36 Years Old and 2 Kids - North Brunswick, NJ

Im in California and I had my Tummy Tuck on March 6th also. Today is the first day I could get off the couch and put on some yoga pants and sit outside for a bit. Im 49 years old so my recovery may go a little slower than yours. Good luck on your recovery.

Cariejean I see you're in sacramento like me! Are you going to post your details or can you message them to me about who your surgeon was and how it all went? Thanks!

Hey carijean. I know how u feel. Crazy that it's going to be a week already. I can't wait to get these drains out.

Hey 71beach. Are u excited? It is going to be here before u know u know it. Just make sure u do all your food shopping,laundry,house is clean before u have the surgery. Also make sure u have soft foods for yourself like applesauce, pudding, yogurt, soup, saltine crackers, and ducolax stool softener. It is going to be uncomfortable sleeping for a few weeks but just try to get as comfortable as you can.

I know..excited to get the drains out. Down to almost no output. Have a follow up appt on friday..love my new flat tummy even with the swelling.

Happy to ans anything for you. My surgeon id Dr. Sumida in Folsom , Ca. It went really really well. Staff and process was awesome. My recovery is going really good. I coughed once and thought I would die...SUPER PAINFUL. I cried like a baby, but other than that its been bearable. Didnt realize how much you use your core until you cant. Are you scheduled or thinking about having it done? Ask anything you like I will ans the best I can

I know. I still can't believe that I did it. Still not real to me. I just can't wait to feel myself again and go shopping for new cloths. So happy to hear u had a good experience.

I agree on how much u use your core. I have been fighting a sneezes for days now. I coughed once and I thought I saw stars.

Yes I am excited and I'm already preparing as best I can. I have a really supportive husband so I know he'll be here for whatever I need also. I'm sure I won't sleep well - I normally don't sleep very well anyway. I just hope those first 10 days go by quickly!

Thats great. My husband is awesome. He has been doing everything for me, even washing my hair and everything. Be sure to get s wedge pillow. .a lifesaver for sleeping and for walking we have my mother in laws walker and I have been using that. Helps so much with the low back pain from being bent over so much. Also get Boost shakes to have the protein to help eith muscle repair and to tske your pain meds. Works great. Good luck!

I totally understand. And it's great that the hubby will help out. It is a big relief. Good luck with everything.

Thanks so much. Going to look into the edge pillow.

Thank u. Going to look into a wedge pillow.

We found mine at bed bath and beyond..was a challenge to find.

Thanks. That was going to be my first stop.

Im in California, also 49 years old and had my surgery March 6th. I just came in from sitting outside for a bit and it feels so good to get off the couch. .Hopefully getting my drains out on Wed.

Very nice. Still cold here. Can't wait for the warm weather. This winter was brutal. If I get the drains out tomorrow maybe it will feel more freeing.

So funny but so true. Thank u

So funny and true. Thank u.

Look forward to seeing your pics since we had our surgery on the same day :-)
