Day 7: No results yet, but I am happy to be back to my original measurements! Before the surgery my measurements were: waist: 30.25, abs: 35.5, right thigh: 24.25, left thigh: 23.75.
I am trying to stay away from the measuring tape but it calls my name EVERY MORNING!!!! I'm just glad the swelling is mostly gone.
I had a follow-up yesterday and the doctor said I should start doing massages 3x / day for 10-15 minutes using a rolling pin. I'm scheduled for my first VelaShape treatment on June 9th. I was told not to expect to be pampered and that the treatment would be quite uncomfortable. No pain, no gain, I guess.

I had my procedure done at the end of May with Dr Obi. I have not seen any improvements and now have a infection where the incisions were made. Did you experience any of this?

Oh that sucks. I have not had any issues with the recovery process, I'm just waiting to see results. Have you asked him about his policy on doing a touch up or refund? I go back in 3 weeks and will ask then if nothing has changed. Do you have before and after pictures?

Thank you for your response. It is nice to hear from others that are having similar concerns. I made an error when I typed my comment above. I had my procedure done during the first week of May and not at the end of May. Sorry! I have told him that I am not seeing any progress and I asked him if he would be able to redo the procedure. He just continues to tell me to wait 4 months and I will see the results. He also keeps saying that I need to have the Velspa treatment. He avoids the conversation of a refund or a touch up all together. I have to see him again today because of the infections and I am going to try to talk with him again. I will give you an update. Please keep me updated with your progress and let me know what happens after your visit.

I went to Dr Obi slimlipo on my abdomen and adavive fat transfer to my breast (he also did my breast augmentation) I just had my slimlipo done Feb 10th... I see results on my sides and lower abdomen but I havent seen the skin tightening part but he said 3-4 months for a majority of the skin tightening up to 6 months for the entire process. I have my 1st appointment for the velashape March 13 but said it was more the scar tissue forming which may cause the uneveness. I havent had any problems with Dr. Obi that is why I trusted him to do my slimlipo. This was my 3rd breast augmentation and I had smartlipo done before and saw zero results. Hope you had great results!

Hi there, I was just curious how you are doing. I'm on day 10 of recovery and I still do not see much results. I also have really hard painful lumps in my abdomen. Did you experience this?

Hi there, I had also my SlimLipo done by Dr. Obi I'm now 11 day of recovery. Sofar I have had very little to no pain. I also see big results. Yes there are some unevenness but you can definitely see a big difference. I started using the roller this weekend and immediately started to see some of those unevenness disappearing.
I am very happy with Dr. Obi and his staff. They are very friendly and professional. From my side I can only recommend him. Good luck to everyone. Hope everything goes well. Please keep me inform of how it is going.

Day 3: 95% of the pain is gone. I'm a little tender to the touch but I'm back to all of my normal activities such as cleaning and playing with the kids. The compression garment isn't a big deal except for the fact that it is HOT, like 95 degrees today. My garment goes from just under the bust down to mid-calf so I have to wear long sun dresses. I currently do not see any results and my stomach feels like a water balloon. It's round and puffy. My thighs don't feel swollen but I'm assuming they are because they don't look much smaller. He removed a total of 600ccs of fat which is not a lot but I knew I didn't have much fat. I was in pretty good shape to start with and am hoping to get most of my results from the laser tightening which I know will take a while. My biggest challenge now is to get back to eating right and exercising so that I don't end up gaining weight. I had a follow up appointment the day after my surgery and I got back on Tuesday, which will be day 7. I think I'll be getting a phase 2 garment at the point. Hopefully in the next week or so I can change my "Was it worth it?" rating from "Undecided" to "Worth it".

Funny thing is that I also went to a Dr. who told me I had to get a TT, but I felt that precess is way too invasive. And I kept researching. In all actuality all I want is too feel good and look good in a tank top. lol...

I'm about 6.5 hours post op and I'm glad the wait...

I'm about 6.5 hours post op and I'm glad the wait is over and I can begin the healing process. The surgery lasted from around 10am - 1pm and everything went really well. I was awake but in a deep restful state. I could hear most of what went on and was able to respond when they told me to turn and roll over. We stopped for Philly Cheese steaks on the way home (yumm) and I sat in bed and ate mine but was really drowsy. After I ate I immediately went to sleep and just woke up a little after 7pm. I did a couple loads of laundry, and swept the kitchen floor so obviously I feel fine. My knees are the most noticeably sore but nothing too terrible yet. I went ahead and took a Percocet just to offset any impending pain. I can't really judge the outcome of course but right now I am a big puffy, bloody mess. I have a follow up appointment at 4pm tomorrow. I was told not to bother showering or taking off my garment until after my appointment tomorrow. Sigh. Let the healing begin.
I had my thighs and tummy done by Dr. Obi around the end of May. I have yet to see any results. I also now have an infection where the incisions were made.
