Bartender/Waitress & TT?



Recommended Posts

Guest JSIL

Hi, just wondering if anyone is in either the bartender/waitress industry and had a Tummy Tuck? How long did it take you to feel good enough to go back to work?

I'm neither, but any good PS' office will give you the details - I think it's about the same for anyone who works. My daughter had a TT and it was horribly painful - she cursed the day she did it, UNTIL she was better and it has been years now and she still looks fantastic. She was not heavy, she just had 4 babies!

I had liposuction only - don't understand why Doc did it since I was heavy, but for me that was so painful, I am too chicken to think about a TT just yet, if ever.

Best, Helen

JSIL good luck with that. I wish you all the best. I was a cocktail waitress...loved it, worked a grand club and made obscene money. That was then, this is now. I'm starting to mentally prep myself for the multiple procedures I will have done. I'm not at goal, still probably a year out the gate from any surgeries but I'm seeing my stomach and breasts and arms and KNOW that I exercise alone ain't gonna do the job.

I am 3 weeks post op and very tired still. I would think if you are on your feet and need to stand upright that it would take at least 4-6 weeks to get back into the swing of things. Also, keep in mind that you may have drain in too. I had one drain out 2 days post op and the other one almost 3 weeks. The Tummy Tuck isn't sore or anything like that, its just tiring.

JSIL, I am a N-ICU nurse and was off work for 4 weeks when I had had mine done, I should have taken off 6 weeks but ran out of time. The worst part of the post of period was being so tired!! The longer you can take off the better.

Sorry to hear about the cancellation...but I don't think you want a sick PS operating on you. I say that now but I would be freaked out if mine calls in sick!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
