In recovery - feel like I have been hit by a truck!

Just had a back lift, thighplasty with lipo, and revision of brachioplasty with lipo two days ago.  I am feeling a lot better today, but still like I have been run down by a truck!  My back incision on my right side is sore - I think I have been stressing that area too much getting up and down.  I think I have a fluid pocket in my arm and it feels really weird.  No signs of infection or anything, though.

Any advice, prayers, and well-wishes would be exceedingly appreciated!

Thanks, Jenn!  The more I think about it, I wonder if what I am thinking is a fluid pocket is just normal bruising after lipo..

You are in my thoughts and prayers. I am on day three of recovery from lbl/bl and I think the same truck hit me too!

one month ago yesterday I had corset trunk plasty and I think the whole fleet of trunks got me the first week, now each day gets better and better, lots of rest, drugs, protein, and remember you had major surgery so just relax....take advantage of this time, before you know it you will be back in the working seat and have to get up and do things, no more excuses to be waited on....lol....I can't wait till I heal and I can go to bed without getting a wedgie from my body suit.......lol.....

Today is day 25 post op for me. My advice is to rest & drink fluids as well. For the lipo - I have been massageing those areas that are hard - they are much better today!!
