Tummy Tuck

Has anyone had one done. How was the recovery? Are the drains as bad as the sound? Do you regret having it done?

    I had mine done because my last child wrecked my body. There was no way the skin would tighten back up, it had to be removed. The recovery was painful, there's no way around this. I had good drugs that really helped with the pain, and was able to go back to work in a couple weeks. In fact I was at work with my drain still in. The drain was fairly gross, but the worst part was mine was stitched in and it pulled when I moved wrong. That was much worse than the gross-ness. It took about 4-6 months for all the swelling to go down and I was able to feel no pain what-so-ever doing any physical activity. Do I regret having it done? NO!! Not at all!

    I have been wanting a tuck for a long time. The only thing that stops me is the money.
