Hi,
i'm booked in to have surgery jan 3rd 2012 for a tummy tuck i am seeing posts about cushions and things and i am just wondering what will i need to buy prior to my surgery? Also i'm worried that my tummy is going to be flat and a front view of my body wont look in proportion will my love handles look huge? i'm still losing weight i currently weigh 166lbs and i'm hoping to get under 154llbs. Any adive would be great thanks

In my opinion I waited unti lmy weight had settled and I had stopped losing because my body changed a lot for about 4 months after I had stopped losing.  As a matter of fact I lost another size 4 months after I had stopped losing.  

I have large hips as well, and although I will be addressing them through PS in December, but I had abdominplasty a couple of weeks ago and we kept talking about they would be more obvious for a little while.  She ended up extending the incision so she could take a little bit becuae of the "extra stuff" on the sides.

I'm 10 days out from a FTT,MR and lipo to the flanks and abdomen. I would recommend having atleast 3 pillow for under your legs, and a recliner was a must for me...and still is. Just FYI the back is the killer part. If you have a family member to rub your back, you will be okay! :) I needed a potty lifter for the first two days, sure was nice not to have to sit all the way down. lol They are about 15.00 at wlamart. Other than a glass of water, pain meds,pain pump! and some hard candy to suck on...I was good to go! Actually today I went out to eat at Chili's! (And wore myself out!) Quite not ready yet....Just my 10 day  experience...

Wish you well in early 2012
