I was told to empty them twice a day. Besides that I just left them alone. I didn't have much coming out though. I only had the drains from tuesday-friday. Hope everything went well!

Hey congrats on getting your surgery. I just got mine scheduled for next month and I'm excited/nervous.

Move around...10-15 minutes every hour to prevent clotting.... empty drains more than 2 times a day if they fill up fast...

CONGRATS!!! happy healing vibes to you

Congrats. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Will or did anyone use FMLA. I'm considering a TT as well.

I just got my date for TT...9/30...and I'm taking FMLA.

I was looking at Mexico and wondering what should it say for type of surgery to get it approved. Looking at February. Because just saying tummy tuck could be questionable.

Any advice?

Well kinda sad update I was home for 6 hours then ended up taking a Ambulance ride to the er on weds still here today serious dehydration and couldn't even stand or sit up without feeling dizziness and passing out . As of today able to walk around and found out that I have a lot of blood in the stomach that they might have to go back and clean up fml

Well that's not terrifying at all...

Good, I'm glad you get to go home.

When your feeling a bit better let us know what happened, what they said?

From what I understand , I lost to much blood during my surgery , and I was also VERY dehydrated :/ those combined was the reasoning for the dizziness and passing out
