Tummy Tuck, Lipo and Breast Lift - How bad did you feel?
Having tummy tuck, breast lift and some lipo along the back of my hips on March 16th. How bad did you feel - and what did you do to keep yourself from being too active too soon (Im in love with excersizing and training for 5k so sitting around is gonna be difficult!).
Also - how long did it take to get back into preop clothing without pain?

Well while the drains are in somewhere between one and two weeks you won't want to do anything anyway-
I did not feel bad at all just tight and sore didn't really realize that I was not standing up straight for the first few weeks- the biggest thing is to reat and not to do too much as if you do you will swell more and have fluid build up and you don't want them to have to go in with a big needle and remove it- I am pretty active and I found it quite easy this time around to rest it is a big suregy I have had my feet operated on, the sleeve, gallbladder, hysterectomy and each time I was able to go right away after this surgery I did not feel bad did noreally hurt but I was exhausted and it was easy to stay down, That is until about the 1 month mark then I had to remind myself not to do too much.
Best wishes to you on your joiurney.
