I'm going to NuBody concepts for my procedure with Dr. Colon. I fully understand that I won't leave looking like a Barbie Doll, my hope is just to have a resemblance of my shape from two years ago, prior to a traumatic event that led to me taking medications which caused a 50lb wt gain. I just want to loook in the mirror and recognize the person staring back at me.

New beginnings

kennybell
I am also someone who appreciates everyone on here, sharing their stories and giving
great advice. Two years ago I had a bikini body and no worries in the world. On 8/4/15 I was sexually assaulted and was put through hell during that season. I was diagnosed with PTSD. Several medication trials and two years later, I'm 50lbs heaver than I've EVER been, so I decided to take back what little control I had left of myself. I changed my meds, refused to allow myself to sulk in bed all day and then I chose to get liposuction to help me kick start this new season of my life. Yesterday, I went NuBody concepts in Brentwood, and Dr. Colon and I formed a plan of action. I had smart lipo on my bilateral arms, upper/lower stomach and a banana roll. I'll try to keep posting as I progress.

2nd day...I'm in Hell!

My husband works 48 on and 4 days off, so I've had to manage ( very unsuccessfully I might add). My recovery alone. Dr Calon did a great job of trying to suck out as much subcutaneous fat cells that she could. Unfortunately, I'm in immense pain. I cry out each time I move, but save the theatrics for when I have to get up out of bed. On a scale of 1-10, I'm at a 20. Dr. Colon graciously prescribed meds to keep me comfortable, but when you get this kind of procedure done, thats an oxymoron.
I took my first shower today and unfortunately I'm so swollen that I couldn't zip up my compression garmet. So, all that's keeping it together are tree small hooks. I pray they are stronger than they look!

I'm so sorry the recovery has been such a struggle for you! I just got chin lipo and also can't believe the soreness and the swelling...and that is just one small part of my body. So I can't imagine what you're going through! Even the lightest tap with my finger was so painful for the first full week. I hope that every day gets easier for you! I am less sore now that I'm about 12 days post, so I hope that will happen for you, too. And I hope that once it's all over, it will have been sooo worth it for your happiness and your new body! Wishing you all the best!
