Tummy Tuck Nov 20 2009

So I payed for my TT today...:scared2:

Although It broke my bank and then some, I am very excited!

I have had my band now for over 2 years and have lost just over 150 pds~ So I def. need one! I now weigh around 170-175 pds over the day..I have always held all my weight in my stomach and so I have most of the weight that I need to lose in the skin in my belly..

So my question to all is what should I expect? What kind of pain is it? What pain meds did you PS prescribe? How long was your recovery? Is there anything special to bring to the hospital?

Congratulations! You look amazing and it is exciting that you are going to complete your "journey" by having your TT. I hope when I finish losing weight, I will be able to have one also.

Well i had my TT years ago before my lapband. (back when i had lost alot of weight before) well you will have pain for about 2 to 3 weeks but i had a pain pump i came home with. I also had 2 drain tubes for about 2 weeks. after you heel its all worth it!:thumbdown:
