Hope this helps....i had a TT in March. Now i am soooo happy
I do have to say with out the support of my boyfriend it would of been difficult. I can only speak for myself. My doctor told me i had swelled more then anyone he had ever seen. I had a complete TT, not sure if there is a difference but i was cut hip to hip. I had a lot of stretch marks so the doctor pulled down as much as possible. I also had lypo on my hips and " love handles". That is where i swelled the most. I am not gonna lie. To me it was really bad the first night. They give you good meds. So take them right away. I also got a pain pump which released a numbing agent into skin. I was mental for a little. I think it was the pain, and the compression suit and the meds...they made me itch and so nauseas. I know this sounds all bad but i am soooooooo happy with the results. It was all worth it. I was off for 2 weeks. I have an office job. I also waitress at night but had to wait about 2 months to do that. Dont force your self to sit straight up. It will come. I still have parts of my belly that are numb...HOPEFULLY that will heal

. I hope this helps. Everyone is different. I just thank god my boyfriend was there. OH make sure to take stool softener right away. Meds and anesthesia make stools hard
