I'm having a tummy tuck on Feb 20. This is the only date ever to make this happen. It can't be delayed and I have to have this done. My plan was to wean before the end of January but I'm not sure either of us is ready. I am a normal BMI, the baby weight is gone and my baby is 19.5lbs and 9.5 months old. Can I still breastfeed him? Actually sit up straight in the first few days to pump/dump to keep my supply? What meds will I take and how long until I can safely breastfeed him? I feed once a day.

I think aside from that muscle separation that you see, you have an excellent tummy tuck result. I would show these photos to your surgeon and discuss a revision with muscle repair all the way up. Good luck.
The labs you need depend on your type of anesthesia, your age and your medical issues and symptoms.
Contact your surgeon overseas and find out what labs are needed and if they will accept the results. If they will, send the results ahead of time to be sure all issues are covered and no...
Thank you for your question. The vibrating recliner is probably safe and comfortable after a tummy tuck. Foot massagers have not been tested for blood clot prevention. I would advise discussing other VTE prevention strategies with your surgeon. Good luck.
