Went under local not General. Not bad at all- general would be waist of money. Had 400 cc's removed, 9 incisions so small you can hardly see them. Leaked for one day- not too bad. Didn't need more then tylenol as of day 1 and 2( today). Feels like a knarly ab workout- stiff and occasionally stingy. You can sense the prodding and suctioning during the procedure, but can't really feel it- too relaxed from Valium and norco. Occasionally a pinch here an there that I would classify a 3 on pain. Again not bad at all. Napped on and off day one, but also got up an down and did a few things.

are u sore after the heeling process ..how many weeks it takes yr sore to go away. is that painful afterwards?
May 13, 2015
its painful, but its tolerable. it feels like an ab work out WAY overdone. i napped and rested alot fri-sunday.im on day 6, on my 2nd day back to work. i only took pain meds the day and night of the procedure(last thursday).then tylenol for 2 days . then nothing for 2 days. then after post-op they told me to take a couple advil each morning to help swelling-which is minimal anyway.. I iced alot each day when i was home. now i do it after work..the pain gets less and less each day, but its bearable from the get go. i took arnica for 2 days before the procedure, and am still taking it, as well as using the gel on the bruised areas.. im also taking bromelain 3 times a day. eating alot of fresh pinnapple, and putting tumeric on all the food I eat. its all supposed to aid with inflamation. I also take limu and drink a Kombucha a daily-which ive done for a long time....At my post-op they said my brusing was minimal.

Thanks for posting, I can really see a difference already! I saw in the canister my Doc removed 1100 ccs but I'm not sure how much was fat vs fluid.
