11 days post op!
Feeling great! Still a little numb in some spots, but fine overall. Today I took my faja(compression garment) off for a few hours to sport a super cute crop top outfit so I'll post pics of that and what my surgeon recommend I use for lymphatic massages, a pizza dough roller. If you have any questions let me know.
**2 days post op- How everything looks without the faja**
Hi ladies! Yesterday I posted pictures of me with my compression garment on. So here is a post with photos without it. Not very many updates except for the fact that I'm barely draining anymore. I have a few of my smaller incisions near my flanks that leak a little, other than that, everything is fine.
**Slim Lipo UPDATE with PICS: 7-14-2016- 1 day post op**
Let me start out by saying today was my 24 hour post op appointment and it went well. Dr. Obi was surprised how flat my tummy was already. My next appointment will be next week with him. I was given instructions such as: purchasing a wooden pizza dough roller by pamperedchef.com and use that as my lymphatic massages to roll any uneven spots and lumps out. Also, he told me that I am free to purchase a new compression garment besides the one they initially gave me. So I purchased a full body one from HerRoom.com since full body compression garments are more comfortable for me than the tummy training one. It will also probably feel better to wear the full body garment during my time with my trainer at the gym as well.
Cons: The leakage/drainage is horrible! Especially the first night, I had to go to bed padded down with gauze and had to sleep in a towel to prevent making a mess in my bed. I can tell that's it's gradually slowing done though, which is great. Also, early this morning when I first woke up, I was in intense pain. It felt like deep muscular pains in my stomach and I could hardly move. But I eventually got it under control and now I'm more uncomfortable than anything rather than pain. I can feel the swelling and it feels really tight. I can hardly bend over to pick things up, it hurts to stand and sit a bit too, but it's normal and I'm sure it'll pass eventually.
I had my whole stomach done, bra fat, and flanks(muffin top) done, so here are a few pictures of me in my faja(compression garment). Dr. Obi let me know that I probably won't see optimum results until 6 months or more, but since I train at a boxing gym and eat well, I could see good results and reduced swelling between 3-4 months.

Provider Review
He's been really nice thus far. Excited for the procedure date. Will update after procedure.
