HI everyone .. New to Plastic Surgery Forum

I just had a extended tummy tuck & Panni on 1/23. It's been such a crappy recovery. 

 

The binding is driving me insane. It's so damn tight. Any recommendations. I know I have 6 weeks of this. 

 

Highest recorded weight: 420 Pounds, Surgery weight RNY: 11/2/2011 Current weight before Plastics: 162 pounds

 

 

Awesome weight loss! I am getting fdl/lbl on 2/11. Hoping for an easy recovery but know it will be challenging. I too am
Not looking forward to the compression garment and drains! Ugh! But this too will pass! Good luck!

Maybe I'm weird....but that binder made me feel good. It kept me all shoved together and I felt better like that!

What else has made your recovery bad??

I had my TT back in October. I had necrosis and still dressing my wound from that, but it's not too bad, it's just part of my normal routine at this point. I don't even think about it anymore.

Make sure you get plenty of protein while you're healing

Is it a binder or a compression garment.  I could not wear the binder after my extended TT, I had to get a compression garment.  My surgeon bought me two from this website.
