It's finally here! Monday I'm getting my TT, some lipo around the hip-area (plus hernia repair).
I am so excited I can't stand it. I do have a couple of questions I'd like to ask those who've had this done before. :biggrin: A couple I forgot to ask the PS. I'm sure each surgeon is different, but is the port something that is moved during PS? I'll have to try to remember to ask him on Monday. If they end up just leaving it where it is, is it something that I can get moved or replaced after the fact? I'm not concerned at all about scarring. I doubt i'll be wearing a bikini anytime soon.
Next question - how long were you PHYSICALLY unable to get out of bed ( I mean except for the usual going potty, getting up to at least get some moving around done)?
How was the weight loss after the TT and after the swelling went down? did the band feel tighter?
Last question, but doesn't really have much to do with the surgery.....I've been having some pain in the area of my port and where I think the actual band is. Any clues as to what that might be? Will the port/band hurt more once the excess skin was removed?
I apologize for all the questions. I greatly appreciate any help and advice i can get. Thank you. :wub:
