Questions for you plastics vets

I had a TT with the vertical and horizontal incisions and brachioplasty last October.  I had a desk job - and returned to work after 18 days.  I went back to full days right away.  It was not an issue at all.

I was very tired at the end of the day - I left right on time (kinda counted down the last hour or so!) for the first couple of days, but then was back to normal.

I have a high pain tolerance for sure - but the TT muscle part was the most painful for me.  It was only an issue (needing pain meds) for about 5 days.  I slept in my recliner those days because it would have been hard for me to move around to get into position on my bed.  I didn't have trouble getting up and down from a chair or toilet - I was worried about the "scooching" you need to do to get onto the bed and turned into position.  But I was fine for that after 5 days too - if you're in Mexico for 14days, you should be fine for a regular chair and your own bed when you get home.

Good luck!

Thanks Erica!

BTW, I love your new boob size!!!  My doctor said I'll be a full B cup (no implant). I'm soooo looking forward to that, lol.

I had tummy tuck with vertical incision with muscle tightening and took 4 weeks off.  I could have gone back at 3, but since I had 4 approved I took it.  I also had a desk job.

I didn't use a recliner.  I was going up and down stairs (carefully) after 2 days.  I slept in a regular bed and was able to get in/out by myself.

Spending 2 weeks in Mexico, I'm sure when you get home you'll be feeling much better. 

Jody, thanks for sharing. I'm confident now that I'll be good to go.

Hugs!

Ireturned to work at 3 weeks after TT sept 22 last year.
The most harder part was sitting whole day, in the end off the day I was in such pain and can not move.
It took almost 1 month to get really comfortable for me after long day at work.

Thanks Alla. I guess I'll have to split my lunch hour, sleeping & walking, so I don't get sore sitting all day.
