How long does the 'bruising' pain from lipo last?



Recommended Posts

I had Lipo on my waist, back and inner thighs on the 8th of July and am still feeling tender and bruised today which is 11 days later. I remember the nurse telling me I'd be back to normal in 10 days so should I be concerned that I'm still so bruised and battered with no signs of it ebbing??

My inner thighs are probably almost back to normal. Bruising has almost gone and nearly no pain, but my torso still kills if my boyfriend so much as tries to hug me...

When I had Lipo done on my inner thighs, I felt the brushing feeling for up to 2-3 weeks, even though the physical bruise was gone by the middle of week 2 . I was definitely more sore than I had anticipated. I am just about 2 months post procedure, and honestly, I'm back to all my normal things, however, on days that it is hot and humid, I am more swollen, so my legs tend to be a little sore.

Ahhh thank you, so I'm not abnormal! The bruising itself is fading but the pain is still present, and I wondered if that was normal. I am getting my lower inner thighs and knees done in a couple of weeks too and was hoping that at least my current areas would be back to normal before then. I did buy a compression suit in a smaller size today (because I've gone down a size now) and that actually seems to have helped heaps too.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
