I had a tummy tuck on Feb. 20th. My doctor told me I was a great candidate after having had three C-sections. I was not nervous at all leading up to the surgery day. This may have been attributed to the fact that I got a breat reduction last spring and recovered easily and quickly. I left the tummy tuck surgery with 4 drains. I still have one and look forward to getting it out.
Pros-i will have a flat stomach
Cons-at the age of 50, the tummy tuck takes more recovery time

Hey fellow tummy tuckers! This is Lori Mac giving an update on my progress! Mt TT was Feb 20 so it has two weeks and three days. I had four drains and i got the last drain out Thursday. I also got all stiches out. Yippee! I feel free and mobile! The incisions are healing and I moved from sleeping in the recliner to my comfy bed! I made a friend on RealSelf who had surgery the same day I did, is my age, and had also had 3 C-sections. She advised me to buy some Palmers Cocoa Gel to ease the tightness on my stomach. I will return to the doctor again in a week just for a check up. Love my friends at RealSelf!!!!

Still have one drain after the re-do surgery on April 2. I must say I would like to know how the TT's WITHOUT drains work! The drains are the worst part of this procedure! Today is April 12th and I am ready to move on from TT land! Been dealing with surgeries and drains since Feb. 20th!
