Thoughts and experiences with Liposuction?

Hi Lee,

Miss you!  YOu know I had to literally look at my scars because I wasn't sure.  Mine are still pink/purplish color.  I am not the prettiest scarer and you will never see me on a PS advertisment ..I just don't scar pretty.  I tend to keloid and I have that in areas...especially my belly button.  I did the tape for sixths months faithfully starting at first post op appt..which I think was on day 5.  I think my scaring would have been much worse had I not done that.  But you know ...as long as my tummy is flat...I really don't care...I have never been a bikini girl anyway!!
Are you going to the support group this Wed..I just found out that it is this coming week on the 5th.  Cathy and I are planning to go..and dinner before as usual.
Hope to see you

 I had extensive lipo to my thighs during my LBL.  I am one that did not have pain from it.  I started using sublingual Arnica Montana the week prior to surgery and continued for weeks afterwards. I had very little bruising from it. Some doctors do not want you taking it.  My homeopathic MD recommends it for any surgery.

Thank you all for your replies. I'm home and healing. Arms done and flanks sucked out! Can't wait to see how the end results will look. Pain is controlable with drugs...I am taking them around the clock so it doesn't get out of control.
