i am so nervous and scared 8 more day till surgery. i have been reading online on after care po. i hope i do well. i will be posting before and after pics. I hope this helps others make their decision on the procedure. For me i made the choice of tt cause ive always exercise and always eating well but the loose skin was always there. so i hope my tt comes out the way i expect...

Congrats on your choice. I had mine done nov 4 the first week is hardest please have someone with you 24 hrs day for at least 4 days unti you can get to bathroom by yourself. As I said in previous replies please rent a power lift recliner that lifts you to a standing position. This has saved me good luck and take one day at time

I had 2 csections and this takes the cake pain wise. It does hurt but keep your eye on the prize - the final result you need help someone to stay with you at least 5 days. You need to take the pain meds round the clock for first 3 days It is a lot. As for clothes I bought 5 tank tops and 5 pairs of Hanes track pants from Walmart and I had various hoodies around the house that's what I live in. I had a no drain tt done with 2 hernia repairs and muscle tightening. You wil be fine
