Hello everyone, your experiences have helped me so much and encouraged me to share. I have been wanting to get a tummy tuck for a while now. I had my first child at 20 and the other 2 two years apart. I had 2 c-sections with my last two children and one of which they messed up. I try my best to eat right and my lifestyle makes hard to get a workout in consistently, I try to go at least a minimum of twice a week. I have been working on this belly for years, but still cant get it to go anywhere.Honestly I'm very nervous about the recovery but super excited to see results. I am hoping to lose 20 pounds before surgery, so I can have better results and a healthier me.I'm scheduled to go in about mid March.

I wish you all the best on your journey! The best item I got after my procedures was a "grabby stick." After surgery its advisable not to bend over too much. You'll be surprised how often you drop 2things. I still use mine to grab things I can't reach. Also helpful is a heating pad & ice pack. Good luck!

My advice is to get a walker it saved my back some. Also another binder/garment. I couldn't go without mine while it was being washed. Don't be to scared of any complications, just know that it'll heal and you'll b OK. Wishing you luck!

Not really. I liked my surgical abdominal binder and got a hernia one as a replacement. It wasn't as strong but worked while I washed the other one. You should find out from your surgeon if they provide a garment then try to find one that's something like they send you home in. I made the mistake of waiting until after surgery to think about the binders. I knew they'd send me home in one and figured I'd be OK while I washed it and boy I was wrong. I had to call 10 different places until I could find someone 1.5 hours away and over $50. I wore it as my step down garment too.
