Who's had a TT or Boobs done?



Recommended Posts

So I'm booked in to have my Tummy Tuck and breast reduction on April 3rd. Starting to get a bit nervous lol, but that's normal.

Just wondering, from those of you who've had it done ... on a scale of 1 - 10, how bad was the pain?

I'd like to know the the pain level too, I'm seriously considering another boob job and Tummy Tuck myself. Had a reduction 25 years ago, time for another reduction and lift, also had a mini tummy tuck done 15 years ago, now that was painful, all those tubes, yuk.

Heck since I'm already gonna be in massive pain, I may as well get the eye lids done too.

Would be nice to know how much ya paid too. I don't have a clue yet as to the cost for both together, $$$$$$$ I'm sure.

my Tummy Tuck was fully covered by medicare but im in australia. It wasnt perfomed by a plastic surgeon just a normal surgeon.

The pain was very painful, it lasted about 2 weeks was on meds for the pain. The first few days were the worst each day got betta.

In the end the pain is worth it:)

Hi ,

I am a wimp, so I dont know if I qualify to answer this question...LOL

I had the abdominoplasty and medial thighplasty at the same time. It was awful like an 8-9. Not while in the hospital, but at home. I was allergic to the pain meds and had to stop taking them when I got home from the hospital. All the other substitutes they gave me did not work. The worst part is the drainage tubes. I was dying to get them out since the skin around them gets extremely irritated and burns quite a bit. It was such a relief to have them pulled out!!!!

As you can see, I did not give you the edited warm and fuzzy version! ITs a rite of passage to pay for a flat tummy and new belly button!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
