What is the likelihood of not having muscle repair if I have never been pregnant?

By ads1221 on 20 Jun 2012

I am going for my consultation on Monday and was wondering if it is possible to not need muscle repair since I have never been pregnant.  I have lost 100 pounds through diet and exercise.  Thanks for any advice.

I had my surgery on June 22nd, and my surgeon said I did not need the muscle repair. I have one daughter (she is 21 now). I have come down from my top weight of 260 pounds 6 years ago to my goal of 150, and have been exercising a lot and strength training trying to get some muscle definition - everything is looking great, except for my tummy. Now, one week post-op, I am doing well. Minimal swelling, and I had my surgery and went back to work (albeit creeping around) the following Monday...

Sorry - that should say that I had my surgery on Friday and went back to work the following Monday...
