Well i got my tummy tuck yesterday. All I can say is OUCHY. Way worse then lap band surgery. 2 vics and 4 motrin and still OUCHY.As long as I sit and stay sitting im fine. But when I have to get up to use the restroom my stomach muscles burn and my incision kills. Not to scare anyone away from getting one just telling the truth.

Sounds painful but worth it. I can't wait to get that far on my joutney. Hope you pain eases up soon.

there is a website, makemeheal.com that has some great info on all PS. You will be sore for awhile, and walk hunched over and take it slow. It will get a little better every day. I agree way worse than lap band and I didn't have any muscle tightening or lipo. Good luck and I know you will LOVE the results in a couple of weeks.

all this pain will be SO worth it. Just think how great you are going to look and feel once you are all healed up. Personally I think wintertime is a good time to do this because we are inside hibernating all winter. Pick out some really cute outfits to show off in this spring!
