I just hope to have a normal life, get rid of my depression ( ex call me cow, and that i look horrible with my ubres hanging) Plus i dream about using a dress without people asking about du-date. My doctor's appointment was 3 days ago, and she promises to smooth the most that she can because my surgery its cover by insurance but I'm not getting my muscles tide, but she said that it's going to be hip to hip, I feel really excited about it!!

I asked someone when their due date was, once. That was over 30 years ago and I still feel bad about it. Now someone could say that about me. : (. I have a Panni scheduled for Jan 19, 2016

My doctor said I wouldn't be spending the night - having a panni on Jan. 19. 2016. Also, he said that I wouldn't have any drains. I've read up on that (less chance of getting an infection, discomfort, and I've heard drains are used mostly on people who don't have as much body fat). Seems like most of the people on here have drains and spend the night.

Of course that you need to spend the night because it is a mayor surgery! Are you sure that doctor it's the right one? No drains? Look for more info and you will see what yor really need!

I had my post appointment today and just talked to a nurse, not the doctor. She said I WOULD have drains and said I wouldn't be spending the night. Maybe a Panni is different than a tummy tuck. She also said I wouldn't be nauseous at all. Practically everywhere I read, patients were usually nauseous.
January 9, 2016
The day after my surgery, just before they gave me my discharge instructions, I start getting dizziness and nauseous and I had to stay 6 more hours before they let me come back home. You may not have those symptoms, but if you feel like that, better stay at hospital.

Whoops I meant PRE surgery consult, not post. I was surprised I'd be sent home after surgery; I live two hours away. The only person to help me after I get home is my 26 yr old daughter. They said she has to give me a shot a day, for ten days to prevent blood clots; she's never given a shot before. Anyone else ever had shots?

Nop, I just had a pain med, dren plus 2 drains. I guess every doctor use different ways with patients :/
Happy Healing !!
