I have a question is it possible to recover without having anyone at your home to take care of you after you leave from your surgery?

Well the date is getting closer for my surgery and I thought I would be more nervous the closer the date got but I am actually feeling more at ease then at first. I go for my appointment at my doctor for clearance on March 7 and my Pre-op appointment is March 21, 2011. I know it will be here before I know it..I just can't wait to get rid of this Jelly Belly.

We have the same surgery date. Good luck to you and wishing you a speedy recovery. My doctor said I can do light cardio after two weeks, and regular workouts after eight weeks (weight training.) Should be interesting to see how I deal with two weeks of no exercise, since I work out everyday.

How has the last three weeks been for you? My doctor is in Scottsdale and he is doing the no drain tummy tuck

The first week was bad- my husband did everything for me. Once the drains came out on day 10 and I was able to shower, I felt better. Now I am waiting for the ok to drive and workout.

Hi there! First, congratulations to you on your weight loss. 100 pounds! WOW...that is an amazing accomplishment!
I understand your fear, I felt the same way before my TT w/lipo. My procedure was done on 1/12 so I guess I'm 9 days post op. It wasn't nearly as bad as I had imagined. For me, the pain never peaked higher than a 5 and pain pills plus the pain pump I had knocked it down to almost nothing. No shooting pain, just lots of aching, especially sore where the lipo was done. Like Kimmers said, we are all different but remember that we all got through it! :)
I have before pictures up (EMBARRASSING and EWWWW!) and posted after pictures today so those should be up tomorrow if you are interested, take a look! We are the same height although I'm heavier than you. Maybe they'll help give you some idea of how awesome you'll look when you are done! I'm thrilled with the results even though I am still very swollen!! It is SO worth it! Good luck to you and stay positive! You'll do great!
