Had 1st C Section at 19 years old. Had 2nd child child at 26 years old . First csection ruined my stomach. Now I have an abdominal overhang. I hate my stomach and ready to feel normal again! Ready to buy cute panties and bra sets and not hide my stomach in oversized tshirts. Ready to wear 2 piece bathing suits again

What doctors are you two going to? My PS was Dr Aker at Sando Jones Aker in Carmel. He did a wonderful job. I highly recommend him. My scar is super low & extremely straight, no zig zagging.

Picked a surgeon and scheduled Tummy Tuck for 12/23/2014

Went for my 4th & final Consultation ended up picking that doctor and scheduled my Tummy Tuck! Its scheduled for 12/23/2014 . Im soooooo excited!! Been wanting this surgery for 9 years now and cant believe my dream is finally going to come true!! I cant wait to put on a two piece bathing suit this summer! Not the stomach showing ones because I know I will still have plenty of stretch marks even after surgery. Im fine with that and have accepted them but I have never accepted my abdominal overhang. So happy it will be gone in 3 weeks. My Dr suggested lipo but Im on a budget so it will have to be done at a later time. I just stand in my closet for times at a time just looking at all the shirts that I can now wear and look presentable in.

Last night was horrific! The pain was so unbearable. Today I am doing alot better. The pain is do-able. Been taking my meds as scheduled. The drain sites hurt the most. Been trying not to accidentally tap them.

You look great. when you say horrific compared to your c cection how bad was it. I hope soon I will have my turn. I think I might be going to Indiana since it seems to less then Chicago.What a great gift to yourself.

I didnt have any pain with my c-sections because the meds worked well. Last night I was very nauseated, dizzy and my muscle repair and drain sites had me in a lot of pain. Even with the swelling im am very happy with the results and I feel as the pain is worth it.

It looks like it was worth it. You will be in my thought and prayers. Hopefully by summer I will have my overhang removed. Thanks for sharing it helps give me and many others the push we need.

Just stay on top of your pain meds. I took them faithfully every 4 hours. I had a drainless TT so I can't advise on the drains. The pain wasn't as bad as I anticipated. Maybe because I was expecting the pain to be at a 1000. You'll feel better everyday. At least I did.
December 24, 2014
Wow you look great! Yea, the drains suck but they certainly do their purpose well! I just have mine removed yesterday! Wishing you a speedy recover.

I hope you used Dr. Aker of Sando Jones Aker. He is phenomenol. My scar is super low and straight. Feel better & good luck on your recovery.

No I used Joseph Fata. I love my scar. He used my c-section scar so it's pretty low. I have no complaints. Thank you!

Sometimes anchoring your drain tubing to your thigh in a way that avoids any tension or movement in the area where they penetrate the skin can help. Try taping it to your thigh with some paper tape...it helps, I have done this for many patients I have cared for.
Get ready because this is all going to happen. Before you know it you will be out shopping for all sorts of new clothes. You will be all healed and ready for bikini season next summer.
