It has been a week that I will never forget. I feel better about this part of the surgery now. I actually waited until today to write the past weeks posts. I kept notes but was in so much pain I did not want to scare anyone away from this part of the surgery. I will admit that it was far more painful than I thought it would be, but as I now start seeing the results, it was worth it. I know that I have at least 3 or 4 months before all of the swelling will be gone, but with the pain lessening and the bruising going away, it is now OK.
I do have a new bruise at my lower sternum. It is quite a bruise. Hurts a little but manageable with Tylenol. I will probably be on Tylenol for at least a week more.
I can see the lipo marks now on my tummy. I have a Dr. appt. on Wed and hopefully he can tell me what to do to lessen these marks
