Sorry for the lack of updates!
WORTH IT
I feel pretty much back to my old self. I have been easing myself back into light exercise finally. The weird, tingly/ numb sensation has gone away in my abdomen. It's still slightly sensitive in areas, but only slightly. Also, the hard lumpiness is almost entirely gone.

Progress
So my abdomen is already 100x better than it was and I'm very happy. The improvements in the love handle area and inner thigh are a little harder to detect. In fact, my love handle area still feels a little 'squishy', but I'm hoping it's just swelling. My stomach swelling has definitely gone down a bunch and I'm starting to feel little hard bumps under the skin in areas. Thanks to RS i know that this is normal and nothing to be alarmed by :) I've been massaging as much as I can tolerate (still a little bit sore).
My incisions are healing well. The sutures haven't completely absorbed yet and I'm keeping them covered to reduce irritation from the compression garment.

Looks great. I am alot older than you and have 2 kids, but I had the same procedure done on Oct 20... Have you noticed any lumps on your flank & inner thighs? If so, what has your PS mentioned? I have been trying to massage daily and may find a place for lymphatic drainage massage. Another RSer recommended it.

I have noticed some lumps in the flank area, not so much the inner thigh (at least not yet). I have a follow-up apt with my PS on Tuesday and will let you know what he says.

You are like me....you look good before lipo, but want to look great!!! How many cc's of fat did the doctor remove?

1500cc's, which he said was a pretty substantial quantity fir someone my size. I don't really have a reference for whether that's a lot or not, I just hope he wasn't too conservative !

I think that's about average for all of the areas he did. I got 1100 cc's removed on my upper arms, bra area, and flanks. I am happy with the results! it's been 3 months for me, so still getting better!!! My doctor is Dr. David Hansen, Beverly Hills,CA.

It's reassuring that you're still seeing improvement at 3 months! I've read that it can take up to a year (!) to see the final results, but that seems really extreme...

Yeah, the last time I saw my PS was 1 month after surgery. He doesn't want to see me again until the 4th month , so that tells me that I will still be seeing improvement after 3 months. For full results, it will take anywhere from 6 months to a year.
