Hi Stu - I'm female, and it took 2 tummy tucks to get my abdomen skin tightened. I was off work 5 days plus 2 weekends. there is some pain associated with healing but the incision is in the skin, not the muscles, so it is not that painful. However, you would be amazed at how much you use your abdominal muscles to drive, and that takes about a month to heal and you must be careful moving the steering wheel. Try to get someone to drive for you/car pool if you can.

Has anyone tried these, and what did you think of them? I don't trust the so-called 'review' sites. Thanks!
