Saturday morning 11 days post op!
Wow! I woke up today feeling even better than yesterday! I can't believe a Saturday ago I was so miserable and so sore! But I guess the healing process is worth it because now I'm starting to feel so much better about my body! And looking at the difference from before and after just 11 days post op I can't believe the singnigicant difference between the two images!!! ???????? I love it I will be getting another massage today and I will ask him to concentrate on the abdominal areas and the sides to start breaking down the sides where some swelling and bumpy chunks remain! Granted I am still very very swollen but I wanted to update with the day by day recovery process! ????
10 days post op and 3 massages later!
Hi everyone, first I'd like to thank you for being so supportive and welcoming to this app. It's a nice feeling to know I'm helping/ inspiring others through my story/ experience! After a week of complete of turmoil and emotional ups and downs I can finally say that I am starting to see some results! Yay! I know it's not easy to believe but yes I am starting to loooove my new body! Today I was feeling a lot of excess fluid which felt like a burning cigarette on the side of my body and I called the docto. He asked when I could come in to see him and he was very attentive and drained the excess fluid out! It felt amazing when he drained it! Oh my goodness what a relief I was so happy! Really I am so happy! also my massages have become increasingly more tolerable and more relaxing and yes they are painful but totally worth it when I start seeing the results ! I'm grateful that the Dr. Was able to see me at such short notice today it would have been a very uncomfortable weekend without that draining he did for me!
Day 4 and 5 post op... ????
To be completely honest I'm feeling very discouraged I have seen others on real self that love the way they look right away I feel like my arms still look the same. There's parts of my body that look like scrambled eggs I'm not sure if I'm feeling this post surgery joy everyone feels. I'm just not happy with the way my body looks I almost regret doing the procedure. I know everyone says my body is still swollen and I still need to do the lymphatic massages but there's parts where I feel he missed. ???? I don't know I don't wanna sound like a whiner but I really want to start seeing something be a good result! ????

His office staff was friendly and very welcoming. Dr. Carreaga actually gave me a free personal consultation, he heard what I would like to do and gave me his professional suggestions.
