Thanks classy tt how bad was the pain?

Honestly, it wasn't near as bad as I thought it was going to be. The pain is moderate at first and controlled by pain meds. It was worth it all & I would do it again! Research and read on it if you're not sure. You need to be mentally prepared for it. (by that I mean "sure & positive") Good luck to you!

I was worried I wouldn't get the results I hoped for, but I am more then happy with it so far. In fact if it didn't get better then it is now, I would still be happy. I am 10 days post op. When is your surgery?

The one thing I can tell you is I completely underestimated my results... I am blown away by my surgeons skill! In fact one of my first questions to my surgeon was "will I look significantly different" he kinda laughed, and with a knowing twinkle said "you are going to love me" boy he was right! I invite you to go look at my pictures to see what I mean!

At first I was a little afraid to have this procedure done and now that I am not I might have to postpone it three months because of my job. This is real frustrating. I'm trying to decide what to do my plane tickets and hotel is already paid for.

Good luck, Mimi! Don't be nervous about the pain, -it varies so much from person to person. I did not have any pain pump. The first couple of days I was quite dazed and could not do much, but my main thing was how to sleep well in the best position. Today (13 days po) was my first night without waking up to reposition or to scratch (!). I was lucky, -I did not use any of my painkillers given by the doc, but took only 4 Paracets over the first 3 days. Mostly to sleep a bit easier. But if you feel pain you should take the painkillers, this is no time to be a hero, you shold feel as comfortable as you can while healing. Unfortunately, I think I would never have been able to go back to work after only one week. Or I might, but then I really had to move slowly. Bring a back pillow for your chair :-) Good luck, and happy healing!

I took 2 weeks off, but wished for 3. In a perfect world, I would have had 4. It really DOES depend on what you do for work. I didn't have any pain, and I didn't have a pain pump, but I know that's not typical at all. Most people have plenty of pain but stick with the pain meds you get from the doc :) Good luck tomorrow!

Yay on being able to go through with it! You will get through this without a glitch. I'm so excited for you! I'll be looking for your updates. Best of luck to you tomorrow. I had a hard time sleeping the night before. What helped me was picturing what I would look like with a flat tummy and all the clothing options this would open up! :)
