I was wondering the recovery time for a T.T???
Has anyone had complications due to a T.T???

I had a TT and was back at work after 2 weeks - half time for a week and then full time. The only complications I had were a couple of spots that got infected but I just did what the dr said to do and they healed.

I had a TT in March was off work for about 2 weeks, but I work at home. I was doing limited work for a couple more weeks and then was back after a month. I am glad I did it.

I had a TT with a lower body lift....so it's a bit more involved. I'm off for 4 weeks, possibly more. I still have a drain in, which usually is removed after 10 days, but can stay in for 3-4 weeks. I also had excessive bleeding and needed a blood transfusion. Hmmm, also gained 20 lbs of fluid in one day. Most of the fluid is off, but I still have quite a bit of belly swelling and still bleeding from one site.

4 to 6 weeks....I also had a hernia repair and then a re- hernia repair within the same month, so I have been out for 2 months....going back to work Monday....I am scared because I don't have my strength back and I am still sore. The swelling just doesn't go away from my abdomen. I took measurements and my hips are actually larger and my waist is also larger. It is very disappointing, but the doctor says final results won't be seen until 6 months out.
