Thanks! The swelling is going down. Some days seem to better than others w/ the swelling. But now it seems to be subsiding permanently. I am satisfied w/ my results. I can see a big difference now. So I'm SUPER excited about the results months from now :)

my procedure was one day after yours, and i agree some days more swelling than others.
how long are you advised to wear the Garment till? and yes the new pics tell the big story in your case, a real big difference and showing great results :)

I was advised to wear my garment for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, I can wear a Spanx. I actually can stop wearing my garment Monday & begin wearing my Spanx. Is your garment still itching you?

I had my surgery yesterday in Chicago! I have no leakage! I am amazed. A little pain but hardly.
July 14, 2012
I was just thinking about you & your surgery! I'm happy to hear that everything went well!
July 14, 2012
Yay!!!! That's awesome to hear!!!!! See, it's different for everyone and you were prepared for the worse. Kudos!!!!!! Happy Healing!

I'm doing pretty good. I am just anxious to get into regular cloths. 2 days after operation I am still wearing the garm.How long did it take for you to put regular cloths on?
July 15, 2012
Aimee, I started wearing regular clothing about 3 days after surgery. The more the swelling goes away, the easier it'll be to fit into regular clothes. How long do you have to wear your garment? I can stop wearing my garment tomorrow & begin wearing my Spanx. I will still wear my garment @ night though. I believe it really helps w/ the overall results.
July 16, 2012
Hey Aimee, it sounds like your surgery and the swelling is minimal. However, we have to wear the garment for 23 hours for the first 4 weeks. I have to wear my at least 6 weeks because I had extensive and aggressive amounts removed. I am still very swollen at week 4, but remember I had a massive 5 liters removed. How many liters did your PS remove? Be paitent and try not to do too much to soon. It will help in the long run. Breathe, relax and heal.

Hey sexy lady! You are an inspiration to all. I have been feeling a little bummed...not seeing much for results since the day after the surgery. I am really hoping I get a little better of results. Now I'm looking into cellulaze. I feel a little obsessed haha.
July 15, 2012
Thanks, Valli. I don't know why you are feeling bummed. You looked nice before surgery and after surgery you look amazing. I think I'm obsessed too. Lol. I want my flanks & bra rolls done next. Cheer up.
July 17, 2012
I really appreciate you saying that :) you know how it goes though, gotta complain about something! C'mon 6 months!

I had surgery 4 days ago & feel great! Much of my soreness is gone. I actually only took pain meds about 3 times since my surgery. I went to my "1 week" follow-up appointment today & the doc was extremely impressed w/ my results so far. He told me to continue doing whatever I'm doing because I've made really good progress in such a short time. I began gentle massaging today to help break up the hardness. My garment is so easy to get on & off now. This also let's me know that the swelling is leaving. I am SO glad I decided to have this done! Did I mention, I have my waist back....Yayyy!!!

Thanks, Stomach AquaLipo! I don't have itchiness w/ my garment. It's very comfortable, especially now that the swelling is going down. What type of fabric is your garment? It could be the fabric that's bothering you. Usually it takes 6-12 weeks for swelling to really go down. My PC told me that I would see 70% results in a month & 100% in 3-4 months. Keep in mind that everyone is different. With some people, it could take up to 6 months to see optimal results. You look great as well & your results will progress w/ time. Happy Healing!

my garmet is like a super wide belt, im wearing it over a tank top, i will try to wear it tomorrrow without the tank top to see if thats why its itching me,
i see the doctor on monday

That could be the cause of the itching. Trying to wear the belt w/out the tank top is a good idea. Hope it works.

So that price of $3785... what did that include?? You look great! I have to consider all options, I want Dr. S, or Dr. Perry, but would like to know of other Dr's here in the Midwest that may do a good job as well. Is that $3785 including upper/lower abs, upper/lower back, flanks??
July 10, 2012
Thanks. That price included upper, lower abdominal lipo and fat transfer. I did not have flanks done. It is $995 per area. I am grateful that Dr. Sharma does this life changing surgery for much cheaper than other prices I've seen. If he charged as much as some of the prices I've seen, I probably would not have gone through with the surgery.

Congrats!! You sound so happy! I am having a full body lipo this Friday. Were you nauseated when you woke up? Thats what I am not wanting.
July 11, 2012
I AM happy, Aimee!! I was not nauseous after surgery. However, the next day while showering, I became so sick & nauseous. Thankfully, that was the only nauseating episode I had. My doc prescribed med for nausea. I think that helped alot. The rough thing I'm dealing w/ now is the swelling & hardness. I'll be glad when this part is over. May blessings come your way on Friday. I know you're excited!

Aimee4001, full body liposuction? Whoo! Let me tell you right upfront. Get ready for a lot of pain!!!!! Seriously. I had my upper/lower abs, flanks, inner/outer thighs, and knees lipo'd on June 19th. I never imagined the pain the recovery involved. I'm only sharing this because I read reviews where most of the people have had a few liters removed, but I had 5 liters= 11 lbs removed. This makes a HUGE difference in the recovery! I wish you well. Congrats, but be prepared to be in A LOT of pain.
July 12, 2012
@Tvetter, oh no! Thank you! I would rather hear the truth on how much pain is involved. Well at least I will hopefully prepare for it. Can you describe the pain...I have to know. BUT I will not chicken out. Of Coarse I won't chicken out It's been payed anyways lol
I am one for being prepared and hearing the bad news first. LOL

Just having thighs abs, butt muffin top flanks done. I have concerns that I have been hearing people say that you will gain the weight back. Hope that"s not true then I will feel like I am wasting my money.
July 13, 2012
That is true for some, but that doesn't have to be your story. Breathe, relax and focus on the results you want for yourself. You will accomplish your goals and you will determine the success and longevity of results. You will be great and so will your results!
