On the flat tummy side!

Good to see you are doing well. Our surgeries were on the same day. I am doing well too. I have one drain left and expect it to come out tomorrow. Take care!

I am 1.5 weeks out and am still pretty swollen. I still have one drain in that I expect to come out at the PS office tomorrow. My tummy pooch is gone but am still tight and swollen. It is better than before surgery but can't totally see the results yet. Still can't stand up straight. :-(

Congratulations. Welcome to the other side! Take it easy and focus on recovering.

Congratulations on your weight loss! My surgery was on 3/19. I had a TT, BA, and Flank Lipo. Definitely ask your PS again about the Lipo. The way I look at it sucking out any amount of fat is helpful.

2weeks off work? Good luck. Are you working in an office or on a nursing unit? If you are working in an office and sitting talking to families on the phone you should be fine. If you are on your feet, lifting patients, etc you may need some extra time off. I took 3 weeks off. I have a combination of sitting, standing, and walking. I could probably go back now but I want that extra week to continue to heal before going back. Good luck with you upcoming surgery!

Good luck! My MMO was 3/19. You will do great!
