I'm going for a tummy tuck with Dr. Epstein too! I was so excited that he does no drains. I'm just wondering how was your recovering with no drains? He said when he doesn't use drains patients are up walking the next morning. Did you have much pain? Glad to hear your recovering nicely. Enjoy your new tummy!!

You'll be surprised at how well you recover. I expected much discomfort. The next morning when he came to check on me I was up and walking around. I had my surgery on a Tuesday and only took the pain medicine for two nights. On Saturday I removed the tubes (for the pain pack). Even then, I was surprised at how easily they came out. I took them out myself and thought I'd be queasy. I didn't even feel them coming out. Dr. Epstein has monitored me since, and I can't tell you how pleased I am. The only thing I would recommend is this: I had surgery on Tuesday and went back to work on Monday. Although I was able to do it, I wish I had taken a couple of more days. I wish you much luck. You'll be so excited with the results. Enjoy. Dr. Epstein and his staff is wonderful.
