Finally.. Bye Bye Tummy! - Doylestown, PA

If you have a high bed buy a small step stool to get in and out. I slept 4 days in a chair before i gave it a try. I was so uncomfortable in my chair i couldnt sleep. Finally out of desperation to sleep i took the chance and tried my bed on my own with the stool. I found it easier than all the times i was getting out of the chair! I was finally able to sleep. I would arrange my pillows in a way to make it easier to get one under my knees before climbing in. I also have a headboard with finials on the end that gave me something to grab on to making it easy.
I had very little help to no help after my 1st day. Lucky for me my arms and legs were pretty strong from prior workouts! Start practicing squats now to sit on the toilet. I was really worried and thought sbout buying a toilet seat riser but after reading another post from this site i did what she said snd found the riser not necessary!
If you already have help lined up you're golden!
I also purchased a shower chair for my shower which helped a lot. I had my dsughter who is in high school remove the removable shower head and place it on the seat for me. Shes been a help but ive tried to be as independent as possible especially since my first week of recovery was homecoming week for her and she was so busy. I had wonderful parents driving her home for me which I'm very grateful to!
Stay positive......!

Was $6500 the total cost for your full tummy?

How did everything go? I'm in the process of scheduling a TT with Dr. B (diastasis recti after having 2 c/s), and I'm so nervous about making the right choice.

Best of luck. You're going to love your new belly!

Hi hope all is going well with your recovery! I am considering seeing this Dr for a tummy tuck consultation. How is the recovery going?
