Asked By:buffyduck in Jonesboro, AR

What are the best way's to sit and watch TV and what about laying down to sleep. I have never had any kind of surgery in my life and I really don't know what to do and I'm starting to freak out with only 14 days to my tummy tuck but I have lost 104 lbs and really need to fix all this.
