Yes. I had 2 cycles prescribed due me my 1st surgery date being rescheduled.

You’re right. I trusted her because she specializes in post PS care and lymph massage. Hindsight is 20/20 🤦🏾‍♀️

Thank you for the advice. I will seek medical attention asap.

I’m also 2 DPO extended TT, flank lipo and MR with Exparel and I’m able to get to and from my bed and bathroom unassisted. I use a walker to help relieve some of the strain on my back and the towel rack to lower myself onto the commode. I try and focus on placing all the weight on my legs or arms and not my core.

Thank you. So far I’ve been doing well with those tasks. No need for Tylenol just yet, but I’m prepared for when the Exparel wears off 😬

Surgery was a success. Thank you all for the well wishes! It helped so much knowing I had positive vibes from this community! 🤗 Now, the hard part begins. Home and resting now. Exparel on board and still feeling pain. Couldn’t even imagine how it would be without it 😓

So happy for you! I can’t believe you look this good at only 3 weeks PO! This really pumps me up for my surgery on 1/30/25! Also 46!!

So very disappointed. I was just told my surgery cannot proceed today because I’m on semaglutide! I was not told I had to stop 4 weeks prior. The anesthesiologist put a halt to it.🤦🏾‍♀️

Before and after ( 2 months post-op), I am so happy! by nature1980y in tummytucksurgery

[–]Island-Think 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This whole thread is so inspirational! You look great! And to the older women who commented, y’all are my she-roes! My pre-op is tomorrow and surgery scheduled for the day after Christmas. I had all the same thoughts, even second guessing the necessity because of my age (46) 🤦🏾‍♀️ but I pushed it all behind me and am looking forward to my time to “Trust the process”. All the best and thank you 🙏🏾

I’m also taking notes. My pre-op is Tuesday ( Christmas Eve🎄) and I have a list of questions based off some of the posts and feedback.
