31 y.o no kids.. I'm a pretty clean eater.. I worked out with a trainer and saw amazing results I could not lose my tummy.. It would go away slightly but I still felt self conscious in a bathing suit.. Got laser lipo today! I'll post my progress. The procedure was most uncomfy.. I was awake and felt every thing. The pre meds made me loopy but as soon as he started I was in pain! Some spots just pressure others I wanted to scream! The lido (numbing meds just the needle hurt) dr singer is super nice! Kept talking to me and was very comforting! I'll keep you posted on progress.. Right now Im in bed lots of leaking with this garmet eek.. I haven't had to take more than Tylenol.. ((Percocet makes me sick)) hopefully the pain doesn't get worst...

Hmm. I am scheduled for smart lipo under local anesthesia in August. My surgeon told me I should feel NO PAIN at all during the procedure....I am worried! Did he ask you if you were in pain during the procedure at all? I am hoping mine does because I will let him know!

He didn't have to ask I was clawing the table I was on and screaming... Some areas were hell! Some were just uncomfortable.. I'm thinking I want a bbl at some point and I will be getting the full anesthesia! No games! This was not little pain and Im still uncomfortable in areas..

One day post op your results look good so far. You'll be swollen for awhile and your CG will become your new best friend lol. I'm 3 weeks post op today and I've been given the ok to wear my CG 12hrs per day soooo excited!! How are you pain levels? Keep your fluid up helps too flush toxins out of your system. Thanks for sharing your journey so far :-)

Thanks! Pain is minimal.. Alittle at the incision site on the right and when I'm siting or trying to stand.. Im only taking extra strength Tylenol and motrin. I don't really like Percocet.. I itch or I feel like I may get sick.. Thanks for the water advice.. I need to drink more! I'll def keep you posted! Hopefully this all works well!

Give it some time - you are still swollen and takes up to 4 months to see full results. The procedure definitely takes patience!!!

It takes a long time before the swelling goes down and to see results. Patience is the key word here. Just eat right, watch the salt and do plenty of walking (this helps with fluid retention and swelling). Wishing you the best and happy healing!!!
