i was very nervous. Next thing I knew they were waking me up. Worse thing right now is getting out of bed. This site has helped me so much with my decision to go through with this. I was afraid I was to old. Time will tell. I got home with no issues other than I was real loopy from medicine. My daughters and best friend are taking great care of me. Can anyone give me a tip for getting out of bed? I sure would appreciate it. Keep it all on the sunny side????

I had lipo to upper/lower abs, flanks and inner thighs yesterday. Getting up and down is painful but my husband swings my feet around and helps me to a sitting position then I use him to counterbalance my weight to get up to a standing position. Today, I spent the day in a recliner as it's much easier than getting out of bed!

I know this does not sound appealing since we are all clinging on to our youth but a good friend rented a walker for me for a month. Of course I hated the thought of it but It was a lifesaver. It helped me getting out of bed and going to the bathroom.

Try using a cane to give you support so you aren't just using your stomach muscles
It worked for me on the first couple of days . Used it to get out of bed and to take pressure off when getting up from seating on the couch

I made sure I slept in bed with my long body pillow all in a swirl with a couple of pillows on top so my upper body was raised up high. My legs were raised somewhat to. So if your upper body is raised ..kind of do a roll out of bed. I see you had TT so you need a walker to help you around:(. I had abs, flanks & outer thighs done (saddle bags ha!!!) I had it done Feb. 5th. Good luck to you. Healing prayers!!!

post op day 4. Wow I can't believe how good I feel. I had a full Tummy Tuck with lipo. Pain is very manageable - my daughters are taking such good care of me. Went into dr yesterday dressing was taken off. Will try to put pic up. I was shocked how good it looks. I have been sleeping in my bed since the surgery. It took several times to figure out the best way to get up. No problem with bm. Love my grabber seems I drop everything. I was so scared and expected the worst. Should have done this 25 years ago. I can't thank everyone on this site enough. Without this site I never would have gone for it.

CONGATULATIONS! I just turned 55 and have thought about this a lot. I mean a lot. You give me hope. I wanted to have a TT this summer but had to have unplanned wrist surgery so PS will have to wait until next year. Sounds like you are doing great. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

go for it as soon as you can. I am having trouble being inactive. I always have several things going on but I am forcing myself to take it easy

Congratulations!!!! I had a full TT a few months before my 40th birthday. BEST thing ever! Never too late. I'm goin for more Lipo Tuesday and I'm 46. Enjoy every moment knowing you are never going back to your pre TT tummy! After about 2 weeks I was able to get out and about a bit. But take it easy as much as possible. I tended to overdo it when I felt good, then paid for it later!

Feeling great

Feeling really good. Had 2nd BM since surgery. Have stopped pain pills just taking Motrin. The hardest part is laying around but I do get tired very easy. I am sure I am gonna have down days but so far so good. Trying to walk as much as possible boy when they say your back will bother you is putting it nicely. I told my girls that I think I will be ok now to take care of my self. Hoping to get drain tubes out tomorrow. Will post pics once drains are out.

Sounds great! Congratulations on graduating from the narcotic pain killers so quickly and double congrats on the double BM! I had to buy some over the counter meds to help things along and you're still one ahead of me. Rest well!

Thanks. I hope you are doing good. This is an experience most people could never understand

Those drains are a nuisance, aren't they? It'll be easier when they are gone! Fingers s crossed you can let them go tomorrow. Are you draining much?
March 30, 2015
Less than 8 in 24 hours. I hope they come out soon. The look like they are drying out I do keep milking them.
You are never too old! And you aren't old anyways. Keep us posted on your recovery. I hope you post some before pics and progress pics when you feel up to it.
Sorry I didn't see this sooner I could have helped- looks like you figured it out- thanks for adding pics!
