Exciting! I just had SmartLipo done today on my upper and lower abdomen. I can't wait to take this compression wrap off and see the results :)

Yay!! Congrats I can't wait for my surgery I'm so excited !! How are you feeling ? How was your comfort during the procedure?

Can you share how your recovery has been? Is it tough wearing compression garment in the summer. I am scheduled for Tuesday and nervous about summer weather and garment.

Recovery was fairly easy. Was pretty sore the first 2-3 days. After the first week the pain was only noticeable if I pushed or pressed on my stomach. The compression garment was amazing. When I took it off I felt worse and kind of felt like my stomach was "falling out" of my incisions. I'm almost a month out and it looks and feels great. I have a few hard spots but have been massaging them to help. I only wear my compression garment at night now.

The procedure itself was fairly comfortable. More of just an "odd" sensation but not painful. About 4 hours after the procedure my pain level went up quite a bit. If I sit perfectly flat in my bed I am in almost no pain. But as soon as I get up and walk or bend it becomes much more painful. I have only taken Tylenol so far but plan on taking my Tylenol with Codeine before bed.

Two weeks away!!!

Aliboo23
Hey guys! I can’t believe I’m almost two weeks away from my surgery I’m so excited. My final payment is due on the 8th which is my official two week mark. I had already put down my deposit of $1500 to hold my spot so my last payment is $3,000 plus the garment fee. Every garment is differently priced so it depends on which one is best for your body . The one that I need is gonna be $97. So total payment due by the 8th will be $3097. I will also be getting my medication filled and getting my bloodwork done. I can’t believe how close I am to my flat belly!! I feel like I’ve been waiting for this for so long. I had my pre op on June 23rd and it was great. They are not only very kind but extra clean and cautious with everything going on. They have you wait outside the door for someone to let you in and as soon as you walk in your instructed to drop your items in a provided bucket and they check your temperature then spray down your hands with a sanitizing spray and give you gloves.The staff all had their masks on and I believe if you can’t get a hold of one yourself they will provide one for you. I had one on hand so I was fine. After that I was walked back to a room ( No one was in the waiting area at all) specially for me with my name written down and stuck onto the door . I was then handed some paperwork to fill out as the nurse took my blood pressure . After that I was weighed on a very high tech scale I might add that tells you your weight, water weight, fat percentage and the list goes on lol. After that Dr. Falcone came in to then discuss the surgery day as well as the do’s and dont’s and she asked a couple of health questions as well. She is very nice and straight forward and doesn’t try to tell you want you wanna hear and I liked that about her. Speaking to her was a very comfortable experience which made me feel even more comfortable with getting this procedure done.After our conversation I had to try on some post op garments fresh out of the bag to see what size would be best . Because my hips are wide and my waist itself is small my garment had to be ordered cause the one they had on hand couldn’t stretch around my hips because I have to get one small enough to compress my stomach but hey I’m not complaining about my hips that just means I’m gonna have a good hourglass result lol .I almost forgot to mention I also was given a medical sponge to wash with the day of surgery . I did pack a bag for my surgery because I will be staying with my sister for the first week or so . So when I get a chance I will post photos of the items I thought would help along with a picture of the sponge the doctor provided for me as well. Please guys if you have any questions at all feel free to ask . Thank you guys for following along this journey with me and good luck on your journeys !! :)))
