Wow what a wonderful site.  I wish I would have found this before my surgery. Hearing the same concerns I have had and no one to ask that had experienced the surgery or going to have the same surgery.  This is great to be able to talk to others that understand.  I had surgery on Nov 6th.  I had a full TT and lipo.  My incision is from one dimple of my back all around to the other dimple. And I get my last drain out tomorrow. Nervous the first one did not hurt at all but this one has been in a week longer. I have felt great other than my back hurt from laying on it all the time. My husband was with me for the first four days and then I was on my own during the day.  I was fine.  I have slept in a recliner up until Saturday the 15th.  Could not do it anymore.  I am in bed but the hard thing is getting out of bed in the morning. I hate having to rely on my husband standing there helping me to sit up and get out of bed. I am still sleeping on my back.  And a little nervous to lay on my side for some reason. But I thinking there has got to be a easier way than to sit straight up in bed the muscles in my back burn when I sit up like someone lit a match and started my skin on fire.  Any suggestion?

All of you having surgery soon.  The best of luck.  I was to nervous but excited.  And thing are going great.
