tummy tuck questions

Hi everyone, I am scheduled for tummy tuck/hernia repair on Nov. 22nd and am curious about recovery time others have experienced? Trying to arrange childcare and get the house cleaned beforehand, etc. What else should I be thinking about?? (Totally excited and panicking at the same time.) Also, anyone use their WLS surgeon for plastics? If anyone here has used Dr. Harrington, I would love to hear about your experience. Thanks. -BJ 300/157/150???

Hey BJ~~~ It was great catching up with you last month at Diane's. You look marvelous. Suggestion -post your question in the PS forum, and search the questions. Some have posted lists of things to consider/take care of/have on hand for recovery. Take care, Laura

Hi Laura, thanks for the compliment -- I thought you looked awesome! I have been meaning to pull together my "quotes" from PS (Ricardo Rodriguez from GBMC) so you can look at them next time at Diane's . . . just so you know, he did tell me he would have his office manager submit claim pre-operatively to see if anything would fly. -BJ 300/157/150??? TT scheduled 11/22 woohooooo

Barbara, I had abdominoplasty with muscle tightening on Aug. 31. While your recovery time and level of disability depends on your general fitness level (I exercise like a maniac and I credit that for my quick, uneventful recovery), you can see details of my recovery on my profile (scroll down to near the bottom). Best of luck. Kasey 365/210/195 (nonop)
