so doing so much better had my follow up appt and stitches removed a couple days ago everything looks good per doc.
Still some pain randomly like not even moving and zing a sharp little sting will shoot up my arm. Weirdest thing and of course it's painfully if you move or stretche wrong in huge middle of the night . So still taking it a bit easy
Doc said wear the compression Couple more weeks night and day then just day for Three weeks after that but basically said your body will tell you
In other words if I start swelling etc I suppose
That's all for now back to the gym in one and a half more weeks
I miss my gym time
Follow up again in July will post final pics then
Buh bye for now

How r u doing? I had lipo to my U/L abdomen, flanks and lower back on 6/13/14. They removed 1700 cc total. I just read ur post and I would like to know how do you feel? I am now 10 days PO and I swell up alot. It is very difficult to bend at the waist. My hip area burns and feels numb. My hips were not done.

Man I had a couple of very painful days ! Sleeping was the worse ! Turning in the middle of the night can feel like your skin is ripping away from the under lying tissue. going without the pain pills was not possible for me at night I needed them to sleep I am taking just one every six hours still to sleep at night only.
Today although still sore I did go shopping with my husband just moving a little slower than the norm.
That's all for now I don't wanna post any more pics because of all the swelling
So soon I will post again
Happy healing all.

Doc said I could take 2 every 3 hours of norco because the first day I was taking 1 every 5 ish hours and man that was not working for me. But I feel like they keep me awake? Not sure ? Could be the tea I am drinking anyway. Haven't had one since about 10 pm last night and so far so good. As long as I am not moving so we shall see.
Happy healing to all !
