Hello, I am 48 years old and am post-op 2 weeks after a tummy tuck and breast reduction. I feel pretty good and love t he results even with. The remaining bruising, swelling and scars. Be prepared the 1st week as you will need to be cared for- you will not be able to get in and out of bed alone, lift anything, you will only be able to stand for short periods as the back discomfort because of the stoop. However, after you get through that, you'll be more independent. I drove at 10 days and can do most things now but I can't grocery shop due to the lifting. Be kind to yourself and give it time. Good luck.

Time is flying past that's for sure! Only 18 days until I have the first part of my Mommy Makeover done!!!
Got all my prescriptions filled so that's all done. Pre op done and I'm ready to go! We're hosting my boyfriends daughters wedding here at the house Saturday July 25. Then I can focus on getting the rest of my stuff in order. I hope the post op time goes as fast ash the time leading up to it is LOL!!
It's exciting and encouraging to read all the posts, stories and tips. I've learned so much about what to expect and what not to do from everyone!! Thanks to all who post that valuable information for us to learn from. :-)
