Lap band/smartlipo help!!!!

[Jaymie72 0]

Well it is day 2 post smartlipo and here is what I am experiencing:

Still swelling and now some bruising is being noted. Arms still feel real jiggly like Jello but Dr said that will go away.

The pain is minimal still. I have worked out (did yesterday too) at 25% of what I normally do (dr said walking would help the swelling tremendously). I have cleaned house, done laundry, and vacummed all with little or no pain.

The biggest thing that is annoying is the compression garment that he has me wearing. It comes right down below the elbows and it is causing my skin right in the crook of my elbow it hurt and is red. I got some gauze pads and put them there as a barrier and that has seemed to do the trick.

There seems to be no more drainage and the incisions are healing just fine.

My hubs and I measured my arms yesterday and the initial measurement pre Lipo was 15", they were 14" yesterday and that is with all the swelling and Fluid still in them. That made me feel good.

I also went into my closet and tried on a bunch of shirt that either never fit around my arms or were tight and I was elated to see that they all fit just fine now.

So that is my update. I will do this whenever I feel it necessary to do so!
