I am a proud mother of 4 beautiful children 18,15,14,&12. I had my first child when I was really young and tiny! N my goodness did he do a number on my tummy n well after having three more, it's just about time to get rid of the sagging skin n most of my stretch marks. I went to schedule my tummy tuck w/ MR and lipo of the flanks and I am way excited! My surgery is scheduled for the 27 th of March 2012 n well I am so ready!

Congrats! I'm officially 7 days post op from a breast aug, full tt and lipo. Best decision I've made! Get a recliner for recovery is my first piece of advice. One that easily leans back and closes. I had to get a brand new one the day after my surgery because it took two people to lift it up and down! The worst part of all this is the waiting....we're here for you!

Thanks! The recliner we have actually is really easy to shift positions, already tested! I am anxious to have this done but not so much for all the upcoming pain, but hey it will be worth it.

After reading so many reviews on here, I was wondering if I can get some advice on what to do or take to help the swelling after the tummy tuck, I am asking because this is my main concern, I can handle pain, I have a high tolerance for it so the main concern is trying to keep the swelling under control. Is there foods I can eat to help the swelling? Also, what are your recommendations for my pre op shopping list of supplies needed?

Wow busy mom of 4. I am sure you have your work cut out for you. As for the swelling, I am taking a homeopathic remedy called bromelain. You can find it at Vitamin Shoppe or GNC. Pineapple juice is good as well
