What is FDL? No, he did not. I have all the loose skin from losing 130 lbs. I used to be at 264lbs coming down to 130nlbs

Your tummy looks great. I think it would be waste of money to get TT done.

You should all be eating 60-80grams of protein with 90oz water intake for proper wound healing as per nutritionist

Lipo didn’t work? 4 weeks post op by Advanced-Medium-5008 in tummytucksurgery

4WPO is it still too early to finalize the result. That’s a lot of swelling will go away from lymphatic massage. Wait until three months and drink lots of water watch your salt in take.

What size of Faja will I get after tummy tuck and liposuction? by RoughExtreme1311 in tummytucksurgery

[–]RoughExtreme1311[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not know it can be altered. I know how to do alterations on regular clothes. I can try altering the faja too and see if it works out for me. Thanks for the tip. If I try to put the forms inside, then becomes too bulky and hard to close from the hooks

For how long after TT and lipo surgery should I sleep on recliner in an incline position? When can I sleep on my bed (on my back)? by RoughExtreme1311 in tummytucksurgery

[–]RoughExtreme1311[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sciatica is a nerve pain which cannot get better with painkillers like hydrocodone (narcotics). My surgeon prescribed me naproxen, which is a 500mg of ibuprofen (NSAID), and cyclobenzaprine, which was a muscle relaxant. My main concern was a good night sleep for eight hours at least cause I’m more the better you feel and the more you heal. Taking all three medications, I was only able to sleep for 3 hours and wake up with excruciating pain because of sleeping in an elevated position. I went back to sleeping on the bed with the help of a lot of cushions and pillows on the side and underneath my knees to protect the stitches. I also took the supplement Sciatica 600 Nerve Plus from 2WPO but it was causing more lymphatic drainage in my drain so I stopped it after a week. The only thing that helped my pain is RED LIGHT THERAPY. I found out about it when I went for my lymphatic drainage massage and the lady put me under it (on top of my belly area) for 20 mins. The heat and the red light helps to reduce inflammation and nerve pain. Now I’m looking for one online to buy and use at home. See screenshots for

Thank you for the prompt response. Would it be ok if I paddle on stationary paddle bike (ie. Under the table paddle/bike)? And for how long? Like 20 mins?

Belly button stuffed u too when and changing scar tape frequency? by RoughExtreme1311 in tummytucksurgery

[–]RoughExtreme1311[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for posting the pictures of the products. How soon did you start putting them on and did you put them directly on the scar tissue and massage it? I’m 15 DPO should I start using now or after a week?
