Liposuction Question



Recommended Posts

I am having a lower body lift, Tummy Tuck and breast lift on 06/14 and will also have some Lipo along with it. If you've had lipo how bad was the drainage? They make it sound bad. They gave me puppy pee pads to put under me on the bed so I don't get the sheets messed up. That really grosses me out. LOL

I've had Lipo. Those pads were helpful in the car ride home and the first few days to protect my bed and couch. Day 1 there is the most drainage but it really wasn't that bad.

Skinny Jill are you going to have the drainage tubes in? I'm 3 weeks post op and I still have 1 in and I'm still producing Fluid. But I don't have any swelling or complications.

I will have 4 drains, 2 from the TT and 2 from the LBL. Does the Fluid ever leak out of the drains?

Nope, they have a little cap on them and you empty them out. My Fluid is starting to come down after 3 weeks. Yay! Maybe I'll get it out this week. It really limits what I can wear with it pinned to me! I'm still wearing the compression garment for another month.

That is good to know. I am ok with the drains. I am just worried about the Lipo drainage.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
