September 10, 2008 I had a full TT with muscle tightening also breast reduction with lift and lipo. The pain for me on a scale of 1 to 10 was around 2 or 3. That only lasted a couple of days. They do give you pain medication to help with this.

The worst is the first time they make you walk, which is just a few hours after you get out of recovery. This is so you get your circulation of blood moving. You do not want blood clots. After that it is a piece of cake.

My best advice is if you have the TT do not get discourged when you don't stand up straight right away. Today is day 18 since mine and I still walk a little slumped over. And by late afternoon I am slumped over a little more and worn out for the rest of the day.

Hope this is helped. Good luck on your decision. If you decide to do it make sure you do your homework on your surgeon.
