I have also posted in the tummy tuck group and haven't had much luck. I am one week and a day post op my tummy tuck and breast augment. My tummy tuck is doing great! I did not have muscle repair since I already have a flat stomach. I would say that I wouldn't need any paid meds if it wasnt for my breasts. But, everything I have read online has said that you could be going back to work after 5 days????
My breasts are so still so extremely swollen they feel like they are going to pop. My left a little more then my right. I did not go huge either. Like I said, i breast feed two kids and had plenty of room for implants. I only got 300 CC saline's under the muscle.
I am really starting to get discouraged and depressed. I have to take perk every 4 hours still and cant even sleep I am in so much pain. The swelling is much worse at night.
Any ideas or words of wisdom? Is there any ointments or creams I could use to decrease the swelling? I am dying here! My doctor says this is all normal and that there can be pain and swelling for 6 weeks!? I figured some, but this much!?

Well, again I did not sleep hardly at all last night.... but at least it was better than the night before. The difference was this morning I woke up feeling like I have yet to feel at all since this surgery. HAPPY! My breasts were still very sore and swollen, but not as bad as previous mornings. After a shower and a good breast massage they started feeling better. They have continued to be more of a discomfort throughout the day than a complete agony. This is the first day since surgery that I have not had to take a nap or have gotten exhausted from simple tasks. The only downfall is that I have been very nauseous. I'm thinking its because all the fluid is making its way through my metabolism? Thats my only guess. I am trying to drink lots of extra water in hopes of flushing it quicker if thats the case.
Hoping for sleep tonight!

XxMom, I only had BA no TT, so I can only speak from there. I did not experience pain like you are describing but I have read from several women on this site, who had a really rough recovery. One lady was vomiting for days, we were really worried about how sick she was. We are all so different. I'm glad you are starting to see some improvement and it should just continue to get better every day now. But don't get discouraged if you have days that feel like set backs. Don't expect too much from yourself either honey. It may have been elective plastic surgery but you still are not even 2 weeks out from some major surgical procedures. Give your body sometime to adjust and heal.

I have read a lot on here too and it does seem to not be the norm to have all of these problems. My surgeon says that everyone's bodies just heal differently. Unfortunately, I got the crap end of the stick lol. My TT on the other hand has given me no problems at all! I have felt fine ever since the tubes came out.
