Had the TT with hernia repair and after 3 months can say it was worth it!!!
I paid 10k for what the insurance did not cover.
I am still deciding on the breast ift, quoted 7500k fort hat.
During the tt I also went around to get the love handles, almost got the thigh lift 5500k but did not get it after all.
as far as work goes, I also have a physical job, it is hard but you will have no choice.
It really is hard to keep from lifting and moving stuff, I am a visual mercandiser for a large furniture store, so it was a challenge. Bosses get the lifting requirements from the Doc, but still ahve the same expectations.
You need to do it though, tahe it easy or you will pay for it later. Sometimes I think that is why I got the hernias in the first place. Lifting after the weight loss surgery was not too smart, my huess is you were lifting too soon, also!
Good luck, remember it really hurts, more than I imagined it could. More than wls. But the results are unreal!!
