45 Years of Age Big Weight Loss Large Apron - United Kingdom

Hi so sorry for late reply had a problem with my emails.AlI I can say is it was the best thing I ever had done,I had the tuck in Dec 2014 I was in hospital for 2 nights had 2drains in which I hated but was very lucky as I didn't go home with them,the pain was ok I kept up with my pain relief always,bowels took a while to start working also missed a few of my monthly's due to the Trauma but all settled down in time .I had a plaster and my binder on for the first week then went to see nurse for dressing change and was amazed at how good it all looked was so pleased.Ok so recovery I went back to work beginning of Jan I had 4 weeks off 2 weeks of that was Xmas period .I did have a slight infection in my belly button but nothing antibiotics didn't sort outs had a great surgeon and team of nurses on call at any time. I went for a 6 week check up with my surgeon and was aloud to start exercise but nothing to strenuous.please make sure you wear your binder for as long as you can I wore mine for 8weeks day and night it really helps with swelling which believe me is horrible.I don't think you can prepare yourself for that I thought I did but had really bad days where I just cried as my belly looked huge it sort of went from flat to huge over night but it is all normal unless you have access fluid that may need to be drained .The swelling can last for months I was told up to a year but it's not all the time and it does go down .i went back for 12week check and had bulges on the side which you can see in above pic so had lipo 6 months after but this is normally done with tummy tuck but I couldn't have it at time.later I had dog ears removed on day surgery all in with original price.hope this helps and good luck:0)
