Hey guys! I know it's been a few weeks but I thought I would check in. Everything is going well. Still a little swollen and sore but overall my healing process is going well. I finally have taken a few pics for you guys :) I still have my bra roll as you can see in the picture I'm praying they will go away. It's been kind of bothering me. Lol

You're still swollen, so it's gonna be a while till that bra roll goes away completely, though it's already so much smaller than pre-op.  Your result is already beautiful :D.  Keep the faith--the swelling will eventually disappear!  I hope you're sleeping better than you were a week ago :D.

Hey all!! Just thought I would check in. I am feeling OKAY. Overall, the few small bruises I had, have gone a lot. I can't say the same thing regarding the swelling. I am still very swollen. However, that is to be expected. I am still massaging the areas, and using arnica. The only bad thing about the flank and bra roll area is the sleeping situation! I HATE IT. I sleep on both my sides, and it's very uncomfortable, and really hurts! I'm praying it gets better as the swelling goes down. Also I don't have any comment on the pineapple juice and Bromelain pills. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with my healing process. However, I'm still doing both. I will post pictures sometime this weekend. I must say although I'm swollen the results are starting to show more! :)

I had my lipo and scar revision yesterday, and I am feeling you!  Lying on my back is minimally uncomfortable, but I sleep on my sides, and all night long, I'm waking up when I turn onto my side!  And you've been doing this for a week???  How do you get any sleep at all?  I don't think I'll be in pain anymore after a couple of days (wishful thinking? LOL) but…yeah.  I totally feel for you!  A speedy recovery to you--I hope you can get some restful sleep soon!

Hi, I wanted to share what I do with sleeping that seems to be a wee bit more comforting for me. Put one pillow under my knees and another one just under my arms. Turning to the side so that my side where the incisions are are between the pillow and my arms are in between the top pillow seems to help balance and take the press off the incisions. I was thinking this probably isn't a good description so I can get my boyfriend to take a piccie if that would help? Happy healing, the worst is over - stay happy.

So I got this organic pineapple juice from Sprouts yesterday and guys it's amazing!! Not only does it taste great, my swelling has gone down. And I honestly think it's helping. It's either that or the Bromelian pills. Lol. However for the people who want to try to pineapple juice thing post op, this is definetly a winner and not too expensive! :)
