Booked! Getting a mini TT to repair minor diastasis and an umbilical hernia

Yes!!!!! Friday is the day!!! I’ll post my experience and pics ;)

Hi Rcis719, It is very normal to feel that way. It’s actually funny that when I had it, that day before surgery at the hospital I was truly having second thoughts. I seriously thought of waking away even loosing the money but I stayed and I’m so happy. My recovery was way too easy. Specially after everything I read here! My PS said the same. I did not have enough laxity to pull the skin down and make a new BB. They tell you to walk hunched over and sleep in a semi-seated position for few days. I felt so good that was able to walk straight by day 4 and started sleeping horizontally by day 5. I do think my fast recovery had to do with the 2 c-sections. I’m also young and I work out a lot so in general I’m in a good health. I don’t smoke at all (never have) and for the most part, really healthy habits. I didn’t have any anesthesia side effect. No headaches, no vomiting and very mild nausea day 1. No need for pain killers and the next day I started ibuprofen around the clock. I didn’t have any spasm either so my experience had been great! Tomorrow it will be 3 weeks. I’m still sore specially around the incision and the end of the day. I wake up pretty flat. My next appointment is Tuesday and so far, very excited to see the final result after all the swelling is gone. I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery!!!! Keep me posted ;)

I certainly will, and thank you for sharing your experience! Please keep up the updates; I would love to know how long it was before all the swelling and bruising went away (Im suppose to be taking a trip to Costa Rica 9 weeks after my surgery - hoping all is healed by then), as well as when you realistically returned to exercise. Thank you again!

Oops, I didn't see the follow up pics below. I'm on the fence on this. I don't really want the long scar for my little pooch. :/

I am ok with it my diastasis was really bad and I loved everything he did. I’m flat now and you can see a six pack peeking! also I had 2 csections so he actually made the scar pretty and lower. yes it is longer but no one except my hubby and I see it and I’m happy with all the other benefits ;) very personal decision however, he is amazing!

Well.... I had 2 c-sections so I already have an ugly scar. Also, I have diastasis and a hernia and that doesn’t get fixed with planking it actually can make it worse. I have done everything and the pooch doesn’t go away. Unfortunately the only way to fix diastasis is with surgery

I hear you, Labelleza12! I'm also getting a mini tt this January to repair diastasis and an umbillical hernia. Unfortunately mine cannot be resolved with exercise, either. I am 5'4" and 124 lbs. I absolutely understand why you want these issues repaired. Good luck with your surgery!!!!
