I just had my tummy tuck in NYC on Tuesday the 10th and I am in pain but doing so well. I am happy I did it and loved my dr and my team.

How is the pain? My TT was just scheduled today and I am author nervous

Congratulations on your TT & weight loss

To be totally honest it was like a 4 1/2 right after surgery. I was never in immense pain. Just make sure u take the pain relief script. I was walking up right within the first week

Good luck on your TT - keep me updated on how u are doing

congrats on the tummy tuck! Some have said they came home with a pain pump did u? I have also heard some come home with two drains did u? Did they provide u with the binder or did u purchase that on your own before hand? did they do liposuction with yours I wasn't sure if that is included in a tummt tuck?Did u stay overnight or was it outpatent? Sorry so many questions just curous. you said u was walking after first week how far? How long r u gonna be off work? How long till u could lift weight if u wanted? Is it 6 or 8 weeks? Did u have your band empty or leave it full? If so did u have any problems with that?

When is your date? I know mine is next month but will get the exact date today when I go in. Are u getting lipo done with the tummy tuck? Are they tightening your muscles at the same time? If u don't mind me asking how much was your starting weight and what do u weigh now? R u coming home with pain pump? How many drains will u have and were will they be located? Is your outpateint? I am getting very excited but very nervous already Good luck with your tummy tuck.

I had mine 8/26

My ps surgeon wants me to have the lapband surgeon move my port up by my ribs and shorten tubing before he does surgery has anyone herd of doing this?

I had mine 8/26

My port was moved from right above my belly button to the left side of it during my TT. It didn't create any problems or complications

Just to chime in,

I think everyone is different postop just like all other surgeries.

For me I didnt get a pain pump my first tt, had a drain for 2 days, was back at work day 4 post op (i'm a teacher), got a binding at the hos but switched to another kind when I left, lipo on my stomach by my request, stayed one night, gyming after 2 weeks I think, didnt unfill my band, had my port moved, and so on

I had the incision extended 2ce because I didnt like the results and I am happy with it now. A tummy tuck is so much less pain then the band surgery and breast augmentation. That's if your muscles arent touched

My muscles were plicated (shortened/tightened) during my TT
