I'm getting smart lipo on my thighs, and abdomen. I'm very active and work out at least 4-5x a week and try to be as healthy as possible but my legs and more specifically my knees have been a serious issue for me since I was In high school:( I'm so excited for this day to come and really hopeful Dr.Careaga will be able to help. I'm trying to manage my expectations. But I can't help but be excited!!

Post op day 1

So I'm at the end of day 1 post op and I'm feeling so much better tonight. The incisions are painful each time I get up and sit down. But I took a shower today and feel so much better.
The lymphatic massage was this morning at Careagas with Laura. And boy was that painful!! I took two Tylenol but next time I'll take the meds prescribed. I thought I was gonna pass out. I'm going to see about scheduling another one tomorrow with another clinic because my next massage is with Careaga on Monday and I don't want to go 2 days without a massage. My knee is SO swollen. I'm also going to get the ab board and a black garment. The tan ones got very bloody and they are harder to hide.
All in all I feel okay for having major surgery the day before.
Will post pics after my shower tomorrow!!

You need to check with Dr. Careaga's office the ab board and foam may be added in your package. Also, be careful not to pick the wrong massage therapist, some do more harm than good. I'm checking out Sapphire in North Miami. God luck!

Update on the massage: I've been to 3 different people and although, Laura is usually hard to get to I wish I would've stayed with her. I'm back with her now. I wish you the best of luck. I hope your recovery is going well. If you have any questions about my recovery please feel free.

Yeah! That's funny I was going to ask you about sapphire! I'm on massage number 5 with Laura. And now that the swelling has gone down its so much better. My left leg is really swollen and hard in the back. I have an appt today to see the Dr. So we'll see! How is your swelling??

Cool. Laura is on vacation but there is a lady taking over for her. After spending 300.00 in massages everywhere else, I can truly say that Laura was the BEST! She moves her hands purposefully and isn't shy about getting in those no no spots. So therapist won't address that area.
