Just wondering..have you lost any lbs post op? (I am hoping for a few!) was the first few days just terribly painful? were you in hospital? (thanks for letting me ask questions!)
Thanks,Patty

Hi,
I really didn't do this to lose weight, so no I have not been on the scale.
I opted to stay overnight in the hospital, I have a 3 year old and it just seemed like the best thing to do. Even without having a child I would recommend it if it's not too expensive. It was nice to be monitored the first 24 hours. It's a big operation.
The first few days it was very uncomfortable and some pain. Around day three the soreness really peaks. Think of being in a car accident , you feel the soreness and stiffness later. I was off narcotics by day 5 and off Tylenol by day 7. The most uncomfortable part was lower back from being hunched over and laying so much. Gets better quickly after you are able to straighten up more. All ver bearable and gets better each day, just get your mind prepared for discomfort the first week.
Best of luck. Ask anything you want.

Thank you!
Now keep in mind I'm not that big around, but from incision to incision there is about 6 or7 inches. So think butt crack and about 3 inches on both sides.
