After a tummy tuck would a wedge pillow set for upper and lower back work for my bed after surgery? I could use a recliner during the day and the wedges at night. If so which would you recommend? Im having a regular tummy tuck. Also would you recommend a walker and taking Arnica? Do they give you pain pills for pain? Would protein drinks be good after?
I have had two c-sections and am about to have a tummy tuck to fix the various issues caused by pregnancy. My Obgyn's NP for my second pregnancy, recommended arnica post-op for my second c- section and by day 6 post-op I was pretty much back to normal and off all traditional pain medication. The recovery seemed much easier and faster compared to my first c-section. As a PS, have you ever recommended arnica to your TT patients and have you received positive feedback?
When can I start taking the pills?? And is there something better for scars?? I don't want to look like Frankenstein, please advise.. than you to the doctors that will answer my question...
I am planning on having a tummy tuck procedure done before the end of October by a board certified plastic surgeon. I have always taken vitamins and minerals to keep my skin looking radiant. List of vitamins/minerals Vitamin A, C, E, Zinc, Rutin,Bromelaine, Arnica Iron Supplement- for my mild anemia I read that vitamin e serves as a blood thinner, so I would like to know how soon before surgery should I stop taking vitamin e and any other vitamin/mineral I mentioned in my list.
Had tummy tuck/ breast augmentation 9 days ago I still super swollen and sore hurts to walk. What can I do for the swelling? My doctor keeps saying I will pee the swelling out soon but still nothing. I'm walking as directed, have my feet propped when not. I'm taking Tylenol, hydrocodone, and muscle relaxer. I've putting the arnica cream on as well.
