Im 28 years old, very active but could never achieve a flat stomach that ive dreamed for. Ive been on the fence about lip for awhile now. I probably have read every review out there and all the reviews vary. So either this was going to be the best money Ive ever spent or the worst. I'm almost afraid that since i have big hips that my shape would turn out weird. So i decided finally to take the plunge and get my lower, upper and flanks done.
Surgery Day
My procedure took 3 1/2 hours and it was pretty awful. If i could redo this i would make sure i had general anesthesia instead of local. They numb your stomach with tumescent fluid and then suction the fat out. Well some places didn't become numb and it hurt very bad, i was in tears a few times. The Dr was nice enough to go back and numb the area again before starting over. The worst area for me was around my belly button. No matter how much fluid he put in that area it never really got numb. After, he had me stand, there was blood gushing down my legs. He wanted to make sure i was even and suctioned around where he thought i needed to. I honestly thought i was going to hit the ground since i was given Valium and Norco to take. After the doctor was done, the nurse helped me get cleaned up. She measured my stomach to see what size garment to give me. She ended up giving me a small, Ive never worn anything small in my life and boy was that garment tight.
As soon as i left the doctor’s office i threw up and it hurt my stomach bad. I knew i would end up nauseous so i asked for a prescription for zofran before hand and im glad i did. I ended up sleeping a few hours when i got home, i placed a shower curtain and a towel down on my bed before i slept and when i woke up i was drenched in fluids. The pain was manageable since I was still pretty numb. That night I ended up taking a walk around the neighborhood even though I was pretty high on pain killers, it felt good to get up and walk. My garment and abdominal binder were drenched in blood and fluids so I washed them that night. I had my bff change my dressings and help me but my garment back on. You definitely need help putting it on, so make sure someone is with you for the first 24hrs. I slept for about 4 hours that night, I usually sleep on my side, pretty much impossible.

Day 1 Post op
God, I think I’m regretting this very much. I’m so swollen, I could cry. I know you’re supposed to be swollen for a few days but I didn’t think it would be this bad. I’m bigger now then I was before surgery. I hope it goes away. This morning I went on a 2 mile walk since the MD said it would help me feel better. I find standing and walking feels a lot better than sitting down. Because once you sit down its very hard to get up. The pain is pretty intense so I’ve been taking pain killers around the clock. I’m not leaking as much as I did yesterday. The garment and abdominal binder still feel pretty tight.
