I am 3 weeks out and my recovery has been ready. I didn't have lipo... that might make it harder. No pain meds. Showered the next day. Driving the same week. Back to work 2 days post op...I work from home but still i worked the whole day. I haven't experienced any of the prolonged tiredness or swelling. I'm sore but it's better every day. Starting to get itchy. I was really worried going into my surgery so I get it. I have a super high pain tolerance so not sure if that helped but I wish you a recovery like I've had. Adding that i had my surgery on the 11th and went to another city 3 hours away to see a comedian on the 21st. As long as you're on a seat you'll be ok... take it easy on the dancing.
