Hi, just wondering if anyone is in either the bartender/waitress industry and had a tummy tuck? How long did it take you to feel good enough to go back to work?

I'm neither, but any good PS' office will give you the details - I think it's about the same for anyone who works. My daughter had a TT and it was horribly painful - she cursed the day she did it, UNTIL she was better and it has been years now and she still looks fantastic. She was not heavy, she just had 4 babies!

I had liposuction only - don't understand why Doc did it since I was heavy, but for me that was so painful, I am too chicken to think about a TT just yet, if ever.

Best, Helen

JSIL good luck with that. I wish you all the best. I was a cocktail waitress...loved it, worked a grand club and made obscene money. That was then, this is now. I'm starting to mentally prep myself for the multiple procedures I will have done. I'm not at goal, still probably a year out the gate from any surgeries but I'm seeing my stomach and breasts and arms and KNOW that I exercise alone ain't gonna do the job.

AGain..LUCK!!

Thanks for the info, but I have no idea where you are telling me to click! Can you give me a lesson on "Lap-band 101" Ha! I need step by step directions...Thanks!

I am 3 weeks post op and very tired still. I would think if you are on your feet and need to stand upright that it would take at least 4-6 weeks to get back into the swing of things. Also, keep in mind that you may have drain in too. I had one drain out 2 days post op and the other one almost 3 weeks. The tummy tuck isn't sore or anything like that, its just tiring.

Hi Jenny,

Good luck with your surgery tomorrow!!!

Let us know how you're doing when you feel up to it.

:smile::thumbup:

Thanks for the "good luck" but my surgeons office just called and said surgery will be cancelled. My ps is sick, I am sooo sad! Well let you know what is going to happen! Thanks! Jenny

JSIL, I am a N-ICU nurse and was off work for 4 weeks when I had had mine done, I should have taken off 6 weeks but ran out of time. The worst part of the post of period was being so tired!! The longer you can take off the better.

Thanks for the info., I will try and take some more time.

Sorry to hear about the cancellation...but I don't think you want a sick PS operating on you. I say that now but I would be freaked out if mine calls in sick!
