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...

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.

Great review?

Well I went to my PS on Monday which was a week post opt....got both drains out and almost all my stitches except a few around my belly button. I have the binder on now and so far I pretty much loath the thing.. It is hot and itchy and just all around uncomfortable. But such is life lol. I am doing really good a little pain and soreness but it get better every day.

Hey starry, glad to know that you are doing good! Did you have any problems with the anesthesia, such as itching or anyhing like that?

Glad to hear you're doing well. I'm taking mostly tylenol now with the occassional percocet as needed. Still have one drain in as it's output increased. Otherwise all is well, finding it hard not to overdo it though. My house is filthy and its driving me crazy! I hear you about the binder, everytime I move a certain way it pulls on my drain and hubby has to scrape me off the ceiling!

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. :)
