Good luck with the surgery!! I had a breast lift and breast augmentation in May of 07, wasnt fun at all but the results I couldnt be more pleased with. Just take it easy afterwards!!

Thats a little tricky to answer because when I got my breast lift and breast augmentation I also got my tummy tuck all at the same time.. so it was a bit more intense, I had drains in for about 10 days post op, I had a pain pump pack that they sent me home with that automatically pumped pain meds into the two regions of my body, I had no control over it, it just did it. So I cant say that I was in much pain, but then again I have a very high pain tolerance. The most difficult part was not being able to stand or walk straight up, your hunched over for about a week after a tummy tuck. It was also difficult not being able to shower, having my husband help me with sponge baths for about 10 days. I didnt get to see my new boobs for about a week, they were all wrapped up and bandaged, I looked like a mummy. The band that they have you wear after the bandages come off was a bit of a hinderance, it was just irritating thats all. So the whole thing was not exactly pleasant, but then again I would do it again in a heart beat. I hope that helped...

Thanks Dwindlingflower! Sounds intense having a tummy tuck as well. The drains are the worst part and not looking forward to it. I'm trying to focus on the results :)
