Tummy Tuck Questions
In April I had to buy a new summer wardrobe, but I'm not complaining. I have 10 lbs. to lose to reach goal. I am wanting a tummy tuck this winter and I have questions. Does a tummy tuck help reduce the waist area? How much weight did you lose due to having the tummy tuck? Did you go down a pant size? How many days was the pain miserable? How far after the surgery did the swelling go down and you could see results? How far out until you saw final results? I weigh 145 and I plan on being at least 135 when I get it. Thanks

Vitamins and stuff
In Sundays newspapers you can find coupons and see the sales. CVS and Rite Aid have little cards that give % off. I buy Women's Centrum for my multi-vitamin, I buy any on sale for b-12 and Biotin. I used Caltrate for Calcium.

Drainage tube?!?
I had a drain tube for a week. It's annoying. My husband would drain it out, write down the time and how much stuff came out to show the Dr. at my one week post-op appointment.

Almost here!
At first you can chew two Flinstone Completes at night and morning. They have Caltrate in chewable chocolate also. I've heard to not use gummies.
-
Almost here!
You can take prenatal or centrum multivitamins. I wouldn't pay that much. I tale Caltrate twice a day, Centrum once a day, and Biotin. My b12 is good right now, so I'm not currently taking it, but I can take 500 mcg a day. I drink Premiere Protein shakes.

what is the pain like?
The first few days it felt like I did a lot of sit-ups, I had more soreness on one side. I had a few spasms for a week or so after surgery but I didn't take pain medicine after I came home from the hospital.
-
Were you weighed the day of your surgery?
I was not, I guess i should have asked!
-
Biotin how much are you taking
5000 mcg

Mine is simple, since six days post-op I've drank two premiere protein shakes a day, (99% of the time), and any other protein I eat is a plus. I'm four months out!

Arm lift...yay or nay? Are scars or wings worse?
I say, I'd rather have scars...you might have to buy a larger size shirt just to fit around your arms

What was your Dr pre op testing?
Blood work, EKG, chest x-ray and a gallbladder ultrasound
-
Less than 24 hours till surgery!
It didn't hurt at all for me to swallow...one side hurt worse for me, it felt like I did a whole lot of sit-ups, but I didn't take pain medicine after I came home...you will tell a difference in your stomach when you start on solids and you feel full after a couple of ozs. God Bless!!!

Protein brand help
My taste after surgery changed in one way, I prefer flavored water better than plain water now...I like premier protein really well and the high protein is great too
