I saw Dr. yesterday. Im still swollen and bruised and tender is some areas,nothing too bad. Not real excited with my results so far, not much difference at ALL !! Getting discouraged. But Dr. did say still swollen so we will see I've been crazy busy with graduations but I will post pics !! Glad to hear everyone is doing well !! Oh forgot to mention scar tissue is forming around my hip bones I massage every morning and night and I've all been doing Endomology !!

1 day out. Woke up pretty sore today ! Sleeping last night was a little rough because it took a minute to get comfy on my side ! When I stand it takes a few minutes to get going like if I'd had a TT. Still leaking but not as much ! Heading to post op this am then going to take a shower I'm really looking forward to it because of the leakage all over me : /

1 week an 1 day today ! Everything is going great ! Bruising is starting to go away but swelling is setting in a bit more. Not too bad though ! Feel over all great ! Yesterday I was in a store and I came out and it was raining I didn't have my garment on my instinct was to run made 3 strides am felt that I had been sprayed by a million bullets !! When your areas bounce it hurts like Hell !! I don't recommend it ! Today I'm going back to working out weights only no jumping or running of course . I wear my garment all the time to get best results possible ! Hard to decide if my results are majorly different or if its just swelling ?! I only leaked the first 24 hrs just an FYI. Bending at the waist will sometimes send chills down my spine. If any one has questions please ask I'm an open book !! I will lost some updated pics !

After hearing that from 3 different Dr.'s I decided not too- I like my butt and don't want to ruin it. I wouldn't go on luck either. My Dr. Did mention that he would cellulaze mine to smooth it out maybe u should look into that post some pics maybe that would help !! If ur like me, I smart lipo'd the outter and it made the banan fold a lot less noticeable !! Ill post pics to help !!

Had my procedure this am. I was there from 9:45-2:00. Had inner and outer thighs, flanks and whole abdominal . I went into the Dr. Office they brought me back, checked vitals, gave me 1 Valium . I waited for what seemed to be 1-1/2 hrs.Once they came and got me everything went pretty quick. They gave me small shots to where the incisions were to be made. They then put in the numbing fluid- that part is pretty uncomfortable especially in some areas that are more sensitive than others. After he numbed my he did the laser everywhere then came back and did the lipo everywhere ! So it's like a 3 step process !! When I was done I felt like normal just swollen. 1.8 liters were removed and I can already see that I'm smaller but u can see I'm still full of fluids !! I'm resting now and starting to have some achey pain in my areas. So I took one pain pill. I'm trying to keep dry by changing my maxi pads I have put on my incisions of the outside of my garment that I'm holding in place by yoga pants ;) I will post more pics tomorrow when Im allowed to remove my garment !! But so far the surgery was not that bad !!
