Laser liposuction - recovery is hell

My tummy got so big overnight I look like pregnant . It is extremely painful . I cannot walk easily and I cannot stand up easily .
I suspect it's this :
***** Amplified Liposuction Edema Syndrome ****
Every liposuction patient has some degree of postoperative edema as the result of leakage of intravascular plasma proteins from traumatized capillaries, along with some liposuction-induced impairment of subcutaneouse lymphatic function. This can be minimized by using postoperative care that includes open drainage and bimodal compression.
Excessive liposuction may be associated with massive postoperative edema, referred to as amplified liposuction edema (ALE). A combination of factors predisposes to this dangerous type of edema. In its mild form, ALE is generally localized to the areas treated by liposuction. In progressive degrees this massive edema can spread to areas distant from the site of tissue trauma, resulting in massive weight gain and systemic complications such as acute renal failure and effusions (pleural, peritoneal, pericardial). In extreme cases, patients can have fatal pulmonary edema and end-stage central nervous system edema.
Therefore ALE is a type of multifactorial edema that can increase progressively. This generalized edema is most likely to occur after extensive or excessive liposuction that overwhelms compensatory homeostatic mechanisms.

I did not want to do a laser liposuction. I was looking for a non invasive easy procedure to loose some fat . I did not care if I found none or if I did not loose fat . I was happy with my body as it was but I would not say no to a slim body if the only cost was money .
The cost I was not willing to pay was pain, ( emotional , physical ) discomfort , stress , down time ( have a very demanding job as an engineer ) and subsequent damage to my career .
I chose a very experienced and very expensive surgeon who is also a university professor and a well known academic . He is a known expert in research and clinical side .
I trusted my surgeon when he told me , there is only a few days of discomfort , no complications and no down time except a few days rest . But nearly 4 weeks after my surgery , I'm still very sick and cannot work .
Here is what I have experienced so far :
1- just when I was in surgery room I realized it is a 3-4 hour procedure and not a 30-45 min one.
2- just in surgery room I realized it's a major surgery .
3- He told me he removed 3 litter of fat but removed 6 lit
4- I lost I much blood that my hemoglobin went from 14 to 8
5- the pain was beyond imagination
6- I could not move my body even 1 cm for a few days after surgery .
7- I could not lift my body off the bed without help for over 10 days after surgery and for the first week I needed two ppl to help me to lift my head and pull my hands to get off bed , so I can eat . I gradually started to be able to move . After week 2 , I could lift my body and get off the bed sometimes with pain but alone - but not always . Sometimes I just could not. Mid week 3 , I could get up myself .
8- 4 days after surgery , I had a skin reaction to bandage plus a skin reaction to laser and trauma itself . They had to stop compression garment and give me lots of creams and oral medicine , in addition to extra antibiotics ...
9- I could not turn over to sides for the first 3 week.
I still cannot sleep on sides for too long and of course sleeping on tummy is out of question . I have to sleep on my back ( what I hated all of my life).
10- unusual sleep position and pressure from compression garment has given me worse back pains of my life. Heaven knows how many nights I have cried till morning due to pain .
11- I am petite and have a short torso . So none of nearly 10 expensive garment ( different sizes )that I have bought us comfortable. They dig into my sides and dent my flank . Garment of poor fit have caused too many hard bumpy painful areas as well and a double stomach . I have to go two size up to avoid this problem with short torso. Short torso makes the curves and narrower areas of garment to be placed on wrong body location (believe me I'm an engineer so I know how geometry works ) . Even the garment companies told me so .
12 - tight garments make it hard for me to breath and give anxiety attacks. Loose ones won't work .
13- my skin itches as hell . It's dry and peeling .
14- constipation and bloating is killing me ( garments press the digestive system)
15- I cannot walk straight and my back is bent .
16 - I still have nausea but it was worse the first few days .
17- all of those pain medications, antibiotics , skin alergy medications , digestive medications and steroids for alergy have messed up my system and I feel so unwell and sick
18- I feel weak due to blood loss , pain , lack of sleep , lack of appetite. I cannot work or stand on my feet . I have ran out of my vacation and sick days so have to work and suffer .
19- the capillaries that are responsible to absorb fluid are ruined so too much swelling that won't go away ( given the fact that I have no good fit compression garment either )
20 - nerves are ruined . I'm so numb that I cannot feel it when I touch my skin
21 - my skin is as hard as leather or wood and it hurts when it bends . It also hurts as hell if I'm bloated or constipated .
I'm not suggesting anyone to do or not to do liposuction ( laser or laser ) . Personal choice and personal preferences, attitudes , life goals and circumstances.
But if you are a professional woman who has to work and pay her bills alone , please make sure u won't make decisions to hurt ur valuable career and jeopardize your livelihood . Take everything into account and think about complications , risk etc.
Statistics is not a joke . Even 1% danger when it's about your life and career , means a lot. Do it with full knowledge and do it to please yourself and not others . I should have walked out of surgery room in my gown and never looked back ????
