Vaser girls

Just wondering how all the vaser girls are doing? I’ve felt a lot better the last few days and have a lot more movement. Over the moon with my results x

Hey Jane, my swelling is starting to go down yeyy lol. No more pain when getting up either :). Roll on the end of the week all the swelling may be gone! x

That’s great steph! I’m still sore when I wake up, but just take some paracetamol and I’m fine for the rest of the day. Can’t wait to get this vest off! The nurse told me 2weeks, but I’ve read people on here saying they kept theirs on for 4! X

Yeah I cant wait for Saturday to take it off. Becky just said 2 weeks for the vest then the suit on its own. I still get little bits of pain but as the days go on its less and less. Its the aching back that is annoying me now, just doesnt seem to go away. Hope we dont have to wear the vest for 4 think id freak out if she does say that, cant fit any clothes over it and feel like a tramp wearing hoodies etc lol x

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

Steph, I’m the same, the thought of 4 weeks is horrendous! I’ve felt like a tramp all week!!! Still need to cut more off the back cz it shows under my clothes!!! I’m seeing Becky again on Wednesday, she have me the same advice as you. It my back that hurts so much when I wake up! Can’t wait to sleep on my side again!!!! Xx

Hi Leanne, yeah it’s been a week now! I have to say it’s been a harder recovery than I expected but so, so, worth it. I never dreamt of such amazing results. I would recommend mr kazazzi he’s magic!!!! Xx

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

Eekkk can’t wait for that day steph!!!! It’s def the vest that hurts our back, I’m sure of it cz it’s changing my posture a bit. How long ago did you get thighs done? It makes me want them done too now lol!! Would you recommend? Is the recovery as bad? I think you deserve a medal having this and looking after your twins xxx

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

You must feel like a new woman! I do!!! Are you seeing Becky this week? 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

I’m 10 post op, don’t have a huge amount of swelling, but you have to wear a bulky 4d vest with a garment over the top for 2 weeks, so you need to wear loose tops over the top to hide the vest, also trousers with an elastic waistband as vest goes low down your sides and over your bum. Your surgeon with look at your skin tone and give you the best advice. I had to take a week off work after vaser, which I didn’t expect, because I was so sore and you are very restricted in your movements in the vest. Guess it depends on your job too. Don’t know about discounts, but def worth finding out! Xx

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

Worth every penny Hannah. We’re not allowed to discuss prices on here, and it depends on the length of time your vaser takes your surgeon, if you book a consultation they will advise x

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

No probs Hun! Would def recommend mr kazazzi for vaser ! X

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

Yeh it’s the VEST COUNTDOWN!!! 3 more days for you steph and 4 for me!!! Just think how comfortable we will be!!! Sick of wearing baggy clothes and this ‘fat suit’ hahahaha x

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.

Thanks Amy x

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

You will be surprised you think there isnt much swelling but there will be, you defiantly have to be patient, when you are next in the clinic ask the nurse if she can put you before and after pic’s up on the computer. Its soo crazy when you look at it that way.

Remember not to do too much too soon too as this will slow your healing down too.

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

Hi everyone I’ve just had Vaser and just put a post up. If someone can check it out and give me some advice I’d really appreciate it because I’m really struggling at the moment. The emergency nurse hasn’t been any help either.

Hi Chelsea I’ve replied to your post Hun. Steph……..I’m so jealous!!!!! Xx

I’ve added you Chelsea.

To the other girls having they’re vest off, how long were you in them? I’ve been told 6 weeks and I’m already sick of it :-/

Me and steph have both been advised 2 weeks. The vest is def the worst part of recovery!! Can’t wait to get rid of mine! X

Only 2 weeks? My nurse told me I had to have the full thing on for 4 weeks and then the spanx suit thing for another 2 🙁 will see what she’s saying on Monday xx

Yeah we both saw the nurse at mya newcastle. After 2 weeks the vest can come off and we just need to wear a new smaller garment and ideally some spanx pants. I read on here that girls had to wear theirs for longer, but the nurse confirmed that wouldn’t be necessary. 4 weeks sounds hellish. Let me know what your nurse says xx

I definitely will, I’m in at half 10 on Monday at Birmingham clinic so will let you know what they say once I’ve been. I hope I’ve not got to wear this thing for 4 weeks, it’s so vile! xx

I’ll be interested to hear what your nurse advises. I know it’s gross!!! Lol xx

Omg 4 weeks? That would be hell, was soo glad to take it off after 2! Love having i off, can actually wear nice clothes instead of joggers etc xx

Hi steph! Took my vest of last night woohoo!!! However I’m a bit worried about getting an imprint where the garment hooks up? Gutted cz my new garment is way too small, gonna see if mya can swap it? Yey we can wear nice clothes again!!! Xx

Mine is a bit tight mainly around my waist not sure if its just because we will still be swollen though? Leaves me a bit breathless sometimes lol. Ive had some imprints too but im sure Amy said she had the same but it faded? Try the first garment and see if that fits better just put it on the tightest hook and see if that feels better. Im over the moon with my results 🙂 xx

Ahh me too Hun I’m thrilled. Feel so happy and so much more confidence. Yeah I’ve put my old garment on the tightest hook, just want a spare one cz I’m desperate to wash this one!!! Just spoken to Julie, she’s going to try and swap my garment for a bigger one and she says the imprint will just go. Think I’m just paranoid want everything perfect xx

Aww well thats great if they can change it. Can you remember how long we wear this suit for? I cant remember at all :/ xx

I think its 2 weeks?? Not totally sure though!!! X

Second day without vest and although I’m less restricted and not getting the back ache, I’m looking really swollen today. This is the first time I’ve really felt swollen. Was getting used to being skinny and now all bloated!! Feeling emotional too!!! Xx

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

It was my left side that ached too, like a really bad stitch! Ahh gutted for you having to wear it for 4 weeks, just take each day as it comes Hun xxx

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

I wore spanks after my garment, (i took mine off earlier than i was supose to) and just wore spanks Mr T said he was fine with that.. but I just had flanks so that might be why

xxx

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

put spanks on or just your think garment not the vest, just for the day though as you dont want indents or to swell up again

xxx

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 :-/

Hi Jenni, Defo call and ask, Just make sure you still have your tight macom garment on… Depending on the area just go and buy some tight spanks thats what I did

xxx

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?!
