I'm 3 weeks post op tummy tuck and breast reduction tomorrow. I still have a lot of pain. On Monday my PS changed the dressing to Pico. I have homecare nurses coming to change the dressing. It was changed today and I'm back to see my PS on Monday. There will be another dressing change on Saturday. He has ordered a change every 2 to 3 days. It looks open am is very painful still. I'm only at about 30% back to normal. Still resting a lot. I stopped pain meds on Monday because they don't seem to be helping.

Phentermine should be stopped before surgery. You should discuss any medications you are taking with your doctor prior to your surgery as sometimes instructions are different for each surgeon. Best wishes on your upcoming surgery.
Contact your surgeons office and find out what their specific requirements are. Everyone has different post operative instructions and their reason for them. Good luck. Dean Vistnes.
Thank you for your question about your mommy make-over.Please contact your surgeon's office to let them know about your swollen legs.The swelling may simply be that you have been sitting for too long with your legs down -Or it could be swelling from surgery, too much salty food, a medication...
