Full Tummy Tuck with Lipo on Flanks - Encino, CA

Good luck! Its been my best decision ever. I had a full tt with lipo to the flanks 11 months age. My recovery was not as quick as i had first thought but, i would do it all over again if i needed to. You will love it.

Congrats! I too was nervous about the procedure but i had been wanting to have it done so when i finally scheduled my tt i was more excited than nervous. The first two days were definately the hardest. As long as you have someone to help you, all will be fine. The pain pump was amazing, i found that i didnt need narcitics after the second day. My main problem was the back pain from not being able to walk straight and not being able to stretch. The results are definately worth it though. I would do it all over again if i had to. My only regret is, waiting so long to have it done. Good luck and keep us posted.

Hi Bobbi and NewMePls. It sounds like you both are doing great and on track. As for the BM, i bought "dieters tea" from walmart and i had a cup before bed time just about everynight. I didnt steep it for more than two minutes but i never had a problem going. My bowel movements were normal. I didnt need any thing else. The tea is all natural and is not harsh on the system. Walmart has it in two flavors, green tea and cinnamon. I use a little splenda to sweeten it and its actually very tasty. Hope this helps. Happy healing! :)

I do, i couldnt believe that I was done. I was a little groggy but excited. I remember being wheeled into the surgical room and talkimg to the anestegiolofist. Then i woke up. I felt sore, like i had spend an hour doing crunches. Thain wasnt bad at all. The biggest pain was carrying around the pain pump and drains around. Just make sure you have your pain and anti nausea medication before your surgery. And of course someone who is willing to take care of you. I only needed the anti nausea meds once. I really wish i would have found this blog before i had my surgery. Its amazing! Its given me so much information, its answered so many of my questions which saves my ps's office needless Phone calls, lol.

Hi Bobbie, Im so excited for you. Its normal to be nervous but think about how you will look after the surgery. Keep positive! I thought i would be nervous the day of. As it turned out i was more nervous about being late, lol. I am currently eight weeks post op and i still experiencing swelling. I dont feel 100% yet but i see a flatter belly and a waist now :). So happy i did it.
