3 day out - panni & tt anchor cut ACK !
Had muscle tightening too. All of you who do multiple procedures all at once my hat is off to you. I'm doing well and as of today taking mostly xtra strenght tylenol during the day and pain pills at night, but not every 4 hours. Mostly just sore and not real easy to move. I'm walking every couple of house though and drinking a lot.
I had almost 17 lbs taken off ... WOW... but have some swelling so it's not all showing up on the scales yet. Not real worried about that, just want to heal and feel more like normal. Hopefully within a day or two I'll start feeling better. I'm resting a lot so will update again within a day or two.
this surgery is not for sissies! LOL

Congrats on your surgery, I promise you will LOVE it when the worst has passed!! My PS also found a baseball size umbilical hernia that he repaired along with my extended TT, muscle repair and lipo. So, I know where you're coming from. Take it easy, keep your drain lines stripped and take your stool softeners. I know it's a bummer for the pounds not to show yet, but they will be gone soon. Best wishes!!

Sending positive vibes your way because I trully know how you feel. I didn't have the anchor cut but I had the rest and 17 lbs was removed from my stomach alone. I was one of the one's that did two procedures together so trust me when I tell you it wasn't easy. However, after the first week things do begin to settle down. Now I can see some of the benefits of only having to recover once. It appears to me that my tt is healing faster than my arms. I wonder why? maybe because I'm using my arms too much. Be comforted by that fact that it does get better and you are not alone.
