Well I had my surgery on the 3rd of July. I was actually very calm. They gave me the 'cocktail' and an extra Valium. I was sleeping while I waited. The nurse came in and said ok its time to get started. Off to the surgery room. My doctor was there. He marked me up and off to the table. I'm so surprised I was not a nervous wreck. The 'cocktail' does wonders.
Surgery proceeded and it was amazing. I didn't feel anything except for when his did my hips. It tickled. The doctor and I had a conversation the entire time. The last part was my belly button area. That is where it hurt. Dr said tell him when I have had enough. I had enough real quick. They took out the max fat that is allotted per surgery.
I was wrapped up and moved back to my prep room. I was giving something to snack on and drink. I changed clothes and once I got the release I was wheeled out for a valet pickup. I slept all day and most of the night.
Day 2
All I can say is I HURT. My skin is on fire.. it feels like a bad sunburn. If I tried to lay on my side I couldn't. It hurt. I spent the first 2 days in bed. I slept alot.
Day 5 was when I could take off the compression garment and wear it on/off 12 hours.
Day 6 OMG I can't wear the compression garment. I have gained 10 pounds from swelling.
Go in to see the doctor on Day 7. I had lost the weight gain. Dr gave me a larger compression garment. I am now wearing it for the rest of this week w/o taking it off.
Amazing I have little to none bruising.

Today I took the white compression garment off for 8 hours. Oh what a relief. I gave myself a circular massage on my abs which helped with the pain. I hope I am on the end of the major recovery. Can't stand the pain.
I do not see any difference since the surgery. Patience is what I have been told. 3 months.. :(
