Hi Angie, I am looking for a shopping list to prepare for my MM surgery. I thought I saw one somewhere but now I can't find it. Any ideas?

Oh my! Why weren't you able to take pain meds? You're a brave woman. I'm so glad you're standing up straight. That'll be easier on your back. Keep us posted!

Today I had my post op one week visit
Dr decided to leave drains in for one more week

so far I am happy overall with what I am seeing I have very minimal pain and I am able to walk around but they insist I need to rest.

I think finding this site made it so much better for me.

Thank u all

two weeks PP drains are out I am feeling much better tried walking and doing a little more activity now but I did feel a bit of pain in my ab area have to take it slow

so far I am happy with my results I still have swellin and I know I have to wait to go back to the gym I am just anxious I am always on the go and being down this long is too much for me.

I hope I get the ok at my next visit

I am in the beginning stages of getting a tummy tuck. Just made the decision. I was wondering why some of the scars are so much higher. I have had 3 c sections and want the scar to be that low. I live around temecula, ca if anyone knows a good doctor to refer as I start the interview process.
Angiemcc (Community Manager) 18 Nov 2011

Jolee--Will you be getting breast work as well, or just a tummy tuck? If you're getting just the tummy tuck (seems to silly to say JUST since it's such a big deal) you should check out RealSelf's wonderful Tummy Tuck community--so full of supportive ladies.

You might even want to start your own story in the TT review community (even before surgery). That way you can update as you go.

So glad you found RealSelf!

Jolee 19 Nov 2011
Thank you I am glad I found real self. There is alot of useful info and pics. I will be doing a tummy tuck only.
