TT in 5 Days

It's normal to be scared. I was super nervous before mine! I recommend sleeping in a recliner after surgery. It makes a world of difference in comfort and getting up to go to the bathroom. Make sure you rest as much as you can during your 6 weeks of healing. Don't be to critical of your results during the healing phase either. Your body will constantly be changing. I'm 3 months out and I am still seeing changes and better results.Don't be in a hurry to get back into jeans either. I couldn't wear them until 4 weeks post op from the swelling. Eat super healthy after surgery to cut down on as much swelling as you can. Fresh pinneapple really helps. Good luck!

This procedure is so worth it! You will be very happy in the end. It is the best thing I have ever done. Totally normal to be nervous prior to a surgery. My advice is to rest as much as you can, take your pain meds as prescribed (and stay on top of them), don't expect your body to be healed and normal for several weeks, eat healthy foods, drink plenty of water and watch your sodium intake. If you can rent a hospital bed for the first two weeks after surgery please do. This was a life saver for me. Also remember to take MOM starting the day after surgery. Trust me on this one! It hurts when you can't go.. Stay positive and keep your eye on the end result. I am now 14 weeks post op and feeling really good but do have some swelling in the afternoons. Doc says it is normal though.

It is normal to be nervous, but you will be so glad you did it. I am 8 weeks out from my tummy tuck and scar revision and I still have some soreness, not unbearable tho. Make sure you have something for nausea when you get home, that is the best advise I can give. That was my savior on my second post op day. And make sure you rest and take care of yourself, there were days when I thought I was feeling really good, and would over do it, then later be so exhausted. So plan on taking it easy post op. Best wishes and post your pics....love the before and afters!

I just had my TT on the 13th of July, just some advice ask PS for the drug Emend kind of expensive but it last for like 3 or 4 days for the nausea, I always would vomit after surgery but after taking that pill morning of surgery I did not even get nauseated and believe me that is the last thing you want to do with the sore abdominal muscles. Like the other comments make sure to take your pain meds around the clock regardless if you dont feel like you need them you do not want to suffer break through pain which is harder to get back under control, one more thing get a taser gun just incase your hubby makes you mad cause it hurts to yell just tase him ok I am totally kidding!!

My surgery is scheduled for Thursday. I am VERY nervous.

congrats! i cants wait to see before and afters if you are willing to post them. im still in the transition of losing more of the babyweight before i get a TT done so i get maximal results. who was your PS, if you dont mind me asking.
