To attempt tummy tuck recovery alone?

I’m seriously considering a tummy tuck to address loose skin after huge weight loss. The only thing that I’m worried about is recovery. I live in a 3rd floor flat with no lift. I would get super organised and make sure I have everything I need in advance but I’m worried I won’t be able to cope alone. No f+f I can call on. My surgeon said I would spend the first two nights at the hospital.

Thank you, I’ll factor that in and ask my surgeon the best way to deal with it. I’m nervous of that too tbh, it’s almost like the time you need your positive mindset the most is when it might up and leave..!

@Cuckooclocks Did you have your surgery and how did it go? Did you manage to get up the stairs? Were you OK?

No way!! I’ve had one . It is horrific. And NOTHING like a c-section which is a walk in the park compared to tummy tuck recovery. You’ll be doing damage if you walk up
Those stairs at all in the first couple of weeks.
