Hello everyone!! I am new to this and have been reading everyones experiences for a month now. It is so nice to see how many people feel the same way I do about the procedure and just knowing how everyone is supporting each other. Thats so amazing. I am a mother of 3 and just turned 29. After my second and third child is when my body became all disportioned. I got these horrible love handles that just keep getting worse. Its like everything I eat goes to them and my stomach. My stomach/love handle area became even worse as of last summer when I quit smoking and gained almost 30 lbs in 2 and a half months. Just two months ago is when I became fed up! I had to do something so I went to my first consultation and thats when Dr. Carp told me tummy tuck and lipo to the flanks. I still wasn't sure and went back again with more questions and finally scheduled my surgery in July for August 13th. The countdown has finally began! 9 more days. So anxious, nervous, excited, and happy that it's finally going to happen!!!

Okay so I wanted to know if there was anyone out there who just started a new job? I started mine in April and I am a bank Teller. I am only going to be off for 10 day, whoopy. I honestly do not feel like this enough time. I just transferred to another bank that is literally behind my house on the next street so its way more convenient now. I don't feel comfortable enough right now to ask for more time. My new manager asked me what my surgery was for my very first day there and I responded to a little fib because I don't feel it is any of there business. I would like to know from those who have recently started jobs and those who have been at their jobs any amount of time, your experience going back after to work from your procedure, how long you took off, did you tell your co-workers, and how your pain was. I would love to hear from those who have stand up jobs like me too. Also I am only part-time so that helps me a lot but so worried since I will have only ten days off. thanks ladies.

Have you asked your ps if 10 days is long enough? Will that be 10 working days? If so, from what my ps said, that's long enough for most and they encourage a return to activities about then. I'm going back to work about 14 days po for one day then return 17 po. My job is a little physical, so I am concerned too. I don't plan on telling work at all! Good luck!

He said two weeks which would be from the 13th to the 27th. They scheduled me to work on the 24th:-( Thank God it's just for 4 hours. Then I have the next day off again. Yea I'm in the same boat without telling my job what procedure but its none of their business. Thank you! Good luck to u as well.

Congratulations!

Thanks!!

I took off for 3 weeks. Even going back to work, I got tired fast...I had one drain in almost the whole time. You have to let your body heal properly..
August 10, 2013
Omg I didn't realize how long the drains had to stay in. Can you see them through your clothes?
August 10, 2013
Well, I was still draining a lot of fluid. So Dr. Thought it would b best to keep at least one drain in. U cant see it thru the clothes.

I cannot believe how unprepared I am. I have nothing for my surgery yet. Most importantly I have not even got my prescriptions filled. I will do that later today. I keep hearing how everyone has gotten a recliner. I do not have one and really do not want to spend the money to get one for a few weeks. Any suggestions? My mother in law has 5 huge, amazingly comfortable recliners in their movie theatre basement. I think my hubbys bonn ask her if we can borrow one, just not sure how we are going to get it here bc we do not have a truck. Oh boy. I have a little list of things to get like maybe 3 things. Any suggestions of must haves. Thank you so much!
