WORTH IT$4,500
I just had a tummy tuck done on 5/5/16. After losing 110 lbs, I had very lose skin in my stomach area. I was very fortunate that it was my only problem area. I used coconut oil every day and I swear by that thing! I didn't get stretch marks from my weight lost. I am barely 1 day out and the pain has been tolerable. My surgeon sent me home with an On-Q pain relief pump and I think it really helped minimize the pain. I am also taking Norco every 4 hours. I was very fortunate because I was all skin. I did not get any lipo. I wanted to do my breast too, but I didn't want to deal with that much pain all at the same time. I am a big baby when it comes to pain. I really liked my surgeon, she seemed to really listen to my wants. It is still too early to tell if my TT turned out how I wanted it. I haven't fully seen my results since I am only 1 day out and still wearing the girdle they put on me after surgery.

2 days out, OMG this hurts!
Day 2 was rough. I have the On-Q pump and taking Norco every 4 hours and the burning sensation was still bad. I had this stupid thing on my throat that made me almost cough. OMG, that was the worst pain I have ever felt. DO NOT cough after abdominal surgery!
