Only 2 Days Until My Tummy Tuck!!



Recommended Posts

So excited!!! I'm doing a Tummy Tuck with full muscle repair and a breast lift and augmentation.

My PS does the full muscle repair and then goes back in and sutures the muscles corset style. He said it gives a more defined waist line. He also uses the no drain technique and I'm getting a pain pump.

I've wanted this for so long now! I must admit though, I had to take a deep breath when I went to pay for it all last week.eek.gif I know it will be worth it though.

If I could be so crude to ask.....What is the cost of your procedure? Inquiring minds want to know! :)

So jealous! I think its finally hit me after six years that things aint getting any better, that last few lb is not going to make the difference, lol.

Very best of luck, hope its easy to recover from, and I'm sure you'll be thrilled with the results.

Thanks everyone! I live in a small town. It's only costing me $11,500 total. At the closest BIG city to me it's $10k for JUST a tummy tuck.o__O

I'll update as soon as I can.

Best wishes to you. Hope all goes smoothly (and flatly too - as in tummy flat!).

Let us know how you're doing afterwards.

Take care.

I made it! I got my TT and breast implants yesterday. I was given a lot of Phenergan so I've been really sleepy and that's been the worst of it so far. I got a pain pump for my belly and so far I haven't taken any pain meds at all. Hopefully I can keep that up.

Glad to hear it's going so well. No pain meds - WOW! I hate taking them because of nausea but I was on them for at least a week.

Look forward to seeing updates. Hope you continue to do so well.

Take care.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
