WORTH IT$15,000
It's my time!!! 2 kids & small weightloss, I want my body back! I have been wanting this surgery for years now with heavily researching and watching this site for over 6 months. I had 2 consults the 1st week of March with Dr. Nijher, Ocala and Dr. Lentz, Daytona & made my decision to go with Dr. Lentz. Both had great personality and I clicked with both But Dr. Lentz was able to do more for me with his access to the hospital. I'm scheduled for a b/a, drainless tummy tuck with lipo of the hips, inner & outer thighs!

Don't stress yourself out. You won't need that much. A must is a shower chair and a walker. Some people like a raised toliet seat. I bought one but never used it. Protein shakes, a couple of 4x4s a CG. You will get one from the dr but will need a smaller one afterwards. Ice pack. Eat alot of pineapple helps you heal. The dr will give you a couple of bras too. Scar cream comes later. Hopefully you have a recliner with lots of pillows. Healthy eating with low sodium. If you have any questions I can help. Another goodthing about no drains is you can shower the next day. Excited for you!

I'll check goodwill for the shower chair and walker. Maybe even hospice or salvation army. What's a 4x4? Where do u recommend getting the 2nd compression garment? Like spanx or something better? Unfortunately no recliner :( do you leak blood and stuff from your TT scar or lipo holes or will that be don't by the time I get home? Should I protect the bed or couch? So much insite I appreciate it all! :)

I got my walker in great shape at the good will for 10 bucks. The shower chair is a must got it from amazon along with a mariaE compression garment. Around 85 bucks. 4x4 is some gauze you can pick up at Walmart. You may or may not use it. I think you will for the first coupledays with ointment on the thencision. You may have some drainage but it should be minimal. I would have something to protect whatever you are laying on. You'll need lots of pillows to help you get comfortable. It takes longer then you think about being able to sleep comfortably. I was pretty surprised. Dr L recommended spandex but I wanted and used a heavier duty CG. I'm glad I did. You will get a binder too and will probally need a 2nd one. Got 2nd on amazon. How far do you live from New Port Richey Fl? I could give you All my leftover stuff for free. Shower chair. Walker, tolietseat raiser, 3 different compression garment Iin 3 diff sizes. Binders etc. I'd really don't mind giving it to you, it's all just sitting here?
