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.

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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
