Very fit, but have a tummy I can't get rid of...and the bloating goes up and down too. Obviously a TT won't correct bloating but it WILL correct the tummy I have and from what I have read on here, the bloating doesn't look nearly so bad post TT - coz the muscles are able to do their thing again! I have not had surgery yet - surgery date is May 4th - will update as I go!

Hi susiquisi, what kind of hernia repair will you be having?

Hi Joy, They are telling me it's umbilical. I also have diastasis recti (ab muscle separation) ..I have a general surgeon for the hernia and a plastic surgeon (Dr. Ganchi) for the tummy tuck/repair :-)

Not the result I expected
I'm at the 5 month mark...and I'm surprised at all the excess skin and continual "puffy look" to the whole thing. If you look at my pre pics you won't see ANY wrinkles. Not sure why I have them now. Seeing surgeon next week...I wonder if I am going to need a revision - very very unhappy right now.
Getting rid of the extra skin and muffin top will feel amazing. Make sure to post your pre and post op pictures for us.
You bet, I am very glad to have you here with us.
Have you been back into the doctor?
Darn:(
