WORTH IT$8,500

My tt and full back lipo is on July 24th. 2014 with Dr Jeffrey Lagrasso. I'm anxious, nervous, and scared. I've did a breast reduction 19 years ago. I didn't feel nervous or scared I didn't even take any pain medications. But I have a feeling that I'm going to need them for this procedure. Has anyone one done these 2 procedures and what can I expect? I'm a petit per on 4 ft 11.5 inches tall 130 lbs I spin 4 times a week .

Hi anni I'm 1 week post op from a tt with lipo and muscle repair. You're worrying too much, take arnica now and after surgery, I've got arnica cream for bruises too which has helped. Bruising subsiding now. Look at my profile for tips. I'm only taking a mild pain killer at bed time now. Just stay on top of your meds for the first few days as that will help. You will be constipated! (Sorry) have something at hand for this. Lots of pillows and help with getting from lying to standing too. It's not as bad as you think more just uncomfortable/ soreness like bruises are. Good luck, message me if you have any questions x :)

I have!! I had my reduction done a year and half ago and then lost 30 lbs and had my TT/Muscle Repair done just before Christmas. I am so much better for having it done. Having the TT done is definitely different in the recovery process versus the BR. You will want someone to help you up and down for the first week. It gets easier each day. I agree with Bubbah and using Arnica cream for the bruising. I also found using a heating pad helped with the back aches from being hunched over. Good luck to you!!

So I really don't have loose skin but a little bulge. I wonder if it's the hernia, but Dr knows best.

Thanks for your encouragement. My biggest worry is the scar and hoping it heals quickly. My heart is beating so fast tomorrow is the big day!

Good luck hun!!! I haven't even looked at my incision yet I'm so scared I'll hate it. My biggest concern that the scar is even and not all jagged. R u staying overnight or is it same day? Yesterday all I did was sleep probably because of anesthesia. But last night I barely slept n today I have a lot of burning sensation. I hate taking medication but morphine is now my friend lol

little ani

Same day. You're in pain or is it just the burning sensation? So I can probably expect pain on day 2?

I'm definitely getting pain on day 2. From what I read n heard it's 3/4 days of pain but then it gets better. My surgery started at 10:30. I woke up at 2:30. N slept most of the day. Nurse got me out of bed at 4am to walk around. By 6:30am the removed the catheter, n I was walking alone to the bathroom. I'm very hunched over though. Dr said my muscles were super separated n stitched them back together.

Oh boy and I just got confirmation from the Doctor's office that my surgery has been moved up 10 am to 7am! Feeling really nervous now.

Don't be! Think about what a great outcome you will have. Be positive. Don't stress too much. Your vitals (especially blood pressure) need to be perfect or if not they won't operate . You will be in recovery by 10am ;) Thanks for all ur updates. Fingers are crossed, n sending prayers ur way.

Thank you so much. Will update tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

I was so nervous I wasn't sure I was going to go through with it! Crazy, soo glad I did. I suffer with major sickness after surgery, speak to your Anethetist about it, mine have me a special cocktail of drugs and it worked great, only felt queezy and was never actually sick. You can do it, stay positive and think flat! Good luck will be thinking about you x
