Vaser girls Started by: Jane

Great news Jane! Is that a week PO now? Seeing two consultants when I get back now!

Yeah I would recommend him also, I just let him do what he wanted this time around as I trusted him and he knew how I felt about my stomach. I wonder if its the vest thats making our backs ache so much. Mine is mainly at the top wear the vest stops as if im not being supported plus not wearing a bra sometimes probably isnt helping :/. Just think Jane in another week we could all done with aching etc and have nice flat stomachs 🙂 xx

Yeah I agree I think its our posture. I had my thighs done in March hun was hardly any pain just swelling. You wear the same suit that we are wearing now just with longer legs so no daft vests ha. Took a bit time to get out of a chair and for the first week mobility was a bit restricted but no where as bad as this time lol. Thankfully the twins have been good, feeding them was a bit of a nightmare and changing them but its getting better. As soon as Saturday morning comes im in that shower and taking this vest off lol! xxx

Hi Jane/Steph, with regards to the swelling, do you have a lot and what does that mean with regards to your normal
Clothes? I live in fitted trousers for work and skinny jeans! Got a feeling they will still say no to vaser so mini tummy tuck may be my only option 🙁 as I have some loose skin when I bend down from having 2 babies. Heard the recovery time is much longer though and would mean a week off work! . Still need my love handles addressing though. Do you know what the discount is for 2 procedures? X

Hi girls can I ask how much vaser cost you? and worth it? Im very tempted to have something dome about my thighs

oh really ? sorry had no idea it wasn’t allowed! im only one week PO BA at the moment. but its defiantly something ill look into next year

I was told to buy trousers in a bigger size as your legs do swell up quite a bit so wearing skinny jeans etc may be a no no for the first few weeks or so. But then again I had inner, outer thighs and knees done so that may be the reason. I still have a little bit swelling but my legs were swollen for longer mainly because you use them all the time (or I did having young babies was had to rest). Worth it though I have gone down 2 sizes in my trousers! Yeah Jane I see Becky tomorrow :), on a countdown to taking this vest of, what a nightmare, I hate going out as you can see the top bit at the back lol. Took my vest of today and can really see the difference xx

bit of advise when you finally take the vest off (which i know is a massive relief) if you are wearing tight clothes be careful to start off with because by the end of the day you can swell a little and the jeans or pants leave indentations (they disapear but they are not nice) primark have the best fat pants which are thongs too so no VPL which you can wear stop it happening… they are good to wear when you start exercising too feels more comfortable. If you have had inner thighs done i dont think it would be as much of an issue but for stomach and flanks this will help.

Hi ladies, I had vaser on wednesday, I showered for the first time today but was quite disappointed to see there wasn’t a lot of difference in my shape from before, there doesn’t appear to be a lot of swelling or bruising and the surgeon only removed 1.2ltrs any advice? Thanksxx

Yeyy vest off today :), thanks Amy ill try not to wear anything tight just in case. Been running around like a mad woman and did feel a little bit uncomfortable yesterday, getting ahead of myself I think xxx

Hey girls I forgot to check in after my appointment. My nurse is adamant we have to wear the vest for 4 weeks 🙁 I went out for the first time today only for a little walk to the shop and I’m in agony now. I wish I hadn’t and the garment is really squashing my left rib xx

I was like noooo 🙁 do you just have to wear your spanx type things now instead of the vest? Xx

I’m just wondering because I’ve got a thing to go to when I’m 3 weeks 1 day post op and I really don’t want to wear this vest for it. I’ll be ok to sneak it off for 24 hours won’t I? X

No one has told me I can take the vest off, got another 2.5 weeks to go, 6 weeks total and I’m so uncomfortable and it’s itchy, will be 4 weeks post op on thurs…. Tempted to ring them to ask :-/

I don’t mind the compression garments, it was the padding that was killing me. I rang them up and I can take it off just gotta keep an eye on swelling and put it back on if the swelling comes back :-/ surely if I left it 6 weeks, I’d still have the swelling anyway?!
