I am on day 12 of recovery from TT and lipo and although wounds healing nicely now, I am really swollen and swelling goes hard at the end of the day, did you suffer from this and how long did it last please? Also, how did you cope with the compression garments as they are driving me nuts? Thanks a lot Vikki

Tbh the whole experience was totally quick.
Went in Wednesday morning I was starving lol as no food after 6.30 am.
Was told I would be 2nd on the list and enders going down at around 5pm instead of 4.
All I remember is speaking with the anaesthetist then waking up and thinking I hadn't even been done yet lol.
I think the op took 3.5 hours and I returned to my room from recovery at around 11-12 pm.
I felt extremely nauseas and was sick a lot the next day.
On Thursday I struggled with hunger and vomiting.
The staff were really friendly and most of them don't make you feel as though your being a nuisance lol.
The food was good and substantial.
I wasn't in a lot of pain but ensured I had my meds on the dot around the clock.
I'm now at home after spending 2 nights there went in Wednesday and discharged Friday.
I had the drains out this morning that was uncomfortable.
Due back twice next week for dressing change and then dressing removal.
I've got a binder on now and have not yet seen my results I can't wait though.will upload pics once I've taken them

Thank you
Yes Mr Lee checked up on me twice after surgery.
Once the day after and once again before I went home.
The anaesthetist was a lovely guy.
He spoke to me calmly and reassured all my doubts and questions.
Before I knew it is was asleep and then awake questioning if the tummy tuck had actually happened lol x
