I had diastasis recti during and after my three pregnancies. 3 fingers at the navel, 2 fingers above and below. I have Ehlers Danlos syndrome, so I hav defective collagen. After intensive training with abdominal binder and pelvic physiotherapist, for months, even wearing, it just fell back open. Surgery is considered cosmetic. So all my organs are slumping forward and leading to Epigastric pain, mild cystocele, rectocele, and low back pain I have an umbilical hernia Would surgery still be considered cosmetic when I now have a diagnosis of Ehlers Danlos syndrome? Thanks
