6 Weeks!!! I finally made it to this point and am thrilled thus far. Although my treated areas are still a little tender when poked, I am feeling really good. I will start working out again and am really looking forward to that. I am definitely happy with choosing to do this procedure and all and all it was a pretty good experience considering it was surgery. I am more than happy to answer any questions anybody has....

Your pics look great, spokaloo (and it looks like you've gotten a tan too). :)

So this is the 26 th day after surgery . I have hard spots and an actual line and still swelled. I love the smaller look though the freakin bumps have me concerned. I bought a massage from Bookstore and a heating pad. also every other way possible to break the areas. Did you also have this happen? And if so how long for it to start to turn around I feel a little taken by the doctor because I told the surgeon I was going on vacation at the end of August. I would have waited had I known this...Any help or advice would be gratefully appreciated

I did have the hard lumps and bumps.... i was very worried because one of them was quite large, but i dont have any now and my skin and really softened back up. I never massaged them either since it was tender.... time is your best friend right now so just hang in there.

I read in one of the posts to use a wooden roller on them. I'm wondering if even a rolling pin would work?? Might be worth a try... I'm still at the "don't touch me, I'm swollen" stage, so no bumps yet.

First off you look great, Congratulations! I had my surgery on June 16th I'm still kind of swollen and my back and sides look good but my stomach is still lumpy and I have a line. Ughhh! Anyway, how long did you wear your garment?

I wore it for the first 4 weeks and then the 5th and 6th weeks i only wore it here and there...I also had to line thing going on so the doctor had me put a sheet of hard foam under my garment and that really helped. My stomach is still lumpy too, which i dont know if its just my skin or what but I cant complain too much. :)

2 Weeks: Feeling soooo much better! I am still a little tender to the touch but able to get around almost as well as before. I am noticing the swelling to subside more and more. I am just excited to start working out to get toned up.

I am nervous as I am doing this on Friday. I have one week to get on my feet. I did it so it would fall on the long 4 th of July weekend. Was it worth it? I have been second guessing this. When the nurse called Saturday to go over what I will need to do. I was shocked to find out I would be leaking. I saw smart lipo on Good Morning and the made it seem like a walk in the park..

It is definitely NOT A WALK IN THE PARK like they make it seem. Surgery is surgery. Plain and simple. But compared with traditional lipo it is alot better recovery process. But it is not instant amazing results. Yes there will be fat gone, but your skin will be uneven for quite some time, mine is still pretty lumpy and then there is the swelling. But if you keep that in mind and know what to truly to expect and can be patient for your results, then it is worth it. The best advice is to do your research, research your doctor, and get the best idea of what to expect after surgery. I wont lie, the first week sucks, but for me, it only gets better and better every day. Good luck

I am. Concerned as I also am slated to do this on Friday..Is this worth off? I'm not real big I wanted this to get the tone I haven't been able to get after years of running and a full year of P90.. I wasn't nervous until I started reading on the internet. Is it worth it????
July 1, 2011
Glad to say its over and went well . I was shocked at that though it had some pain. The stress before to me was much worse . And I am still very numb so we will see as the day progress on.
