I am the mother of 7 babies. All born vaginal, 1-10 pounder, 3-9 pounders, 2-8 pounders, and 1-7 pounder. I was blessed with my first baby at 16 years old, I knew then I wanted a tummy tuck after my family was completed. On December 8th I will be blessed with the wonderful opportunity to get my tummy tuck. I am 40 years old and full figured. Right now I weigh 230 and I'm 5"6.5. I'm hoping to lose a few pounds before surgery. I'm beyond excited! I am a Registered Nurse at our local hospital so I plan to take a full 4 weeks off. I've sacrificed in every area of my life. With this opportunity, I plan to do everything in my power to have a successful journey.

Well, time is winding down . In 6 weeks I'll be on my way to the flat side. I'm sure I should be buying supplies but I want to buy summer clothes for next year.
I have purchased some compression garments. At what point do you start to wear a faja if your ps doesn't issue one? My ps issues a binder but I don't believe he issues a faja.

Hi MomX7 congratulations on your journey back to you. I am scheduled for October 26. In the facebook group I'm in women transitioned to their faja after 2 weeks. Some transitioned at 1 and some started out in fajas. I do believe some wait depending upon when their drains are removed. Personally I am going to wait until after my 1st week post op and I'm having a drainless tummy tuck performed. I hope that helps.

Keep us posted on your journey! Your time is right around the corner. And you know time flies. Are you having muscle repair?

Sorry I just seen your post. I am having muscle repair. I am praying that the muscle repair decreases my back pain. I've always considered my back pain to come from my nonexistent ab muscles. I am most excited and nervous about the muscle repair.

Good luck lady on your upcoming big day. You're gonna look and feel even more amazing!

Well I have just over 2 weeks until my surgery. My back pain seems to be getting worse by the day. I try to limit the medication I take. I use icy hot patches and rub, back braces, or ibuprofen as a last resort. The ibuprofen works well for me. I know I will not be able to take it immediately after surgery so I'm more nervous about back pain than incisional pain.
I've done a very poor job at losing weight. I'm pretty sure I've gained about 10 pounds due to my nerves. My preop appointment is this week. Oh those dreaded pictures. I'm writing my last minute questions on paper because I can't remember anything inside that doctor's office. I will update after my preop appointment.

I have not visited a chiropractor yet. If my back pain continues after my surgery I am definately going to try it.

I am so exicted for you! 7 kids! Yes, I think your procedure should be free! You have earned it! I asked about the garment or faja because I thought I would get one but I'm getting a binder too. Do you think it will help? Where can I get one? I want maximum results because I'm getting Lipo and mmr.

Hello. My surgeon provided a binder after surgery. After my JP drain was pulled, I transitioned into a faja that I purchased off amazon. I wish you the best of luck in your journey.
Wow your poor tummy has been through the mill! This is exciting and I will be anxious to watch this journey taking place. Take some time and read my Notebooks where you will find some helpful lists for both pre and post op.
