I'm a 44 year old mother of two, I'm active, in shape (with some pounds to lose), beyond frustrated with my body and needed help. I met Dr Elmer and knew he would take great care of me and that he understood this life long challenge of mine! I found him knowledgeable, caring and ready to help change my life!

Day 5 of Recovery
AMFSFMarch 3, 2014
So, I'm still sore for sure... I started small walking trips with the kids and drove my car for the first time. Wearing the compression garment 24/7 as advised with the exception of showering. The garment is the worst part at times, very tight and a little uncomfortable at times. I am healing quickly I think as I take photos almost daily of the bruising and oozing. Still draining from my two drains, and changing my dressings twice daily (more for my my mind I suspect).
The arnica is a dream, taking the oral 5 tablets under the tongue three times a day and rubbing on the gel and that seems to ease the discomfort of the itching. The itching is truly crazy but makes me feel like it's healing clearly!
It looks disgusting right now with the bruising leading down to the top of knees in the back. I had lower buttocks and legs done so I expected this.
I have my follow up on Wednesday and look forward to hearing from my doc that it looks good. I did text him some photos over the weekend and he seemed very happy with the progress, love that he texted back!
I'm only doing light exercise as I had a lot of work done on my legs, and there's a hard numb feeling on my legs and I do get a little light headed still when walking.
I'll keep you up to date as the days, weeks and months go on.

Thanks for posting and good luck with your recovery. I shall be following as I'mm keen on this procedure, but heard both good and bad, so keeping an open mind about it. I do hope you are successful. How long did the procedure take?

I went in at 10:30 and left at 4:00. Between more pre-op photos, and more forms to talk about it was really 3-3 1/2 hours with an hour of meds to start the action!
It was quick and virtually painless during the procedure.
The post-op was good, hub came with me and took me to and from the clinic.. (a must) your legs are definitely numb and you're on a little bit of a high from the drugs to keep the pain down.
I hope for so much from this! I really am excited!! talk soon!

Welcome, thank you so much for posting your experience with Celluaze. I have read that many find the compression garment uncomfortable, so you are not alone...but soon it will be off. You are very positive, that will carry you a long way :) How do you find sitting?

One week doctor visit
AMFSFMarch 5, 2014
I went to the doc today, and he's very pleased with the progress after one week.
I thought he wouldn't be able to say anything good as it looks so gross still, so his comments were uplifting and reassuring for sure!
I'm a huge fan of the arnaca, it's a magic remedy and the bruising changes daily due to using it, massaging it in and being faithful to the compression garment..
I'm excited as I have to work in the islands the end of the month so I'm following all the doctor's orders and being mindful of not over doing it to let the healing take place! I worked out daily, so I think I'm feeling a little grody right now, but the surgery was pretty traumatic to the area so I will take my shorts walks and not over do it!
