I got my tt in 12/10/2016 and can you say I was like what made me do this I shouldn't have done this!
Well it will be a week soon and I'm happy!
Dr Robert Schlicky did a wonderful job!
I'm happy and I wasn't at first!
The office is really crowded at all times.
When you go for your doctor visit after surgery which is like a day or 2 away you get this body massage to run the fluid out the tubes to help you heal better!
Must say it was very bad the first 2 days but it's getting better!
Only thing about tummy tucks you better not sneeze or cough it hurts like heck!!!

Congratulations on your results.  Your tummy look so flat and beautiful.  Hang in and the worst part of the recovery will be over soon.  The first 2 weeks are the absolute worst, but it does get easier.  Update us often.

Thank you I'm so looking forward to this second week I'm itching bad now!
I just hope that I didn't bust no stitches from coughing and sneezing!

The stitches are pretty tight so the chances of busting them with coughing and sneezing is pretty rare.  Try using an organic unrefined coconut oil for moisturizer.  That will really help the itching.

When you cough or sneeze hold a pillow in front of you hard as you can take it. It helps a lot! The coughing gets easier week 2

I live in Pa also and thinking about getting a TT. It's hard to find a place that does lymphatic drainage massage. How painful was it? Is your scar very noticeable?

Of course it's painful but you can take it! And it's worth it!! No my scar is really good I'm going to get a tatt over it soon as I heal! But it's not bad I'll upload more pics soon

Yea I had mines two weeks ago still bent over it's so tight! My back is killing me
User Avatar

Have you been walking? You have to make yourself get up and walk. Then slowly straighten yourself up. I can't just stand up straight at first , I have to bend to a straight position after prompting myself. Today I have some swelled but other than that I'm ok!

Sylvia I can do awful lol. I just can't do uncomfortable and this binder is killing AND I will admit that as of day 10(yesterday) this drain is killing me!!!

December 27, 2016
Yup I told you I had my drain on for 11 days both of them! How do your back feel?
User Avatar
December 26, 2016
Lisa I actually like Marena's gear. I had lipo of the flanks about 7 years ago. I purchased one, but it's half way cool and half way not because of the drain and the swelling. I am afraid if I send it back for a size bigger and the swelling goes down, I am screwed. Once the drain is out I can make a better assessment of my situation I guess. Maybe I will get lucky like u and the doc will give me one

My back is good... no back pain, it's just this drain site. I get it removed tomorrow. It's weir that everything under my belly button is numb
User Avatar
December 27, 2016
Remember when I said I'm numb under my lower part it's still numb! It feels so weird to touch and then on top of that it's creepy feeling
