I am so excited to have this done. I have 2 girls, via c- section. I have lost all the weight i can but like everyone,left with muscle separation and umbiculal hernia.Spelled that wrong probably.Mostly loose skin under bb.

I went to my consult yesterday and LOVE my doc. He seems like he knows what he is taking about and all his pics look awesome.

At this point i weigh about 110. I am about 4'11". I cant wait to have my pre prego body back!!! # weeks till surgery. anyone with tips or info ? I welcome you.

Well, it is about 4 in the am. Morning after my surgery. I feel really great. I cant see too much , but i can tell that my tummmy is super flat! Also that my love bsket are gone from my sides. I cant wait to see what PS says or hopefully shows me tomorrow@2. I am taking my meds , an drinking water like crazy.The thing about that is that u have to pee 3 times an hour but i know that's good forme. Pretty much doing everything now myself. The thing that was the worst when i woke up was my MR,that baby goes from top to bottom and right now i can feel the stitch through my skin on the top where the CG stops.Anyway I'll Try to have him take some pics tom, so i can show you the new me!Thanx so much for the wonderful support!

How exciting for you! I've heard many women recommend a pain pump, getting in shape as much as possible before your procedure and arranging for lots of support and help with the kids during your recovery.

We'd love to see some pictures if you feel comfortable sharing!

I am having surgery april 16th. As f now to prepare for surgery I have been working out my legs, arms, and back. Since we wont be able to use our core muscles. I also have family coming down for three weeks or so to help me out. Good luck with your surgery!

Hey do you have any pics yet? Would love to see your progress!

I would recommend a pain pump. I just had mine done yesterday and I feel amazing with it. My pain is very mild. Make sure you have someone to help you with your girls and yourself. The first 24 hours you be very sleepy and won't be able to stand up straight for a few days. Good luck! I am so excited for you!!
momma2jjandl 9 Apr 2010
I would love to hear more about ur experience along the way. And pics if you can.
brittany88 10 Apr 2010
I updated my post so hopefully the pics will be up soon. I just saw my belly today for the first time and I am SO HAPPY! I think it looks really good even if it is still swollen. :) If you have any questions or anything feel free to email me.
momma2jjandl 16 Apr 2010
Ok, So I posted pics. (before).Lets see how long it will take
sarahg09 16 Apr 2010
good luck hun.. make sure you have help for the first week at least as you will need help getting in and out of bed and help with the house chores and the kids. you dont want to do anything for the first 2 weeks as u might harm the recovery and get into complications. i am 18 days post op today and just starting to show signs of recovery. and as i have told everyone in other posts my biggest complaint is not being able to stand straight and now i have back and neck discomfort. Good luck babe and keep us updated.

sarahg09 16 Apr 2010
wow your before pictures are awsome. you dont have any stretch marks. im sure your results will be beautiful

I will be thinking of you, April 28 is comming soon. Get as much done before surgury so you have less to worry about. I orgainized and cleaned everything in my condo. Make sure you have extra pillows. I forgot to get apple juice & especially stool softners. If you take pain meds take a softner daily also or you will regret it when you get to day 4 and have constipation I found out too late. Stock up on halls, you don't want to cough, I was glad I had some as I needed them. I also found the long shoehorn I had came in great for scratching and even used it when I wanted to adjust my blankets but could not bend over. I carried that thing everywhere the first 4 days. Good luck and hope you have a speedy recovery.

Your surgery was yesterday! Thinking about you today and hoping you're healing nicely, have lots of help and aren't too sore.

Looking great! Keep us posted. I am 9 days post op. I am feeling much better today. However, I was given another round of antibiotics for my pink navel. Hopefully that is resolved shortly.
