am hoping will help.
