Curves Ahead - Maryland, MD

Procedure went very well. There was pain after anesthesia of course but I got through it. In about 3-4 days I decided to stop taking the narcotic pain medicine and only took Motrin. I was able to walk the next day but it was difficult due to pain. I would say I was up and able to walk comfortably in about 7-10 days. My job is strenuous so I needed about a month off before I could return to it because it requires heavy lifting. I did have drains for leakage and swelling and they stayed in about 10-11 days but this varies depending on how much/little your body drains. Wear your compression garments as Dr Markmann orders because you want the best results; although the garments are somewhat uncomfortable. HAPPY I DID IT!
