44 Yr Old SafeLipo - Toronto, ON

I have wanted to have liposuction on a few areas that never change no matter what size I was for years! I workout at least 5 days per week, but gained 20 lbs when I quit smoking 3 years ago and haven't been able to get it off. I did a ton of research and decided to go for it! Thanks to all of you ladies who have posted your own stories. It's helped me with my decision a great deal! I'm doing the same in hopes that it will help others with expectations, etc.

I was pretty anxious leading up to the surgery as I'd never had one before. Every one was exceptionally nice and made me feel as relaxed as possible. I knew I was in great hands. I had zero nausea, minimal pain which would best be described as discomfort after a tough workout, and I was able to get up and about on my own. I had a few bouts of dizziness but nothing major.
I've been taking Percocet as prescribed and have been relatively comfortable.
Dr Jugenburg and his team are top notch! He uses the Safelipo technology/method and I only have one incision that is bleeding a little. They have a stitch which will come out next week at my follow up.
Swelling started about 6 hours after surgery and now it's settled into my hips and groin area. Lots of bruising, but I expected that.
Overall I am very pleased and grateful to feel as great as I do. I'm aware that days 2 and 3 are typically more uncomfortable, but I'm hoping that a chill weekend will help.
I've been instructed to remove my CG's 5 times per day to massage all areas for a total of 15 min each time. That feels a little tender but it's nit unbearable. :)

I'm 5'5" and 155 lbs the morning of surgery.
