November 9th... it's definitely getting better but this week I finally ditched my garment. Still have some discomfort. I keep thinking the swelling is better then it's back. My PS said I had significant diastasis recti plus I had to have a double hernia repair so I know it might take a while. the PS was kind of shocked at the separation I had so I guess it was a more challenging surgery than he anticipated. the good news is I will definitely be able to wear a bikini with my 3 little children at the pool!
my belly button is round but totally flat... kinda weird looking... I am up several pounds and totally depressed with the look of my thighs and rear-end... I haven't worked out simply b/c if I do I swell up like a balloon. I know in the end it's going to be worth it but I can't help feeling really down about the whole thing right now. I also have 3 kids and a CRAZY life
Hello ladies I am new to this board - feeling grateful to have found you. I am 3 months post op...had a double hernia repair and full tummy tuck (my muscles were completely detached with siginificant diastasis recti) I went skiing 2 weeks ago - felt pretty good not much swelling so figured I was ready to start working out... now my belly is SUPER swollen - especially the upper part, I have the miserable itching from the inside and in general feel enormous (thighs, butt). It sounds like lots of you have had amazing recovery... any tips?
