Day 17

WORTH IT$2,000
Day 17 post procedure and am off all the medications. No more shooting pains, but the area still somewhat sore. Swelling down but not gone. For anyone who experiences pain I encourage you to let your practitioner know and don't be afraid to ask for the medications. I was beginning to think the pain would never go away, but it does, just hang in there. Hopefully I will start seeing some results in the next 2 weeks and it will make all of this worth it.

Is your skin looser? I had a PS tell me not to do this at my age (44) because it would make my ab skin loose and wrinkle?

Im 53 and have had multiple places done and no wrinkly skin at all. Its so gradual that the skin has time to adjust. The inner thighs are the only place i would worry about. I just had mine done, so far so good.

I've had 5 kids, but athletic and thin. I would say on my abs the skin is a little loose. Can tell more when sitting, most in a plank! Was your skin tight before?

Yes, I didn't have a lot of loose skin

I’ve had upper and lower done (male) and that is exactly what has happened.

Day 14

mldpAugust 1, 2013
Happy to report that I am feeling better and was even able to work out today, although I am not pain-free and am still taking the neurontin, but not using the lidocaine patches today. At least I am able to function and slept last night without any ice. I am still swollen and sore. Starting to massage the area with arnica gel in hopes to get the swelling to go down. This has definitely been a different experience the second time around. Pain and swelling lasting longer than I thought it would, but at least I am on the upswing.

Day 12

So today is better than yesterday. I think the neurontin is working. I am not pain free, but it's definitely under control and I can function and leave the house. The neurontin
makes me a little sleepy and slow, but I don't care! Much better than to be in intense pain. I am hoping I only need to take it for a few more days.
