I don't know if it was the exercise and wieght lifting I'd been doing for four months or the expertise of my wonderful doctor or both. Night of surgery experienced mostly gas pains. No pains at incision site. I had the drainless procedure done. Day one post op, walked out of the clinic upright. Day two, three very minimal assistance needed. Even rearranged my rehab room to my liking when I got bored. Been on Tramadol q4, but I think it's time to discontinue. The only consistent pain is the dull ache of the liposuction on my upper chest, stomach and love handles. Totally doable, tho. Oh, and I hate this [RS bleep] compression garment. It's more of a nuisance than the surgery. Seriously

Did you say lipo on your upper chest??! I have never heard of that before. Glad you had smooth sailing as far as healing goes. You prob have a high pain tolerance!

I think you're right about the pain tolerance. To me it felt like muscle soreness after working out my traps and core. I was so scared after reading reviews on this site that I would be in bad shape. I wish I had of done this sooner and I wish for everyone who's getting it done the same easy recovery :-)

the compression garment is annoying but trust me it helps. I'm 6wks now and I have to still wear. I bought several. The more I lose weight the smaller my waist get and my tummy is so flat and tight.

I couldn't do it anymore with the body suit. I feel it was cutting off circulation more. Last night, I changed into two pair of boy short type body shapers. It's giving me the same quality of compression but without the zippers gouging into my sides. I think I was in between sizes. I had on an xs and my doc just opted for the smaller size. The funny thing is, after one night of this the bruising on my sides from the lipo is much more faint. I don't think this is a coincidence but who knows. Either way, I finally slept without pain. The body suit had me miserable and was causing a lot of pain and I read somewhere that too tight zippers can cause permanent indentations in the lipoed areas. Thanks for your input. I will definitely stick to the six weeks required!

Five Days....
Sleeping on and off like a baby. Guess this is a part of the recovery process. I'm not complaining. Listening to my body. Getting around pretty well still but I'm thinking I'm having one of the "percentage" days where my body decides it needs ample rest. I feel I'm about 30 percent. Less pain in the side and upper abdomen area where I was lipoed and I found a way to make my Michael Phelps compression suit way more comfortable. I put sanitary napkins where the zippers and closures come in contact with my skin. The suit would bunch up on my side areas dig into my skin causing intolerable pain and made it difficult for me to sleep. I'm sleeping in a recliner I found on Craigslist for $30 bucks. I suggest looking for one on there first. Best and most comfortable decision I ever made. I hope the san. napkin thing helps. Took my first hot shower last night. I've been showering since I has my surgery at my doctors recommendation. It's funny. I've read so many different advice from doctors about not showering for at least a week. Maybe it's because I had the drainless procedure? But it felt so damn good because in Mexico the water was lukewarm at best and I preferred to just sponge bath myself. Can't wait for the end of week two. I have a feeling I'll be fully recovering sooner than later :-)
Congratulations on your wonderful results. I also thought the lipo areas were the most painful. Well that and the gas pains...LOL
Being in great shape prior to surgery definitely helps in the recovery process.
