post op day 8

Had a mld massage and ultra sound therapy Friday and it def helped with the pain and stiff ing Friday night and yesterday but I am back to being in pain and very stiff last night and today. Back to work tomorrow think I should of had a few more days off tbh. My boobs where nothing compared to the vaser . It does take it out of you and it hurts like hell. My mld therapist said it’s 50 percent the surgery and 50 percent post op care for the end result. My results are looking amazing but I wish the pain would do one now

I know Louise – every time I sit down and get up I am like aghhhhhh!!!! 😉

I’m in day 10 seems to be easing up with the stiffness but my legs and ankles are swollen looks awful have you experienced this I haven’t had my legs done? I’m also 4 pound heavier although I have been careful what I’m eating so I’m hoping it’s just water and swelling. Can’t wait for another massage Friday ! Hope you ate recovering well bell.

Hi hun – yes I had really bad swollen ankles they are still puffy but are going down slowly – at one point I couldn’t get any shoes on I just had foot into leg no ankle at all! The nurse said not to worry as they can take a few weeks to subside. When I woke up this am they seem to have finally gone down a bit more and am starting to get a bit of shape back! I have been sleeping with a pillow under my feet this past few nights too which may have helped?
Am sure it is just swling hun – I am normally 51/52kg and was 54 a few days post op when swelling at worse and was really panicking!! yesterday I was back down to 52 and I had noticed swelling def gone down in that time so I am sure yours will come off too especially if you are still holding lots of fluid in your ankles!!! Don’t worry!! MLD is great help I think xxx

hi ya it was alittle better this morning but has the day goes on I can see me swelling again, I think its cause im sitting down at my desk at work , not very comfortable in the foam vest but where I have had the vaser the swelling gone down loads. I am drinking lots of water to try and flush it out
