I had my procedure on Friday, 16 September 2011. Dr. Patel was a great doctor. He answered all of our questions and took my anxiety into account before and during the procedure. I had some discomfort during the procedure, and Dr. Patel listened and took care of it. I had oozing on Friday night into Saturday, and some of Saturday. All the oozing cleared up by Sunday afternoon. I can already see a huge difference in my body structure. I took the pain meds on Friday and Saturday, but did not need them after Saturday evening. I went back to work on Tuesday, 20 September. I am now 1 and 1/2 weeks post-procedure and I am once again doing my workout on the treadmill. I will start doing some sit-ups by the end of this week, body willing. I have already lost 10 lbs. I still have SEVERAL lbs to go, but Dr. Patel has given me a ""jump-start"" on things. There were some poise pads in the take-home bag, but nothing like gauze pads to help with the oozing.
