Hi Longhorn, I had ZERO problems with the procedure or the recovery. I went in to DR S at 6:30 am. Dr S and his nurse & anesthesiologist all came in to talk with me. They gave me the IV in my arm and next thing I remember is waking up & having some crackers and juice. I never felt like I couldn't breathe or get enough air. I was still kind-of groggy when I woke up, but I stood up and was moved to a chair where the nurse helped me get dressed. About 30 minutes later I was heading home. It was ALOT less scary than I had imagined in my head. GOOD LUCK. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.
Kristi1966, I had my TT in Dec, almost 7 weeks ago. I was PETRIFIED of the drain tubes! I actually didn't do the TT surgery for 2 years because I scared myself silly watching tummy tuck videos on youtube & thought the drains looked horribly painful. The truth is, it's not NEARLY as bad as it looks. I couldn't believe it. The drain tubes didn't cause me any pain. The are annoying as he** but they don't hurt =)Mine didn't even hurt when they were removed. I'm not sure if everyone feels this way, but I did.
HI MRS TREE!!!!!!! You made it!! Awesome! I am so happy for you. I heard some patients get nausea from the meds, but that didn't happen to me. Sorry, I should've warned you about that. What a BIG difference in your tummy already!! I got some bruising too. It will fade in a a week or so. I'm glad you are doing well!! Keep us posted! I'm so excited for you =)
