WORTH IT$6,000
I'm a mom with four kids all delivered by c-sections. I gained alot of weight with each of them but always managed to lose it after each of them. Now that I'm done with having kids I really want to work on myself.
I'm 34 and workout and just cant get my stomach in shape. I hate trying on clothes and just want to be able to put a shirt on that doesnt cling to my stomach! I feel guilty about this surgery but I feel if I dont do it now I'll never do it.
I would love for any info on recovery and what I need to get. I will be recovering at home with my four kids but my husband is taking off from work to help me. This site has helped alot! Any info would help about having a tummy tuck and the recovery process!! So nervous!!

I spent 3 nights away from home. Slept as much as I could. It wasn't bad day of surgery, days 1 & 2 were tough. I had a c section with my twins and this was def more intense and I found a c section to be very easy. I am 10 days post op now and feeling great! It's worth it!! Good luck!

I haven't had the surgery yet but here are the things I've gotten for the recovery: heating pad (for back aches), rented a recliner that will completely stand me up so I won't have to use stomach muscles, fruits veggies saltine crackers sparkling water, have to get kiwis as I've read they help prevent blood clots afterward (eat 2-3 a day), smooth move tea to help with constipation, large cotton granny underwear to tuck my drain into, lots of dvd's and movies to watch haha, what else.....i'll write more if I think of anything else

Oh I'm also getting a Brazillian Wax tomorrow so I won't have to deal with in-grown hairs from the razor.

Do u know where your drains will be? I think I'm going to ask him to put in pubic area.. Just don't want them coming out the incision. Had a friend have a TT and her PS told her to eat a lot of pineapple before and after for swelling. Gotta go get more fruits n veggies but I've got the granny panties ready..LOL!!

I don't know where my drain will be, I do know I will only have one though. The Physician Assistant told me I need to shave as much as I could because they'll be somewhat down there so I'm just getting it all waxed.

My drain is on my left hip...coming out my incision and I gotta say...I don't feel A THING. I had my surgery 5 days ago, and the drain still isn't a bother, not at all. I did have the pain pump drains coming out of my pubic area and THOSE hurt. I definitely felt those. I know everyone is different, but from my experience I would have him put the drains at the end of your incision site.
