Oh Boy, What a Journey So Far
WORTH IT
Couple of months before my procedure I was reading all reviews here, thinking - that will be easy. I was super wrong. First three days I was miserable. And the photo of final result what doctor showed me right after the procedure, was keeping me sane. I really believe the ones who say it is easy have a very strong support system. I live alone. With my dog. I had my best friend staying with me for the first 4 days but she is kind of useless when it comes to the blood scenes from Carrie. So, yada yada yada...
On the day of procedure my only concern was a general anesthesia but they took into consideration all my concerns and made my experience with that very easy. When I woke up I was surrounded by everybody I met at the beginning. Warming me up, giving me tasty tea with honey and asking me a lot of questions. They gave me some pain medicine because I had a lot of pain in my upper abdomen and put me in my 'best friend' compression garment. Doctor came, said he removed 5 liters of fat and showed me a photo of the result. I have no clue how I got to the recovery room but there I was, chilling, having water, a tea and some cookies and my best friend showing up. After three hours I was free to go home. I was so uncomfortable. I didn't have so much pain as just soreness. But getting out of the bed, going to the bathroom, sitting down and standing up was a nightmare. I was sleeping half sitting. I couldn't really eat, I had no appetite, and the only thing I wanted was more and more water. The second day, I was allowed to take a shower. But I thought I will wait until noon. The doctor called to ask how I feel and if everything is OK, encourage me to walk more. I decided to take a shower after his call. Taking of the garment was not as bad as I have read and thought, and the shower felt good just... I got a lot of bleeding from one of my incisions. The blood was running down my tights, and all my white bathroom became a scene from Carrie.Anyhow, on the third day, I had my first MLM, which was... *RS Bleep* how painful for my right side, but really relaxing afterward. After that I had a doctors appointment. He was really pleased with a result, was looking and checking me like the best art project he's ever done. Anyhow, back home, went for a dinner out with my friend and the next day, we did a little, easy hike. Every day I can do more and more things - walk faster, bend over, sleep more comfortable, not to pray at my dog's poo. I have also became impatient because I want to see the end result.

About the garment. I actually thought it will be tight and I will feel it but it was like a second skin. When I had to take it off for a shower or for a manual lymph massage, it felt very strange not to have it on. I think I was a bit worried regarding going to the bathroom at the beginning.
And when the doctor said I can stop wearing the garment, it took me quite a while to get used to be without it.
