WORTH IT$7,350
So hello all, today makes 9 days since my surgery date. I am still sore and have numbness all over my stomach and back. My breasts have dropped some and I am beginning to like what i see. I have to work on my lower half now to tone up.

I stopped taking the perocets as they were making me feel loopy and miserable. I am taking 1200 mgs of Advil instead which has helped to alleviate the pain. I am retaining water around my middle and on my back.

Here r my new pics!

Im glad your doctor did not. Just do a tt for your money. All that your feeling is normal, your gonna look even better when the swelling and bruising goes away.

Thanks for that. I have been so scared. I stopped wearing the binder though. I was soooo uncomfortable.

You can get a light compression garment from Target to help with swelling instead of the binder. I like Instant Confidence. It's like $23.99.

Well done on making it to the other side. If you're in pain please make sure you keep on top of your painkillers even if you feel you don't need them and drink lots of water. Happy healing honey Xx

That compression garment is hell, I had to take it off. I applaud the other women on here that wear it 24/7.. Good luck with your recovery, after 2 weeks you will feel so muck better, but the healing from lipo is a long process

Had my surgery last week and feeling really sore......

Hi guys, I have been MIA for a few days. I had my surgery this past Tuesday and spent the night in the hospital. I was discharged the next afternoon. My recovery has been very bumpy as I am uncomfortable with the compression garments and am pretty bruised up. I did not get a tummy tuck done as my doctor told me that I lost too much weight. As a result f the weight loss, he did not feel that there would be enough skin left over to pull down after surgery. He instead opted to do complete liposuction of my upper and lower abs, flanks and upper and lower back. I am now in so much discomfort from all of the lipo. My breasts look fine. The left breast pocket had to be lowered about an inch to line up with thr right breast. We still went ahead with the 350 cc silicone implant. One of them has dropped some. The other still remains high.

Questions: Is it common to swell considerably after surgery? I feel bigger now than before the surgery.

How long must I fight with these compression garments from hell?

I will post pics this week from the different stages of healing. I am at a relatives home recuperating.

Happy healing everyone!
