3 days post-op, with little to no pain, swelling,...
WORTH IT$4,600
3 days post-op, with little to no pain, swelling, or brusing. Procedure was painless, actually felt good at time- like a deep tissue massage.
Had my flank and abdomen done. Even with the swelling, I can see results.
This was a piece of cake.
Why did I do it? I'm 6.3.194 lbs, and in fantastic physcial shape. 51 years old, and have had these darn love handles since my late 20's. They weren't going anywhere on their on, so I sent them away. With no regrets. Worth every nickel.
Updated on 13 Jun 2011:Updated on 19 Jun 2011:11 days out now, still pretty much a non-event. A little soreness to touch, but otherwise no pain at all. Very little swelling.
Finished my 3rd and final lymph massage this week, and my complimentary Vasershape session yesterday (felt SOOOOO GOOOOD).
I'll tell you- the surgery and recovery have been a piece of cake. This darn compression garment, however, is a PAIN IN THE @$$! Having to wear this thing 23 hrs/day for 6 weeks is by far the worst part of the whole procedure.
Still happy as a clam- no regrets at all.Updated on 5 Jul 2011:4 weeks post-op tomorrow. Still with some swelling, but definitely with results.Updated on 17 Jul 2011:5 and 1/2 weeks post-op today. Still with some swelling, but recovery is going well and really pleased with the results so far. "Final" results reportedly not apparent until the 6 month mark.Updated on 12 Aug 2011:8 1/2 weeks post-op. Still with some swelling, especially after exercise. Wearing the compression garment for a few hours post-exercise, which helps.Updated on 22 Dec 2011:6 months post-op photo

Wow! I'm impressed. Pretty much similar surgical experience but I've had lots of swelling and bruises. Feeling better after my LDM which felt sooo good but still trouble moving around,stiff. I agree with you on the compression suit it is by far the worse. Mine zips in back so haven't had it off much since surgery 7 days ago. When it is it is heavenly. Having a front zipper one made. Anybody have experience with front closure? Wasnt sure why it was odered that way in the beginning. I've been told lots of water helps with swelling going down. I'm walking but get tired quick. Probably wasn't in as good shape as you but did walk 1-1/2 miles / day.

Be patient, and wear the compression garment 6 weeks. You will not regret it.

Thanks! I thought that as the swelling went down it would feel a little looser but I swear it grabs me tighter. I'm having one made which zips in the front because I can't get out of this back closing one. Do you think it will hurt or cause damage. The place that makes these medical garments said i'd have to wear a "towel" in the front.????Is there such a thing as "too tight?"

I do not wear my compression garment directly against my skin unless I have to. I wear it over a T-shirt. I'm lucky, however, as I am able to work from home 4 days a week. Good luck.
Is that bandaid where the lipo incision was? Thank you for sharing and please keep us posted on your results!
