Wheelchair bound had smartlipo
Smart Lipo: Was worth it
Cost: $4,500
Pain: Mild
Satisfaction: Very good
I have been in a wheelchair for 19 yrs.I was never a candidate for liposuction until smartlipo came along.I had it done last friday so not a week yet.Since my stomach muscles are not inervated anymore,my intestines do not stay put and pouch out immediately upon rising.No matter what I did I could not get rid of the fat that built up over the years.I had very lttle pain,only at the wound sites.
They will take a while to heal since my circulation is poor.I had pain where there was more digging at an old surgery site with scar tissues,but that didn’t last either. Not too much bruising,less than I thought there would be.I needed no meds at all. One liter of glorious fat and fluid was sucked out.I saw 6inches across widest and 3 through navel after the first day.My doc was surprised.to see that much so soon.The next day I felt more swollen.I will not measure again for a few weeks .Seriously you cannot complain about the binders if you can walk! When you sit all the time and exert yourself to roll around the binder rises up under your bust very quickly.
Today since I have to go out I had my hubby stuff me into a long leg girdle style panty that I cut the crotch out of.I cannot pull up undies myself so this will stay on till he comes home.Then back to the binders all night.You need to drink water since more fat with be flushed out with your urine.I do not have expectations for my old flat bellly ( still had at 34 and 4 pregnancies)because my innards will always poke out ,but I feel after the 3 months I will have even better results.I will then do a touch up.
My procedure took 3 hours and was a much larger area than normal.Sort of an experiment for all of us.I try to eat only a palm full of food per sitting and more often ,to keep the intestines shrunk up.All in all,I am confident that I will be happy with the results.The proof was seeing the container of fat,that is definitely gone and it’s my job to keep it off.Anyone else in achair who had this done I would love to hear your results.
