Goodbye Back Fat - Hello new waistline! - Scottsdale, AZ

i am 32 years old and just had tumescent liposuction on my back flanks and lower abdomen on August 31, 2012. I had a tummy tuck done in 2007 and the doctor told me having lipo with my tummy tuck wasnt necessary at that time because i had a thin waistline. Well immediately after my TT "disharmonious" fat started accumulating at my waist and lower back.

I decided to schedule lipo as a birthday present to myself. I consulted several PS and scheduled with the doctor who I felt most comfortable with. While prepping me for surgery my doctor recommended that we also lipo my lower abs around my tummy tuck scar to make it look better. ((he did not charge me for adding ab area)) I had general anesthesia. I did not have any pain when I woke from surgery. I rested in bed and took pain meds as directed. I felt great the first day but i did have alot of drainage, the absorbant pads were completely soaked and my compression garment was wet from the waist down by 9pm. I woke up Saturday morning in excruciating pain but the Percocet worked immediately. The pain is tolerable, like sore muscles from working out. I got to remove my compression garment and shower on Sunday. I have minimal bruising and see a noticeable difference in my waistline. I am in more pain but it is still tolerable. i woke up today (Monday) feeling good. I have my post op follow up tomorrow morning. I am excited to see what my doctor has to say. I know it will take time to see the final results from this procedure as my body recovers and the swelling subsides. But I already feel more confident about my appearance.

Had my post op follow up appointment today. I weigh 2lbs less than I did the morning of my procedure. I was given a second compression garment one size smaller than the garment I have been wearing since surgery.
Overall I felt good today, I have more pain on my left flank/hip area than anywhere else. No other concerns.

Yesterday I removed my compression Garment to shower and as soon as I got in the water I immediately felt dizzy, got out wrapped myself in a towel and headed straight to my bed. Did not make it to my bed, I fainted. When I came to I had hit my forehead on possibly the nightstand, I have a small cut on my eyebrow. I didnt call my doctor becuase my post-op instructions specifically noted that light-headedness and fainting are a possibility when removing compression garments. I took a percocet and slept until 5 pm last night. I woke up and walked around, drank alot of water and had dinner. I ended up going back to sleep at 9pm and slept like a rock all night long.
I woke up this morning extremely drained and feeling super tight. Probably from laying in bed for so long.
