Hi All:

My plastic surgery is schedule for next week and I'm really starting to get nervous. If anyone has had both procedures done at the same time, can you let me know if it was worth it? Would you do it again? What was the pain like (I plan on being off about 3 1/2 weeks - desk job) and am married with two teenagers, so I will have help? We you able to attend to your "personal" needs?

My anxiety has been off the charts that past couple of days. Any comments would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,

Dee

I just had a tummy tuck 4 weeks ago today. That first week was a bit hard. But to tell you the truth it wasnt near as bad as I was expecting it to be. I was on a lot of good drugs and I slept through about 3 days. My husband tells me I would wake and talk a bit and then fall back asleep mid sentence. I was finally more alert and remember things about a week after surgery. My biggest problem was the depression that hit. Its hard going from being extremely active to not being able to do to anything. Please go outside and sit for a bit. I wish I would have at least gone outside to get out of the house.

Yep, you can take care of 'personal' needs. I even started my period 5 days after surgery, was that fun!

I went back to mild cardio after 2 weeks and have been feeling great. I still have a few limitations, but definitely feel like myself again.

Best of luck and yes it is worth it!
