Tummy tuck

[jerry xenos 0]

I just had my Tummy Tuck in NYC on Tuesday the 10th and I am in pain but doing so well. I am happy I did it and loved my dr and my team.

To be totally honest it was like a 4 1/2 right after surgery. I was never in immense pain. Just make sure u take the pain relief script. I was walking up right within the first week

Good luck on your TT - keep me updated on how u are doing

congrats on the tummy tuck! Some have said they came home with a pain pump did u? I have also heard some come home with two drains did u? Did they provide u with the binder or did u purchase that on your own before hand? did they do liposuction with yours I wasn't sure if that is included in a tummt tuck?Did u stay overnight or was it outpatent? Sorry so many questions just curous. you said u was walking after first week how far? How long r u gonna be off work? How long till u could lift weight if u wanted? Is it 6 or 8 weeks? Did u have your band empty or leave it full? If so did u have any problems with that?

When is your date? I know mine is next month but will get the exact date today when I go in. Are u getting Lipo done with the Tummy Tuck? Are they tightening your muscles at the same time? If u don't mind me asking how much was your starting weight and what do u weigh now? R u coming home with pain pump? How many drains will u have and were will they be located? Is your outpateint? I am getting very excited but very nervous already Good luck with your tummy tuck.

My ps surgeon wants me to have the lapband surgeon move my port up by my ribs and shorten tubing before he does surgery has anyone herd of doing this?

My port was moved from right above my belly button to the left side of it during my TT. It didn't create any problems or complications

Just to chime in,

I think everyone is different postop just like all other surgeries.

For me I didnt get a pain pump my first tt, had a drain for 2 days, was back at work day 4 post op (i'm a teacher), got a binding at the hos but switched to another kind when I left, Lipo on my stomach by my request, stayed one night, gyming after 2 weeks I think, didnt unfill my band, had my port moved, and so on

I had the incision extended 2ce because I didnt like the results and I am happy with it now. A Tummy Tuck is so much less pain then the band surgery and breast augmentation. That's if your muscles arent touched

My muscles were plicated (shortened/tightened) during my TT
