Don't be scared. I had my lipo done in Schaumburg a week ago and it's really not that bad. I have found out on here that you will probably need a abdominal board which keeps your tummy flat under your garment. No one told me about that so I just ordered one. And the abdominal foam as well. I just found out about both of those Items. And both you can get on amazon. Don't try to over do it after your surgery. If you can just relax for a few days. I am a busy body do I've been up and out and everything. I have very little pain but mostly discomfort. But you will be fine. I'm praying for you!

Ok thank you. I'm adding those to my list

Congratulations on your wedding.

Thank you

How long did he say you would be swollen? I would wait until maybe a few weeks before the wedding for your final alterations. Just in case the swelling subsides before that. I'm only a week post op and I'm swollen like a ballon. But surgery recovery is different for every one. Just make sure you discuss that with him as soon as you can. And get plenty of massages after your surgery to help with the swelling.

You will need sanitary napkins for drainage, Arnicare gel for bruising, of course a good compression garment, Gatorade for Ist day post op, they will call in prescriptions for you must get them filled and bring them. Consider a female urinal. I had to swallow my pride and use one to prevent accidents in the middle of the night because I could not always get up in a timely fashion. I was instructed to take Iron 3 times a day until told to stop. Almost 6 wks post op and still taking them. I hope this was helpful good luck and God Bless.
