Excellent news! 7 kilos is A LOT! Wow!

Thanks for posting, I know first hand about the lipo, it's been four weeks now and still very tender in the lipo area....ouch!

Please stay in touch and let us know how she's doing day to day.

harley,

did you have lipo on your back as well? if so, how do you sleep on your back if it hurts so much?

I had it under my arms and the "flanks" as the doctor called them, the area the bra covers.

I think I was able to sleep on my back because it was even pressure, if that makes sense. Then I couldn't stand it, but for so long, not through an entire night, so I lie partial side/partial back. For the first week, I actually used a round pillow wedged in my back.

I've had my bra off now for about an hour and my back is starting to ache, so I'm off to get the "sports type bra issued at surgery" back on. I think it's the girls new security blanket, lol.

harley,

thanks ... i didnt even think sleeping side/back was an option... its one of my 20000 questions to ask tomorrow cause i am NOT a back sleeper

Neal, it will be an adjustment for you, I've never slept on my back, LOL. It feels like after a while you can't move. I'm a side/tummy sleeper, but have not slept on tummy yet.

I think I mentioned my doctor said sleep, regardless of position was more important.

Write your questions down, you think you'll remember, but you won't.
