I had a consultation about a month after I thought I was at goal (I lost a few more pounds between then and surgery). So I was just a couple of months out from goal when I did it (and was very happy I did).

Topic: RE: Post op tummy tuck.

I'm sure either will work. I used a foam wedge (purchased via Amazon) on the couch and later when transitioning to bed, with a pillow under my knees. I found that quite comfortable. I didn't have a recliner and didn't want to rent/borrow one. Pillows alone without something more substantial might not work as well as a wedge because they might slip.

This is the one I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009HHLBKK/ref=oh_aui_deta ilpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Topic: Scheduling Surgery Date?

How far out did you schedule your surgery? I have 10 lbs. more to loose but it's coming off sooooooo slow.

Topic: Post op tummy tuck.

Hey everyone.

Mai I'm scheduled to have my tummy tuck after losing 110 pounds on June 14. And my question is, is it better to be in a chair/ recliner or propped up with pillows in bed for recovery?

Topic: RE: I?m alive!

Congrats!!! I had a consult with Dr Katzen last month and really liked him. Now I'm trying to figure out when to have surgery and which procedures first. Are you staying at his recommended recovery center, and if so, for how long?

Topic: RE: I?m alive!

Stay medicated! I'm dreading getting up. Still laying down with the Lovenox shots to prevent blood clots. The catheter is a godsend. So happy to not get up to pee.

everything feels sooo tight. And even my hands and arms are swollen and they didn't do anything ti them.

Weird, but my inner elbows are so sore from being stretched out for so long!

i won't lie, it really hurts. But my doctor said it should get exponentially better every day. Looking forward to that.
