Not as bad as expected tummy tuck breast lift and implants

I read alot about experiences on the boards and I was thinking it was going to be way worse than it has been.  The first two days there was alot of pain but since then besides having to walk hunched over which hurts your lower back pain is really controlled with medication.  I haven't had any problems so far knock on wood.  I am really happy with my results and can't believe I am going to be even thinner when the swelling goes down.  They took off 13 and a half pounds.  Very excited to see final results. So anyone having these surgeries it may not be as bad as you think

Thank you, thank you for this post!! I am having a tummytuck with muscle tightening tomorrow, and if I think about it too long, I start to freak out!!

So, I needed your post!!

Thank you, and continued success!!

good luck tomorrow! Wishing you an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery!

you can definately tell where they tightened the muscles your stomach will feel very tight.  Good luck with your surgery and hopefully a speedy recovery!!!!:)

I also had an extended tt with lipo and an arm lift on October 20, got home a few days ago.  The level of pain was NO BIG DEAL.  Seriously, I have had 4 c-sections, and although it was similar to that, the hospital did an awesome job of pain control, and since day 4 I have not taken anything at all for pain.
Is there soreness?  Discomfort?  Yes, but not pain.....and I'm an old geezer (51)

Good luck, positive thoughts!

Happy to hear things are going so well for you I am amazed you were off your pain meds so soon.  I am still taking pain meds but only at night.  Thank you for your response:) wishing you a continued successful recovery

thanks for sharing- I am doing my plastics in January- not nervous about the prcedure but rather the recovery period. happy to hear you are feeling well!

OMG! I would be so stoked if they took 13 pounds off of me!  I wish you a speedy recovery!

Thank you:)

I'm glad to read about your experience...

My LBL is scheduled on Wednesday and the only thing that I'm nervous about is the pain.  Respectfully nervous, not off the hook terrified.  I had breast reduction surgery years ago, and while painful, was definitely manageable.

 

It's good to hear your situation.
