Hi Kiki, I'm not sure if I'm completely heal or not. For me it is healed but whenever I compressed it, I get swollen feet. That's all.

I haven't start exercise but I'm planning to start this week. I can run (not very fast) and jump now and I'm 2 and half months post op. I have pretty normal life after 3 weeks. My recovery is fast and the only troublesome thing is compression and scars. I stop stretching since week 7 but whenever I remember I will do it for 1 min. Very rare tho.

So good to hear you are recovering so fast, that makes me feel better about getting the surgery

How's the exercising going now?

Exercise is alright. I didn't have problems. When are you planning to do it?

Probably fall 2016... it's expensive and I plan on staying for 3 weeks. Hoping to find a couple travel buddies on the forums here!

For the people who have had this done, what excuses did you use at work? I considered telling people I got knee surgery if they asked.

Just say you are going on holidays. If you are still limping, just say you hurt your legs. 😄

Anyone heard of the Non-Invasive Calf Reduction (NICR)? I am going for consultation and hopefully to get it done in 2 weeks time. I hope it is effective. Will update.

Stay strong and know this is just temporary !

When you get a chance, let us know of your experience (it will probably keep your mind off things) but make sure you take care of yourself first

Congrats Kiki. Now only have to concentrate on recovery. I only started stretches 8 hours after and I did it slowly alone. It is important that you try your very best to do stretches every half hour for 2 weeks. It is hard but worth it. Good luck.
