tummy tuck in TWO days - question for the veterans out there
Okay, so it's been 3 1/2 years since my WLS and I'm now FINALLY, after a one-month delay, having plastic surgery (extensive abdominoplasty) this week on Wednesday! 
My question is to the tummy tuck veterans out there: How long did it take after your surgery for you to be comfortable enough to sleep on your side or on your stomach?
I don't sleep much on my back and I'm thinking this is gonna be a pain for me (in more ways than one!  ). Also, did you find sleeping in a recliner more tolerable or was the bed a better way to go.
I've got all my ducks in a row, all my stuff is packed, all the paperwork is done, and now all I have to do is twiddle my thumbs and wait...
...and wait...
...and wait...
Um, the waiting is driving me CRAZY!

No need to be jealous, Tara... I honestly don't think you could be any sexier. You're already drop-dead gorgeous.

Nope, no buttering up from me! Honest!
Thanks! Hopefully I'll be back posting here by the weekend if all goes well (fingers crossed). I'm supposed to be out of the hospital by Friday afternoon...

Nooooo... From what I've deduced, Tara already has a special someone. You could hear my heart breaking all the way to Massachusetts when I found out that bit of information.

Bumping this to the top for the early afternoon crowd... hopefully someone has some first-hand experience to share? Maybe?
