What can I expect from my upcoming tummy tuck surgery?

Please share your tummy tuck experience. (Mine's scheduled for August 6, to remove a typical baby-pooch after having two babies.)

How quickly were you able to resume normal activities? I have a 4- and 6-year-old and am not sure how long I'll need someone to help out with them.

What was your recovery like? Horrible? Manageable?

What kind of medication did you take for pain? I'd like to avoid narcotics since they space me out; do you think I could manage on just tylenol or motrin?

Any added tips or recommendations would be wonderful.

Thanks for your input!
