Smart Lipo on Outer/Inner Thighs & Hips - Columbus, OH

Day 11: I am down a pants size! Hardly any pain at all. Bruising is nearly gone -- the only bruised area that remains is my calves (thank you gravity). I got another massage last night. The next one is scheduled for Saturday. I am also continuing to walk 2.4m a day and do arm exercises. I'm waiting until Day 21 to take/post pics. Stay tuned!

Day 9: Least swollen I have been so far. I could definitely see a difference...and I was down 3 lbs since surgery. But then I ate chinese food for dinner..so today I am back to feeling a little swollen. I am going to post pics once I hit the 3 week mark. One major recommendation: Get a compression garmentr that has straps and is mid thigh-chest b/c the garments kill when they dig into waist.

Also, joined Massage Envy and had massage on Fri, Sat and today. It really REALLY helped with swelling.

Day 6: REALLY swollen today and also very bruised. I took arnica for a week before surgery and been taking it after. No difference. Had my one week follow-up today and it was clear that I bruise more than most people. Also, my compression garment was not tight enough. I think that was bad with swelling. I measured myself today and I am the same measurements and same weight.
Tomorrow I start professional massages. I plan to get 3/week to help with swelling. That is the key! So I hear...and pray.

Otherwise, I feel just fine. Been walking 2 miles a day and that has been great. And I have been eating well. Using the procedure as motivating. I know I won't see results for at least a couple of months so i'm just biding my time for now.
