TT -- pretty uneventful 3 weeks out

I had my tummy tuck 3 weeks ago today.

I put on (button and zipped) my regular, size 8 capri's today.

I lost about 100 pounds 15 years ago --- gained it all back and a bit more.
I had my band surgery almost 3 years ago and lost 130 pounds.

My tummy was big in my eyes, but nothing that insurance would consider covering.
I had a flap that covered my belly button -- and an apron below it.

My surgery was in an outpatient facility -- about 2 hours under anesthesia for the whole procedure.
I did not have any drains, and I did have a pain pump inserted.  The pain pump lasted about 2 days.

I went back for a wound check the day after surgery and then again at 10 days post op (I go back again next week).

I resumed working from  home (project management) after 11 days -- could have used 2 or 3 more, I took alot of breaks on the first few days.

Overall, I feel great.  I am back to walking about an hour a day.
At first, I had some referred pain in my right thigh (just above the knee) but that has resolved itself and I am pain free.

I know that everyone has their own experience --- and I have read some stories that are scary.
I am so grateful to have had no complications (yet, at least) and to be healing quickly.

I just wanted some of you who are researching to see a side of this that is easier than most seem to be. 

As soon as I figure out how to post pictures, I will show a before/after.

Congratulations!  Glad to hear about your easy recovery.  I go for my first consult on Wednesday for TT or LBL.

That is exactly the outcome I want!  Thanks for sharing your experience, and I can't wait to see your pics!

You had such a positive experience.  I look forward to seeing photos.

The very first post that I have read on this forum and it was exactly what I was hoping to read!  Congratulations and thank you for your post!  I will be meeting with my surgeon in June for a referral for plastics!

I thought mine was pretty easy also, and I was under for a long time because I had my tt and neck lift done together at a teaching hospital.  I was already out shopping for new clothes at 3 weeks out.  I still wear that first dress I bought post tt, it was so sweet to have a perfectly flat stomach for the first time ever and it doesn't get old ever.  My tt was done back in 2006 and I still love it.
