First Tummy Tuck appointment - any BTDT advice?

Any advice on what to ask the surgeon? My appointment is 6th July. I want to be armed and ready for this :biggrin1:

I know the basics of a TT, how it is done, ect. But is there anything that you wished you had asked before the fact?

So far my list of questions;

How many TT have you done on bandsters?

Should I replace my port w/ a low profile?

Cost (duh!)

Expected recovery time

Where to buy compression garment (if not supplied)

How long to wear CG

When can I resume exercise

Pain medication

What pre op tests will I need

What can I realistically expect

That is what I have for the moment. I am sure I will come up with more in the two weeks till my appointment, and any imput will be more than welcome.

I had tt and had my lapband doc put in low profile port at the same time. You are gonna need it because your belly will be tight under the skin and its gonna show alot. My low profile is down by my waist on the side and I can still see it a little.
