6 Days Out (Pics on Profile)
Thanks for sharing. I went in for a consultation the other day, still waiting for the information from the surgeon. I lost close to 200 lbs, so I am looking at a TT, BR (for saggy chest skin) and some lipo around the back- love handle area. Is that pretty much what you had done (besides the chest)? Was the pain debiliatating or when you were resting was it tolerable? Did you have any muscle work, or was it all skin?
Thanks,
Mike

Hey Mike,
I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair. So basically that was it, they just cut me hip to hip. The left flank for some reason was a little more than the right so the PS cut more towards the back to even it out. Pain - yeah, at 3 days I was freakin miserable, third day out was the worst for me. I am 1 week out today and the pain level is about half of what it was maybe less, very manageable. The PS told me he removed 4 lbs of skin and fat. So good luck to you and keep us posted.

Hey Don,
PS said I could take up to 4 weeks without the gear, but I'm taking 5, when I come back to work full duty it will be week 6 and I work like 3-4 days and then off for 4 days, so I think it will work out really well, that's the way I planned it, plus it being August now, so I get to have the hottest month of the year off. I will go back to work full duty mid September.

Paul, while I was a bit caught off guard, its great that you posted. No doubt there were other men who came by for a peek, but not brave enough to reply. But I think they (men) have to wonder what they would look like.

Congratulations!
