i can't believe im closing in on the 2 month mark... this forum has been AMAZING. the recovery has NOT been easy with many ups and downs but overall i feel so much better. Still having a lot of swelling with everyone says is normal and im just telling myself "this is not the final result, this is not the final result" but i am so so happy i took the plunge and i dont regret it at all! not having the rolls over the waistband of my clothes and not having to sit or stand or dress to hide the extra fat that i couldnt get rid of has been awesome. i KNOW i need to start exercising, im just scared! and its so hard to start again after being "off" for so long. i can't wait to get the definition back and to see how my body continues to change and i know the only way to do that is to start pushing it at the gym again. thanks to all you ladies for the support!!

Drain site pain? Nerve pain?
DidTheTummy2015November 25, 2015
So my drain site is still red, dr h gave me a second round of antibiotics. The actual hole is finally closing up so that's a relief but the area itself doesn't look great and it feels like there is tightness and burning In a shooting line down my thigh. I'm on the meds but can that be nerve pain? Damage? It was fine for a while these pains are relatively new :/

Sounds like pain from sitting too long. I'm sure your fine but I would mention it to your Dr.

You will go through lots of different pains & sensations while your body recovers. I know it's hard but be patient;) I'm at 4 months & almost all the weird pains, burning & pulling sensations are gone. It takes time so just trust your body to heal. If you take a look at my progression pics huge difference from weeks to months post op. Dr. H is awesome. Keep healing & positive vibes your way :))

This has been quite the roller coaster!! I can't believe I'm at the 4 week mark. I feel good, I still have a lot of Lower ab swelling and I feel really thick. I hope these aren't my final results because as much as there's a big difference and those damn rolls and all the flub are gone I was envisioning a more lithe flat figure. Not crazy about my back/hip lipo results, I also hope that's still swelling. Going for PO appt this morning so I'm going to ask him what to expect. I also keep telling myself once I get back to the gym things will continue to drain. Don't get me wrong, I don't regret this at all!! I love that my clothes fit better and I don't have to maneuver around to hide the flab. Happy healing to all my TT buddies :)

Girl you are looking great!!! Just give it some time ., you are only a month from your tt ., I've been reading it can take up to 3 to 6 months to see the final result , just keep wearing your "faja" 24/7 . I love how low you scar is ., and it getting flat right? I hope dr.H can give me low scar as yours :)
Take some bromelain tablets I heard is good for swelling ., xoxo

What don't you like about the lipo results? Is it any better now?

Hi- i feel like he could have taken more off of my love handles in the back... I'll take pics of what I'm not happy with and post them. I'll ask him about revision at my next appointment which isn't till January. No general I seem improvements I just still feel thick and swollen, but I don't have any more flubber hanging over my waistbands which is amazing!!!!

Someone else told me he was kind of conservative with the LIPo... I'm planning to see him the spring so I'm a little nervous that I might need revisions if he doesn't take it off. Thanks for posting your story
