50 Y/O Mom of Two Tired of Looking Lumpy - Charlotte, NC

WORTH IT$14,601
There are only a few things that money cannot buy and true love is one...without the 24/7 support of my hubby the first few days...I would be a blubbering mess. I elected to have full TT as well as lipo of all the rest of my stomach, back, crests, bra rolls and inner thighs. So, first off, taking it easy for at least two weeks is not an option. Be kind to your drains...they are your friends

Nothing has happened that I didn't expect. That's the great thing about being able to research!
Whether you call it "homework," "research," or just plain obsessing over hundreds of internet postings -- living in the time that we live has made all the difference in the world for my and my TT experience. I found my doctor online, I got financing online, and I got reassurance online ..and still do. Probably the #1 reason I knew that TT was for me has been the before/after photos that others were brave enough to post. Here are my "before" photos - taken Sunday, May 4.

The "do's" that have been "trues"
DO - take the Arnica Montana - wow what a quick recovery on the bruising!
DO - shore up your digestive regularity that week before hand! Get Ducolsate gels and Miralax and start early as possible to get BMs soft and frequent so that harsh laxatives are not required at all.
DO - sleep in a rented hospital bed or a recliner...doing the "beached whale flop" makes for a funny video for youtube but at your expense? I had to call my husband on his cell phone to come "get me unstuck" when I couldn't reach the bed controls, nor could I sit up or roll over. He laughed so hard that I was laughing and mad at the same time.
DO - drink a lot of fluids - but keep away from carbonated and high sugar/frutose.
DO - get the compression garment custom measured - it is more costly, but you will never regret it.

I would love to add your experience to the Tummy Tuck community, but it would be helpful if you could provide some more detail about your experience with your procedure/treatment. I suggest adding before and after photos - optional of course, so that other community members can use your review as a guide throughout their journey.
