Hi everyone, I am 35 with 3 gorgeous children (4, 2 and 1). With my first pregnancy, although I gained 50+ pounds I quickly returned to my pre-pregnancy weight and a flat tummy. However, things changed with my second pregnancy. Even after doing two rounds of P90X my stomach was still huge, I looked about 5 months pregnant. I knew something was wrong but before I could find out what, I was pregnant again. It wasn't until my 6 week post partum appointment for my 3rd child that I found out that I had a hernia and a very large diastatis recti. Now that my son is 1 (and i'm done breastfeeding) I am ready to have my stomach fixed. My hernia repair and TT is scheduled for April 2, 2012. This site has been such a blessing to me that I wanted to post my journey here.

My surgery is tomorrow morning. I am so nervous. I am not nearly as ready/organized as I had hoped to be.

You're on the other side now and on day 2 of your recovery. This is the thick of it. How are you feeling?

2 days post op: I was released from the hospital today and my drains were also taken out (Is that early? When do people usually get their drains out?). Although I had very little pain the entire time I was in the hospital, I have been feeling real achy since being home. I haven't taken the binder off yet, so I don't know what my scar or BB looks like.

I am doing great Angie...actually too great I keep waiting for the pain to come. I'm still in the hospital and I haven't had to use my pain pump often. I able to get around and will likely go home today. I will upload some pictures then.
