Answers:

tummy tucks can be excrutiatingly painful, depending on how much tissue must be removed, and implants also can cause considerable pain, the two together, well I am sure you get the picture. Be aware tho, that as long as you get out of bed and move about, the pain will lessen every day. The longer you remain in bed and refuse to move, the more it will hurt when you do, and the longer the pain will last. Movement encourages healing, and helps the circulation remove the results of inflammation so the pain lessens on a daily basis. They will provide you with pain medication, that will lessen the pain, but don't expect it to remove all pain, it won't. It is major surgery you are having, if you follow the instructions of your nurses and your doctor, you should do fine. But, if you refuse to move, if you refuse to cough and deep breath and do all that is necessary to heal, you will find it a long hard painful road, instead of a short hard painful road.
