Attack of the sore little lumps
byodie33March 15, 2015
WORTH IT$5,800
Yesterday and today I've been having sore spots popping up. I haven't been using the massager the past week and I think that's the reason why I'm having these little lumps. Hoping they go away because the spots on my thighs are pretty uncomfortable and tight. Aside from the lumps everything is going great. I'm seeing improvements everyday. I can't say enough how glad I am to have done the procedure. Still bruised in some areas, but that's a small price to pay for not having my inner tube anymore. I can say I'm getting tired of wearing the compression garment. Can't wait until I don't have to wear it.

The chin looks amazing. I want to do that too. How much fat total did they remove?

No 3.8 was from my whole body. I wasn't told what came from my chin. Thanks for the compliment:) I'm very happy. I have some numbness and a little sore lump but other than that its going good. I wear my head gear at night it get pretty hard to commit to having it on during the day.

Procedure and Recovery
byodie33March 4, 2015
I read a lot of posts and feel that maybe I could help someone who is considering liposuction by detailing my experience so far......
Dr. Robey put me under for the procedure which I was happy about. The hardest part was waking up totally out of it and nauseated. I saw results immediately especially in my chin and waist. I look younger which is always a plus!!! I had some pain, but nothing totally incapacitating. I was able to care for my two children 4 & 1.5 the next day. To describe the pain...something a little worse a really hard workout pain on day 2. I have some lumps which is to be expected. I bought a hand massager at CVS and use it work out the tight spots from time to time. I don't think lymphatic massages are necessary as I've seen posted by others a hand massager does great. I think pain in subjective and different for everyone, but for as much as I had done -I feel great. I had almost 4 liters of fat removed...so quite a lot! I also think that the fact that Dr. Robey is a licensed cosmetic surgeon has a lot to do with her skill. She's not a dermatologist or general practitioner...she actually went to school and trained to do this. Final results will take 6-9 months so I'm excited to see what my outcome is. For now I am trying to eat healthier and be conscious of my day to day decisions so as not to find myself in such a sad state again!!

Thanks, I have this set for the 30th of March and a cruise in May. I am scared to death that I wont be cruise ready but I like you am tired of the way I look and feel because of it. I was glad to hear you say you could really see some results and the pain isn't terrible. Teresa
