Hello everyone I just got Smartlipo Tuesday May 17th and I was under Anastasia asleep for the whole procedure. When I was awaken my upper abs were sore like a burning sensation I couldn't stand straight and I couldn't sleep good the first night. I was skeptical on taking pain medication because I would google Smartlipo and mostly all patients were awake but the pain for me is unbearable as this is day 2 for me.. Everyone is different and I hope this pain and swelling goes away soon I have a trip to cabo June 23rd I hope some swelling goes away.

1 week Post Op..Was released yesterday from my Dr to start a moderate walking!! Yay!! Since the surgery I weighed in at 191.0 and today I'm 185.2!! And imagine the swelling isn't even no where gone yet so imagine once it's gone.. So far I'm loving my results I'll post some before and after pictures once I'm completely healed.. I actually have a waist now.. Just to give you guys a visual I'm 5'4 so being that short I carried all my weight in my abdomen and back (flanks) area but they're disappearing by the day. I'll keep you guys updated weekly.
