Lingering Lipo pain??

Patty,

The answer is YES.  I had lipo on my lower back, along with a full thigh lif****on of lipo on my legs 8 weeks ago.  My lower back area is still the area that hurts the most, and also still swells at the end of the day!  When I'm sitting for an extended period, it hurts a lot when I get up, but once I'm moving it feels better.  My understanding is that there is less fat and tissue in this area so the liposuction occurs closer to the bones, etc., so that's why it hurts more.  

In any event, glad you are back to work and recovering well.

Thanks Michelle,

Glad that I am not the only one.  When I get tired..(which is still alot), my back is really tired and painful too.  Thank goodness for the heating pad!    The lipo pain has been worse than the tummy tuck....but it is getting better ...and I love the results so it was worth it but wow...didn't expect it to last this long!  I hear the thigh lift is very painful...have you done your tummy?

by the way..I am in Northern Calif too..on the Peninsula.

Take care
Patty

Hi Patty,

We're practically neighbors :)  I spend a ton of time on the Pennisula and will be moving to San Carlos in April.   We should meet up... it's always nice to have someone nearby for support who has experienced a similar journey and can uniquely understand.

Yes, I've had my tummy done.  I had a LBL two years ago whi*****luded a tummy tuck with muscle tightening.  I've had a lot of surgeries, but the tummy tuck is what I love the most.  My stomach is completely flat even two years after.  I love it! 

How is your recovery going?

Michelle
