Hi - I had a tummy tuck with a diastasis recti repair and a breast reduction last June. I allowed for all of the healing time, didn't push it and tried to really take care of myself. After I got out of surgery, I weighed 219, my husband died in November so I had a lot of stress. I went to go see the surgeon in Jan to ask about how I looked, now I look like I have a basketball on my front, and it looks like I have my hump back. I weigh 223.
