Bring On the Bikini - Huntersville, NC

Day 5 out.... swelling is going down some.. I did go out and get the KT tape and will put that on tomorrow. I have to say this foams bites. I have to keep it on for a week due to the lipo and find that it is bothering me more than anything else. My feet still swell if I am on them to long. I dont know if I wrote about my post op... but they indicated all looks good I go back again on the 21st. I have started to see some of that "shadowing" I have read about from some of the others on here. Have not noticed an vein issues but keeping a look out. Really have to say great site. I don't know what I would have done without it.

ps. tried to take pictures but didn't turn out well. Maybe I can get some from the doctor on the visit onthe 21st.

Day 3... I took my first shower. I am not bruised or swollen as much as I had expected. In fact my legs have very very little bruising but my girl part up front is a lovely shade of purple. I still have not had to take any pain meds at all. So excited about how this is going. I am venturing out to Target for toilet paper since I am peeing like crazy. Yes I did pack my funnel just in case :) I am also going to pick up some arnica lotion to see if that will help with the bruising I do see. I have been using the arnica tablets and started a week before the procedure based on some advice seems to have paid off.
I have as of late last night starting itching some but so far so good. Cant wait to see it progress and get better and better.

Surgery went well. I chose the local so I was awake for the entire procedure. This was actually pretty cool. I talked with both my doctor and the fellow who was there along with the nurses. Dr. K also keep me informed of what they were doing - he is s great doctor and would refer anyone to him. We also talked about running, shopping, food and my cherry pitter. It took about 3 hours as I got the lipo on my banana roles and the cellulaze done. The only issue I had was about an hour after the sugrery everytime I stood up or sat up I threw up. This includes the ride home in my aunts car, she will be getting a few paid dinners for that. We called the office and they called in a script for promethazine which did the trick. Slept good through the night no problem expect I was up peeing every couple hours. Which yes Megan and cacm is a hoot!!! You are right you will know what it feels like to be a guy. It was the first thing I said to my aunt and bestfriend after I peed the first time. I also have to admit after about the third time I found myself doing that little shaky thing they do at the end and was laughing out loud in the bathroom thinking really did I just shake my funnel like a guy. However it works like a charm one of the best tips I got.
As for today I am sore like I did a great workout but have not needed to take any pain meds. I had some linking from only my front left incision but other than that no problems. Although I am thinking I am not sure about a shower may put off until tomorrow since I am not going anywhere today anyway. I also did peek and there is some bruising but only slight right now. Will keep you updated. Thanks again for all the support and tips.
