Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Hi Janna, who did your Tummy Tuck? I am researching Docs. Went for a consult with Pardington. Love to know your thoughts about your surgeon. Dr. Montgomery 05/06/04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Hi! I had a abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) from hip to hip 2 weeks ago along with a breast lift and I was wondering from those that have had one how long until you started exercising and doing normal activities again. I still have one drain and lots of swelling. I can't believe that it has been only 5 1/2 months and I have a completely different body. I went from an XL to a small. Thanks, Janna 192/139/130 Dr. Watkins 3/30/2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Please ask your doc about this. Only he knows the extent of your surgery. Exercising before areas are well-healed has caused drains to come out and then needing to be surgically replaced, swelling to increase, wounds to open up, infections to take hold, and more. You've done great, so don't risk messing things up now! Walking should be ok soon, and this is still one of the best forms of exercise. Just out of curiosity, what was your starting BMI?

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 My starting BMI was almost 35%, but I had lots of comorbitities. I couldn't lose weight before the band even exercising an hour a day. Thankfully with the band I have lost almost all my excess weight in just 5 months!
