Abdominoplasty And Hernia Surgery Aug 16Th

I think u may find 2 weeks post op a little early to go to college .. could u not request some home work for another 2 weeks, not sure really, its all an individual thing how u do post op, I recover well from surgery but wouldnt have been able to do a full day at college, the seating alone would be too uncomfortable .. but speak to your surgeon regarding returniong to college .. good luck with your surgery :)

I returned to work 1/2 days 10 days after my tummy tuck. Consequently it took me long, long time to heal. I had my drain in for 6 weeks. I think if I hadn't overdone it so soon, that I would have healed much faster.

I agree with Karen....better to take time to recover ... Otherwise it takes a long time to get back to normal.

I think I just managed to stand up straight at week 3.

What does your doctor say? My doctor gave me very accurate advice as to when it was ok to do certain things.

TT is a very intense operation compared to the others i had.

Best of luck.
