My Mini-Tuck, 360 Lipo Journey

It’s been three and a half weeks since my procedure. I am pleased, but I know I will need more work done to get where I want to be. I’m healing very well, except for some hard spots around my belly button. My scar is mostly smooth now. My P/S is going to give me something at my one month visit to help with scar recovery. I planned to provide more updates but the day before my surgery my mom went into hospice. She passed Wednesday, September 16, 2020. It was so hard to hide this from my entire family. I have a bad foot burn and have had 4 surgeries on it. I was scheduled for a 5th the week of my procedure. So I told them that’s what my surgery was and there had been a complication so they had to put a drain in my side to prevent blood clots. Lol. I’m no nurse so forgive me if that sounds cheesy. Hahaha. But they believed it, no questions asked.

I tried the lymphatic massages yesterday and as I expected, it caused more bruising on my body. Historically I have never been able to get a massage without bruising. I HATE massages (I know crazy, right). I am worried about healing properly so I did as recommended. But now I’m wondering whether I should continue them. I am in so much more pain right now it’s almost hard to move. I’ve been using the Arnica gel and Arnica pills and all was good until yesterday. Ugh!

Man listen. I have always known I wasn’t meant to do drugs. When I tell you I was trippin ... I was really trippin. Hallucinations is what did it for me. Nope. I’m done. I’ll take Tylenol or some Gabapentin anything but that! Lol.
