Today is 13 weeks after my procedure. I have not seen much result like what I expected. I still have bulge on my upper abs, bra rolls and thighs. I hope that this is not the final result since I still have 3 more months to receive a full result.
My mini TT incision healing very well and no more pain after exercise.

Hi ladies! Today is day 6 since my surgery on 11/28/12. All the pain are very tolerable and better than what I expected. The worst part is wearing the garment. The zipper poking my croch like crazy, especially when I am lying down. I am extremely swollen til to the point I am 5 pound heavier than before surgery, eventough according to my PS he removed almost 4 liter of out of me(mixture o blood, fat and fluid). This is very discouraging. Does anyone experience like this that you weigh 5 lbs more lipo? Any encouragment and tips will help and appreciated. I have not take any picture yet since I am still super swollen. I didn't drain that much and they took out my drain today. So far I think my PS is okay but spends very little time with me and always seem in a hurry. For now I will give him three stars but it may change later as I will see him more and I am expecting to see improvement.

Hey, I hope you're healing well. I'm thinking of getting multiple lipo too. Can I ask you how many cc of fats were removed? Thanks

Hi!Yes I am healing well from the liposuction. Just a little slow healing on the mini TT. The liposuction didn't hurt that much for me. Just like sore muscle. According to my PS he removed almost 4 liters which was a mixture of fat, blood and liquid. However I have not seen much result on my body. My PS said I am still very swollen and I tend to believe that since I have not lost any weight since the surgery. I am hoping to see more result soon.

Hey Taxi, I just saw your pictures and as I said in previous comment, if I dont get the result I want, I may consider a mini TT, but what is it?
My sister had a TT at same time I had my lipo and my recovery has been way better and faster... I hope that by now, you have lost the 5lbs you gained... I think its just fluid, extra fluid... I started exercising very aggressively at week 4 and rather that helping me, it was working against me. I would swell and be so uncomfortable and nevertheless the way it made me feel about my self emotionally. Remember it takes six months to see final results. Good luck.

Hi Daisy! Yes I lost the extra 5lb I gained from surgery and know I am back to my original weight before surgey, haven't lost any pound though :(. I had a mini TT for lower ab only. I had a little pouch above my C section scar and my PS removed some skin there and tightened my lower ab muscle. My TT heals a lot slower than the lipo. I am still having a good amount of pain from the TT. How is your sister doing after almost 3 months, does she have good result? I have not post any new pics as I am still swollen and not much diference with before surgery picture. Do you think it is normal that at 6 weeks PO I haven't lost any weight and not seeing much result yet eventhoug my PS told me he removed almost 4 liters?

Fat is volume... so we dont expect to loose lbs after surgery. We loose lbs because we are eating cleaner and exercising, right?
My sister is doing good. For some reason she cant walk straight... idk if its because she feels she is going to pull stitches or what? pain wise she still is, she tires easily but she looks amazing! super tight skin and no fat! i am so jealous... but i love her! and happy for her... it helped her with her self esteem too. I know six weeks for you is a LONG time, but when it comes to this type of surgery, thats just the beginning... Sadly you will look worse before you look better. I dont want to sound mean but it also happened to me and to a lot of others on this site. I am exactly 15 weeks today since I had my surgery September 28th 2012 and I still swell. Have I lost weight? yes! but I lost it because I started eating cleaner that ever before and exercise at least three times a week, cardio and free weights. I do wear CG all day, I only remove when I go to bed. Sometimes I do wear it at night just because I love the way I look and feel when removed in the morning. Do you wear yours still?
Remember to take pics just for your records, it really helps a lot.

Hi Daisy thanks for your encouragement. So I am 2 months behind you, mine was on Nov 28, 2012. Yes I do wear my CG. Sure, I will take more pictures and post them.

I have not done excercise as much as before surgery because of the TT still give me a lot of pain when I do weight lifting or any vigorous exercise. Have your sister done any exercise after the TT?
January 16, 2013
Taxi, my sister is back to gym. She's hard core. We don't work out together often. She does weight training and spinning classes. She says she's ok. No pain. You asked about a good cg, I wear Marena stage two. Google it. It's like $85 but its good compression.
