What pain is worse??

Oh lord im obsessing about it. Now ive met with the plastic surgeon it seems so real!! Ive had kidney stones, so I know that kind of pain,  but never an open insision (sp?) All my surgeries have been done lap. I guess the thought of them opening me with the anchor cut, is freaking me out a bit. I will have it done but im getting nervous and its months away!!

Any thoughts??

I've had a full abdominal hysterectomy and I've had kidney stones.  I'll take that big open hysterectomy pain over a kidney stone any day! Linda

I usually can handle alot of pain, and have had years of kidney stones!! Maybe the thought of the big cut is freaking me out lol!!

Hi Kathy, I never had kidney stones but a very serious gallbladder attack that ended in its removal after 3 days of morphine and antibiotics to cure the infection.  I will take the tummy tuck pain everyday and twice on Sunday.  It really isn't so bad and the incision is numb, mine still is, why do you think I got my bellybutton pierced, can't feel a thing there.  The tt is worth it, completely, its incredible, I wouldn't hesitate for a second. Hugs Heidi

Thanks Heidi.

Im waiting for ins approval, but will have my TT in June. I think its the fear of the unknown, but I will have it done. I to have had gallbladder attacks, and had it removed. I think because they have to do the anchor cut, it just seems so big, and having me all open like a slab of meat scares me. Maybe I have to much time on my hands with this week of school off lol!!

Thanks for the input!!!

I had open RNY and kidney stones, and like the other posters, kidney stones are DEFINITELY more painful!
