Abdominoplasty And Hernia Surgery Aug 16Th



Recommended Posts

Aug 16th I am having my surgery. I cant wait! though here's my situation. I was planning on taking collage classes in Fall 2012. I now thinking just doing 1 online class or none at all.

classes start two weeks post op. I basically just need my text book and laptop for course. I dunno. just looking how people were with returning to "office work"or school.

thanks

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.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
