Just had my consultation for a tummy tuck and boob lift and booked the surgery. The surgeon is highly regarded and I'm very excited to have her. I have wanted a tummy tuck for 22 years. Ever since my 10 lb guy stretched my stomach beyond repair and the ob butchered my cesearean. A flat tummy finally

Questions for the experts
Wannabe flatJune 24, 2013
So I was wondering if anyone can answer a couple questions.
I have decided to stay at my work(I have my own little studio with shower , small fridge, etc) so I can truly relax and not have to deal with animals etc . My man will handle that end. I am hiring a nurse to check on me the first 2 days. I will also have someone come by each day for a couple hours to bring me a bite to eat. Should I hire a nurse or home hea,th aide for a few additional days? Or should I be fine on m own? Am I being foolish staying alone ? I will have a hospital bed.
At what point can I walk the stairs? I will need to go upstairs to get to my bed. I will walk in the hospital and when I'm recovering, but I will be in a small space so walking will be very short steps . So could I go for a walk outdoors, but if course I'd have to tame the stairs.
Thanks all you ladies! I've been a lurker for years and I'm so happy to be a member now

Welcome to the community! You really need to have someone with you 24/7 for at least the first three days! You will need the help most at this point.

I agree with kimmers... I had someone with me 24/7 the first days and slept in a recliner for about a week. After day three you might be able to do some stairs, but be prepared for some back pain from being hunched over.

6 days pre op. Am ecstatic with results. In addition to the lift I also had a reduction. My boobs have no pain at all. Belly is tender mostly at drain site, but they will be removed Friday. No showering until after removal. Totally gross but I will survive. I posted earlier I had huge love handles. I thought so by the way I was Hunched over. I got naked in front of full length mirror and found the opposite. I love how I look!!
Anyone considering this surgery should without hesitation book with dr. Chun. She is amazing , as is her whole staff. If I get the nerve and the ability I will post some pics. I'm sure the results will conti ur to get better. So pleased.
Sleeping sucks, I'm not used to being on mu back. So I hardly sleep. I have nursed until my drains are removed. It's been helpful. I'm drinking a ton of water and juicing lots of pineapple , beets etc. Tryiing to flush all the fluids out.
