Well I am 5 days post op and feeling pretty good. Standing and walking is a chore but my pain level is minimum. I am so far very pleased with my results. The scar is bandaged, but the placement looks nice and low. I can't believe how much smaller my waist is. The only thing that is kind of bothering me is that I have some strange blistering around my belly button and a long blister below it in a line. They don't hurt, probably because my belly is numb. When I had my 3 day follow up with the PS he didn't completely undress me. He did see a couple of the blisters and didn't seem worried about it. He said he isn't sure why that happened but it should just reabsorb into my system and heal. I'm hoping it is as minor as it seems. I am very swollen and sore from the lipo on my flanks and thighs. Hard to see the results, but I didn't bruise to bad. I will post pictures later in the week probably.

Well I made it! Recovering at the hotel. My pain is tolerable. It is really hard to change positions though. I wasnt able to pee on my own so I have a catheder in. I'm nervous that when we take it out I still wont be able to go. Haven't really seen my belly yet.

Glad you are on the road to recovery! It gets easier every day. As far as the catheter - once it's removed make sure you are drinking TONS of water. This will help alot. Stay on top of your meds - set an alarm for every 4 hours if you need to. It's easier to stay ahead of the pain than it is to catch up - trust me on this one! Happy healing! :-)
