I presented to my PS very large fibroids and severe muscle separation. My OBGYN informed me that due to the sz of my fibroids my incision would be vertical. So I decided that if I had to go under the knife I would consult with a PS. My PS informed me that combining procedures would allow him to make the horizontal incision then my OBGYN would remove my uterus and he would finish with tummy tuck. Can't wait to be about to just feel normal again.

Went to the gym for the last time before sx. received a lot of love from the ladies in the "know." i'll miss my gym "sisters." Had my pre op with PS this past Tuesday. Had the photos of shame done. Dr Dodde really put me at ease alot. Already had my pre op w/ my OBGYN last Thurs, she is sooo personable. I feel like I'm in good hands with both my drs. Today is also my youngest sons birthday, he's now 3 yrs old! My family means the world to me. Just really anxious to get the actual sx behind me. The recovery doesn't scare me at all, but being unconscious n having something go wrong is my BIGGEST fear! Can u tell I've got the jitters......smh

Everyone has the same fears so just trust in your Drs and know you are in good hands. Give your loved ones an extra kiss and hugs and you will wake up after with a new outlook on life because your "quality of life" will be so much better. Fibroids are no fun at all... I'm almost 4weeks post op and couldn't be happier. I had my hysterectomy a few years ago and wish I would have thought to combine the two.

I had a combined tummy tuck and hysterectomy this past November. I'm not going to lie... I think my recovery was a little harder than most women's and I'm very fit. I lost a little more blood, my iron level dropped dramatically, I developed a hematoma and I had trouble urinating. BUT! By six weeks I was feeling so much better. It's been more than worth it! Best of luck to you. I'm sure this is going to be wonderful for you. Just don't feel bad if you take pain pills longer or aren't back to exercising as quickly as those who just had tummy tucks.
