I Just Had Got a Tummy Tuck Yesterday, I'm Very Sore but Today I'm Starving. What Can I Eat? What should I eat and being that I got a tummy tuck can I eat whatever I want???

A: Eating after tummy tuck surgery Eat and drink conservatively to avoid nausea from the anesthesia. Start with clear liquids, such as soup, or bread. Stay away from dairy products, greasy or fried foods, etc. for a few days. Just basic common sense. Also, eat moderately before taking the pain medication so it won't nauseate you.

Is It Safe to Have Full Tummy Tuck Combined with Lipo of the Full Back Within a Week of Each Other? Part 2 thank you all for resp. to previous question. iam 35yo 5 8 246 lbs my weight has been stable for 10 yrs.tho the ps sug i lose at least 20 lbs. i carry most of my weight in my stomach sorry i donot have any pics...the nyc ps suggested i split the 2 for safety reasons stating the amount of fat/tissue that has to be removed for the tt it wouldn't be safe to proceed w a full back lipo the same day and that i can put a week bet the 2 procedures.iam comfortable w having the 2 procedures but not the time frame. any suggest

A: Two procedures one week apart Putting aside the issue of whether you are a candidate for either surgery, most board certified anesthesiologists will not participate in cosmetic procedures one week apart. The minimum time between procedures, to avoid anesthesia complications, is 4 weeks and, when a tummy tuck is involved, I would prefer a 6 week interval.

I Am Having a Tummy Tuck & BA & Lift and I Drive Haulpack is 3wks Enough Time off Work? (photo) I am a 40 y/o/f having a Tummy Tuck and a BA and lift - I am hoping to go from a sagging C cup to a BOLD D or DD - I am unsure. Do you feel a TT will be benificial for me. I drive those big ole Haulpack trucks. I can book for 3 weeks time off is this enough. I dont plan on losing anymore weight just the apron Also, where can I buy the tummy compression bandages and special bras, as I will be on my own and really want to have these things prior to my travelling (I live way up north!) Thank you

A: Time off from work after tummy tuck/augment/pexy

I personally do not think that anyone can guarantee that, after 3 weeks, you will be ready to return to work, particularly driving a vehicle for what I assume would be long distances. I would suggest that you plan for a minimum of four weeks off although six would be better. You should clarify the amount of time off that you need with your employer prior to surgery so that there are no misunderstandings afterwards.

	“Countdown to TT (Tummy Tuck) on Sept...” I have thought about a tt for years. I'm 57 and have had a flabby tummy for 30 years. I seriously considered doing it about 8 years ago, but didn't loose all the weight I wanted to. Now, I'm down to 140 from 185, and I'm going to do it. Have my doc, have the appt, and have paid - now I'm reading how painful it is and am a little nervous/scared! more
	“Flatter Tummy but Tons of New...” So I had thought I had found the greatest doctor. I felt extremely comfortable with him. I had my surgery. Everything went great. Had my 2 week post op appt still doing great. Then he tells me he is leaving the practice and moving to a different state. I felt ok with this.... Until week 4 came. I was soooo swollen and discovered I had a TON of new stretch marks. I followed up with another... more
	“In my 30s, Gave Birth to Twins &...” I had a tummy tuck 8 years after having twins and 5 years after losing 50+ pounds. No amount of exercise seemed to make a difference in the loose skin and abdominal fat.I am 7 weeks post op and still have fluid that builds up though it seems to be decreasing weekly. At last drainage, it was under 10 cc's for a week. I had my surgical drains in for 5 weeks. I have done nothing strenuous and... more
	“Tummy Tuck Joy” I had my TT on March 9, 2009 and I honestly have to admit, it is the best thing I’ve done for myself. I am a 33 year old mother of two children 16 and 10 and motherhood has left me with many stretch marks and extremely loose skin around my abdomen. I hated the way my clothing fit and I was very self-conscious. Due to the fact I have a high pain tolerance I have to say on a scale 1 to 10... more
