The hysterectomy and tummy tuck from what I could tell and fast is healing very well. I was told not to lift anything let 50lbs ever again, to prevent a prolapse, something to do with the hysterectomy and internal repairs. But okayyyy! That's a challenge! I love weight lifting, but...
My stomach is still numb under the navel, when I exercise the stomach has a tingling feel that goes away shortly after the session is done.
I get my navel ring put back in with no problems.
Weight gain causes a very uncomfortable pulling sensation at the incision site.
And another thing, the yeast infection for me took about 4 months to fully clear up, I attribute the infection to the strong antibiotics taken after surgery.
This is what I currently look like. I love my flat tummy!

Today is 1 month
Today is the 1 month mark of having my hysterectomy and tummy tuck done. I can't tell of any discomfort that's related to the hysterectomy, I'm sure there must be something though even if it's only the swelling, also this horrible yeast infection I have may be related to the antibiotics I had to take as a precaution after the surgery.
The tummy tuck, now that! The SWELLING (fupa, I now know what others speak of) is still there especially after I get off from work and my job requires sitting. I've stopped pedicures until December just to be careful to not pull anything. I'm a nail technician.
I look at my stomach and wonder if I'm going to be needing some Lipo when it's all said and done, but then again after the swelling has subsided it may be flat.
I had one drain left in when I came back home to the Bahamas, and after it's removal the hole is still somewhat open and draining, better the fluid out than in. I make sure and clean the incision area with Dettol or savlon and after it's been air dried apply triple antibiotic ointment on it and then guaze over the drain site.
Definitely can't even imagine wearing any of my jeans pants yet, so gym wear it is. The purchase of the lounge chair for after surgery was an excellent idea, I had to sleep in mine for 3 weeks.
Time, it goes by quickly!

Hello, I am glad you have swelling because so do I and of course we had surgery very close together. I tummy actually measures more now than before surgery although the weight has come off. I dont know how much longer it will last but I hope for both of us not much longer. Today I saw a different nurse today to get my wound dressed and she pushed my tummy oround pressing on it, she obviously thought there was something in there to push out because of the swelling, luckily nothing came out. Like you, I havent even attempted my jeans! Keep updating so we can compare. Keep well.

Hi ladies, are either or both of you still checking this site? I had my radical hysterectomy and tt in May 2016 and I'd love to hear how you are doing. 14months post-op and I'm still so frustrated by pain, swelling, stupid hormones and feeling like crap. Somebody tell me this will get better soon??!!? Thanks for your story.

Hi, basically two months ago was your surgeries , I had swelling for a while especially if sitting with my feet down for a while, I'm a nail technician I sit a lot, in the morning it would be gone. I don't remember there being so much pain at that stage however I was careful in what I did that may have caused strain. My face was a MESS!! I tried all sorts of things to clear it up, thank God it's now 95% better.
Hang in there it definitely gets better.

I removed the drain
I transcend home to the Bahamas with one drain remaining, this morning after taking a shower I heard a gurgling sound coming from the drain area, I checked it, it was still compressed but it seemed as if she was escaping. What happened was that the drain came out some and could no longer suction. I was contemplation leaving it in until this evening when I got off but then I noticed that if I compressed the bulp portion of the device the fluid flowed in the opposite direction, so using a new Nipper and cleaned heads my client and I took it out. My Dr had showed my husband and I how to take it out seen that we were not going to be near her office when the time arrived.
It really was time I believe.
