A good night's rest is important before surgery. A sleeping pill is generally fine, but I don't recommend trying a new medication.

That's a common question and should be no problem, just check with your surgeon first. And make sure you take the pill early enough in the evening that you are alert in the morning. I had one patient sleep through her surgical time and miss the procedure.

Thank you for your question. Generally the answer is no. Diastasis recti repair is part of a tummy tuck which is not covered by insurance. If you have a true hernia, that will typically be covered by your insurance company and can be combined with a tummy tuck if you wish. Best to check wit...
