Smart Lipo on Saddlebags. Piece O' Cake!

Day #2 - march 27

i went to the doc today for my 1 day check-up.  the  nurse took off my bandages, and i hardly had any oozing.  my bruising isn't bad either.  i did feel a lil' woozie when the garment came off.  once i layed down and the garment was back on, i felt better.  i have some swelling, but i can already see the change in my figure.  my butt and hips actually appear smaller.  YAY!!!  i still can't get over how easy the procedure was!  i was up and around all day today.  my outer thighs are tender when i first sit down or stand up.  the pain isn't even enough to complain about.  i haven't taken any pain meds since yesterday.  i am looking forward to tomorrow...can't wait to take shower!

day #3-

i took my first shower today...i wanted to wash the ink marks off of my legs, but they are still too tender.  we had a family get-together this evening, and i didn't have any problems cleaning the house.  i wore a pair of skinny jeans over my garment today, and  my sister said that she could see a big difference in my shape.  my mom thinks my legs look skinny!!!  she said it looks like i lost 10 pounds!!  the cool thing is, I'M STILL SWOLLEN!!!  can't wait to see the FINAL results!

day #4-

still tender, bruised, and swollen...nothing too major.  still haven't  taken any pain meds.  i am taking my antibiotics and the arnica for bruising and swelling.  i don't have too much to add today.  i don't seem to be oozing much at all.  i'm using lil' bandaids to cover the tiny holes.       

Day 5 -

bruising and swelling is worse today...but i know things look worse before they look better.  i had to take of my garment off for about an hr. cause i just HAD to wash it.  i put on a pair of spanx instead.  i feel great, but my legs are still tender.  i am so anxious to see what my legs look like once the pen marks, bruising, swelling, bandaids, lumps and bumps are all gone.  i wish this was a quick process, but i have to remember...GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT.  looking forward to working out again.  i also plan on following a strict low carb diet as of april 1st.  just so you know, i am 5'9 inches tall and usually weigh somewhere between 135 and 145.  i'm too scared to step on the scale right now...i'm sure the procedure has caused me to retain some water.  can't wait to get my body ready for summer.  so excited that my procedure also includes lazer treatments to lighten the lil' scars, and also endermology (?) -- i think that's what it's called.  can't wait to take the garment off and wear cute jeans to show off my smaller hips, butt, and thigh area.  my legs do itch a bit today, and i have experienced a bit of a tingle/ prickle sensation.  i hear this is all part of the healing process.  hope these daily updates are helpful.  i'll give another photo update after my next doctor check up (2 weeks?).     

day 6 -

i did lots of running around today and forgot that i had the procedure done.  the only time i am sore is when i first sit or stand.  i didn't sleep well last night, because i was too warm in the garment.  tomorrow i start my low carb diet and walking (i got the ok from the doc to do light exercising).  my bruising is moving down my legs....looks ugly.  doc says that gravity is taking over.  i am in my swelling stage, but it should start to go away in another week and a half.  i'm finished w/ my antibiotics, and still taking the arnica tablets.  i may start using the arnica gel once my lil' holes are healed up.  i also started back up on my multi-vits again.  hope these day by day reviews are helpful.  i'll be back tomorrow
