My Smartlipo Experience, Day 2



Recommended Posts

Yesterday I had smartipo (a form of laser lipo) done to my inner/outer thighs and knees. I did extensive research on it before i had it done and read people's testimonials. people describe the pain as if you have had an intense work out. It is suppose to be so painless that it is done under local anesthesia. My plastic surgeon does it under general. Ladies and gentlemen, it HURT!! at least the first 2 days does. maybe it's because of the extent of the job i had done that make it hurt a lot. It is suppose to hurt less than regular liposuction, but i can't imagine something hurting more than that. I am not trying to scare any body, but i wish i was better prepared mentally for the pain. I can't say if i regret doing it, but i don't believe i will do it again but who knows. I will keep you guys posted on my progress.

Hi Mina! I had abdominal liposuction (smart lipo) this summer of upper and lower abs. It was before I decided to get gastric sleeve but I was so sick of looking at my tummy. They did mine under local anesthesia. I could feel a bit of the awkwardness and poking while he was doing it. I didn't hurt after surgery but I did feel really weird for a couple of weeks. That strange numbness was so awkward. I have to say that my results were really good. He took off about 6 lbs of fat and it made a big difference. I dropped about 5 inches in my waist! It made a big difference in how my pants fit and also when I looked in the mirror. I hope your results are as pleasing as you want them to be. I really think that most people are satisfied but some people say they have unslightly lumps or other problems. I have been happy with my results. Best of luck to you.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
