Dr Hennessy (Downsize! Lipo Center of Houston)

Thanks. I finally got it done yesterday and so far so good

Awww congrats!!!! You won't regret hopefully you're past the leaking phase.

Stopped leaking within 12 hours. I dont know if thats good or bad. But haven’t taken any pain medication since day2. The pain is bearable. A lot of bumps right now but hopefully it goes down a little before my post-op appointment this friday

Thanks for replying to my post. I was crazy nervous

Please let me know how your recovery was. How quick you were to get back to work.

i was able to get back to my daily activities after 48 hours. but full recovery took about a week-10 days. the pain fully subsided after 2 weeks. the lymphatic massages help a lot. just make sure u wear that compression garment as long as u can. it wasn’t as bad as i thought. the pain pills helped.

yes!! thats including the compression garment they provide and all the post op appointments.

So glad to hear that! I can't wait to get my quote. Thank you!

Thanks. Its so good to talk to someone who has gone thru the same thing. Thanks for ur reply. 5 weeks since the surgery and 90% of my bumps are gone cuz of the lymphatic massages i had done every alternate day. Just a few spots i need dr tolook at on my next appointment. Thankfully its just 2 days away. I haven’t had a drastic weight loss since the surgery though. Just 9lbs

You're welcome. I also was tempted to use the scale as a guide but luckily I've read up on some other reviews and doctor's answers on here that advised otherwise and why.
What I do use the scale for though is to make sure my weight does not gain as I also learned from others that once you start looking good you start getting lazy with exercise and eating habits and end up packing the weight back on.
I just decided to post a review on my procedure as well. I also benefited from others that had posted their experiences on here so it was only fair that I pay it forward and share my experience as well.

ok!! so i am 80% satusfied with my procedure but now that all my bruises have subsided, i am seeing lumps all over my tummy. i also have a pack of fat under my ribs that i cant get rid off. i asked about it during my last appointment but doctor said we just have to wait it out and it will dissolve which i am very sure, wont happen. i paid quite a lot and dont want to spend another 3K at another doctor.

Thank you so much for responding...wile 80% is good, it still gives me pause. Makes me consider that there will be irregularities or other issues. I know we can expect perfection with something like this, but would you say it was worth it, would you recommend it? Thank you

i am not sure!! although i look great, i still would like my tummy to be flatall the way. it has a weird bump

Gotcha...I understand. Thanks so much!
