Hoping Lipo and Breast Implant removal Will Help 59 yr old

Hi Sister!-- I am "just behind you" in several ways! I am 50- and I will have my sx on Oct 28--so I will follow your journey!!! It's all very exciting huh?

Yay, a little group of us to go through this together! We can encourage each other. I am excited and et a bit apprehensive about this. I have had so many surgeries, biggest one was a multi level fusion to my lower spine almost a year and a half ago. That one really knocked me down and I am still climbing back. Have been attending an arthritis water exercise class which is helping with core strength, can actually start to feel some tight muscle under my stomach cushion! I am hoping the smaller stomach area after the procedure will help make exercising a little easier.

Just had mine done in San Diego this past weekend... Good luck.... Remember its just the beginning of a lifestyle change.

Had my procedure earlier today and things went well. I can already see a differnce in the upper stomach and waist area. Doctor said it would be 3 months to see results and I am anxious for the time to go by. The pain is like strong muscle injuries but is manageable with pain meds. There is some swelling and bruising, mostly at the hip and mid buttock area. I am taking bromeiine with quercetin which is supposed to help in reducing swelling and promote healing. I started it three days before procedure and actually noticed alot of my arthritis inflammation felt better! This is the first thing I have taken that has done this, so it was a pleasant added benefit! Sleeping is sporadic with a few naps here and there, have been able to lie on my back with little pain, also on my side. I return for dressing changes tomorrow morning. I will try to get some photos to post. Let the healing begin!!

Lipo 6 days ago and feeling much better. Swelling is starting to subside and the muscle soreness is getting much better. Anxious to get back to my water exercise class. Bruising is getting better. Wishing everyone else fast healing.
