I am 37 year old , mother of 11 and 2. I had complicated c section 2 years ago with terrible scar in the lower abdomen. I went to my ps for scar revision. He found out I have a small umbilical hernia and abdominal muscle also separated. He suggests I should have abdominoplasty done.

I certainly understand your fear considering what you have been through in the past with surgery. But this is a different procedure and you are healthy so try to stay calm. Keep the happy positive thoughts coming:)
You will feel so much better having the hernia fixed along with the muscle tightening. I really don't think it matters what size you are currently wearing. A pouch is a pouch and it never feels good having that poking out from under the clothes. The pregnancies are never easy on our bodies so one must take action.
How nice that you were able to pick your surgical team! November 18th will be here soon enough so please keep us updated.
