Mother of 2 Toddlers Gets a Tummy Tuck and Hysterectomy - Austin, TX

  • posted 1 year ago

I had a partial hysterectomy and full tummy tuck...

I had a partial hysterectomy and full tummy tuck August 2nd. I stayed over night in the hospital. It's crazy to me that they would actually send you home after such a surgery. I would highly recommend staying at least one night. I had some nausea the first 12 hours but over all it wasn't to bad. I was able to recover at a friends house with my mom for the first 5 days. I have 2 toddler boys at home under the age of 3. Prescheduling lots of help is key.

I'm now 7 days post op and today I get my drains out and all stitches which seems more bothersome than the incision itself. Biggest challenge is not being able to pick up the kids or bend over.

Great review?
