Posted 26 Apr 2011
Hi I'm new to this am scheduled to have the above and am nervous about 5 hours of anaestesia and recovery. Have had 3 c sections wondering how it all compares to c section recovery is it too much to do both procedures at the same time? Any advice appreciated particularly if anyone has had this done by the same doctor thanks!

Just trust in your doctor on the amount of procedures that can be done. He would not put you in any danger or do more than you could/should handle.
The anesthesia is such a controlled environment and completely safe. I would not worry about that at all.
As far as the C-Section comparison goes...the tummy tuck was much worse for me. But that was due to the muscle tightening. There is no doubt that this is a long and hard recovery. But it is all temporary and will come to an end and you will end up with a nice flat and tight tummy. It is so worth all of the short term pain.
