On the road to recovery
Carebear02June 2, 2016
Well its been almost a week since my surgery. How the time flies. I have to say that I really haven't experienced much pain but more discomfort. I stopped my morphine pills after day 3 and am taking Motrin when needed. Home care comes in every day and changes my dressings. I am still very swollen but in time that will go away. I am so please with my doctors work. My drains (2 of them) are still draining but slowing down. I am anxious to have them removed so that I can shower. I am taking it very easy as per the doctors orders!
Have a great recovery!

Hello, how are you feeling? I live in the area and am booked for a TT. I am wondering how you liked the staff and Dr Borsuk? Are you happy with the your results to date? In doing my research for getting this done, I did not see Dr. B. Post some pics!! I may change my Doc. depending on what you tell me!! Good luck in your recovery. I am so jealous you have it done already! Waiting is hard, and all the emotions that go with it...

OH, also, where did you book the home care from? I don't think my husband will be good with all the fine details. (easily grossed out!LOL!)

Hi! I just had my drains removed today so I am feeling much better now, thank you! I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Borsuk and Carmen. They are super professional, friendly, knowledgeable and made me feel 200% comfortable with my surgery. I highly recommend him. My scar is beautifully low and I have not had any complications.
The swelling has only now started to go down and I can truly saw that I do not regret my decision one bit. It is an emotional roller coaster the first week or so, so hang in there and rest as much as you can. Home care is provided by Dr. Borsuk, so you need not worry about that. PM me if you have any further questions. Good luck, you won't regret it!

Glad you are feeling better! I am getting a drainless TT with muscle repair. The cost is $14, 600! That is why I asked you how you like your Doc. AND mine does not offer home care afterwards... hum. I have booked a consultation withDr. Borsuk, but I have to say, I really liked the idea of being drainless.....I guess after I meet him I'll have a better idea of what I'll do. Thanks so much! Don't forget to keep posting pics and how things are going!

45 Yr Old, Much Needed TT with MR After Weightloss

I would like to start off by thanking everyone for sharing their stories. I have lurked on here for almost a year. I have learnt SO much from all of you!Now that my day is approaching, I thought I would share my journey. I am 45 years old with two children. I have struggled with my weight since my late teens. 2 years ago, I finally decided to make myself a priority. I started clean eating and working out. I have to say that I am in the best shape I've ever been in. Anyways, with the 100 + pounds weight loss I am stuck with a deflated tire around my abdomen as well as my "fluff" above my belly button. Two large 10 pound babies added to my stretched skin and muscles.I decided to finally reward myself for all my hard work! I will be having a full tummy tuck with muscle repair. My surgery date is quickly approaching and I am nervous as well as excited to kiss my deflated tire goodbye.Hope to hear from you and get support and encouragement through this journey.Pics will be uploaded soon!

Good morning. Thank you so much. I am doing well. Came home from the hospital yesterday afternoon and have been sleeping on and off since. Pain is quite manageable.

Good morning. I'm glad to hear that you're home and doing well. Manageable pain is reassuring too. Get your much deserved rest hon and congratulations on finishing your procedure.
