I have longed for a tummy tuck since 2005.... fast forward to 2016 and I'm finally ready to do it 3 more c-sections later. I'm scheduled and nervous. I chose Dr. Gill based on my friend who has worked with him in the past! She gave me rave reviews and when I went for my consultation... I felt comfort and empathy right away.

3 c sections., saddle bag. Did you stay overnight and have drains? What was the pain like? How long did your recovery take? could you do things by the end of the first week or second week? I am having tt, lipo, and muscle repair. Thank you

I had 4 c-section with a growing pouch with saddle bags after each one... No matter how much I exercised it didn't improve in fact my stomach became more saggy... I had tt with MR and lipo to the flanks.... I stayed overnight for one night... went home with drains which I kept for 1 week.... The incision didn't hurt... The muscle repair was very tight... I started to feel better at about 3 weeks... My husband did everything for the first two weeks...started driving and showering myself completely after one week... went back to work at 3 weeks post op.... It was hard... 4 weeks I'm all the way independent just no heavy lifting or pulling

glad to read. The doctors I saw 3 different ones, 2 were drains and overnight one was no drains and no overnight. I read the drains are a pain and a skilled doctor can use these sutures to avoid drains. I am torn between the 2 doctors drains no drains no overnight stay, stay overnight. HELP Idk which way to go............ Was your pain level similar to c sections? Thanks!

I would suggest drains because it decreases your chances of developing seromas and hematomas.... The quilted procedure is still fairly new... that's just my opinion.. Go with what feels right for you! This surgery is different from a c-section recovery if you will have the muscle repair.. If you dont need the muscle repair then it will be easier than a c-section. If you're getting lipo then you will be very very sore from bruising.

thank you for your comments. I can go in knowing what to expect after. The drains seem to be where I can't decide............idk I will keep you posted.
