Ronit,

I took about three and a half weeks... but I had a bladder lift and thigh lift

in addition to the extended TT. I could have used more time, but I got a new job

that I needed to start. I was a bit uncomfortable the first couple of weeks, but

it was manageable.

Everyone is really different, though. You never know how something will affect

you. A good guideline is how you have recovered from other surgeries relative to

the time you were given to expect you would need.

hugs,

Ann

I went back to work 7 days after my extensive abdominoplasty (almost all

the way around), brachioplasty, and burn scar revision.

(http://tinyurl.com/kr2f for photos of what I had done). I had 10 feet

of incisions that were healing up nicely and only two drains by the time

I went back to work. I wish I'd taken one more week off, but really,

it's a toss-up. It was incredibly hot in my three-story

un-air-conditioned townhouse, which took a lot out of me, so in some

ways, sitting here in my very air conditioned office was easier than

being at home in bed!

YMMV. I think I recover unusually quickly from surgery and stuff... I

drove my sister to the airport twelve hours after I delivered my 8

pound, 10 ounce daughter at home (no drugs), was ready to go back to

work 10 days after my RNY, went back to work 8 days after my cornea

transplant (normal recovery time 2-4 weeks), etc.

How did you recover from your gallbladder removal? Your knee

replacement? I'm willing to bet that your tummy tuck recovery time will

fall somewhere between the two of those, since gb is usually pretty easy

and the knee, I hear, can be pretty tough.

Those who have Abdominoplasty about how long are you laid up out of

work?

Would a realistic time to return to work be about 3 weeks? I don't lift

and can accommodate my job to mostly sitting as I have to do that now

because I am still recuperating from my knee replacements.

Any suggestions would be appreciated
