Posted to Recovery from Tummy Tuck with Toddler- Advice???? on 29 Mar 2013

I was on them for four weeks. When I stopped taking, I felt better. I tapered off slowly using Tylenol. Took Tylenol for the next two weeks. Starting driving short distances at four weeks. My gut could feel every bump in the road so I stayed outta the car as much as possible. But, it was all worth it. I can't even explain how wonderful it is to jot have hanging skin.

Took me five weeks to stand up straight. Take the meds so you can sleep. Sleep in a recliner.

You know how people say it takes six weeks to recover from a hysterectomy? Well, consider the same. I couldn't stand up straight for five weeks. The more stress you put on the incision the wider it will heal. Also, you won't be able to drive or care for anyone when you are on the good pain pills. And, you can't have a kid crawling on you either. I slept most of the first week with Valium and Percocet!

Hey Lori Mac, I moved to WLR six months ago! It's a wide binder that I wore home from surgery. I feel good sleeping in it. I can lay on my side with it on.
