I have been planning this operation for a long time but never managed to lose weight. I am prediabetic and had enough of the big belly and decided to go under. I have seen 8 doctors before making my mind and lots of searches as I am a very detail oriented person and I am described as not easy to please. I don’t normally make reviews but knowing my own journey where I needed advises, facts to make my mind I decided to make this review in the hope that it helps other ladies who are in the same position as me.
The operation took 5 hours, I had breast reduction and muscle repair with tummy tuck. It also involved slight lipo at my back to define the tummy tuck. I won’t call the whole thing painful but it involves a lot of discomfort. So be ready to be patient after the surgery. I am about to complete week three, no regrets whatsoever vice versa glad to have it done. Only regret it that I wish I had exercised and had stronger muscles which d become handy during recovery and that I did it earlier after my second kid. I will explain later why..

- any medicines you normally take but inform the doctor as he may direct you stop few days ahead of the operation
- God forbid - you don’t Wanna cough if you had a tummy tuck so get some pastilles to soften your throat. I woke up with a rather sour throat after the operation and I kept having one before falling asleep.
- I had stomach problems with bloating, so I visited a gastroenterologist pre operation who gave me pills to control bloating as well as stool softeners.
- I have allergic asthma so I had ventolin and antihistamines which helped me through the anesthesia effects
- for week 3 onwards , get some Nelson’s Arnica cream, the arnica in Turkey is different, didn’t make me good.
- ps . Everyone is different , above are myself only, but thought these might remind you your own conditions
- you will be loaded And prescribed by painkillers And antibiotics by the doctor and I can say I didn’t really have much pain to complaint at all.

Week 3 post op
Helen.londonMarch 7, 2022
I had bed rest for 13 days from operation. Had the operation On Tuesday and made start at work next Monday but I worked from home with my PC on my lap while half lying on the bed.
I managed to finish the day fine however as soon as I had dinner I had to sleep because I got exhausted. the next day in the evening I felt rather tired After work felt like having a shiver. Took an early night again. the whole week was like this up and down there were times I felt very cold there were times I felt hot but I managed to get through. I wished to have started half way through in my second week on a part-time basis and work through the third week part time again. If you can manage I would suggest three weeks bed rest would be ideal.
