Thank you Tammy! I was unable to keep as many updates as if like.. I'm still tender and if I stretch to far I feel
Like my skins ripping off my muscles, but generally I can play with my kids again! And being down to a size 4 is unreal!

One month check up
Well my compression was too loose so going into my one month check up I anticipated a smaller set. Insted Dr took me off surgical compression all together! He recommended spanx or something like spanx (merena, maiden form) he just said highest retail
Compression is still many steps below sergical.. So I guess I'll need to go check some out at the store! I have high waist spanx with crop leggings.. But they are size medium and I'm thinking I need smalls now!
I'm so glad dr looked at the hot areas.. Just still deep swelling and no infections.. My one induction the popes open over Father's Day weekend already started to heal and he just said to keep it clean and disinfected (check!)..
I spent more time talking about the kids and my dear husband than my concerns because when I see him, I feel so calm that I forget I had any!
Luckily I can always email the wonderful nurses!
Hopefully I get those one month pics back so I can post them!!

Wow! You look fabulous!!!
What kind of lipo was done of you?
Ga or La? Did he take out 1.8 litres of fat or more?
Thanks

I had traditional lipo. I think he said 2 liters or more total, forgot to ask yesterday for the pictures!
I hear laser or ultrasonic assisted has more effect but is more traumatic on the body in the first weeks of recovery.
He used a very thin Canula in order to get smooth results.. Only think I regret not knowing is how cellulite dimpling would be more apparent as its not in the deep fat pockets that they remove.. Oh well only water and exercise can fix that!

Were you awake during surgery?
Or under GA?
How long was the surgery?
Thanks

I had a four hour surgery. My dr explained in his opinion not spending the $1400-2000 to be under GA is like telling a patient to be awake during torture! He doesn't believe in stressing a patients body and mind out more than needed.
He said he can numb the immediate area using the liquid local, but some areas don't get fully numb and patients can feel burning or sharp pains. This can lead to the dr not taking his time to get all fat channels removed. Gravity plays a part in final results. So he is not surprised some Drs want patients standing during the procedure. However your marked up standing. If the dr is seasoned in Lipo he will do detailed Mark up.

My dr took his time and the $ was worth having good results rather than having to go back again later..
