I haven't had my tummy tuck yet it will be on Sept 26 and I am very excited to get this done and start a new chapter in my life. I live in Sparta, Il but I am having the procedure done in Owensboro, KY

Well it's 11 day's before my procedure. I think i have everything I need...all scripts filled...everything else bought that I'm going to need. Now just wait for the day to get here. Still not really to nervous about the procedure itself but still very uneasy about the pain afterwards. I have been reading other people's post and things and seems like the worst part is like 36 hours after....so if i can make that I should be good.

So 1 week from today I will be laying on that table getting rid this gross looking stomach of mine and man o man I can't wait. This will turn out to be the longest week ever I'm sure. But the wait will be well worth it.

Hi, I am also scheduled for a tummy tuck on Sept. 26th. What time is your surgery?
starry_eyed_butterfly78 7 Sep 2011
I have to be there at 7:00am. What about you?
nhjane 7 Sep 2011
9:45am My surgeon is about an hour away from I live so I will be spending the first night in a hotel close to the hospital (just in case.) Then I have an appointment on Tuesday morning so my PS can check everything is going well. After that my hubby will drive me home. I'm soooo excited. when is your pre-op appointment? Mine isn't until the 13th.

11 days oh wow you are almost there.... Yes I have been following same ladies feel swelling that is what is bad! Either way I am willing to endure!
starry_eyed_butterfly78 15 Sep 2011
I'm with you willing to endure also :0)

Hey Starry,
11 days to go and I'm not nearly as organized as you. I had my pre-op yesterday and have still to receive my info packet, scripts and pre-surgery phone-call. Is your Dr. providing a compression garment?
starry_eyed_butterfly78 15 Sep 2011
No he is not i had to order it...they gave me a website to order it from though and with shipping it was only like $35.00
nhjane 16 Sep 2011
They gave me a web address too but mine were $80 each! I ordered 2 as my PS likes you to wear a garment 24 X 7 for at least six weeks! However, this is an adjustable binder so can be used for stage 1 and 2. Ten days and counting till our big day girfriend!!

yay starry I get excited when its anothe ladies time it is sweet victory!

Hello, this is my first time on this site, I was just browsing looking for tips regarding TT...I'm going to have mine in December...but my PS told me that I will be receiving 2 compression garments which is included in the price. Can't wait, the anticipation is killing me! But I know the wait will be well worth it. :)
nhjane 18 Sep 2011
Stephanie, the time really crawls by when you're waiting doesn't it? This last couple of weeks have been the most excruciating for me!
