Hi Yassie. Congratulations on your upcoming transformation. It is worth the pain!!! I had a TT, muscle repair and BR on 3/23. It was less painful than my csect but the recovery is longer. You just have to be patient. Im in south fl too. Good luck!!

Thank You! The muscle repair is what scares me the most! I had a tubal last year and honestly I have never felt that kind of pain before! (me & pain meds don't work well) I hope this isn't like that! I am also having a mini bbl but still confused as if I should do that at the same time.

I don't think you should only because the tt you have to sit on your butt. With the BBl it's best to be on your stomach. I seperated mine and yes it's going down twice but I would hate to spend all that money and it go to waist!

Hi there. I don't think my recovery has Bren anywhere near as painful as I thought it would be. Uncomfortable and achy yes but not painful as such. What is a BBL?

BBL = Brazilian Butt Lift I had a TT/lipo of flanks with herniated belly button repair Jan 7th and let me tell you... the first 3 days are really tough! By day 4 my back hurt so much from being hunched and I sleep on a pillow system which keeps my body upright. Honestly, I can't imagine having a BBL at the same time. I hope all goes well, good luck!

Good luck babe. Make sure you have a good workout regime with strength training before surgery. It will definitely help with your recovery.

Yes, Buy gauze, surgical tape and neosporin..all available at Walmart. After your surgery make sure to take the anti nasua suppostory befor eyou start taking the percocets because YOU DOI NOT WANT TO THROW UP, LAIGH OR CAUGH! Start taking in deep breath after you take your pain meds to slowly worth your stomach. If you do need to caugh which I did and it was hell! Have someone hold a pillow tightly accross your stomach then take a deep breath and caugh! Drink water don't advise the gatorade because of the sodium..force yourself to eat. I bought High protien ensure shakes that I drank before my meds just so I had something in my tummy. Make a spread sheet now for your drain CC's. I would do days across the top and hours along the right side. I was told it was provided but it's not. It's much easier to log this way and you can give the doc a clear descrition of whats coming out. Hope some of this helped. Oh and a cheap shower curtain because you will drip out of your drain the 1st two days, had me scared but it was normal. Good Luck girlie!
