tt-er's...answers please--how long?
I'm trying to schedule my extended tummy tuck, and work on a school schedule. Is it feasible to think I could do this ona 2-week break and get back to school on time? My surgeon will not do more than 1 procedure at a time, so this is just for the tt. Thanks for your help--it's great to read all the success stories!
Hmmm, two weeks might be a little tough, but three ought to do it. What is your job like? I am a church organist and was back on the organ bench in three weeks. Wasn't at 100%, but I could manage. Best wishes! --Dorothy

I went back after 2 weeks and i should have taken longer. mentally I was ok but physically my body felt otherwise. I am now 3 weeks out and I am only doing half days for another week so ease my body back into things.
Good luck!

I had originally planned on having my TT over our Christmas vacation - plus I was going to take an extra week off for a total of 3 weeks. I'm so glad I wasn't able to do that and had to wait until summer vacation. I'll be three weeks post op on Monday and couldn't imagine going back to work right now! I get so tired so easily. A 15 minute trip to Wal-Mart this evening pretty much wiped me out for the night. I would definitely take as much time as possible and not rush anything. Good luck!

I took off alittle less then 2 weeks, I believe it was 12 days when I returned to work from my extended tt with muscle tightening and my original neck lift. I had no problems other then feeling pretty swollen by the end of the day but I would feel that no matter where I am. I think the part people don't realize or I didn't realize is how long you will swell after a tt, I still get swollen at times and my tt was over 2 years ago. Every month near my period time I get swollen and feel like I did early out.
