WORTH IT
So lipo hurts..I mean hurts...did I tell you lipo hurts? I was honestly not expecting to be in this much pain. I had 3400 cc removed (about 7.5 lbs I think). My guess is the less you get removed the easier the recovery. I got a lot removed and I am so so very sore. I'm about 6 days post op and I'm still very very sore and swollen. I'm back at work but it ain't easy. Today I had my first synergy massage and it hurt so good. It hurt but it also helped. I just want to feel normal again. I'm not really rethinking my decision because bikini season is upon us and I will look great in one this summer. I haven't worn a bikini in like 15 years but lipo will change that. I work out several times a week and I run but the fat just wasn't moving quick enough for me. I got tired of looking at myself in the mirror and wishing I looked different. Now I just wish the swelling would subside.

I've seen posts where people are saying lip hurts-as you do also but doesn't the pain meds help? I'm having it done soon and with all my past surgeries pain meds make it all go away

it does hurt...I'm about a month post op and I'm still sore. I think it has something to do with the nerve endings being tampered with. I'm not in pain per-se but uncomfortable.

Exactly 2 weeks post op

So today marks two weeks exactly from having my surgery. I'm in almost no pain at all I'm so happy about that. I didn't like the idea of tradition pain medication so I took extra strength curamin and it helped a lot with the pain. My results are not where I want them to be yet and I understand that I am still very very early in the healing process. I'm crazy optimistic and I'm expecting awesome results..I just understand that they will come with time. I exercised this morning and my stomach was hard and lumpy. I've heard that sometimes exercise makes results worse but I love to exercise and I wanted to know how my body would react. I walked 20 min on a treadmill at a 3.0 speed and I did resistance band work for about 20 minutes. I felt great but my stomach didn't seem to appreciate it much. I had a synergie massage scheduled for today and I was so grateful when she was done. Synergie does not feel good in the beginning stages. It's like a vacuum sucking whatever those hard spots are to the surface so they can be drained I think. My massage therapist was girl you needed this so bad today...I did I did!! I can almost feel the fluid moving through my body...think drinking water on an empty stomach and seeing how you feel it traveling through your body. I got 8 free massages with my procedure so for that I'm grateful.

You're results are coming along nicely. Are you using the ab board? Along with the compression garment?
June 11, 2016
The purpose of the board is to flatten the abdominal skin after liposuction. I believe most of the RSelfers are getting them off Amazon and it will give better results when used with the compression garment.

A lot of people had messages included my Dr. specifically said " No Messages", I wonder why, when others have them included??

you look great, it takes such a long time to heal and get your final results. I am 7 weeks out and still lumpy and by night time I swell up a lot but I am very active all day long. I wish I had gotten an ab board my dr. did not suggest it and its to late now. Good luck on your recovery and remember to just be patient
