I wanted to know from those who have done this procedure how I should prepare. Can I really drive and go back to work after 2weeks
Sholud I order a recliners chair, bed
A wedge instead of pillows?
I will have help for first 24hours.
Can I get out of bed on my own after 24hours?
Can someone who had this done give me some more information

I had tummy tuck with muscle repair and drove to work after two weeks. I still couldn't stand straight but was fine. Also had two of the three drains in yet. You can get out of bed on your own if you kinda roll out. I slept in recliner for the first three nights. Sneezing and coughing are really painful.

I am 65 and had my TT this last January
Forget recliner
Yes help first 24 48 hours would be better
Borrow a walker. A must
Take stool softeners etc at least a week ahead
You will need more than 2 weeks off work we are not spring chickens!!! Let me know if you have any other ??
