29yr Old, 2 Kids, Severe Diastasis Recti (Abs Split) - Omaha, NE

(I will post pics soon). I was in severe pain due to my diastasis recti & barely able to function. I had to take a muscle relaxant every night just to get through the next day and had to go to the chiropractor at least once a week & this was even after 5months of physical therapy. My neighbor also had diastasis recti w/ back pain & it was much better after her abdomnioplasty. Learning this made me do the research and do the surgery. I'm sooo greatful I did! I'm feeling so much better! I rarely have to take a muscle relaxant, I have pushed my chiropractor apt to every 2wks now, I'm able to excersize & do things I haven't been able to in 3 yrs. I'm still healing tho & still have to take it slow & I still get swelling too. It was a difficult recovery, but I do also have fibromyalgia & my muscle separation was very severe (the worst my Dr & nurses said they'd ever seen). & I would go through it all over again, so worth it.

These were taken a couple months post op. shortly after my surgery I was able to go off my muscle relaxers & I've lost about 30lbs since the surgery (almost down to pre pregnancy weight), I'll have to post those new pics too. Everything still looks great even after the weight loss. I only wished my belly button wasn't so "Ropey" looking.
