Glad its getting better i am supposed to have a panni on. 7/21 but thinking it may be better to wait until summer is over. I see the pain ypu are in and that will prob ruin my summer fun. Anyway, seems like each day is better for you. Hope you feel better soon.

Each day gets better and better I no longer need my percocet only at night!!! It really isn't that bad after the first few days! Also everyone is different and everyone has different pain tolerances. Don't give up on your dresms

Best of luck! Can't wait to hear about it!

Does insurance cover this? Just checking for when I reach my goal and need this surgery, too!

No, I didn't meet the criteria to have my TT be funded by my insurance ; ( For everything I had done, TT, BL/BA and arm lift it cost $18,220.00.i chose a highly skilled plastic surgeon who specializes in weight loss reconstruction plastic surgery

Day 5: just when I thought it was getting better it is very painful in my abs today!. I keep feeling stinging pain in different areas of my stomach and in my arms, I hope this is normal!!!every time I get up and walk I can only make it 2x around my house then the pain in my back and abs becomes too much and I have to stop. My breasts don't hurt at all, they just feel heavy and swollen... If any one has any tips to share, i am definitely listening; ) everyone who just had surgery or who is about to good luck!!!

Normal even after a year according to three friends who complain about it. Good luck! Looking at them, I'd say it was worth it!

I'm on day 6 and day 5 for me was awful. I couldn't get comfortable and had the same stinging you describe. I assumed it was my local wearing off and things starting to wake up. I'm just hoping that I will feel like a human being on Monday. I have no energy. I have no pain though just discomfort so I can't complain. Better luck to you tomorrow. Btw I had a breast lift and tt.

You are one brave woman to do all those together. If I didn't have my arms I'm not sure what I would do. I'm actually starting to go stir crazy so sitting outside. Feeling much better with the fresh air. Hopefully each day is one step closer to perfection. Enjoy the day.

LilBoo- how r u feeling? I hope you are feeling better and seeing improvement each day. I went for a follow up today thinking I would get all 4 drains out only to come home with them all still in. Very disappointing. I'm having a hard time seeing the light at the end if the tunnel. I'm not in pain just uncomfortable. I used to be a stomach sleeper so this is quite the adjustment and I'm struggling to sleep. I just want to fast forward about 5 weeks. Oh well, guess I'll just suck it up. Even my kids are like mommy I wish I could sit on your lap :(. Hoping to get these drains out on Thursday. Prayers!!

I don't understand how so many people are getting a Tummy Tuck paid for.My experience all the surgeon i've been to( they even took my insurance) says insurance never pays for it I have been to around 7 plastic surgeons in the New York New Jersey area. All of them top-notch except for one .

      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.
