27yr Old 3 Kids. Major Weight Loss. Anxious About Surgery! - Regina, SK

I just had a full tummy tuck done 3 wks post op today there is a lot of burning in the abdomen but I didn't experience any serious pain I actually only took one percocet for discomfort after the surgery. You will have to do lots of walking starting post op day 1 I did and it helped with a lot of the discomfort. I'm planning to do a breast reduction and lift in june. I hope this was helpful remember always do what the doctor tells you to help your recovery process. Your gonna do well.

Hi,
I had my TT about a year ago right now I can say I am fully recovered. But I guess recovery goes from person to person everybody has a different body and life style so it all depends... but from my own experience the recovery was the worst from the whole process. It was very painful. I felt pain up to 8 to 15 weeks the worst was the first 2 weeks . But again everybody is different and also everyone has a different reaction to the meds some people can take low dosage and other like me need a higher dose to feel no pain.... but good luck with everything hope I was helpful ☺

How much weight did you lose? And how did you do it? I just started a diet yesterday and I want to lose about 60lbs in 6 months. You look great.

Hi there, I'm 5 weeks post op. I had breast augmentation , tummy tuck and lipo and hernia repair.I have a pretty high pain tolerance but have to say it was pretty painful the first two weeks. I only took meds for 2 days due to throwing up from them and that was the worst pain ever. I started using ibeprophin 4 times a day but never fall behind your med times. I didn't have much pain with the incision but more worried about ripping it open from standing straight. I've seen some pretty bad tummy tucks on here from opens wounds to just bad results so I think I just babied myself a little more. I used a walker with the wheels and seat and it was a life saver. I was drained by as little as taking a shower so I could sit on it while getting dried and dressed. I feel you really need to have help for at least the first week . I'm sure it was a little more tiring because I had a lot done but as for tummy tuck portion the tightness was the most uncomfortable . Are you doing lipo with it? If so I recommend using arnica pills it helps with bruising, I didn't have any bruising at all except a tiny bit around my areoloas because I swelled so much. I hope it helps a little . Good luck to you, and by the way great job on weight loss, and sorry for such a long response

I couldn't do a lot of walking but I'm up now walking more than just to the bathroom I'm having a problem with my garment rolling up did you?

Hi there I hope u are feeling a little better and ur pleased so far best of luck in your healing
