30, Fit but Very Fat Abdomen! Lipo on lower & upper abdomen, hips & flanks. 216lb. - Sarasota, FL
UPDATED FROM LifeAfterLipo
4 days post
Amount of fat removed
Dr took 4 liters which is the most he is allowed to take in one lipo session. I was on the table at 2.30pm and in the car going home, in my compression garment by 5.30pm.
I leaked a lot for the first 24 hours.
My first follow up was at 11am the next day, and wow, I was so impressed.
Just hoping for skin to contract as much as possible now. Looking into Venus system to assist with that. Any thoughts or experience with this?

Feeling great. Keeping up on the Percocet. I don't take a whole pill every 4-6 hours, I take half a pill every 4-6 hours. I have stopped leaking (10 incisions altogether) and I just get worn out very quickly. I am drinking a lot of water, and still taking my cipro anti biotic twice a day. I can get up out of bed unassisted now, and try to walk around every 2 hours for a few mins. Any standing for more than 30 mins and I'm light headed.

I am glad you're doing good. I am starting to read more reviews on abs and flanks waist back etcto get an idea what to expect in November when i do abs and waist, I hear it is painful. Is it very painful during the procedure? What is your pain level without meds?

I took a Valium the night before just so I would sleep, and not worry about the procedure. Then I took a Valium about 3 hours prior to procedure and it had worn off by the time I actually went into the op room. I was under heavy sedation, to the same level as a general anesthesia. My pain level has been up and down. I just recommend that you keep on the pain pill schedule then it's not even an issue. Day 3 I did not take any pain meds after 1pm, then at 4am woke up in agony, I was so mad at myself for forgetting to take the pills on the schedule. Also keep your fiber up, or take Metamucil as the percocets will block you up!

I better get a nice cocktail of pills before my procedure.
I eat fiber everyday i have to or i do get constipated. I wish you a speedy recovery.
Take it easy on the percocet. ;)

What amazing results. U can see the swelling that took place after the first day but when that subsides u are going to looking terrific.

The swelling did subside, but I think it's back a little. I have my one week check up tomorrow, so I will get the Doc's opinion.
