WORTH IT$8,500
It's been a little over 6 months and boy it has been quite hectic. Just when I was healing and heading back to norma activity, I find out that I need and abdominal hysterectomy. Well, it's been nearly 3 months since my hysterectomy and thank GOD....everything when well and the doctor was able to do it vaginally. I feel 100% healed and have hit my fitness activity full force for nearly 6 weeks! I feel great! I am not able to do sit ups yet and will not push to do so either. I hope to get back into weights soon to build some muscle. I do recommend to everyone to keep a tally of what you eat and the amount of calories you consume. We want to protect the investment we made to make our bodies look better right???? There are many free phone aps for this --so try it if you have not already done so. I will say that I still wear my garments a couple of times a week for a few hours. I feel as if it helps, especially after strenuous excercise. I still go to my monthly maintanence for my endermology sessions so that helps too. I found someone who does it for $45 a month so that is affordable for me.

Am now 3 months post op and finally happy with my body and results of Tummy Tuck and i just found out that I have multiple fibroids in my uterus and my ONLY option is a hysterectomy. The fibroids are so large that they have made my uterus over 10 cm and therefore a vaginal hysterectomy is highly unlikely, therefore will be done through the abdomen! I am so disappointed and may seem vain but am concerned that it will totally ruin my TT! I have already seeked a second opinion and I was told the same thing. Has ANYONE experienced this????? If so, please send me your experiences.

So sorry to hear about your fibroids. My friend had a tummy tuck and years later had a hysterectomy due to fibroids. I am thinking that they did it vaginally, as she has never complained about it messing up her tummy tuck. I hope you can get some more opinions. My friends fibroids were really big, but somehow they managed. Good luck to you. You look great, by the way.

room2improve. Thanks so much for your post. I wish I had more feedback from someone with similar experiences. I'm scheduled for my hysterectomy on Wed and really scared! On a bright side--I talked with my plastic surgeon and he agreed to be there during surgery to close me up and assist on causing minimal damage if needed. For a fee of course. But I was luck the GYN was willing to schedule around the PS's schedule. Thanks for the post :)

you look fantastic ...and you rock in that two piece. I can't wait to have my drains out and to try on some clothes.

Thanks Healthynewfie! You will look amazing when you heal. I waited until week 3 to try on clothes. Glad to read you are moving along great. I did not have it easy for some reason. I could not even go to the bathroom un-assisted until week 3. But we are all different.

I have been very lucky..i was able to go the the bathroom unassisted from day 1. I started wondering if I had the whole procedure done because I was reading about everyone swelling and difficulty walking etc but I have no problem with any of that. I had two c-sections and it is nothing compared to those sections.
My only issue is BM...but I read that it can take up to 5 days to have a BM...so I am taking my colace and hoping it will work soon.
