I recently found out I had a hernia along with my diastasis recti. 3 c sections hasn't helped the tummy out either! I'm tired of being in pain and not being able to hold my kids or do normal daily activities without pain. I consulted with a plastic surgeon and am looking forward to this process. I will post pictures soon.

Does insurance cover the TT if you have those problems? I wish you well and looking forward to seeing your pics.

I had them submit it but, if they deny it I have financing available.

Just had my TT on July 27th due to 2 pregnancies & a 3rd hernia -- drs here (mi) said they will not cover any of TT with hernia repair at all anymore (since Obama care) -- I was really bummed-- I thought for sure I'd save a lot of $ doing this with hernia repair!! Good luck !!!

I'm going to appeal based on the severity of my condition. I have the post op with the clinical notes. I agree that it should have been at least partially covered but common sense is not always the rule.

I just had TT on July 27th-- for same reasons!!! 3 hernias & horrible tummy!! Still recovering -- but I know this will all be worth it!! Good luck!!

What types of hernias did you have?

I had an umbilical hernia and a diastasis that tore to 8cm wide.

So very sorry to hear that. Mine was similar. Thanks for getting back. I'm 15 days post op and just starting to feel " normal again".

I need a doctor on the east coast for these same repairs. Any suggestions, doctors?

i am on the west coast however, you can review their work on here and when you go in for a consult ask all the questions you can think of. What type of tt will be performed?
Do they use pain pumps,
Do they use drains,
What is the recovery period
What will my restrictions be
What pain medication and antibiotics will be used
Is there a hospital stay or just a same day procedure etc

If they don't answer those to your confidence keep looking. Best of luck and it is worth it!

Hey there! Your result is looking great! You were brave to schedule your TT and BA on separate days. I was scared I wouldn't complete the surgery if I didn't have it all done at the same time. Ha.
I had a TT with hernia repair as well as a BL/BA on 11/2/15. I had an umbilical hernia (two previous c sections) and an 11 cm diastasis.
I go back to work tomorrow.
I am still like 30% swollen but I don't looked deformed anymore. Hallelujah!

Thanks. I was going to have it done 3 weeks after the tt but wanted some mobility for a bit with my 3 active boys. Sounds like our bodies have gone through some stuff and needed a tune up right??!!

I met with Dr. A yesterday. It went well. He was very informative and answered all of my questions. I asked if he was going to do lips as well and he stated no. That kind of makes me feel good because I apparently will have great results without it. My surgery is Monday. I will have a breast reduction in 3 weeks, same doc. As promised here are some photos of the belly.

The ole clean out

User Avatar
My_3babies
Well it is a couple of days until my surgery. I figured I better give myself a clean out sweep to help after surgery. Let me just say THAT did not taste like cherry! Nope. It resembled the glucose pregnancy drink. As I gagged it down I thought "I wonder how long this takes to start working?" I am renaming it the liquid torpedo! 30 minutes . 30 minutes people. Luckily I had stocked the bathroom.

Drink lots of water. And prepare for doing nothing much but running to go for a bit.

Oh you poor dear, i remember when I had to prep for colonoscopy sounds about right. Just think of how much better you'll feel after it's all done.
