Hi! I am still about 50 lbs. away from visiting Plastic-ville, however, how much time do they require you to take off. I am sure it is different depending on the procedure done. At this time I am thinking about a TT and breast lift. Any info. would be greatly appreciated!

:lol:

hi, i had an extended TT (with muscle repair) and mega Lipo to flanks, back and tummy.

i had my surgery on Friday 2/29 and will be returning to work 1/2 time this coming Monday 3/10. so Friday and a week off then 1/2 time the following week.

not sure how its going to work out, if i cant do 1/2 time, i'll take the rest of the week off. if the 1/2 time is fine, i'll do full days...

long reply to a basic question, sorry.

I am thinking 2 weeks plus 2 weeks telecommuting. Depends on whether or not you have a desk job. Either way I would say 2-4 weeks.

I visited "plastic-ville" before I got the band........I had Full Tummy Tuck and muscle/hernia repair. I have a physical type job. Up and down, stooping and walking and picking up heavy packages etc...so my Dr. first wanted me out for 3 weeks but when I did to much to fast my swelling got really bad and the drains had to stay in for an extra week so I was out a total of 4 weeks. Here are some pics

      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.
