Fibroid Weight Loss
Have any women out there had a tummy tuck (mine would be associated with hernia surgery)?
The tummy tuck is not for weight loss reasons – I am not even close to being heavy – I had a hysterectomy 2 years ago due to major complications from a huge fibroid. Although I healed great inside (which, of course, is of major importance) I healed horrible on the outside. I have and incisional hernia and can have a tummy tuck to correct the horrible healing from the other surgery. I does make me a bit nervous. Any feedback??
Hi !
I had a tummy tuck done in July, but mine was for weight loss reasons, so I am not sure if the procedure is the same, but I’ll share my experience anyway.
I did not think the pain was bad at all. The thing that hurt the most was my BACK because I was hunched over for awhile. The most important thing is to get up and get moving the NEXT DAY. The quicker your body learns to move with it’s new mid-section, the better! Also, I’m not sure if you will have them, but there are “drains” that they put in for about a week. THOSE are not fun, and you will feel SO MUCH BETTER once they are removed. My scar is from hip to hip, but low, so it’s under my bikini panty line.
Not sure if you will go through the same type of surgery, but if you do, don’t worry about it. I had a wonderful experience and I’m very happy with my results.
Hope this helped, and feel free to contact me if you have more specific questions!
