#ITEMS NEEDED FOR TUMMY TUCK RECOVERY SKIN#

Going through a significant weight loss, pregnancy and childbirth can result in softened skin due to pregnancy hormones and a separation of the вЂњ6 packвЂќ abdominal muscles.

LetвЂ™s ward off the anxiety by helping you prepare with a thorough explanation of the procedure as well as a complete tummy tuck checklist. Quite often, anxious feelings creep up due to fear of the unknown and not understanding what to expect. You are likely feeling excited about the new you, and anxious about the actual procedure. If you are like most, you have probably been contemplating whether or not to go through with it for a while. I loved the convenience and used each of the binders while my tummy was so swollen and sore.Deciding to schedule a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a huge and very personal decision. It came with the binder, the pocket binder, cold/hot packs and a laundry wash bag. вЂњThe store packaged the binders together to make it easy. It was extra relief for my tender belly.вЂќ The one from the store had a pocket for my cold pack. In fact, I kept my tummy pillow with me and it protected me from my fur babies who liked to share the couch with me. вЂњDonвЂ™t forget a Tummy pillow! When you cough or sneeze, hold it against your tummy anytime you need extra support or protection. вЂњThe Perfect Pocket Binder at the Hysterectomy Store was indeed вЂ“ perfect! It came with an ice pack that can be frozen or heated. In my recovery basket I kept: tissue, lip balm, my hospital papers, phone, pad of paper, pen, a place to write down when I had last taken my pain meds and a few water bottles.вЂќ

вЂњI put a basket near me in bed and moved it next to the sofa as I moved from one spot to the other. I found Gas X, lots of water and walking helped me the most.вЂќ вЂњFor lounging around the house, I loved my loose fitting night gowns or long t-shirts.вЂќ вЂњMy husband put a bell next to my bed for me to call for help! It made me giggle since I could text him on my phone, too!вЂќ You want the panties snug but not so tight they hurt.вЂќ If you get some, consider sizing up slightly to accommodate your swollen belly. When I wore them, my вЂњswelly bellyвЂќ felt supported as I walked around. I found the storeвЂ™s support panties were a great help to me. I wanted to get back to work as soon as possible.

The mesh ones from the hospital were nice enough but after the first week or so, I wanted my own underwear.вЂќ вЂњMy favorite thing was having a few pair of Granny Panties. They got me back on my feet and out the door with support so I could go back to work after the first 2 weeks after laparoscopic hysterectomy.вЂќ вЂњThe Post-op Panty was my favorite thing. The pillow I purchased a couple weeks before surgery at Walmart, and the hospital gave me the cup.вЂќ вЂњI found I most вЂњneededвЂќ two things: my body pillow and a big plastic cup with a lid and a straw. IвЂ™ve also been known to put the ice pack inside my shirt if IвЂ™m having a hot flash. I used them multiple ways for my surgery recovery and then I keep them in the freezer for any aches and pains on me or the family. At first I used a sack of frozen peas and then I ordered the cold/heat packs from the store. Here are some suggestions from our customers: Are there any вЂњMUST HAVESвЂќ that I should purchase for my upcoming surgery?
